really different stories behind the bullets. a legend person says russia won't stop pumping gas to europe, sir. ukraine, as in the decision to bitch, long term contract sports and co pay the state. why within the jewish south carolina and just some member states are increasingly seeing read it would be using the termination to go green euros, parents as picking out against things like critical race, fairy and na, squaring, could now be investigated by the and beyond that for the national school boards association claim the threats it's received, tantamount to domestic tara and sinus thing descent and

marine faces, potential trial for daring to criticize president. findings have gone pull out despite another office said being held as a heroes 2 years ago. forward tongue lashing trump. ah, are you able to use the international life or most great with me? you nash avalo. thanks for joining us. prison. payton says the e, you made a costly mistake. one have decided to ditch long term gas contracts. also stressing that brussels as preferred method of gas trading over loops. some of its crucial characteristics. data is a cannot be easily stored like other commodities. i interesting other interesting points also came out of a cabinet meeting present peter held earlier on today. all sees eagle sh dano join

my colleague niel harvey, in the studio to discuss developments. well, i guess the whole point of this cabinet meeting, at least, to a large extent, was to outline russia's stance in this crisis. lemme put and talk to russia's energy minister and basically gave very clear instruction as to the country's actions and how russia will navigate this well, this market crisis, because as of now, you've seen the gas prices on the market and well as of now again, it looks like the winter is going to be very, very costly to the end of the line. european consume him, so the russian president, what he did, he called on the minister to seed through that russia remains a loyal partner and doesn't make things any more difficult. and pod than they already are. and that the gas prom rushes will national gas export in company that gas from remains a faithful partner as well and follows the contractual obligations strictly prevalent restroom should i should be. yes. prom believes that it would be more

profitable for it to pay a fine to ukraine and increase the gas volume pumping through the new systems. but there's no need for that. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper and at $3000000000.00 a year, it is necessary to fully comply with the contractual obligations for the transit of gas through ukraine. although it is more profitable to sell it on the exchange that there is no need to buy anyone in a difficult position, including ukraine, despite the difficulties in relations. second has no need to undermine gas prompts confidence is an absolute reliable partner in all respects. so i think maybe understandably, with gas prices rocketing up, some people in the west, the pointing fingers at russia and, and basically suggestion is that they're exploiting as it's getting colder. and that price gouging that, that they're trying to just milk as for will they can get what to put enough to said other. well, he didn't say anything about that per se, but he, but the fact that he has presented the show that according to the russian officials,

according to the russian didn't realize he could not have been further from well, from the this is from this that the truth is very, very different, according to the russian president are well, gas from has not only just stuck to its contractual obligations, but in fact it has increased the volume of gas. it is right now pumping to europe through ukraine. and it did not have to do it. there's no obligation on the russian gasser exporting giant gas from to do so. so, so far rush, i'd say has been very understanding and very client oriented, if i may say so. but again, of latimer poodle has stress that the aren't running a charity here, close to was be to be, to sell off speculative demand and excitement in europe. you propose stock trading . it can be done, but of course this can and should be done. not in a spot in europe, but on an exchange in st. petersburg. but in general, exchange trading is not very effective because it carries a lot of risks. is not

a watch shorts and ties or a car or even oil that can be produced and stored anywhere. gas is not sold like that on the market problem being, it seems that they're just on in of contracts. people haven't contracted into long term gas supplies. so obviously russia is not going to want to be made out of the bud guy here. what can you do with regards the pricing? well, man, you're absolutely right. and the thing is i, the european lawmakers might have shot themselves in the foot here. and well, of conceptually nukes the wallets of the end of the line, consumers of ordinary europeans. so here's, here's the thing about natural gas. it's not oil, you consciousness, get it one time stored in a barrel until you needed, and then you will access it. no, it doesn't work like that. you can't store natural gas. so what the european lawmakers came up with, they decided that they would switch from contractual from contractual trade when they receive a gas steadily throughout the year. at the current market price,

they decided that they be buying the gas of the market and they would be, would be doing so in the summer when the demand is very low. so it's essentially dirt cheap, but they would only ask for the, for gas in physical, you're physically receive it in the winter when the, well, obviously need this gas. but what the didn't well add into this equation is the fact that the simple, our pipeline infrastructure is simply not robust enough. it is too old and dated in ukraine. so gas from, even if it wanted it simply can't squeeze this much natural gas in such a short period of time. so little or make as they were hoping that russia would be able to pack all this gas that you know, a year long supply of gas into, you know, the winter months. and it simply doesn't work this way. and of course, the north stream to project would have health because the infrastructure is much newer and they can put more pressure into the, into the pipes. but well,

nordstrom to has been long opposed for political reasons, including by ukraine and poland. well, with a quote with ukraine, the irony is, well, is beyond comprehension here. so, so far, again, russia has been making these steps, increasing the volume. and, you know, vladimir putin has been very understanding and he's been saying that, well, we will do everything in our power, but it has to be beneficial to both the buy and the seller. and the, so it's really unclear as to how many more steps and reciprocated russia will take and is ready to take. let him have payton also said to day that europe's carbon italian sake had come at russia's expense. loony, friendless, can you fight for carbon neutrality? if the energy balance in europe, in this case in germany, in terms of cold generation, is twice as large as in russia. turns out you can someone else's expense. in this case, they're trying to do it at our expense at the expense of russia. but i hope we will

build a dialogue taking into account the interests of all parties. it is right in the number and i, i'm french and i know that the germans, i meeting a lot of c o 2. and so, yes, the thing that we need to do is close those coal fired power in germany and either go into gas or going to nuclear, which determined do not want. so, i mean, the energy transition is a step by step process. and if we do not do it a step by step process, if we go back to dogma, then we end up in a property and in a climate disaster. if we want to go through energy transition, the price of energy will be high and there is no way out of this. and so therefore, we really need to be transparent. these are be our population, be that we are people that are citizen at that if we want to fight climate change, we need to put more money in this. and this is something that perhaps brussard has

forgotten or perhaps new, but didn't want to share with the people. and this is where we are here right now. the natural gas price in europe has sought an all time record is now nearly $6.00 times as high as it was in the spring. as for the continent on cause for major energy crunch and laid back, internal divisions within the block as brussels as green policies. as go see is piece of explains while prices are as high as they are on the commodities market. this isn't so much going to trickle down to consumers as perhaps these prices are gonna fall upon homeowners. from a more domestic home users form a great height to what we've heard from the european commission. president ursula found a lion is that she recognizes that there are major problems that, that we're facing right now and problems that are coming down the pipe further along. but says that in the long term, it's renewable energies that are going to keep energy prices low across europe. i

think we have to be very clear that the gas prices are skyrocketing and her, but then the renewables are the prices have decreased over the last years and i stayed up so fast is very clear that with energy in the long term, it is important to invest in renewables that gives a stable crisis and more independence because gas is imported, 90 percent of the gas is important to the european union, the renewables. we are the master without plans being dismissed out of hand by hunger as prime minister victor or bon his country. just assigned a new deal with russia to import gas into hungry for the next 15 years. victor o bonds blamed these problems on the european commission saying they have far too many restrictions in place. far too much regulation. and that is what's causing the issues when it comes to buying gas. you must change is policy because of partly at least partly the reason why the prices are up is the 4th of the,

of the commission. but we have to choose some regulations, otherwise, everybody will suffer. the problem for hunger is other the new regulation of greenville, which is a direct extension for flat owners. older owners and part owner of the e u energy commissioner has warned that prices will most likely continue to rise throughout the winter. won't see any respite until the spring of 2022, just how high prices rise may well come down to something as sickle as the weather . if it's a particularly cold winter, we could well see prices soaring, higher and higher. and what we've also seen though is a number of european countries coming together and saying things half the change, france paying grease, the czech republic and romania, all their finance ministers signed a joint statement saying that there needs to be a complete overhaul of the way energy is purchased in europe, that isn't going to be a short term solution though. perhaps in the long term it may change something.

it's not gonna change energy builds this coming winter. what we're also seeing is the european union is saying that they're going to investigate claims that russia is behind attempts to manipulate the gas price that they've been trying to drive up prices. this is something that's been fundamentally denied by the kremlin, the spokesperson for the russian government saying that russian suppliers are living up to the very letter of contracts that have been signed. we insist that russia is playing no role in what is happening on the european gas market that could not happen. russia has fulfilled and will continue to fulfill to the letter all its obligations on existing contracts. there is one way to get more gas into europe and that's through the nord stream to gas pipeline. that huge infrastructure projects. construction was completed this summer. however, it's still awaiting the green light in terms of all of the certification and approvals from various agencies before it can start providing energy. once that

does get the approval that it's needed, while it could provide as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of russian gas to europe every single year, that's around enough to power $27000000.00 european homes. and i was fighting german economy, sant publisher ike, hama about here. it's an inch a crisis. this is would be perfect for. busy the german and energy policy to change to a green policy, but it wouldn't suit all the other european partners because they have a completely different thoughts on germany and their energy supply. for example, the french and especially the polish want to keep the like mailing position for germany. they don't want germany to be energy sufficient energy independent with russian gas. they would like to be to keep

a hand on the energy supply for germany. so with the north korea to pipeline the energy supply would be a would be secured, and that's why these european partners don't want criminalizing pairings, hang the claim be made against the biden administration. and the glass for the department of justice confound criticism of school boards will now be taken far more seriously. that's up to the schools, both association claim threats. it's received at time to mom to domestic tara, something that's provided, outrage my parents, for you to dare to try to smear parents as domestic terrorist just reflects just how tone death, school boards and school administrators become about the please of parents on

behalf of their children you, as attorney general wrote a letter to the l. b. i and criminal attorneys announcing plans for measures to combat what he called a rise in criminal conduct towards a school pass. now it follows a letter from the national school board association was short of an immediate threat while dealing with issues surrounding critical race theory and mask. monday's, citing several examples. however, critics believe the move simply designed to suppress opposition voices coupled with attacks against school board members and educators for approving policies for masks to protect the health and safety of students in school employees. many public school officials are also facing physical threats because of propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory within classroom instruction and curricular. these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased. the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes. any legitimate violence is

sufficiently addressed by your local police. the fed was the political police f b. i are the politics police. president biden's latest decision is part of a disturbing trend in the democrat party to silence parents. we should encourage family participation in our schools, not baseless. we attack opposing views because left as groups won't control over curriculums. i'll say contributor lauren chan, things that many of the accusations and the boards letter have been blown out of proportion. the board's letter does site some specific incidents. but if you actually look at the video footage from those incidents, most of the quote violence that they cite is actually things like parents refusing to wear masks at these meetings. a lot of what they side as actually being domestic terrorism or violence actually is just tantamount to some harsh words being said in terms of actual violence. though i believe there's only one or 2 specific incidents that were actually led to an arrest that were mentioned in that letter. i think

trying to get the f b i involved at all, frankly, just reeks of political activism. instead of actually trying to put students 1st, and i think parents are completely justified in seeing this as an attack on their rights as parents, the parents aren't shutting up for now though for the same the attorney general's got a conflict of interest in this case. what do they mean by the, the reason why the age is taking this letter from the school board association. so seriously is specifically because his daughter through marriage has ties to a firm that actually specializes in critical race theory, training or something akin to that. his family potentially might benefit financially from c r t actually being implemented in more and more schools throughout the country. how politicized a school life become these days seems like it's increasingly political. and there have been viral videos that have been leaked of students. sh filming their teacher is going on tirades against tromp systemic racism, america in general. we've even had teachers themselves posting to their social media accounts. i think a lot of parents have started to wake up that no,

you cannot simply take for granted that in education, the public school system is the same as what was happening when we were younger. yes, republicans have a case. the miniature of double standards are a marine facing potential challenges for criticizing the vida and ministrations finance from afghanistan. it's in stock contrast to another officer who was early hailed as a hero for standing up to the trump administration unties. caleb moping takes up the story. $2000000.00 from over $27000.00 different donors. that's how strongly people are feeling. the case of lieutenant colonel sheller. he's facing potential criminal charges over criticizing commanders over the withdrawal from afghanistan. now his hearing has been delayed until next week, but his family is not very optimistic or we have been told to prepare that it could be a long prison term. sheller was an active duty u. s. marine, whose frustration over the bungled retreat from cobble lead to making videos,

bashing biden, and the pentagon brass that quickly went viral. 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. i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever, but i am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table to say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic air berries before we evacuate? everyone. i am submitting charges against general mckenzie for his bad assumptions . not because i'm been did, but because the senior leaders need to be held accountable to the same standard as us. he's now accused of breaking for laws, though there are not formal charges yet. now sheller is not the 1st military man to raise a voice about issues. lieutenant colonel alexander vin damon was on active duty when he 1st spoke up against the pentagon. brass, he testified at trumps impeachment proceedings as a pentagon whistleblower,

he claim the donald trump had made a quid pro quo with the president of ukraine. he was anointed by mainstream media and the democrats as a st. this guy's a hero. this guy is the patriot. one of these 2 men, the president and lieutenant colonel whitman devoted his life to duty and honor. right matters what an extraordinary statement from an immigrant who served this country proudly his entire. now the answers from the white house quickly turned evasive when they faced some tough questions about parallels person vancover tenant colonel alexander vin minute hero. for speaking out against his commander, she even has to buy the capitol hill in uniform. so how is this different? especially since he just said the president welcomes the candor. and the advice of his military advisors, does the president also see lieutenant sheller hero? i don't have all the details on these circumstances. i understand that can be

frustrating to you. um, but we will work to get you an answer on it. republicans are speaking up saying that they see a double standard if you speak out against the democratic president who get thrown in the brig. but if you're doing something against a republican president, your lot, the hero, this is double standard. lieutenant colonel vinland was celebrated by media while of tenant girls sheller is in prison for demanding accountability on the disastrous withdrawal. both challenged leadership, one was treated as a hero and the other punished. i remember when military leadership wasn't an oxymoron, it's no wonder they can't see the obvious coming anymore. the best bureau cuts on the absolute worst wolfowitz is of the ones that get promoted and make the decisions. military leaders who criticize donald trump, dot talk show appearances and book deals treated almost like heroes. while one who just criticized biden is facing a hearing and a potentially long term spell behind bars. we're going to stay in that we c p,

an exercise here today. it's a very dangerous precedent escort or gets the standard by democrats, 1st of all it, but also manifested tremendously by the mass media tends to be predominantly, less leaning in you know, very much and pocket a, b, o, the democratic party, anything that was an antique trump, was hailed and so it's not surprising that anything republican, this is the case with minimum, was, was treated with kid gloves now. and as consequence, he, he gets off scot free, having leak classified information. the political landscape has certainly evolved from what it was a year ago. democrats are no longer celebrating those with the courage to speak up against those in power. being a hero isn't so much about what you do,

but who you do it against? kayla mopping r. t new york in the wake of the pandora papers revelations, us lawmakers are ramping up efforts to crammed down on corruption new legislation. dobbs. the enables act is exec is expected to be revealed on friday. it's designed to make it hard if american gay cape is to help current foreign officials to hide that ill gotten gains on us soil. so pandora papers reveal, would deign to national consulting or independent journalists, cole and an precedent amount of information on owners of entities registered in tax havens. they include ever 300 politicians and public officials as well as a have a 130 forbes millionaires from 9 to countries. but despite identifying over $1000000000.00 in u. s. based trust, not a single american culture is name in the documents. the papers indeed, however, revealed the presence of tax havens in the us, including south dakota,

which is the largest and a handful of other u. s. states, such as florida, texas, and delaware. the league also highlighted the woe of british overseas territories, such as the british virgin islands as tax havens. the white house reiterated its commitment to ta, clean corruption during a press conference, a back in june, the u. s. government said it would plays anti corruption and they sent over foreign policy with the intelligence community playing a key role. the work on that front in part remains to be seen, but they are included the director of national intelligence and central intelligence agency. the u. s. government has its own internal methods, but largely the way that corruption is exposed is through the work of investigative journalists and investigative. and jose, there are lines of assistance that have jump started investigatory journalism organizations. what comes to my mind most immediately as o, c, c r p, as well as foreign assistance that goes to and jose, ultimately, that do investigative work on anti corruption as well. is not the 1st time that

these high profile revelations have contained possible irregularities. the organized crime and corruption reporting project is a consortium one. but on investigative centers needs it. and journalist is one of the i, c. i trays main partners in 2019. it exposed detroit, a laundromat, which russian politicians, oligarchs, and criminals, allegedly used to funnel billions of dollars. the o. c. c r, p named numerous western banks that allegedly held longer at the money. but hsbc was not initially mentioned in that report, although troika openly named the bank as a partner investigative journalist to cater clarin. bog shared his thoughts with nice question to ask is, well, why here? why, why has the i c i, j a c r p been released this data, which he had doesn't include any of that. none is because this is what people in

power in washington and maybe other centers of power in the wider us hedge monique system, one in one in the public domain. if you look via the role of people and in the individuals and organizations as a pool, those a legit, investigative media outlets. then why on earth would they twine rugby applicant? why would they bite the hand that feeds or c, c o p alone? yeah. did they have the ford foundation? yeah. the rocket rock solid, broadest foundation, the u. k. foreign office, your cia friends, national imbalance, democracy in the u. s. a. id, i mean, why on earth would they publish anything in the 1st place that was of discomfort or inconvenient for the governments and, you know, cause i governmental organizations that fund them? the answer is, is they wouldn't, they will absolutely absolutely know what they're not meant not meant to publish what they have to have to sit on on. both organizations have a consistent history of doing this. find the rise of the black lives,

martha movement, racism continues to blake, the u. s. forcing increasing numbers to look for alternatives. one of those is the african countries have gone on, which has opened a psalms to new companies. we caught up with some of those. if turn that banks on the trouble that home to begin a new life, any content ah ah, i was born in the city and my mother was base in the south. so she always had to be warned about where to go. what cafe, what not to say. i had to raise my children to be careful though, because of the racism and things that were going on.

it's like going from living a police life to a free life. so i mean, graces them is just prevalent, especially if you have difficulty with the essence of white supremacy is, is so prevalent in every facet of society phone, you know, even food, medicaid, medicare powered sex education, and cultural engagement, interaction is so prevalent to eradicate with literally be like just the follow up with

people and on friendly and so welcoming their so respectful. everyone coming from other on to the children carry my bag. i thought they were a 1st coming from faith. i thought they were doing this but and then i realized all is healthy in the you was it was more mother of being completed a minority and then you were it was i think start with the more i think now in the us for tomorrow with black people because of all of the political tension tags and then it was more, i just didn't want my daughter to grow up feeling like she lives on my lawyer here today. it's coming up next and i would say international aids going on the ground. and for our years in the u. k,

the kaiser reporting we can continue the internet, censorship and freedom of speech co exist. there's all important question is being tested, how should miss information be define who should be allowed to make this determination? today it's about vaccines will stop there with a with .
