ah, i mean it is politicians call for new sanctions against russia over the node stream to pipeline accusing moscow of manipulating the natural gas market just days after flooding that boot and pledge to boost supplies to your dozens of people who have reportedly died in an apparent suicide bomb attack on a sheer mosque in northern afghanistan becomes just 5 days after another attack on . so targeted a mosque and the european parliament us is a numb binding resolution that seeks the bank. police use of facial recognition software in public places, emmy piece of held it as a major victory. our guests debated the ship is good news. european

criminals armed churlish. 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. ah, i had a very good evening and thanks for joining me on. our team to nash cools, growing in the united states, to slap new sanctions on russia over the node stream to pipeline this in light of europe's energy crisis. it comes to stays after flood imitating and pledge to ramp up. natural gas applies to europe as prices hit record highs. auntie, so one quarter took michael again, ann o'neil 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 to 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 ice of 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. the 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 frush 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 contract it out. so the question is really, isn't being ordered, the international gas union also crazed russia as the power that can bring energy security to europe. and that the north stream to pipeline would actually play a crucial role in that. so it doesn't exactly seem like the reasoning behind mccaul statement 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 partner is against moscow. let's take a listen to what he said. said your list of 34 in regards to the u. s. 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 and his big nazi full milestone foreign minister karen canal. very good evening tea. karen meetings, little talk of energy crisis in europe. are we talking about a crisis in terms of price? he said it was there. actually a real risk that somebody might go without gasoline gather? yes, it's a more than price hikes. i mean, this is the debate right now. and as we discussed a few nights before, it didn't come out of the glued set manifold issue. and so what experts

discussed a few months ago in a very intense ways, today's, on everybody's mind. the other country like italy, we're, people are now paying. and she feels like twisted the bills which are 40 percent higher than the previous months. so it's quite a nice job, but as to mentioned in your question, it's not only about the price hikes, yes, i am concerned about a possible disruption and a disruption that can be either to, to an over strained electricity. great. because of changes in the electricity supply as such. when at, during the days when there's little sunshine, no wind. so we know the reliability in particular, germany on wind, sun power. so there is a risk in that republican michael mccaul. so renews calls to sanction the notes string to popular. and i thought that this is kind of been put to bed. now,

the sort of discontent in america with no stream to what do you make of this in the current in the light of the current crisis? well, it, it doesn't make sense because as you have stated in your report, you have to be not on the science and just just the real matches, take in, in terms of making gas as much as well as the contracts. allow us to take my personal teaching 2 days ago. you mentioned that in your report . and let us also bear in mind about 7 years ago that could have been more supply to do your market wire pipeline that was never built. then you ouster in south stream was 3, went it from being constructed in the summer, 2014. and so now it seems as if all the ice, all the criticism available is simply directed against them all stream. and it

simply doesn't make sense. chancellor angle america has all the read the rate that contract stuff will fill accusations in our flying that russia is using gas as a weapon. i suppose leveraging it. do you think is any truth to that? no, it doesn't make sense at all because this is it, i would say it's an easy metaphor. that is to be used when we speak of energy weapon, a lot of people, even though those who have been born here, then 73 will always think of all what, for instance, opec era countries tuesday, in the 1970s. we had several instances non supply and non export of oil. this what we can call it in like an energy weapon if you want to use that matter. but in the current context of the many contracts, long term delivery gas,

cuba contracts that exist between the russian federation and various you countries . and beyond that, it simply doesn't make sense to use it. on the other hand, if i just may add up by using this very dangerous notion of energy weapon i'm living in france now. and a few days ago, for one french minister warned against the british in the context of to fishing dispute, that france might use electricity supplied to be kept, for instance, to the island of jersey in the channel. so that is quite a hot topic because we would then see something like one european country using something like an energy weapon against another european country. but we'll see what it is really materializes or whether it's just a very harsher way of

using diplomacy. but i, i would re check the notion of an a to weapon when it comes to lot stream. how do you think this is going to affect relations between the you and rush of the complicated at best fits into the source friction? why do you as such, 1st a fall doesn't have a real common energy policy. we don't even have something like a real common energy agenda. we do have a climate agenda. yes. but when it comes to dig respective national and she makes, it's composed in a very divergent way. you have a very high part of nuclear, for instance, in the country like france, while you're still a half a very high percentage of coal in countries like whole and check republic by the

area. so the energy mix ss, it's very, don't worry every, every one in every of the $27.00 you countries and all the under the current circumstances. let's take a country like hungary, the hanging hungarian, got on that, or sorry, jeez, a very much aware of each momentum of social unrest that at disruption in anna she could bring about so that they have concluded their own bilateral, a deliberate context. for instance, the russian federation and france has put a freeze on old price hikes when it comes to electricity and gas because they are also aware of the social momentum when and she is not available at an affordable price. and so that there is no such thing as a common you approach and there's no such thing as a comment. you handling us the ana,

she at chandler risk regard to the russian federation. karen, pleasure to speak to you, i guess from austin. foreign minister. karen, can i say that he almost like to have a nice evening light? duty. ok, let's moved out to afghanistan. dozens of people have reportedly died in an explosion at a sheer mosque in the country's northern city of candice. you may find these images coming up now. the aftermath, distressing blast occurred during friday. pres, with a pact congregation inside, dozens were reported to have died. many more injured, a suicide bomber was believed to be behind the attack. the taliban. blame the isis cato. risk group. as the same group that carried out the cobble airport blast in august, which ended with scores of people dead. and this latest incident fall is a nother fatal explosion on sunday. this was at another mosque in the country's capital, and it all comes to 2 months since the taliban swept to power,

filling the void left by the u. s. lead withdrawal. local journalist visited the sites of the blast and send us this report. today at 1 pm this afternoon during prayers here at i. e she, i mosque and couldn't, does, had bomb exploded and i witnessed to say at least 100 people were killed. the explosion was so powerful, according to some officials, the new taliban government had warned attacks like this one were possible. earlier taliban security personnel visited this place and they gave the opinion that it might be a suicide blast. after examining some evidence, we've seen such a blast in the past, hitting mosques and killing worshippers as them faith we're targeting, she on the era there were targeting, she are in syria. they were targeting here anywhere in the middle east. so i wouldn't be surprised that this, this is, as i said, you know, this is actually the work of them be because nicholas said that here is there it, is there another good believer over there. so this is, this is the,

it's the fuse. but i mean, the major aim is who these fabulous afghanistan to actually be stabilized that taliban rule in afghanistan. so this isn't the beginning, and i wouldn't be surprised that the more of the big let that slide miss will take place in that fuel we sent them among sir, ahead european lawmakers, a pushing for a barn on facial recognition systems used by police. the parliament is passed a non binding resolution against biometric surveillance, which some and me piece compared to cold war snooping. 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 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 urge sil thirty's to be more transparent by using open source software on the 1st move against successive surveillance in 2000. 19 san francisco was the 1st city in america to enact a complete ban on police, biometric surveillance of the u. s. cities them followed. we discussed the pros and cons of facial recognition with security expert david low. and for me, yes, police officer, dominic is i 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 are missing persons or terrorist activity. but i don't care who says what, it'll 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. as you can put police in this mindset of that everybody is a criminal, is good news. you are in criminals and terrorists and i think a terrorist threat both in europe and north america since, well, how can enough county so if you did look out, i mean i'm talking about dealing with serious organized crime, talk trafficking, i'm not about to dealing with cs trafficking, those talk, defensive 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 give it to have a 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 you k, it was only to said enough since the pounds i just happens and all of them in the united states were, were abuse we just to be with. so if it was,

if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up more than a 100 percent of the oversight was proper on 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 we just, we water it down and we abuse it. it's about giving a day to store and also destroying data with summons and making sure those safeguards in place. and that's why i said, you need judicial scrutiny. what's the 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 street car, 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. bowlens on a collision course with brussels. it's after walsall talk. court ruled that some european union laws clash with the countries constitution. and the timing is making

issue even more acute as poland currently sinking billions of hero in e, you recovery funds, it oliver picks up 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 eventually 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 briggs at room briggs to call to do . it hasn't gone anywhere yet. well, now we're hearing about polk that 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 did try to pull itself out of the legal frameworks of the european union and france deeply unhappy as well. we've heard air 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 to not 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 gates are jointly agreed rules or 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 a situation whereby poland isn't getting tens of billions from the european union in covey recovery money, pollen 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 ours? 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 of the busiest rose in britain was brought to a grinding halt. yet again, in the latest protest by climate act of his group insulate, britain it stay stay number of similar stunts in recent weeks in

a bid to force the government to think more green, but it's causing many motors to see read said he edwards dashti reports. jackie behind me is in see late britain, as you can see, they are located in the road here in central london that project their aim, their mission is environmental action. they want the government to heed that open message that cause he has much disruption as possible trying to back up the roads of central london. what they want is the government to pledge to retrofit and insulate all kinds properly and to make them more energy efficient by 2030. it's something that they're asking. the government to act on immediately is led to the whole into the u. k. is, is walk along the fruit really to the government. it's one of the 1st and easy things should be doing. so we're in a serious different, different situation. so the good we need to act and now we go very high fuel prices decide. maybe we're going to have more than $2400000.00 households and fewer

probably. within a couple of months, i do have more than a and a half 1000 pension is going in our country this winter. i don't know. i totally understand people's anger. i can sit by while pension is a dying that i have enough money. certainly. all the other methods petitions march is appealing letters, n t a and p. i. bill, all of these things, nothing, no action and we are given today. nobody wants to picking the road in district. good people getting on there a way. nobody wants to do that with doing it because it's a fit to attempt to actually do some tickets. total con it already, and they've already just been here for a few minutes. a comes despite the government taking a fresh injunction just last week, burning insulate members from obstructing the roads, obstructing the traffic, particularly on the low to ways and a roads in and around london as well. and people in and around this round about are incredibly angry. you're not letting bosses calls is one thing, busses,

cities only function with public transport. you call block public crowd because i'm a . 8 no, right to be in, i understand what he's doing it. he's going to be late as a bomb, angry. i'm just going to deal with, well, it seems as though insulate personally don't have the public on side. they also don't have the politicians outside either forest johnson just a few days ago at labeled these protesters as irresponsible and impossible cross. these are the tensions right here are quite high. and d, there's a huge please your presence. they haven't yet arrested anybody, but that's only a matter of time until they change their minds. ah, with

what we've been here for around an hour or so, and there's been at least a dozen arrests, but they're still around a dozen protests is that have literally glued themselves to the rose. i've spoken to a few people that have now being arrested. one woman who was arrested 9 times, so she's prepared to go to prison for this cause. and so she's doing this simply for a better world in the future. i've already been arrested for and i'll keep doing it . i that the government a related. how is it as it should be very simple as a start date, just to use the money to go into aging houses? welcome carrying on with building a company that killing the economy that can grow, it's about time they started being on it. so under these new measures, these protesters could be child up to 6 months and receive hefty fines as well,

which campaign a says, a complete denial of their rights to peacefully protest. and as annoying as this group may be, would anybody be talking about them if they want? so this prove at least say, is that the government and the government, it's not this whole in a moment. it, of course, may concede, actually, that mas turkey has joined algeria. in lashing out the french president after emanuel micron suggested, there was no algerian nation before french colonial rule anchor, branded microns words of populist moved, had next year's presidential election in france took in algeria are now part of an expanding list of nations currently at loggerheads with paris a charlotte duban sky explains france isn't having the easiest of times. it seems to be paddling on multiple fronts internationally. and was that it's waging offer some foibles take. i'll g uria francis form

a colony. it's resisting president mack ones attempt to draw the line and it has an ax to grind that didn't codes are 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 even questioned. what is how interior was there an algerian ation before french colonization? that's the question. i'll jury a post 900. 62 is built on a memorial rent that declares france is the whole problem. hugh, a recall done baset debt, while algeria also plays it as space, see the french military notes. colonial presses are not to welcome the country. essentially said this in the leisure which pushes the 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 france in africa. marley has a summons. the french ambassador for the nations, it's the rear. as fraud, seeks to withdraw its troops. he can still think that he can hold the fort by a, by rattling but if you will need the left hand to button. the situation arising from the end of operation back on puts molly in a fe accompli abundance of those mid flight to assist next. and the forces takes full sentences and means the best to ensure a security, honestly or with other partners. and then there is this whole mike seek to pastor face

there was no why that we could have taken this decision without it having and causing 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 fuckin. he is alone for the jolly, the french. what's the recent 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 net of his very own waterloo fluency, so incense over the u. k is 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 macintosh 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 hurtles closer, many at suggesting the only person who blow a hole in makins hopes is well himself trans has lost his position for some time already. i would say, since the end of a president transit lost its position on the local stage of france, has decided to follow the steps of the united states and nato. and we see the catastrophe of that in an afghan. and i rack in extra savio,

we see that france is totally lost. it macro is just living on the doors that france just to have. and now is 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, to the public. that france is no longer the power. it used to think it was. i cannot sit for this hour. don't forget more stories of it on a website and you can check them out simply by heading to auto dot com. oh, i see on the internet the allows olu falls and much was to invite everybody's lloyd. that wasn't a glitch. that was the feature that the people who designed the internet is always got in as a feature. ah,

but years ago the taliban were different today or more violent than ever before. 20 years ago. the really kind of the stick was central press for so park place to they did not have non principal at all except that deal with principal can, has their own interest. but years ago, there was some sort of kind of dialogue with the others to see what they can do today. they are so kind of restrict your limits. if you check your chicken, one cabinet from one interesting fall question and from in, from inside my studio, just completely concentrated on what's called a lot of fun. if you look at this panel, you can see a lot of the.
