her by deregulation and the rivers training. going back to rig, now they're out there to love drugs. they're like, what do we do ah, phase one south and asynchronous up of one of the largest outages in internet history. meanwhile, rival platforms suffered technical problems as well. usa massively increased traffic on that network. also denmark santander agency. it gives the green light to pull out of rushes and it'll stream to a gas pipeline. as your grapples with soaring fuel prices. i say the situation is stabilizing. no one's going to pretend he has completely come back to normal. i wish it was, but he says it's getting it that way. and while british officials down play the ode ongoing fuel prices, they've now deployed military forces across the country. a spectral stations remain
10:01 pm
dry and use of planning, filing with keys of an great drawing was away from them. i oh, you're watching the news channels international with me. hello. hello. hello and welcome to the program. 3 of the world's most popular online services have been crippled by one of the biggest ever internet outages. facebook won't stop and instagram offline for more than 6 hours. those platforms, ronald shad infrastructure because they're all owned by facebook. would the problem being recorded around the globe from the u. k to the u. s. and here in russia as well, promising a swift apology by the company seo mcg zuka bug. my colleague collin bray, discuss the issue with elsie, contributed nick, her house know that some people are reporting that they can open their app. now. i
10:02 pm
actually could open my app as well. but i've actually been able to open my app since this morning. i just couldn't refresh the page and the same thing for instagram, and that seems to still be the case. i did just check to make sure, and there is a casto cam refresh from a theme pat with the within the last 12 hours. so i'm not exactly sure what's going on there and the facebook domain is not working on the desktop. facebook. facebook dot com is coming up at all. so i'm not sure if they're finally able to fix the issue. and i'm not sure if they even know what exactly caused it, but that's what updates are, have been so far as any of the official channels. i mean, i specified to result a twitter in order to try and keep that customers informed about what's happening. they've given no indication as to whether this was either deliberate or just an accident. no, and so far, and no one has given any indication as to whether or not this deliberate or an accident. there haven't been any allegations of a quote unquote cyber attack. at least not by those 2 companies, but hey,
10:03 pm
we are in the u. s. so i'm sure you give it about 10 to 30 minutes. one of the officials will come out and try to blame, trying to rush or ran in and in a very short period of time. i'm sure. so what are people doing in the meantime? i live at 6 hours without being able to send any messages on what's apple communicating on facebook or uploading the pictures of the lunch to instagram or whatever it is they doing instead. so some people have, some people have a twitters picked up traffic significantly. some people are joking about saying, you know, if face says facebook down of twitter goes on next, and they'll be posting all their rage tweets in food pictures on tinder instead. and then other people, of course, that have tinder goes down along with all those other 3. well, they're not exactly sure what they're going to do with their lives. because, you know, given all the shut down and things like that, people's love life is already hanging by a thread and of tender facebook and twitter goes on. i have no idea i any was when a founder saw me. and so it's pretty hard situation. but hopefully it does get reconcile because, you know, beyond the social aspect of facebook and instagram,
10:04 pm
there is a business aspect, and a lot of people's businesses are on these platforms and do communicate using these platforms. and it will be pretty sad to see people lose a good marketing tool. you know, we do want to see facebook out accountable, but we do want them to be held accountable in the right way. not something that hurts a lot of people. and i always follow up with financial analyst stand radio. how does dave perkins, who says facebook is a company that could still get away with such a huge security leak? regulators are on their side because they are on the side of the regulators and what is going on today will be over and then the convenience and the utility of facebook will be right back in the sites of the whole world and all be back on happily using it and this will be forgotten unless there is a long term damage being done in addition to the short term damage. but since we don't have the story yet, we can't speculate as to what the longer term damage might be. to them the short term damage, they'd better explain it faster, because the longer they take,
10:05 pm
the harder it's going to be to believe them. then max energy agency has cleared part of rush has no strain to gas pipeline corporation. and he is on a year of correspondent piece on and i we're not quite there yet, but this is a step along the way to this gas pipeline eventually being up and running. what has happened is the danish energy agency has given its rubber stamp to the 1st string of the node stream to gas pipeline ad. that means that it has undergone air pre commissioning. it's also the hardest number of tests carried out on it, and it's passed those tests in the eyes of the, the danish energy agency. the still some way to go yet bow before the pipeline will be open running to its fullest extent. the 2 strings were tied together in the summer of lab this year. it was of course, much delay due to sanctions and everything that came with that and all of the the political wranglings they are now in the past. it would seem as we're into this
10:06 pm
stage of going through the compliance and certificated for the infrastructure project. and ultimately once the 2 strings have been given the approval, they will be able to see gas flow through them. what's gonna happen now with this 1st string that's been approved by the danishes, that they'll fill it up with gas very slowly and gradually to essentially make sure that it takes all of those boxes as well, that it can carry the load that it's supposed to. the 2nd string of nord stream to, well that is currently undergoing its air pre commissioning. you would imagine that once that's gotten de gone, that then it also goes through the ad this to vacation stages that the 1st strings being going through. eventually, when all of this is connected up, it will as start the working light for this pipeline stretches over 1200 kilometers from russia into germany on a, on the, or the baltic sea coast there. and it could pump as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of gas into germany every year. that's enough to heat $27000000.00 european
10:07 pm
homes every year. gas, of course, in high demand across europe at the moment and coming with high prices. lot of people looking to nod stream to, to wealth fill the gap when it comes to that gas and hopefully, hopefully see some of those bills go down. so as peter says, the whole european union is on the brink of an energy crisis. gas prices continue to head record highs, surging to over $1200.00 per 1000 cubic meters. and with winter looming, there were concerns over how the block is monitoring the crunch reporting from paris. now he has charlotte davinsky. there is a lot of finger pointing going on as the block faces this unprecedented energy crisis. that winter crunch is looming and according to some, this is a problem that has been years in the making. let's have a look at some of the main issues across europe at the moment. and we'll start here in france, where there has been
10:08 pm
a price increase this month of 12.6 percent in gas tariffs that follows several months of other rises. the prime minister shall cast excess, they will not be a freeze and they will not be any more increases. but of course, that doesn't mitigate the months of increases that people have already seen on their household bills. then in spain, where the price is, they have tripled in the last year. i mean, we know that the spanish government is made emergency measures to try and mitigate the worst impact on the poor. but small business unions are just saying, this is an impossible situation. coming after the cobit crisis. businesses just cannot take any more. and then in italy, prices are set to so by 40 percent, the italian government is announced to package over $3000000000.00 euros to try and aid that. and then in germany, we also heard last week that one power plant had to completely shut up shop. and
10:09 pm
it's not the 1st time at all to do the same a number of times in september. why? well, because it couldn't get enough co. this crisis when it comes to natural gas, has pushed more people towards buying coal, depleting those stocks as well. so it seems like this is a double whammy. so what's behind this looming catastrophe? well that you cannot agree on that, but some member states see that this is a problem that he was cause itself because it's pushed too fast too quickly to move to greener energy in at the same time as moved away from fossil fuels. and essentially what it done is, is last the entire book exposed energy price is currently soaring across the u and putting unprecedented pressure on both energy companies and all our citizens when designing energy and climate policy is we have to ensure their social acceptability . otherwise we risk their failure. well, the ease flatly deny is this. it would jack said it says actually this crisis shows
10:10 pm
that the problem is there is too much dependence in the you all know fossil fuels. and the reality is that the only way to mitigate crises like this in the future is to move harder and faster towards green energy instead of being paralyzed or slowing things down because of the price hike that in the energy sector, we should speed things up in the transition to renewable energy, so the affordable renewable energy becomes available for everyone. well, as the e u is scratching its head over what to do, it's also looking potentially for a scapegoat. and some have suggested that russia is to blame for this crisis, saying that it is holding back on natural gas reserves. russia says that's not the case. in fact, russia says it's willing to step up to the hour of need of it to your peer neighbors. and increase the supplies of gas to meet those needs, those demands. but what needs to happen for that to take place is the certification of the nord stream to pipe. this is
10:11 pm
a pipe that was completed last month and would see natural gas be able to be delivered directly to germany. but before that can happen, this is our light. he to discuss this week as they meet to discuss this entire crisis. but the idea that you finance ministers are discussing bread and butter subjects like energy bills and how people are going to pay them really gives you a sense of how this crisis is. and as they scratching their heads, looking for a solution, there are tens of millions of households who are concerned about what this winter is going to bring. the difficult choices that they will have to make in order to either heat their homes or. ringback feed their families all the while, it is wondering how it will keep the light so on and brussels bays, journalist luke over, they produced that price as will soon be functional and that no stream to can play key role. here. there is no lack of gas in the world, and
10:12 pm
a good example of it is the fact that the price of gas is not increased bomb one euro sent in the united states over the last year. but while can europe, it has increased by more than a 100 percent over one year, which is of course a lot. so now is the time to support the b, the customers, the consumers, the end consumers to will order a price hike. now in the winter, but by sprain, this will be finished. everybody knows that the easiest is of course, to get the gas from russia, from an all stream to. and again, there is gas everywhere, and russia is not stopping this gas from being the liver thing is that we need to finalize all stream to and is a matter of months at most across the channel. there's a crisis in the balance in the u. k. as well with petrol stations, there's still running dry and angry dryers, forming huge keys, the government's deploying militia personnel nationwide to get supplies moving.
10:13 pm
shanda edwards dash se reports now from london. but at this way, as day 10 now of the petrol crisis situation and the united kingdom is still seeing many cars backed up outside of petrol stations. people waiting hours to fill up that tanks and even the public transportation is being diverted away to avoid all of this gridlock things have gotten so bad. now, the minute tree has now been deployed and drafted in to try and get the fuel to the petrol station. i think it's also really bold that we can actually call in the military at a time like this for that extra support to give that confidence and have a misha that's there as a precaution, because as i say, the situation is stabilizing. no one's going to pretend his completely back to normal. i wish it was, but it's getting that way. so the government says that this shortage is easing the problem is get from vassar, the prime minister, also reiterating cited javits comments just that the all the being deployed is
10:14 pm
simply a precautionary measures. now, around 200 military personnel are getting involved in this operation. they're trying to focus on is london on the southeast region. they argue that these are the worst affected for myself. personally, i'm a little bit worried because in my journey, on the way to work this morning, my call was flashing red at me. meaning i need to get to a petrol station as soon as possible, but of course, i'm not the only one a tool. millions of people are now affected. in fact, it's such a hot topic that discussing the actual situation is as common as discussing the weather here in the united kingdom, which goes to show just how many people affected, particularly those people working on petrol pump stations. if you're going to fuel a 6 or 7 narrative developing peaks and troughs, one minute, one day you're, you're fluffy and you'll be taking 3 turns is not normally they run a fuel in,
10:15 pm
so they things like some which isn't true. it just doesn't get sold because nobody comes in. well, the last 10 days have also be defined by a bit of a blame game on the one hand journalist of being attacked, saying that the media is really reporting on big headlines and then on the individual level as well. people pointing the finger of blame directly, those people panic of buying out all of this patchwork. but can jonas be a blame for simply reports in the news? no. can the public really be blamed for simply buying depleting? results is neither seems of remotely irrational, especially at the crux of all of this is the very fact that a 100 a 1000 laurie drive as how now has now had a mass exodus leaving the united kingdom. there are many reasons for that, particularly things like breakfast with these laurie drive is staying in the e u countries that they are from. so this seems to be
10:16 pm
a direct result of numerous things, particularly, like breck said, and it doesn't seem that it's going to be a quick fix for the united kingdom. donald trump is demanding that the appellate surprised broad trip new york times, and washington post journalists of their awards for what he calls the now proven fossil, the russia gate coverage over his 2016 election. when, as has been widely publicized, the coverage was no mold and a politically motivated force, which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with russia. despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation, i would expect that you will take the necessary steps to rectify the situation, including stripping the recipients of their prize and retracting the full statements which remain on the pill. it's a website. so report has fixed up the 2018 prize for almost a dozen, ask holes linking trump's election campaign to moscow. a lay to trump demanded there would should be rescinded. after an investigation into the conspiracy found
10:17 pm
no evidence to prosecute the president. the special councils investigation did not find that the trump campaign or any one associated with it, conspired or coordinated with russia. in its efforts to influence the 2016 u. s. presidential election. tom reiterated his demand to take away their ward. after a former clinton campaign lawyer was indicted on charges of lying to the n. v i. when talking about supposed connections between trump and russia, although that attorney has pleaded not guilty, trump believes that indictment has proven his point. legal analyst and jennifer dem asked at things the york times and washington post are becoming propaganda outlets . what surprised him do what it wants, is there an entity so they could revoke these awards? they could issue a statement, retracting their formal statements or former statements. it could accurately state that their prior award was based on what's clearly now been reported by actual
10:18 pm
legal sources as misinformation. so they could do all of these things. but the question is, will they do a hair, but pulitzer prize were to revoke the award and issue a statement then that would of course become a story and then people would now be bringing it up again while they really did live. but of course, those mention need allison cells are not going to report on how just how wrong they were and how horrific and atrocious it is. and with social media censoring on accurate news, an accurate 40, there's no way that people are going to be able to feel, you know what the media does not tell them to feel or that kind of outrage. and that's what bullets are, wants to avoid. the problem is in new york times and washington pose had become propaganda outlets of either the democratic party or whatever mouth piece or narrative fits their board. their owners, not only people stop researching for themselves, but a lot of times they'll just read headlines. even if the article sell might have clarified information, they'll just read a damaging headline and so that's where it becomes dangerous and no rush,
10:19 pm
a collision original is a lie. but the mainstream media did not report on it when all of their anonymous sources and fabrications were found out. that is why the, these reports themselves are becoming completely and had an antithesis to everything that we expect in journalism and reporting. pulitzer prize is certainly not the beacon of truth, that it used to complain. it was on his hon, and course suspended the extradition to spain of catalogs independently to con is pushed him on and he says he's happy about the decision i was pulling this. you can imagine, i'm very happy today. i was calling because i knew it would end up like this of spain. hassan achieved any of its political objectives. and i say political because it's clear the spain uses the judiciary, a fundamental power and the rule of law. a power whose independence determines the quality of a democracy. spain uses the judiciary to achieve political objectives. oh,
10:20 pm
so pushed him on, was detained last month in santini has been awaiting a decision on whether it was lawful for the european parliament to remove his immunity from prosecution earlier this year and were hat from which demands lower. he says the spanish government doesn't have the right to extradite him. when i finish the chalet, this situation is illegal and is caused by actions of the spanish high court that we consider contradictory to international law. we can see that the spanish high court does not respect e, you laws. they want to be part of a club, but they're not really contributing to that. not following e, you norms and prosecuting politicians for their political activity as if they were criminals. several countries such as switzerland said that this was a political crime back in 20182019. but meanwhile, cell 3000 separate him supporters took to the streets of barcelona on sunday to monk. the 4th anniversary on the catalan independence referendum demonstrate as
10:21 pm
a wave banners proclaiming we won demanding regional government leaders. here the polls results as more than 90 voted 90 percent voted to split from spain. the okay. okay. those of us in favor of independence of not jumped on the bandwagon and the catalan government, which has a pro independence majority, needs to get his act together once and for all, and take sides and apply what we voted for, which is the unilateral declaration of independence i that a day i don't see many people and so it's a be like a feeling that we still have to be mobilized and not get tired. but we are a bit tired already. because even though i'm here, i don't think it's of much use and i'm sorry to say this, but i don't see any response from the people or the politicians in particular matter. so see, i don't know anyone who's stop being a pro independence activist now it's a matter of political leaders joining us and we can achieve it together.
10:22 pm
military has successfully test launched aides cutting edge hypersonic and a ship missile called the zer khan. for the 1st time it was find at sea, from a nuclear submarine. the missile ahead, its intended target and the bar in see in the russian arctic the zip code was fast produce in 2016 and can destroy enemy ships as well as ground targets is exceptionally high speed, makes it difficult for anti aircraft systems to intercepted. the pentagon has singled out the missile as one of russia's most dangerous of the years of political bickering about us pause, haven't seen the kneeling b presentational, the national anthem. there's not a new controversy emerging at irene is around the country fans chanting and absentees. an unmask about the increasingly unpopular head of state. ah,
10:23 pm
ah. so the june went viral after appearing during an nbc bull cast oven nascar race in alabama and a b. c reporter who was interviewing dr. a. brandon brown said the chance actually sounded like, let's go brandon and nascar chad the video than deleted without explanation. but that was enough to trigger a barrage of jobs on twitter. this sounds literally nothing like love gold. brandon, can't wait for the sea, and in fact, checks to tell us that the crowd wasn't fucked, saying, let's go brandon. journals have a difficult job to keep licking dems, and biden as per that channel bosses and georgia as a miles e. the globe, a policy institute in london explained the reasoning behind the ridicule. biker
10:24 pm
is a very impressive figure, as a precedent. american, people like the president's to have a certain swagger a, so for sure, i'm so bike and just doesn't inspire that. so i think that one aspect of it, that the personally particularly young people and we're talking about sports fans, you know, young people, they kind of relate to it, a kind of a dog ring, a man, you know, over the brink of civility, who is the leader of the united states. the other thing is i think that he is very unpopular. his policies are unpopular. i think the, the afghan debacle is unpopular. i think people are getting very concerned about all the signs of inflation in the economy. i think the of the border. busy which is completely out of control is very on popular
10:25 pm
own lines may have been on america just sounds tristan's jaw from on can it's time, but the u. s. military, it's now facing a revolt from within its own soldiers on speaking out against the need a ship and the damage done by supposedly work practices. ah, all those people did die in vain. people are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we messed this up. we were taught that the country was able to, that it was founded in 1619 and not 1776. and that whites are inherently evil to i've made that very clear to my own people, but in the light of a hyper politicized environment,
10:26 pm
i will not tolerate any discrimination of any kind based on politics. this is really about the freedom, the american people, the right to choose your own medical procedures, the right to decide what's going to be injected into your, your body and what's not. those are a natural human right that you know, we can't take away from people with and that was your news bulletin. the sound up next. it's a news news. he's with host scotch. now me ah

mm. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters? cold gun violence, school shootings? oh my goodness. first was my job and then it was my family didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and i end up doing is passing the road to the american dream paved with dead refugees. it's this very idealized image
10:29 pm
