hey, with dead refugees. it's this very idealized image of this. older america makes americans look past the depths that happen every single day. this is a modern history of the usa america r t o headlines here on our t international europeans brace for soaring winter gas bill. while russia's president says, record prices are partly down to failed policies in the european union. to try to smear paired as domestics harry just reflect just how tone death school boards in school in strangers become us paris face and f b. i cracked dow and for speaking out against mos wearing. and that have critical grace theory and also in the program healing

r t a new york ethics commission probes its own decision to allow for about governor andrew cuomo to re can $5000000.00 for his book about the pandemic here on the program. on our t we hear from the daughter of care home cove, it victim in that state. this whole entire investigation feels like one big show to me. are family members for us really nursing home with families. they're dead. they're not coming back. also in the program, it's exactly 20 years since the u. s. coalition invaded afghanistan with a country now and meltdown. families are resorting to drastic measures. and when your stomach is empty, you can think about the dark side. so i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there's no option left with will. it's a busy day for your world wide headlines here. live on,

on the international. we come to, you live from the russian capital just off to noon on coast. so europe's energy markets are reeling from extreme price volatility with natural gas. now edging back as ever so slightly from an old time record. but as we understand households now a feeling the impact of the price is just ahead of the winter season. ah.

now it must be said that russia is europe's biggest gas supplier. and president potent has said, the current shortage is partially down to the use of mistakes. he accused brussels of short sightedness for insisting on a switch from long tom gas contract to spot trading. the president also stress that russia will keep to its obligations under existing contracts. as she touched his guest, 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. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper on to $3000000000.00 a year. but there's no need for that. it is necessary to 40 comply with the contractual obligations for the transitive gas through ukraine. although it is more profitable to sell it on the exchange, but there is no need to but any one in a difficult position, including ukraine despite the difficulties in relations. second has no need to

undermine gas pumps. confidence is an absolute, reliable palm that in all respects the new system that president burton was referring to is no extreme to a major infrastructure project which will deliver gas under the baltic sea from russia to germany. it's now complete and the project operator has already started filling one section with gas, but it still needs the final green light from the e. u and several countries are resisting the project, branding it a threat to energy security and damaging for ukraine or russia. reject those accusations, saying the pipeline will only help europe and gas transit through ukraine will continue. well, maintaining a trusting energy partnership between russia and europe is a key focus of an international gas forum which is now underway in st. petersburg. it is day 3 of the gathering and our correspondent elliot trend co is that, oh look at all these complicated tubes, valves taps gas industry equipment. this has literally become

a nightmare for energy officials. lately. natural gas prices in europe have been astonishing. governments across the region for a while now the previous st. petersburg, international gas form mostly grabbed the attention of the most important business figures and experts in the field this year. many more eyes are on the gas form and st. petersburg, as the understanding of the crucial role of natural gas in heating and industrial manufacturing in europe has head many decision makers, where in the midst of the worst energy crisis and decades, some of the world's richest countries are struggling. and winter is coming. perhaps a cold winter as the forecasts are sang, just ahead of this form the russian president vladimir putin shared his views on what he called mistakes in the european energy policies of the recent years. just

because you can just forget about the stable development of the oil, gas, and cold industries, you can see what's happening in europe. this hysteria and confusion, the markets. why is because they don't take it seriously. so must speculating about climate change while there's underestimates in things, and they're those reducing investments and nick starts of industries. there should be a smooth transition in st. petersburg russians, top energy officials and the most senior management ad gas from russia's energy giant will be joined by the ceo's of the likes of unit per and winters hall. germany's energy behemoths and also the heads of the international gas union and also the world energy council. it will be up to them inevitably to tame the market . now, one of the solutions many in europe are currently counting on is the launching of north stream to the project as real hope for many major players in the industry.

but you may also remember that it used to have and actually still has many enemies, both in the region and also across the atlantic in america. it has the potential to undermine the interests of ukraine, poland, a number of other close partners or allies. they know i have issued a fine against gas problem and 5 companies involved in the building of the north stream to gas pipeline. we speak is one voice with bonds. the nostrils to pipeline is unacceptable and represents the danger for the whole europe. the european countries may not be so keen to continue to be dependent on natural gas imports from russia, but many here in saint petersburg understands that keeping russia as a trustworthy partner is very important to make sure that the crisis doesn't come back any time soon. in the meantime, europe's energy crunch was exposed to visions within the e u over green policies. the hungarian prime minister has blame storage costs on an

over reliance on renewables saying regulations should be changed, or we discussed the whole issue with one energy analyst. believe if we were aiming at the 2 in a position without being pragmatic, and those are the kind of risks that you faced when you do say, if we want to go through an edge of transition, the price of energy will be high and they had no way out of this and so therefore we really need to be transparent. these are b r population to be the people that are citizen. that if we want to fight climate change, we need to put more money in this. and this is something that perhaps presto has forgotten or perhaps new, but didn't want to share with the people. and this is where we are here right now. education authorities in united states are asking the government to use anti terror laws and involve the f b. i against parents who protest against the way that children are being taught at

the national school boards association, sent an open letter to the biden administration. 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 for you to dare to try to smear parents as domestics. harris just reflects just how tone death, school boards and school administrators become about the please of parents on behalf of their children. so the u. s. attorney general has stepped in writing to the f. b, i on criminal attorneys and announcing plans to combat what he called a disturbing spike and harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school personnel. well, my colleague niel harvey spoke with ot contributor lauren chen, who thinks that many of the accusations have simply 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. oh, he's a com no no. what is your name? the guardian didn't talk about critical race theory, which is pretty was, will be picking who, how to hate each other. how do i at these meetings, a lot of what they cite 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 they're saying 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 posing 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. recently, dozens of parents have launched campaigns against covert restrictions on the teaching of a subject called critical race theory. it's led to angry protests targeting school

board officials. will they accuse of violating the children's right? i will do everything i always spoke with april chapman, who was a mother to 4 children in the u. s. state of georgia. she says many parents have simply had enough in today's culture, is the government think they, they, they believe what is proper and right and what should your children should be taught? and so parents are experiencing a very difficult time trying to in that change and their local communities as it relates to what's being taught in the government school. people are starting to wake up and they're starting to recognize that wait a minute. this is not the public education system that i am familiar with or that i grew up in. and it's time for me to take my head out the fan and caught up, pay attention to what's going on. because they don't like what's being propagated and pushed and down frankly, it's downright indoctrination to what their children are experiencing when they go

to school and they're supposed to be learning. violence is never acceptable. so if there are instances where parents are crossing the line and threat to turn into physical violence, then absolutely those incidences should be handled on the basis of their own individual merit. but that's not what we see happening here. they're taking one or 2 isolated in some instances and trying to make it seem as if parents who are be humanly opposed to what's being taught to their children in a government school. former new york governor andrew cuomo is under yet another investigation. this time from the states public ethics commission over its own approval of his book on the pandemic. cuomo, whose missteps blamed for thousands of cobra deaths in care homes, is set to make $5000000.00 from the memoir and the daughter of one of those care home victims gave us her response to the commission's announcement. the commission has voted to approve the retention of independent counsel to conduct inquiry into

the legal and procedural operations of the commission. this whole entire investigation feels like one big show to me. you know, the ethics commission already allowed homo to keep the $5100000.00. he made off a lot of money, but the lies. so frankly, i don't see the point and having the ethics commission investigate themselves, i want to try to be optimistic. and on its face, it's a small victory, and it's a step that browser that a lot earlier. but i'm a realist in a month encouraged by this move, our family members a for us really nursing home families, their, their dad, they're not coming back. so number one, he should apologize. number 2 is she give every cent that he made off his book to his many, many victims, and number 3, what i hope and he won't voluntarily, he should do this, but i hope he ends up in prison. what he's done, cuomo is a big deal. it's just one of a series of scandals involving the former governor. he resigned in late august,

often numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. now, earlier in the pandemic, the governor was praised for his decisive action to prevent the spread of coven. but in february, it emerged that new york authorities had massively under reported deaths in nursing homes. and all that of 9000 patients had been prematurely sent back to care facilities, leading to thousands of preventable infections. tracy alvina, again, things quote, most lucrative book deal just adds insult to injury. in the beginning, when cold it emerged in new york. she was telling us to go out, you know, don't panic, panic is worse than the virus. and then in the last minute, he panicked and he made really, really poor decisions. he hasn't been held accountable yet. his resignation as governor is not accountability and us nursing on families don't really want answers . what he needs to be held accountable. what he's done, he's destroyed our lives. one was book. once again, it is

a blood money buck of lies, and it was written on the graves of over $16000.00 innocent senior citizens. and it's not only reason to write a book on how you conquered a pandemic in the middle of a pandemic. but it's still right evil. actively omit jacks from public health record, to make money off of a book deal to my father's death may have been an inconvenient number that he left off the report to get a 5000000 dollar book deal. but to me, my father was my whole world. i still up and coming on the program here one r t, several russian, a prison officials, a fired of a video to literally showing inmates being raped and tortured that story. and a few more in about one minute. ah

ah ah ah aah. policy makers, the federal reserve bank and joe by the present. thanks. america is so freaking stupid. that they can make them believe that picking up a worthless shiny round object. and going hocus pocus over it magically turns it

into a trillion dollars that the gang can deposit at the, at the federal reserve or the treasury to somehow mitigate that $300000000.00 debt crisis. oh, it's good if you to join us for the program today. clashes between school teachers and police are continuing in the greek capital. it's over a new education law. a hundreds of teachers to the streets off to their upcoming strife was declared illegal by a court. they gathered in front of the creek, parliament, whom a pushed back by police with water cannon unions are up in arms over the government's new measures which could result in hefty fines for educators who refused to have their work assess well today mocked 20 years since the u. s. in its allies invaded afghanistan,

of course, toppling the taliban regime. and now in the wake of the western pullout, many questions are still being asked, not least, why the taliban to offer to hand over osama. bin laden was rejected by the bush administration. and that rejection of course, led to 2 decades of wool lives lost at the end of it all the militants. back at the top in charge lots. he's a senior correspondent, murat gas d. f. now reports from cobble on the cost of this war. the afghan war, and it's just shy of it's it's 20th anniversary, the, the war a vengeance that was launched by the united states as revenge for 911 and quickly morphed into something else. one of the most protracted conflicts in modern history, an exercise, and a nation building before losing all lame and time towards the end. neither the united states nor any of its allies still knew what it is that they hoped to achieve. here the end result is, is that it was unanimously considered an abject failure. but taliban is,

is back in control. and more absolutely than it was before the united states invaded afghanistan. and the question that we're hearing now in the halls of congress, in parliament, in europe, and the press in either on television internationally is he is who though we lay, we need to consider some uncomfortable truth that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership and nursing arrange that we do not grass a damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders. and that we fail to fully grasp why there was only so much for which and for home men of the afghan forces would fight. this has been a 10 year malt, i, administration, drawdown. not a 19 month or 19 day neo. these scandal is nowhere near over the

americans calling it been ghazi on steroids, the republicans as well as ordinary americans that she, the end of the war is humiliating for america. they want someone held responsible, the biden, the mish administration, as well as the pentagon. so far they have done their best to absolve themselves of all accountability for what many americans again see as the catastrophe. they argue that the fault is with many american administrations that, that preceded them. and that is ignoring the tremendous financial cost of the war. some that could have made the lives of americans and many of their allies at the taxpayers so much better and so much easier. ah ah

ah ah ah. you're the wealthiest country in the history of the world, and yet we have the highest child poverty rates of almost any country on earth from the perspective of a civilian. there is scott evidence here on the ground in afghanistan of any of that money, other making its way here. aside from half finished clinics and, and broken roots, testament to record breaking levels of corruption that, that so brilliant siphoned off into the bank accounts of corrupt officials into the

pockets of private contractors. though the evidence of these billions being here is in the hands of the taliban, the guns that they wield, stamped with made in america, the vehicles military vehicles left behind the industrial quantities, the taliban or of course jubilee. they have dismantled everything that the united states built it with human rights, the tolerance, the democratic institutions, and the matter of weeks. and they are jubilant. they have after 20 years of, and selection and rebellion, believe they want. mm. ah.

by virtually any measure, this war was a failure. in some respects, it even made things worse. from a humanitarian perspective or a 3rd of afghans near enough, are on the verge of starvation, with no hope inside the drugs manufactured and export to that of, of gustavo, kill countless youth world wide. from a geopolitical perspective, the taliban considered an international pariah since its inception. is now having to be negotiated with it. i counted with even a, the un bob from a security perspective. yes, i'll cod that you'd have gotten a stud may have been degraded but, but something worse has taken its place in that is isis which has bound to the challenge to afghanistan, dominance by the taliban. when the mean time afghanistan's banks are almost out of cash and people are running out of food less than 2 months since the taliban

takeover. also foreign aid is in short supply with western donors now reluctant to deal with a new taliban government. in the meantime, aid groups a warning of a major humanitarian catastrophe. i know this is not easy, but that needs to be some solution to the financial flows into afghanistan to ensure that at least salaries can be paid. and that is sensual supplies, power, unable to being 2 of them, can be procured. the absence of that will seriously exacerbate vulnerability for ordinary afghans. we spoke to an afghan, matt, now living and die of poverty, who admitted to the indefensible act of selling his own kids. c claims that was in order to feed is other kids with the gothic amy junction who had a good business and a happy life. and could do smaller, but then the war began, we migrated here in my savings were exhausted formula. and some people got some aid here. hodge, but the others did not. my pockets are empty now and i have no option left but to

sell some of my kids and to fight for the survival of my other kids with the money i get that way. we could make him a patient. when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark side sellers of energy. i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there's no option left from the previous government did not help me, but i hope this new one will support me. i'm not asking for support for myself alone, but for all these people living here like they are all from my tribe, but in michigan, all of us refugees here are one family. i asked for financial help for everyone. for senior russian prison officials have been fired on a criminal pro was been launched off the videos, appeared on line, showing inmates apparently being raped and tortured. investigators have rated offices at the prison and seized computers and other hardware. at 7 criminal cases, have been opened. the russians penitentiary service has promised to punish any star found guilty of violence against inmates. disturbing videos were 1st published by rights activists, unless he managed to speak with

a group leader. we managed to identify almost all the perpetrators now lawyers and investigators will work with them. there will be more than 10 criminal cases based on those horrific scenes. among them was the head of security of the facility who gave the orders to filmed the torture and was told to have the footage over to the federal penitentiary service. because of that story right now, if you click on the russia section of our website r t dot com for the meantime, we are back in about 32 minutes with more of your thursday. well deadline. mm hm. well, i'm a new murphy on the internet. the allows old boons problems and much was

to invite everybody's lloyd. that wasn't a glitch. that was the feature that the fleet food is always the internet is always got in as a feature. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? which direct? what is true was is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows

for these are the full people who pulled the trigger. i survive something on survival. when hardest things that i had to face was not having a face adult expectation or like i accepted accept the fact that i made that we had no fear. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. ah hello, i'm ash kaiser. this is the kaiser report. hey, we're going to do a little bit of magic right here, stacy? well, to do magic a need either cards or coins, right?

well, i'll get this little tiny coin here. but you know, like the biggest forces in the universe are quite tiny, like a collapse star being like it really dense mass which sucks and all sorts of it has very high gravity. well, this coin is going to save the day because, you know right now in america, everybody's talking yet again. the last time they talked about this was 2000. she doesn't line the trillion dollar platinum point. now again, of course, a trillion dollars. what 1213 years later, is not nearly as much as it was back in 2008, back in 2008. we, you know, the richest man on the world was like, warren buffett, and he was worth like $40000000000.00. now it's jeff bezos and eva mosque and bernard are know, and they're worth like $200000000000.00. so it would have to be at least

fortunately and but, you know, they have on here reads to prevent patel.
