ah, ah us politicians coughing you sanctions against russia over the north stream to pipeline accusing mosca of manipulating the natural gas market. just days up to have let him oppose him, flesh to bruce supplies to europe. thousands of people have reported that killed at parents so signed for next night on a shambles in northern afghanistan. and that comes just 5 days after another time that also targeted emo's. and the european parliament pulse is a non binding resolution seeking to bond to me. he's a facial recognition software and public places with an appeal handling it as a major victory. our guest debase with,

which is good news. you're in criminals and terrorists, it will be abuse like crazy. there's a great sonia law enforcement that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. ah, they said been use an aussie international with me. you national problem. hello and welcome to the ground cools, growing in the u. s. to slap new sanctions on russia over they know stream to pipeline in light of europe's energy crisis is comes just days after lifting the patient's pleasure to ramp up natural gas supplies to europe as price as hit record highs. ninety's donald caught, i took my colleague unit o'neill 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 eye to the putin regimes, deliberate efforts to pressure europe into accelerating the russian nodes stream to pipeline certification process by manipulating europe's gas markets and leveraging a severe energy crisis on the continent. and mccall says anglo merkel is turning a blind eye to some apparent malign, influenced by russia, but anglo merkel herself has said that russia fulfils 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 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 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 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 like 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 pit russia, european partner is against moscow. let's take a listen to what he said. said your list of 30 pm ago. still, the us openly say that cooperation with russia is contrary to europe's energy security interests that want to directly embroil is 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 prompt 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 a pumping gas to the north stream to pipeline, this would save the company, billions of dollars. and a former austrian foreign minister, current, nice all things that accusations of using natural resources as political tools. i outdated, given the deep integration of today's global economy. and we speak of anna to weapon a lot of people, even though those who have been a born here, then 73 will always think of all what for instance opechi arab countries tuesday in the 9th and seventies. we had several instances, non supply and non export of oil. this what we can call it in like an,

an a to weapon if you want to use that matter. but in the current context of the many contracts lumped them delivery gas keyboard contracts that exist between the russian federation and various yukon per cent. beyond that, it simply doesn't make sense to use it. on the other hand, if i just may, adds up by using this very dangerous notion of anna to weapon i'm living in france now. and 2 days ago for one french minister warned against the british into context of to fishing dispute. that france my to use electricity supplied to be cut for instance, to the island of jersey in the, in the channel. so that is quite a hot topic because we would dance, use something like one european country using something like an energy weapon against another european country. but it simply doesn't make sense. i,

i would reject the notion of an actual weapon when it comes to lot stream and not have ghana sandwich. dozens of people have reportedly been killed in an explosion at a share mosque in the countries noticed that you couldn't do just a warning. you may find a falling image is disturbing. so the blast happen during friday, pres, with a pact congregation and signed. dozens. i reported to have been killed and injured . a suicide bomber was said to be behind that heart. they turned upon blaine the ice, his k towers group, which carried out a cobble apple glance in august, which saw scores of people dead. this latest incident follows a deadly explosion on sunday, at another mosque in the country's capital. and it all comes just 2 months since the tal about swept back to power, filling the void left by the us lad. withdrawal and local journalist visited the site of the blast and sent us this report. today at 1 pm this afternoon during

prayers here at i. e. she eyed mosque and couldn't duz. at bomb exploded and i witnessed the said 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. some states were targeting here on the era. there were targeting chia in syria, there were targeting chia everywhere in the middle east. so i wouldn't be surprised that this. this is the, as i said, you know, this is actually the work of them exceed because they're concerned that here is that, 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 beat the belief that taliban rule and of denison. so this is mrs. the beginning,

and i wouldn't be surprised that me more of the big li at that slide. this will take place in that fuel we among sir, ahead european lawmakers are pushing for a bond on facial recognition system used by police. the e u parliament has passed and known binding resolution against to biometric surveillance, which some and a 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. so the resolution calls for a bond on funding or deploying programs that could result and indiscriminate must surveillance. the document also emphasizes the importance of human supervision and any final decision making and edges authorities to be more transparent by using open source software. and it's not the 1st move against excessive surveillance in

2019 san francisco became the fast data in the u. s. to an act, a complete ban on police, biometric surveillance on the american cities, then followed that lead. and we'll discuss the pros and causal facial recognition with terrorism and security expert david la. and for were us police officer, dominic isa. there's a great saying and law enforcement, that's why 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 is

a criminal. good news. we are being criminals and terrorists, a terrorist threat both in europe. i know north america since we'll have enough county. so if you did look out, i mean, i'm talking about dealing with serious organized trauma trafficking. i'm not so much of dealing with cs trafficking, those type of fences 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 like the national con, you know, the agency, those things you wouldn't give it to the police force. it was like when we were in the european union, shang, and information system which was a database that wasn't available. so the police force in the u. k, it was only to certain offices and the pounds i just happened in 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, work and a 100 percent,

if it oversight was proper on it. and 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 who has access to a day to store and also destroying data with comments on it's 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 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 last 6 months and charge you for a crime that you committed 34 months ago. poland isn't a collision course with brussels, is how to also talk court room that some european union laws clash with the countries consultation. and the timing is making the sure even more heat as pauline's currently seeking billions of year or any you recovery funds piece.

oliver picks on the story. there are shots fired in that confrontation between warsaw and brussels and the constitutional tribunal. poland top court is basically said that the polish constitution has precedence over a 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. materia mode of italy 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 tried 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 or 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, our money can't finance governments which mark and the gate 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 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 covey recovery money, pollen 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 rapprochement 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 and fellow, and they handle instead for advanced as a parlor. bernardine believes if brussels and also don't start talking, poland could follow the u. k. out on the east exit doors. constitution, other single states always supersedes that the european laws because europe was un,

unable to give or to solve the constitution over 50 years. we owe the mass respect to the state constitution, so and also the european union should find their way. but i would say, 1st of all, on the illegal term by dialogue by setting up committees of legal experts on the iraqi or source. if it is a does not happen, i will say, i'm afraid we should to think about a polish for a friend among the same way. and that the, the for, and the was that was done in the britain in january of this year. because otherwise we are just in a deadlock, we are, we are just unable to move for wars and the crisis to go to my understanding the only increase over the next months because we have seen so many quizes now. but

anyway, and so many intentions between the european union and the poland over the last year one of the business where i was in britain was brought to a grinding halt yet again to day in the lace project by climate activist group in c . let britain it staged a number of similar stance over the past couple of weeks and had been to force the government to think more green, but it's causing many motorists to see red and shadow at west ashley 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 route really to the government. it's one of the 1st and easy things should be doing. so we're in a serious, desperate, desperate situation. so the good we need to act and now we got very high fuel prices. so 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, but i thought you understand people's anger, i can sit by while pension is a dying that i have enough money to tell me all the other methods petitions. march is appealing letters to n p. i look to mostly bill. all of these things, nothing, no action, and we are given today. nobody wants to picking the road and disrupt 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 something. it's total con it already and

a very just been here for a few minutes. it comes despite the government taking a fresh injunction just last week. banning, 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 cause is wanting buses. cities only function with public transport, you call block public crowd because i'm a. 8 no, right, i understand what he's doing it, he's going to be late. you know, i was out as a bomb or angry. i'm just going to deal with. well, it seems as though insulate personally, don't have the public on slide. they also don't have the politicians on side either boris johnson just a few days ago, 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, in 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 been arrested one woman who was arrested 9 times, so she's prepared to go to prison for this course. 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 till i that the government start taking notice and insulated houses as it should be

very simple as a start date. just to use the money to go into making houses, walk on, pairing on with building projects online to build, re accommodate that kidding, the economy that you know, it's about time they started being long. so under these new measures, these protesters could be child up to 6 months and receive a hefty fines as well, which campaign as a, as a complete denial of their right to peacefully protest. and as annoying as this group may be, would anybody be talking about them if they want so disruptive? this group at least say it's up to the government and the government to stop this whole in a moment. it of course, may conceive to that demons jackie has joined algeria in lashing out the french president. after emmanuel mccomb suggested there was no algerian nation before french colonial rule on co, branded macros was a populace move ahead of next year's presidential election. france, take

a and old jury on our part of an expanding list of nationals currently at loggerheads with paris. as charlotte, davinsky reports, france isn't having the easiest of times it seems to be handling 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 should re written history based on lies when questioned what is held uria 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, a recall done baset debt, while algeria also plays it as space 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 front, seeks to withdraw its troops. he can still think that he can hold the fort by saber rattling. but if you go near the left hand to button,

the situation arising from the end of operation back on puts molly in a fe accompli bundling those mid flight to assist. thank and it forces us take school alternatives and means to better ensure security ominously 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 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 nets. of is very own waterloo, francis, so incense over the u. k. 's refusal to let explanation tool that catch in british waters. it's even threatening to cut the countries 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 mackinac 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 her shoulder go as president transit is lost, his position on the little stage of france has decided to follow the steps to the united states and nato. and we've seen the catastrophe of that in afghanistan and iraq in extreme savio. i. we seen that france is totally lost. it macro is just living on the laurels at france. just to have and i was 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 wishes exposing this to the, to the, to the public. that france is no longer the power, it used to think it was an alliance within an alliance for the 1st time since the very creation of nature, 2 of its members have signed their own defense part. the greek parliament yesterday ratified a deal with france for the 1st time and explicit an unequivocal military assistance

calls is provided in the case of a 3rd party attack on one of the 2 states. we all know who's threatening whom were the cause for war. in the eastern mediterranean side, they exist in nato obligations of grace and france. already make them military allies in the were in the event of an attack originating from outside the block, but with grease anti k. currently at loggerheads of the territory in the eastern mediterranean, athens has sought additional support. but speaking earlier this week, nate his chief outline his opposition to such deals. what i don't believe in his efforts to try to do something outside the native framework or compete with or duplicate nato because nato remains the cornerstone the bedrock for european security. and also actually for north american security. while the new pox is the fast between member states, it's not the only defense deal involving nato members assigned of late on the

a few weeks ago, the u. k. and us hopped into bed with australia and a deal that we'll see nuclear power, it's submarines patrolling the into pacific region and the rates are sent to vice. president rasmussen told me earlier that we could see more in training to the defense parks in the future. we've got issues within the nato allies to say that it's, it's not an important alliance. it it, but i think i think europe needs to look out for themselves and they should realize that other allies don't necessarily look out after the interests of european a snake to no longer say to papa is to increase on france, not trust or fail. they can rely on their allies alliance between the u. k. u. s. ross, or state place, which basically went against alliances. basically put a put a dagger in the trust. there were a lack of a major partner in the nato side. it is the key part of that day is saying we will

see more defense punks between nato members than i do. i think we're pending how this goes. i do see that we will see additional packed internally within the nato alliance between r as in use and assigned to nationalists allen, join us for more and around 30 minutes coming up next, it's a documentary ah with

i'm a new machine on the internet that allows olu trolls and much was about to invite everybody's lloyd. it's not wasn't good. that was a feature that the people who does owns the internet is all in a feature. ah, but years ago did taliban were different today or more violent than ever before? 20 years ago, the really kind of to stick with central press for so i spoke to they did not have

non principle at all except that they are using this principle 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, you're limited to be checked on your chicken gun cabinet from one interesting call question. and from, from inside question. don't just completely concentrated on west gulf with e l e that they said that it would be okay with your their sit with your dog with your dad.
