daughter of a care home code with victim from that state. this whole entire investigation feels like one big show to me are family members. and for us grieving nursing home families, their, their dad, they're not coming back about exactly 20 years since the us coalition invaded afghanistan. and we're the country now it meltdown. families are resorting to drastic measures and when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark side. so i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there is no option left with it is i just talked to 1 pm here in moscow and a very busy program for you today here on ality internationals. welcome to it. so europe's energy markets reeling from extreme price volatility with natural gas. now

edging back. ever so slightly from an old time record. and households, though, are already feeling the impact right ahead of the winter season. ah ah. now it must be said that russia is europe's biggest gas supply up. and president putin has said the current shortage is partially down to the use own mistakes. he

accused brussels of short sightedness for insisting on a switch from long tom gas contract to that of spot trading. the president also stressed that russia will keep to his obligations under existing contracts. as she said, she has 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 put 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 palm that in all respects the new system that president burton was referring to was

north stream to a major infrastructure project which will deliver gas under the baltic sea straight from russia to germany. it is now complete and the project operator has just now started filling one section with gas, but it still needs the final green light from germany and several countries are resisting the project. branding at a threat to energy security and damaging for ukraine or russia rejects those accusations, saying the pipeline will only help europe and gas transit through ukraine will continue while maintaining a trusting energy partnership between russia and europe. has a key focus of an international gas forum, which is right now underway in st. petersburg. it is day, 3 of the gathering and our correspondent elliot. katrinka 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 grab the attention of the most important business figures, and experts and 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 had 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 saying, 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 uses. it provides you conscious forgets 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, or there's underestimates in things. and there are those reducing investments in next charts 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 her 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 nord 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, rain. 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 of europe. 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. while i hear ubs, energy crunch has exposed divisions within the e you over green policies on gary and private. esther has blamed soaring costs on an over reliance on renewables, saying regulations should be changed. well, we discussed the issue with an energy analyst believe if we,

if we were aiming at the 2 high energy position without being like metric. 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 there is no way out of this. and so therefore, we really need to be transparent. these at the, our population of 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 the 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 or the national school boards association sent an open letter directly 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 sneer 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. well meantime the u. s. attorney general has stepped in writing to the f. b, i and criminal attorneys, and announcing plans to combat what he called a disturbing spike and harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school personnel. and my colleague mil harvey spoke with our team contributor lauren chen, who thinks that many of these accusations have simply been just 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, no. do you need to pay for the boat critical race theory, which is pretty much will be picking who, how to hate each other? how do i look 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, as a result, 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 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 of launched campaigns against coffee restrictions and the teaching of a subject cold critical race theory is less angry. protests targeting school board officials who they accused of violating that children's writing at pos. we spoke with april chapman, who was the mother of 4 children in the us state of georgia. she says many parents

have just had enough in today's culture, is the government think that 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 caught 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 of the fan and kinda 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 threats 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 caught 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 who, who is to say his missteps or blame for thousands of cobra deaths in various care homes, is set to re can $5000000.00 from his memoir. the daughter of one of those care home victims gave us her, responds to the commissions 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 of his blood 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 earlier, but i'm a realist in a month encouraged by this move, our family members a for us, grieving nursing home families, their, their dad, they're not coming back. so number one, he should apologize. number 2, she give every said 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, book deal is just one of a series of scandals involving the former governor. he resigned in late august after 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. it turned out that over 9000 patients had been prematurely sent back to care facilities, leading to thousands of preventable infections. tracy av, you know, again, things co most lucrative book deal just adds insult to injury. in the beginning, when coven emerged in new york, she was telling us to go out, you know, don't panic, the panic is worse than the virus. and then at 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 that really want answers what he needs to be held accountable. what he's done, he's destroyed our lives. hormones book, once again, it is a blood money book 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 convert a pandemic in the middle of a pandemic. but it's still rate evil. actively omit jess from public health and 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. well, plenty of also to come here on the program on arts. he including several russian prison officials, are fired over videos, allegedly showing inmates being raped and tortured will keep the details on that story in just a moment. o is your media a reflection of reality in

the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way? or are you being led to some with direct? what is true was is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offensive. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time time to sit down and talk a little into the 2nd block of the program. we go here when ality international and clashes between school teachers and police are continuing in the greek capital over a new education law. a hundreds of teachers took to the street top of their upcoming mike was declared illegal by a court. they gathered in front of the greek parliament, were pushed back by police with water cannon unions are up in arms over the government's new measures which could result in a hefty fines for educators who refused to have their work assess for today does mark 20 years since the us and its allies invaded afghanistan, toppling the taliban regime. and now when the wake of the western pull out, 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, of course, let a 2 decades of war lives lost and at the end of it all with the militants back of the top in charge. our senior correspondent, reporting from kabul is more out against death, with the latest 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 tyler 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 that is, that is that it was unanimously considered an abject failure. metalli's 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, in the press and is there on television internationally is, is who the we labor. we need to consider some uncomfortable truth that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership and her senior ranks. that we did not grass the damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders. and that we failed to fully grasp what 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 a cooling, it's 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 bible and miss 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 a 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 kleenexes 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, industrial quantities. the taliban are of course jubilee. they have dismantled everything that the united states build with human rights, the tolerance, the democratic institutions and the matter of weeks. and they are jubilant. they have after 20 years 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 an offer on the verge of starvation, with no hope inside the drugs manufactured and export, adat of, of kansas thought kill countless youth worldwide. from a geopolitical perspective, the taliban considered an international pariah. since its inception is now having to be negotiated with, accounted with even the un bob from a security perspective. yes, i'll car the eat of ghana stud may have been degraded but, but something worse has taken its place. and that is isis which has bound to the challenge to afghanistan, dominance by the taliban. in the meantime, afghanistan's banks have almost run out of cash, and people are running out of food less than 2 months since the taliban take over. but also foreign aid is in very short supply because western donors are reluctant to deal with a new taliban government and age groups or warning of

a major humanitarian crisis. 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 essential supplies, power unable to be 2 of them, can be procured. the absence of that will seriously exacerbate vulnerability for ordinary afghans. we spoke to an afghan man now living in diet poverty, who admitted to the indefensible act of selling his own kids. he claims that was in order to feed his other kids and they go up to cambridge anxious to just had a good business and a happy life and could do smaller. but then the war began, we migrated here, my savings were exhausted formula. 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. but if you could have them, they give

a facial. when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark side. so let's have a g. i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there's no option left for 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, they measure all of us refugees. here are one families. i asked for financial help for everyone. i couldn't. yokohama, 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 of rated officers of the prison and seized computers and various other hardware, 7 criminal cases. as we understand, have been opened. russia's penitentiary service has promised to punish any star found guilty of violence against inmates. of the disturbing videos were 1st published by rights activists, and archie managed to speak with the groups 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 fill natasha and was told to have the footage over to the federal penitentiary service. we also heard from a former inmate who described the horrific practices inside that facility didn't even have to let them use that. i arrived at the prison and i was given a paper to sign saying that i don't have any complaint against the prison administration or the inmates, and that no force was used against me. i had been behind bars before, but i'd never seen these kinds of documents before. i refused to sign. so i was led to a room where another inmate was on his knees naked and in front of him stood a man swinging his genitals near the inmates face. i didn't want that to happen to me, so i signed the paper as soon so i was transferred to a room with no surveillance camera to watch people called the room a torture chamber. but i didn't know that 4 people came in and beat me up,

tied me to the bed, took my clothes off. they told me i was trying to disrupt the prison regime. but that really came from nowhere. they even demanded money for me. i spent 2 days tied up there, watching me the story continues online at auto dot com. if you click on the russia section or that just about wraps up for me here for this half hour asi international like from oscar. thanks for joining us at my colleague union o'neill here at the desk of the top of the hour. i do hope you can join him then. ah ah.

so both of them once they say go could i still not believe go, he did. who bought i bought off the dial tomorrow, a couple of reviews on your quote, but i know from politicians to athletes and movies. delta musicals does it seems every big name in the world has been here left. your hope of ms. euclid corpus goes to school. i wonder why she wasn't when you get the call, but i need to the actual booklet. let's give me a glover, new sport but she said basil makes dreams. come true that every one who falls in love with people luc wide. mm. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you. then these

are the full people who pulled the trigger. i survive something on survival. one of the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face, and i had a low expectation to life. i accepted that accept the fact that i made that we had no fears, general change pre fashion, 4 shots, different stories behind the bullets. the way of life of reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle with the tundra is similar to a parallel reality which sharply contrasts with the usual realities of megacity. while the men drive the hoods, women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders, but no one would ever put housewife.
