just days up to vladimir putin pledge that boost supplies to europe. and the european parliament passes a non binding resolution seeking to boston. police use a facial recognition software in public places with m. p. 's handling it. a major trade card guess debate. the issue is good news for you in criminals and terrorists. it'll be abused like crazy. there's a great saying and law enforcement and job. when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. ah . from moscow to the world, this is our today. my name's you know neil, you're welcome to the program. we begin this hour with breaking news from afghanistan. dozens of people have reportedly been killed in an explosion of a she, a mosque in the trees,

northern city of couldn't is. you may find the upcoming images of the aftermath. the stressing will a blast happened during friday parish with a pack congregation inside. there are conflicting reports on the number of casualties, but officials say at least 50 are killed. more than $100.00 injured, a suicide bomber is said to be behind the attack. the taliban. blame the isis cateris group which carried i. the cab bull report blast in august, which all scores of people kill then on this latest incident follows a deadly explosion on sunday. and another mosque in the countries capital. and it all comes just 2 months since the taliban swept the power at filling the void left by the u. s. lead withdrawal. so our braking use this, our official seeing at least 50 people killed at following a what appears to be a suicide bomb attack by isis k. in northern afghanistan,

earlier i spoke to reiter commentator abdel berry antoine, who believes the attack was designed to send a clear message. some states were targeting shiara, they were targeting chia in syria. they were targeting everywhere in the middle east. so i wouldn't be surprised that this is, as i said, you know, this is actually the work that them because they consider as there is another good believer over there. so this is, this is the execute. but i mean, the major aim is to these that belies up, get them to actually be stabilized, the appellate body rule and of denison. so this is, this is the beginning. and i wouldn't be surprised that me more of the big lee at that slide miss will take place and a few weeks a month. ahead. okay, to another story to day democrats in the u. s. congress are going all are twit

calls for a crock. done on facebook following the claims of a company whistleblower. although it now turns out that francis hogan has close ties to the party, something she feel to mention while demanding action against her former employer. facebook's 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 afore people. congressional action is needed. well, let's try and untangle the web. francis hogan is being represented by a co founder of whistleblower 8. john tie, he served in the obama administration. the other co founder of the organization was helps whistleblowers pay their lawyers fees is mark said he was a legal representative for this month. alexander vin men, a white house stuff, or who testified in donald trump's 1st. the impeachment trial,

max blumenthal editor in chief of the grey's own highlighted all their alleged links, unsafe political affiliation shouldn't come. as a shock. her testimony dove tales very closely with the democrat censorship agenda. their plan or their desire to heavily sensor social media or francis, how again was pushing out that agenda. if it's true that bryson gillette, the strategic communications firm that is reportedly advising francis halligan, 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 money whose press secretary, gen saki. i actually used to be employed as a senior advisor by brice angela on. what's clear here is that democratic operatives were not. if these reports are true,

are providing that p r advice and promotion to francis. how get a previously unknown figure? who has 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. what's more, it's a merge that fronts us huggin is a regular donor to democrat affiliated organizations, which help party candidates get elected. legal on media unless line or on mux blue and tell again, gave us their take on the facebook allegations and also the dangers of 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, you know, it can, 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 encoding 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 of a sudden your phone went dead because your carrier says car. 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 slap new sanctions on russia. we're the north

stream to pipeline in light of europe to energy crisis. it comes just days after vladimir putin pledge to ramp up. natural gas applies to europe as prices hit record highs. ortiz donal quarter, took me through the details. they're basically being accused of trying to artificially keep the price of natural gas as high as possible. but that actually announcement by the russian president vladimir putin to boost europe's natural gas supplies, caused a price decrease of 20 percent. right after that, amid this energy crisis, and just 2 days after that, we heard from us congressman michael mccall, who said that the u. s. should resume sanctions against russia in connection to the north stream to pipeline. and why? he says that russia's somehow weapon ising. it 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. i'm a call says angle of merkel is turning a blind eye to some apparent malign, influenced by russia, but angle of merkel herself has said that russia fulfills all of its obligations in these contracts that are voluntarily made between russia and the european union. d fog. it is a gift, this, if you ask me whether there have been orders that russia has taken and then fail to fulfill as it stands. now, that is not the case. that is, there are no orders that russia has said no, we will not deliver those to you and we're not pumping gas through the ukrainian pipeline. rather, russia can only fulfill orders that have been contracted out. so the question is really, isn't being ordered. the international gas union also praised russia as the power that can bring energy security to europe, and that the north stream to pipe would actually play a crucial role in that. so it doesn't exactly seem like the reasoning behind mccall statements to resume sanctions against russia has

a leg to stand on. and yet the allegations from the u. s. keep coming. how is moscow responded? we heard from russia's foreign minister survey leverage. he said, basically the u. s is trying to pick rushes european partners against moscow. let's take a snort, he said fit your list of 30 for them will go to. the 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. now it's also important to note that russian president vladimir putin even urged to russia state gas company, gas prom, to continue pumping fuel through crane even once north stream 2 is fully operational. and that move would show europe that russia wants to act in good faith that they're ready to fulfill their contractual obligations. even though if they made this move entirely to pumping gas to the north stream to pipeline. this would save the company, billions of dollars. markets watcher, cray gerland believes any new sanctions against the north stream to pipeline

wouldn't have the desired impact the pipeline has been completed and it's, it's to the situation now is about approval on the a you is in a difficult situation when the pressure is going to be maybe not immediately, but the pressure is going to be substantially get this over the line if with 2 months from now when we're in the midst of a cold winter, then pressure is going to ramp up. and i don't think sanctions is going to ultimately get in the way that the end of the day your pin is always going to choose to keep the lights on over. 2 2 over move in search of an ideal for the storage levels are much lower than they typically are this time of year and they don't have the capacity to make up the lost grounds. we know we've obviously had a cold winter last year, which is why these levels are low. we know if we have another call when to this year that these levels are going to be follow once more. and we're also at a point when demand is higher because of the reopening that we have seen around the

world. so think europe has a massive problem and they are in a position now where they are heavily reliant on any extra supplies that can come from russia. european lawmakers are pushing for a bound on facial recognition systems used by police. the parliament has passed a non binding resolution against biometric surveillance, which some m. e p compared to cold war sniffing. that's an important step and 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 some of the men details here, the resolution calls for a ban on funding or deploying programs that could result in indiscriminate mass surveillance. the document also emphasizes the importance of human supervision in any final decision making and urges authorities to be more transparent by using

open source software. and it's not the 1st move against success of surveillance. in 2019 san francisco became the 1st city in the u. s. to enact a complete on police, biometric surveillance and other american cities, followed that lead as well. we discussed the pros, the cons of facial recognition with terrorism on security expert david low, and also former u. s. police officer. dominic is 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 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. as you can put police in this mindset of that everybody's a criminal is good news. you are being criminals and terrorists, and i think our terrorist threats both in europe and now north america, since we'll have enough money. so if you look out, i mean, i'm talking about dealing with serious organized trauma trafficking. i'm lots of dealing with cs trafficking, those talk to friends in terrorism, and i think the point that was made, but you know, it's only allowing like counterterrorism agencies, policing agencies in the u. k will be national con one. you know, we agency those things. you wouldn't giving to have any police force. it was like when we were in the european union, michigan information system, which was a database that wasn't available. so every police force and 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 the oversight was proper on it, that i think 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, and we just, we water it down and we abuse that it's about giving who has access. where is the data stored and also destroying dates it with our class friendly the trash intelligence on and on. it's making sure those safeguards in place. and that's why i said you need judicial suits think. well, what's to make it to say that it doesn't go all the way down to again, the lowest common denominator, which is a 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 the last 6 months and charge you for a crime that you committed. 34 months ago. another story were closely following to lay poland on a collision course with brussels. it's after war source, top, a court rule that some european union laws clash with the country's own

constitution. and the timing is making the issue even more acute as poland currently seeking billions of euro and e, you recovery funds. peter over picks up the story for us. there are shots fired in that confrontation between walsall and brussels and the constitutional tribunal. poland top 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 visibly 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 breaks 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 tried to pull itself out of the legal frameworks of the european union and france deeply unhappy as well. we've heard our condemnation from paris. 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 ease 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 gate are jointly agreed rules. well, this could be 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 put that in a drawer for now, and maybe we'll look at it a little later because what you have at the moment is a situation whereby poland isn't getting tens of billions from the european union in covered recovery money, poland can look at other member states. you'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 rapport small between warsaw and brussels. but it certainly doesn't look good at the moment. and some of the concern that's been shown from the european side certainly justified, as poland says, essentially the rules and its country supercede those of the european union the nobel peace prize winners, helping

a nines for 2021. and the names have surprised many find out who's been awarded shortly. ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. and obviously the guess of the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. oh is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true?

walk this way. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah ah, hello again. the nobel committee has a nice the winners of this year is peace prize. it's going to 2 journalists, a filipino and a russian for promoting freedom of expression ortiz. dmitri polk has more in that well, in the run up to this kind of for this nomination. everybody was excited and curious to see who would be this,

who would win this year's nobel peace prize because in the past, it's always been a controversial matter with a lot of very controversial nominations throughout the years. over this years, decision also turned out to be well quite unexpected than our region. nobel committee decided to split the award among 2 journalists for their contributions to safeguarding freedom of expression. the 1st journalist is maria reza of the philippines. she is the co founder of raptor or digital media company for investigative journalism in the philippines. according to the nobel committee, her work focused critical attention on to charities regime and controversial murderers anti drug campaign, among other things. now, the 2nd journalist, to who to win the nobel peace prize as the russian journalist dmitri murat of he is actually the 1st russian citizen to ever receive the peace, the peace prize. because before that, only 2 people from the ussr had ever received it. a scientists and human rights advocate on the soccer of and the former president of us. sorry, michael gorbachev. now to be the more out of is one of the founders and the current editor in chief of the independent newspaper. nowhere gazette,

literally the new gazette. and since it start up in 1093, it is published critical articles on subjects ranging from corruption to police violence to war. and since the newspapers start, 6 of its journalists have actually been killed, including anabolic cosco who was killed almost 15 years ago to the day who she wrote revealing articles on the war in chechnya. now while 6 men were jailed for her murder, it is still unclear who exactly ordered that killing. however, the decision to give more out of the prize is kind of set to be controversial within russian liberal opposition circles, especially because many of them hoped that the jail to look sane of volley would received it. however, the kremlin has congratulated murat of on his achievements and mark that he is a talented man who has held on his ideals for several decades. all at this point, however, more out of himself has said that he does not see alike. the prize is his accomplishment, he feels that is the accomplishment of his staff and especially the people who lost

their lives working for him. he has said that the money that comes with the prize will be given to children's charity foundation. turkey has joined algeria in lashing eyes at the french president after emmanuel micron suggested there was no algerian nation before french colonial rule on crow, branded microns words, a populous move ahead of next year's presidential election and france, turkey on del jury. no, not part of an expanding list of nations currently at loggerheads with paris. a charlotte davinsky reports france isn't having the easiest of times. it seems to be battling on multiple fronts. internationally. and was it it's waging offer some foibles take? i'll g re a frances form, a colony, it's resisting president mack ones at times to draw the line and it has an ax to grind

that didn't go down well and then to add insult to injury. my home blamed hatred towards france. young algerians on the political military system, which had rewritten history based on lies when questioned what is held urea was there in algeria nation before french colonization. that's the question. i'll jury a posting 1900. 62 is built on a memorial rent that declares france is the whole problem, q a. recall dumbass a debt, while algeria also plays it as face to the french military notes, colonial presses are not to welcome the country essentially set this amnesia which pushes process official relations with some of our countries into unfortunate crisis situation should be resolved through unconditional mutual respect that's not the only trouble for

a sing. france. in africa. marley has a summons. the french ambassador for split nations. it's the rear. as fraud, seeks to withdraw its troops. he can still think that he can hold the fort by sabre rattling. but if you're near the left hand to button, the situation arising from the end of operation back on puts molly in a fe accompli bundling nose mid flight to assist. thank and it forces us to explore alternatives and means to better insure a security on the mostly or with other partners. and then there is this whole my t catastrophe. there was no way that we could have taken this decision without it having and

causing deep disappointment and hood to, to france this, this, there's no way we could have avoided that if it wasn't bad enough that a strange country which ranks a few more than several runs below france and military strength shocked it all for a rendezvous with the u. s. it also invited the briggs balcony is long for the jolly, the french what's serious 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, francis so incensed over the u. k. 's refusal to let explanation tool 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 brits, making them pay double. but no mcenroe government is forcing a battle of wills who will blink 1st. all of this comes as a friendship president is set to face his stay 1st competition to date. as the presidential election hurdles, closer, many at suggesting the only person who blow a hole in makins hopes is well himself trans has lost its position for some time already. i would say, since the end of a show to go as president transit is lost, his position on the global stage a trance, has decided to follow the steps to the united states and nato. and we've seen the catastrophe of that in an afghan in iraq, in extra saga. now we've seen that france is totally lost. it macro is just living on the orals at france just to have. and i was just finding out that this power, that france, thought it 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 wishes exposing this to the, to the public. that france is no longer the power, it used to think it was a deeper dive into all of this. our stories as always can be find on our t dot come fresh content, a lively discussion. just a click away. ah well imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what are the chapters cold gun violence, school shootings, homelessness? first, it was my job then it was my family. didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have

nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and i end up doing is passing the road to the american dream paved with dead refugees. it's this very idealized image of our america makes americans look past the deaths that happen every single day. this is a modem. history of the usa, my america. oh no, t o n, i will show the wrong one. all 3, just don't a whole new world. yes to shape out this day because the advocate an engagement, it was the trail when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.
