on our 2 o ah, a facebook whistleblower who prompted calls in congress for a crack dawn on the social media giant is now herself under scrutiny. critics say her close ties to the democrats show. she's pushing their agenda for online censorship. balter coming up on the program, us politicians call for new sanctions against russia over the nord stream to pipeline accusing moscow of manipulating the natural gas market. just days after vladimir putin pledge to boost supplies to europe and the european parliament passed as a non binding resolution seeking to bond police use of facial recognition software

in public places with emmy piece. healing it a major victory. our guess i've been debating the issue is good news. you're being criminals armed service, it'll be abused like crazy. there's a great saying and law enforcement, that's when you're a hammer. everything looks like a nail and a cross border kidney swap, doctors in israel on the united arab emirates save 3 lives with a historic medical tie up just a year after that concrete is established relations. ah, one minute past 2 in the afternoon in baghdad in i will be on here in moscow this friday, the 8th of october. i'm una neil on this is our t international. we will get to those headlines stories in just a moment, but we want to begin with breaking news today. a powerful explosion. i set

a shia mosque in the northern afghan city of couldn't dues. that blast happened during friday prayers when a large number of people were gathered inside. we are getting uncut, firm reports that dozens of people are dead on many injured, but i should stress so far. the extent of the casualties is unclear on the unofficial level. the taliban government has called it a suicide bombing and blamed the eyes as k. terrorist group, which was behind the cab pool airport bloss back in august. there is a possibility at local officials have been saying for quite some time of a wider conflict between add those 2 groups. we will of course, keep you updated as and when we hear more on this developing situation in northern afghanistan, democrats in the u. s. congress are calling all light for kohls, for

a crackdown on facebook following the claims of a company whistleblower. although it now turns out that francis hogan has close ties to the democrats, something she failed to mention, while demanding action against her. nie former employer case looks products harm children, stoked division and week in our democracy. the companies leadership knows how to make facebook and instagram saver a won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical prophets for people. congressional action is needed. well, let's try on on tangle. the web front is hogan is being represented by a co founder of whistleblower aid. john tie, he served in the obama administration, the other co founder of the organization, which helps whistleblowers pay their li lawyers fees. he's mark zayna, he we know was a legal representative for one alexander vin men,

a white house stuffer who testified in donald trump's 1st impeachment trial. max blumenthal editor in chief of the greystone highlighted other alleged links to unsafe political affiliation, is no surprise. in this case, her testimony dove tales very closely with the democrat censorship agenda. their plan or their desire to heavily sensor social media. frances, how again was pushing that agenda if it's true that bryson gillette, b strategic communications firm that is reportedly advising francis how going and which was founded by former obama aid bill burton. does it enjoy this relationship with her? then we also have to consider her relationship, a possible relationship with abide and white house, who's press secretary jen. saki, i actually used to be employed as a senior advisor by bryson juliette. what's clear here is that democratic

operatives were not, if these reports are true, are providing p r advice and promotion to francis how going a previously unknown figure, who was instantly verified by twitter the day of her carefully coordinated and crafted testimony. so she's not as a, an actual whistleblower. she is a political operative advancing a cohesive agenda. but what's more, it's a merge that francis hogan is a regular donor to democrat affiliated organizations. helping party candidates get elected legal on media unless lionel on max blue metal again gave us their take on the facebook allocations on the dangers that comes then with censorship. she just wants more government intervention. so i think the impact we're going to see going forward is more censorship, more intervention from the intelligence services. and the reorientation of these

social media sites to target official u. s. enemies per her recommendation. i think of. 2 you know, it could, it can benefit multiple causes, you could see it benefiting the religious. right. that doesn't like the kind of semi pornographic content on instagram and the way it degrades women of feminist could get behind it. but behind it all is a much more insidious agenda that how going outlines she has explicitly called for bass, beefing up facebook counter espionage team to take on official enemies. she named me and mar ethiopia, which is a new target of u. s. empire as well as iran and china. she did not refer to facebook working with any u. s. allies to carry out malicious activities. this is an extension of the narrative we've been hearing since the russia gate saga began. the real issue, the gravamen, the, the $64000.00 question is one of our people and coating

a former president of the united states who are excluded. an expert gated bowdlerized from any kind of public conversation. because of who he is. that's the issue. i may ask you some, one of you were on your phone on your mo bile and you said something politically piquant and all the sudden your phone went dead because your carriers as far, we don't like that. that's a hate speech. and you say you're the phone company, you don't, you don't monitor what i say. well, that's what we have to look at these companies as utilities, they will shut you down merely because you're oh pining and expressing in a an opinion. that's what they never talked about. that's the reason that's what i wanted to hear. that was never addressed in this big whistle blowing, expose a blah, blah, blah, blah blah. as gretta would say, calls are growing in the u. s. to slump and new sanctions on russia over the nord

stream to pipeline in light of europe's energy crisis. no, it comes just days after vladimir putin pledge to ramp up. natural gas applies to europe after the price hit a record high. let's get more in this now. our taste on quarter joined me live in the studio. i thought with that pledge from the president, the communication channels might be a little bit more open, but it seems, have gone the other way. well, it, at least in the u. s. right. exactly because russia is being accused by a number of western politicians of trying to keep the price as high as possible. but that announcement by the russian president to boost supplies to europe actually caused a price decrease of 20 percent during this energy crisis. and just 2 days after that, us congressman michael mccaul. busy was calling for the resumed the resumption of sanctions against russia in connection to the north stream to pipeline. and we have to ask why he says, because somehow rushes trying to weaponized that president biden and chancellor

merkel committed to taking action. should russia attempt to use energy as a weapon? yet both of tend to blind eye to the puts in regimes deliberate efforts to pressure europe into accelerating the russian node stream to pipeline certification process by manipulating europe's gas markets and leveraging a severe energy crisis on the continent. now, mccaul, there, of course, accuses angle of merkel of turning a blind eye to some malign, influenced by russia, but actually anglo merkel herself, has said that a russia always fulfills its obligations and contracts that are made of course, voluntarily with the european union. the fog, it is a gift. this. if you ask me whether there have been orders that russia has taken and then fail to fulfil as it stands. now, that is not the case. that is, there are no orders that frush has said, no, we will not deliver those to you and we are not pumping gas through the ukrainian pipeline. rather russia can only fulfill orders that have been contract it out. so the question is really,

isn't of being ordered. the president of the international gas union also praised russia as the power that can bring energy security to europe. and that's and that they would have to that there would be able to use the nord stream to pipeline to do that. so it doesn't really seem like mac calls, reasoning for a resumption of sanctions against russia has a leg to stand on, has russia itself and responded to what washington a say? yeah, it has actually, the russian foreign minister survey lavern said that basically this is an attempt by the us to pitt russia against it's european partners. let's take a listen to what he said to your lucifer. you've been with us openly say that cooperation with russia is contrary to europe's energy security interests. they want to directly embroiled in this area and reduce our independence. so when he's it's, it's also important to note that earlier russian president vladimir putin urged russia state gas company gas prompt to continue pumping natural gas through ukraine even when nor string to was fully operational at that move would show europe that

russia's acting in good will in good faith that they're going to go follow through with their contractual obligations. even though if they made a full transition to the north string to pipeline, it would save the company billions of dollars. very intriguing. let's see how this one plays out in the next few. i was gonna say days may be ours as well as dollar quarter. thank you very much. european lawmakers are pushing for a bun on facial recognition systems used by police. the e parliament has passed a non binding resolution against biometric surveillance, which some emmy piece compared to the cold war snipping. that's an important step in fighting against mass surveillance. the central and eastern europeans used to live under the eye of the big brother. and we don't want to come back on the resolution calls for a ban on the funding or deploying programs that could result in discriminate mass

surveillance. the document also emphasizes the importance of human supervision in any final decision making on, urges authorities to be more transparent by using open source software. well, it is not the 1st time that nations are taking a stand against excessive surveillance. in 2019 san francisco became the 1st city in the u. s. to enact a complete bomb on police, biometric surveillance, boston minneapolis. then followed that lead. we discuss the pros and cons of facial recognition with terrorism and security expert david low, and also let's hear 1st from former u. s. police officer. dominic is o. there's a great saying in law enforcement that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. and all this does, it may have the great grand scheme idea of you're going after some very serious offences like child sex trafficking. i'm missing persons or terrorist activity, but i don't care who says what it will always be used down to your lowest common

denominator, which is your citizen, and it will be abused like crazy. you're then actively putting a tool in the police's hands to look for crimes proactively in the wrong way. i think this is just, this is a door that's going to be open for some very abuse of authority. i don't think it's a good idea and it should have put police in this mindset of that. everybody is a criminal. good news. we are in criminals and terrorists, a terrorist threat. both in europe. i know north america since we'll have enough gummy. so if you did look out, i mean i'm talking about dealing serious organized trauma trafficking, lots of dealing with trafficking, those type of fences and terrorism. and i think the point that was made, but you know, it's only allowing, like counter terrorism agencies, policing agencies in the u. k will be like the national con, one. you know, a, we agency those things you wouldn't giving 70 police force. it was like when we

were in the european union, michigan information system, which was a database that wasn't available. so the police force in the u. k. it was only to send an offices and the pounds, i just happens and all of them in the united states were, were abuse. we just abuse. so if it was, if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up more than a 100 percent, if it oversight was proper on it. and i think it would be a great tool. i think that, but we just, we always take something that's, that's meant to be some way and we just, we water it down and we abuse it. it's about giving who has access as a day to store and also destroying data quest. read the question installments on it, or making sure those safeguards in place. and that's why i said, you need judicial scrutiny. what's to make it say that it doesn't go all the way down to again, the lowest common denominator, which is the citizen and a detective, or a st. cops shriek up as a bad day. and he wants to go through all the backlog of your activity for last 6 months and charge you for

a crime that you committed 34 months ago. poland is on a collision course with brussels. it's after war sauce, top court rule that some new laws are unconstitutional on the timing is making the issue even more acute as poland currently seeking billions of euro, any you recovery funds or europe correspond? peter, all of her picks off the story. there are shots fired in that confrontation between warsaw and brussels and the constitutional tribunal. poland talk court is basically said that the polish constitution has precedence over you law in the country. the primacy of constitutional law over other sources of law, results directly from the constitution of the republic of poland. this has been clearly confirmed by the constitutional tribunal. it's very important to point out the polish prime minister material more of it. he says, this isn't a sign that poland is about to try and leave the european union. in fact,

he says his country has no intention of doing just that. but we are hearing again things that sound like breaks at room briggs at a cost to do it. hasn't gone anywhere yet. well, now we're hearing about politics. it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but it is what it is. in fact, here in germany, the press is full. this morning of talk about this being a legal polk said that poland has essentially, by making this ruling the try to pull itself out of the legal frameworks of the european union and france deeply unhappy as well. we've heard a condemnation from paris of the european commission has said that they have serious concerns about this ruling from the courts, while other e. u officials are clearly far from happy at this move, the verdict in poland cannot remain without consequences. the primacy of you law must be undisputed violating it means challenging. one of the founding principles of our union, you states must not stand by idly. when the rule of law continues to be dismantled by the polish government. neither can the european commission or money can't

finance governments which mock and the gates are jointly agreed rules this, it could be a go a different way though, could be because these rulings from the courts only become law when they're published by the polish government. now, what could happen is the could take this ruling from the constitutional tribunal and go, we'll pop that in a drawer for now, and maybe we'll look at it a little later because what you have at the moment is the situation whereby poland isn't getting tens of billions from the european union encoded recovery money, poland can look at other member states. we've already received their cash. you're already spending their cash and wondering well what, how we going to make sure we get out? so we may well see this ruling from the court used as some type of bargaining chip to try and find a rapprochement between warsaw and brussels. but it certainly doesn't look good at the moment in some of the concern that's been shown from the european side. certainly justified, as poland says,

essentially the rules in its country supercede those of the european union. the latest nobel peace prize winners have just been announced. we love a report on that. immediately after the short, the breaks join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. when i was speaking the guess on the world politics sport. business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah . ah

. ah ah. ah, just approaching 20 minutes into the program. welcome back. the nobel committee has just announced the winners of this year's piece price. it's going to 2 journalists, a filipino under russian for promoting freedom of expression, less cross live,

to our own correspondent, dmitri polk. for this story to meet you the night spent, i think it's safe. this has taken many, by surprise. can you tell us who these journalists are and why they're being recognized by the nobel committee? sir? yeah, well, the nomination itself will as well. everybody was interested and curious who would receive this years nobel peace prize because it's always been a controversial matter with lot of generally very controversial nominations throughout the years. well, this year's a decision turned out to be also quite unexpected. done norwegian nobel committee decided toward the prize to maria ross of the philippines, and the russian journalists led me to re murata, for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression. now in terms of the more out of this is the 1st time a russian citizen has received the peace prize before that only 2 people from the u . s. sr, have ever received it, a scientists and human rights aggregate. andrew soccer off and the former ussr president michael gorbachev. now me 3 rod of is one of the founders of the

independent newspaper nova gazette since it start up in 1993. no, because it has published critical articles on subjects rating ranging from corruption to police violence from the war to the war. and since the newspapers start, 6 of its journalists have actually been killed, including an upward cosca which happened almost 15 years ago to the day. who wrote, she wrote revealing articles on the war in chechnya. now 5 men were jailed for her murder by you're still unclear who exactly ordered that killing the 2nd. not many of the nomination is maria ressa. she's the co founder of rattler a digital media company for investigative journalism in the philippines. now, knowing that we're out of though the decision to give him the prize is kind of said to be controversial, especially within russian liberal opposition circles, many of whom hoped that the jailed alex, in a volunteer would actually receive the peace prize. however, murat of himself has said that he feels that the prize is not exactly his

accomplishment, except that of his staff and the people who lost their lives working for him. the kremlin turn, however, has congratulated more out of hon is achievement and marks that he is a talented man who has held on to his ideals for almost 25 years. dmitri poke taken us through the window of the nobel peace prize for this year. thank you. turkey has joined algeria in lashing out of the french precedent. it's after a manual micron suggested there was no korean nation before french colonial rule and crept brandon mccullin's words. a populace move ahead of next year's presidential election in france. turkey and algeria joined a growing list of nations are now at loggerheads with partis. charlotte dubin ski reports france isn't having the easiest of times it seems to be handling on multiple products internationally. and was that it's waging offer some

foibles. take how g urea, francis pool mccullen, e h resisting president mack owens at times to draw the line and has an axe to grind that didn't go down well and then to add insult to injury my home blamed hey to to was frogs. young algerians home, the political military system, which it re written history based on lies even questioned. what is algeria was there in algeria nation before french colonization? that's the question. i'll jury a post 1900. 62 is built on a memorial rent that declares france is the whole problem, hugh, re cold ambassador. while algeria also plays it as face to see the french military

notes colonial, oppresses all nought, to welcome the country. essentially said this in leisure, which pushes to process official relations with some of our countries into unfortunate crisis situation should result through unconditional mutual respect. that's not the only trouble facing frogs in africa. hi, molly has a summons. the french ambassador for the nations, it's furious that has crawled, seeks to withdraw its troops. he can still think that he can hold the fort by sabre rattling, but if you will need the left hand to bargain. the situation arising from the end of operation back on puts molly in a fait accompli bundling ost mid flight to a certain extent. and it forces us to explore alternatives and means to better ensure our security, autonomously, or with other partners. and then there is this,

oh, might see your face. there was no why that we could have taken this decision without it having and causing deep disappointment. and hood to, to frances this, there's no way we could have avoided that if it wasn't bad enough that a straight country which ranks a few more than several runs below france and military strength shocked it off for a rendezvous with the u. s. it also invited them briggs fuckin is alone for the jolly, the french what dears. and found themselves crying out. which brings us to the u. k. my horn has often been compared to napoleon the will he get caught in the next of

is very own waterloo, francy sewing, sent over the u. k. 's refusal to let x, fishermen troll they catch in british waters. it's even threatening to cut the country's electricity supply. surely it would make more sense to just pass on the increasing costs of energy to the bricks, making them pay double. but no michael's government is forcing a battle of wills who will blink 1st. all of this comes as a friendship president is set to face. he's a 1st competition to date. as the presidential election goes close to many, it's suggesting the only person who blew a holy mackerel hopes is well himself trans has lost his position for some time already i would say since the end of the shoulder go as president transit lost his position on the local stage of france has decided to follow the steps of the

united states. busy and nato, and we've seen the catastrophe of that in an afghan, iraq in x u. a saga. we see that francis totally lost it. macro is just living on the doors that france just to have. and now it's just finding out that this power that france started had, he just doesn't have it. he's not the only one. he's just the one which is a he is the president which is exposing this to the, to the public. ready that france is no longer the power, it used to think it was an inspiring story of cooperation i from the middle east, the lives of 3 women have been saved by a historic series of kidney transplants between israel and the united arab emirates . it's a major boost from medical collaboration between the 2 nations, which a snobbish ties just over a year ago. ah
