ah ah ah, this hour is headline stories, relatives of at the u. k. cobit victims, voice their anger out the government south for a parliamentary inquiry, binds brave mistakes made to thousands of preventable death. we've got a stall letting these born to rule astray out virus who people run things they don't understand why isn't that we allow them i minister with absolutely no common sense to run a serious and then it the german city of cologne gives the green lights are

broadcasting the most little call to prayer, a move, which has very much confided opinion, i think this very crates is wrong. i think religion is something personal. it's nice for multiculturalism. i don't think it's bad, but i don't think it's all that great either. and american taxpayers are still paying for the infamous border wall project, despite job biden's pledge to stop it at the u. s. incurred cost for storing millions of dollars worth thrusting and, ah, just out there to in the afternoon here in moscow this wednesday, october, the 13th. let's get straight to mid week top storm. a dumbing parliamentary inquiry claims, the u. k. government gravely mishandled its initial response to the cobit pandemic,

saying thousands of debts could have been prevented. a senior official has repeatedly avoided every opportunity to apologize as those who lost their loved ones, contin to seek answers on disgrace. they didn't listen and also they didn't think about the lives they thought about the money they for about the business contracts, and they didn't close. the board is simply just letting people die, 100000 people today and on. it's called corona virus lessons learned today. and it finds that number 10, delaying the locked down back in march of the 23rd and 2020 was one of the most important public failures in the history of the united kingdom was still the government's handling of the pandemic actually led to 20000 unnecessary deaths, but a capital minister unfortunately, was unable to refuse even try and apologize for those claims. came to start when apologies i would have thought, well, no,

we followed the scientific advice we. we followed the scientific advice. we protected the n h s. we took the decisions based on the evidence before, but of course we've always had with something so unprecedented as the pandemic there will be lessons to learn. so it's still a very gracious look there from stephen box in a cabinet office minister who actually ends up very into the refuse to apologize some 11 times. but looking deeper into this reporting question, it's quite hefty. it's a 150 pages long and almost a year ago to date was when it was 1st established. when this inquiry really began . now they looked at many key areas, including the preparedness for pandemic, social distance thing. social can impact on sets and communities plus of course the vaccines as well. well, it's an incredibly traumatic and triggering day for many, for instance, my best friend who lost her mother during the pandemic to cove it and she's

incredibly furious. the government for its handling of the pandemic was she certainly not to learn this thousands of brute families up and down the country who are finding this report a very difficult read indeed. so i lost my grandfather and his best friend of a few years when the next day my family have had our fash have changed from it. but this, this isn't a personal and you know, some kind of emotional trauma. however, the government want to go around. you know, treating them in the future. i think this is a big society wake up. we've got to stop letting these on to rule astray. private people run things. they don't understand. why is it that we allow prime minister, we've actually no common sense to run serious then it absolutely everything is down to them. and when you look at the very beginning,

this from them as well. i've talked about the community. now we're not where the bees on the plane, it's not right to let the sick and the old fall behind it. but the kind of the government entered with we cannot be surprised at so many of die. it just stands to reason that this is exactly what they expected and they really don't. now, a whole barrage of a criticisms really came out in this report, noting very quite big concerns, including access to p. p, the government much held track and tre, system, which fundamentally was flawed. also suggesting at the start of the pandemic bar, as johnson said that the care homes would not be affected. now, we know, in hindsight, they were actually the was effected. but the key is finding really days back to some 20 months ago, that key date of march, the 23rd, when the united kingdom entered it 1st locked down. well, this report says,

scientists were talking some 2 months prior to that about how ready the u. k. was in terms of dealing with upon demik of this scale, and actually all keys to the government acted far too slow. it is now clear that this is the wrong policy and that it led to a higher initial death told them would have resulted from the more in fasick early policy. in a pandemic spreading rapidly, an exponentially every week counted. while boris johnson, the prime minister and his government have always maintained throughout this pandemic, the policy is guided by the day to the science and always maintains that it just simply put policy into place by the evidence that was presented to it. also says, is sticking by its promise off, allowing a public inquiry into the pandemic. i'm the government handling of it as well, but that won't come until at least next spring. just to say that this is a very report, it's aim is not to point the thing, those of blame, that is

a quote within this report. but some already say there is only one direction of blame to point the finger and that is squarely at the government. so i've been saying the last. 1 couple of years with my group members, government. absolutely terrible job. and this is what happens when you have leaders in charge of nursing society. they don't know what they're doing. they didn't follow the science, they didn't listen to the experts and they didn't listen to other countries. that warner, someone like chorus johnson time example of what is wrong in british politics. and i just feel if nobody stands up point out that this is dennis side. it's just something that someone has to stand up and say, because like i say in our culture, so many people will just take it on the chin. not i think that taking on the chin is not something that this, you know, unprecedented situation. deserves the muslim cold to prayer will be heard

across cologne, in germany after local authorities gave their approval for it to be broadcast over lloyd speakers on friday afternoons. city officials say the move is a gesture of respect, but many nor stressing such a move as adults with european culture anoine's cologne, the central moscow's been a flash point for antique muslim sentiment before. but the mirror has defended the decision. di cologne is the seat of religious freedom and diversity. those who arrive at the main train station a greeted by the cathedral, and accompanied by church bells. many cloned residents are most limps, allowing them, whereas in call is from a sign of respect. all 35 mosques in western cologne will be able to play the call for up to 5 minutes. the initiative comes as part of an agreement between cologne officials and the muslim community mosques seeking to broadcast. it will have to comply with limits on the volume and also notify the

percentage of your some reaction. we got to the decision to make sense. i think that's great because the muslim community is also included. this is also very nice for the muslims, just as the choices ring about the most can also make the call to prayer. i think that's very great. all fallen thus is so old. it's nice for multiculturalism. germany says we are here. we also take care of muslims, which unfortunately some political parties don't do any more. it makes me happy when i hear it. it's a piece of home that's less finished, the slim. i don't think it's bad, but i don't think it's all that great either. i live directly opposite, so i hear it all the time. the fact that you now have to listen to what is being said, whether you want to hear it or not, i don't think it's the best thing. oh, well that's if it is false. i think it's wrong, i think religion is something personal. you don't have to bar all the people around with it. when they call out in foreign language,

i think that's really bad because then the people don't know what they're actually saying. some of the views we heard in the city. we also put the issue up for debate on the program with some guest sphere office. not only in cologne is not only in germany, it is everywhere, unfortunately, in the name of their hijacking, their base hijacking their religion for some and misusing it for their own car. so this leads basically to, to lack of trust. he's lamb is not the majority in germany, this depending on which city last that still 90 percent of non muslim muslims are part of this country in this society. so as other religious groups are represented in germany, the same way more than should also be able to be referred represent cologne, may miss andrea, who just are beat, who just delivered in a city who's asked boat in front of his land,

bowed down and welcome this demand introduce what phase amanda's without asking. people make a loan officer doing anything. it's nothing new away because it's basically what the constitution, se, se i think. and if the relationship to the muslim community in cologne in the last place is good. and then harmony can be there, you know, allow a bab has a certain history does not just allow is greater, but it became and be because of the g hat. so it has a very negative history. this cause and the history of violence. you see the call of parents, not something like some magical saying or some magic. you know, we don't need it anymore. you muslims have watches now amended call of the worst thing comes from the 7th century. then people didn't have to watch it. basically, a tradition in islam where you praise the lord, praise a law, praise god,

and you basically call people to the prayer. despite job biden's promise not to waste a single set of american taxpayers money on donald trump's anti migrant fence project, it's been discovered that $100000000.00 worth of steel has been left to right on the us mexican border. kill him up and takes up the story. now let's be clear, the money has already been spent. the american taxpayers already purchased these the old columns on order from donald trump. but now biden is president and taxpayer money does continue to be spent, but not on building a wall that we're paying contractors for a while. was almost 5000000 a day between d o d and d h s to not to not build the border wall there, stacks and stacks of border wall panels. there has been a lot of talk about the cost of building donald trump wall along the border. but it

turns out that the cost of not building the wall is also rather pricey. the cost of dividing administration's efforts to suspend or terminate donald trump's trademark construction project had been tallied up to roughly $1.00 to $2000000000.00. the last contract was ripped up last week. now remember when biden promised that he wouldn't waste any more money on trump's wall, which will be the policy of my administration that no more american taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct the board a wall. and that i am directing a careful reviewable resources appropriated all redirected to that. and well, biden's rhetoric doesn't account for the cost of letting all kinds of building materials go to waste. texans are not particularly thrilled with biden's decision, especially since problems along the border and only intensified. i think the money should be finished building the wall and the materials needed to be done on

a long time ago. it's not their money. it's our money. the tax payer's money. we bought it. i figure that to go ahead and utilize material, go to their finish, the bought a wall, stop at low, legal and the bringing that we need us to buy the minutes in. it's laura all the way. so monique, here, i used to live on the border of mexico and macallan for 8 years, and i know that it's like and what they should do is finish the job of the border is about to be breached. so while americans are stuck with the bill for riding steel, the countries ongoing financial woes and rising national debt are only getting worse, meaning there's plenty of places this money could have been better spent left wing

radical democrats don't understand the phrase, waste of money to them money is infinite, it comes from nowhere, it grows on trees and they take and spend as much as they want, as long as it gives them power and control. the wall is more necessary than ever if you care about legitimate versus illegitimate emigration. if you're not trying to patch the united states of america full of illegal immigrants with no love for the country, no understanding of the founding of the constitution of the way politics works here . and the plan is to fill up the country with them and then complain that it's racist not to give them citizenship. and so the right wing will fold politically and give it to them in the next thing. you know, all these millions of immigrants will suddenly be voting at which point. democrats will win every national election. quarter of an hour in the program still ahead. moscow launch is free. coven testing across the city in response to soaring numbers

of the lead cases are correspondent, is among those getting check. that's up shortly. ah, oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation or community? are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend her join us in the depths

or remain in the shallows. ah ah ah. oh hello again. under the shadow of a european power supply crisis russian energy weeks underway. it's one of the biggest annual forums of its kind to a place where various industries can throw shot hot button issues like international cooperation. very much a topic to sure. and they have a trend co is covering the event for us. well,

it is definitely the crucial time for the energy sector and this kind of event, or perhaps the timing 10. i'll be better because winter is coming in the cold season is just around the corner and we are hot on the heels of something, but some have a true energy prices in europe. we are beginning with an expert who can share a lot of thoughts on winter up because loving more potent is actually just about to speak out to energy form right here in moscow. let's listen who's the obese of 3 yet? right here to the fall experts and turn the book head of companies to lee and you discuss given lobby concentration and perspective in the global energy industry, they believe and to propose mechanisms to stabilize the energy market, which is really important in their focus. today's situation,

our moderator just talked about it as you dealer. missy decreases and the j with one has suffered from this a corner virus. them including the figuring you chile, the media. all these restrictions for he has impeded business media, interfered with transportation in the world, and so them demand for energy with dropped a flyer that wouldn't which rational people in the audience electric company really noticeable because these affected your companies like yours that you did it in there, but since it was tele, come consumption on for energy and dropped by 4.7 percent. it was a great shock for the industry, the but it was the largest over the 70 years. it seeing that this also affected the prices to him was 3 road in the magazine. even the coast of natural gas was dropped to light by 2 and

a half about the times enough since 2018 with a symbol, as in the 18. it was a $130.00 and it went to 19, it was a $159.00. and in 2020, it was a $282.00 store and worth pneumonia with nobody that could have believed this was lower than the in the last year. at least the annotated price for oil that she was negative. but it was more expensive to storm oil than to buy it with, you know, incredible. the girl is like that to go on. the system was ation of an oil market to run a insurance by the union corporation of opec countries, which managed to provide efficient communication version of that to fluid and to

create conditions for investment as the market will actually. because there are in case of stopping investment in you years in the field, the market would have faced critical deficiency in the nearest future. is that when we see with we see some of these today, globally, economically today, the noble economy restore social and to really well demand is getting back. and so the price is getting established loot that which will give us that we increase the production of oil with russia is an active participant of the loss with what we expect this agreement to work until the 2023 with michelle, our corporation a has the opportunities for the near future development in, you know, the collection that it can include the new, clean an,

a 4 carbon processing with north and reducing the carbon with america. but if you are in the market, a gas markets in europe, visitation is unpredictable. and the main reason breezeway is because not everything is up to the producer. so with the consumers play a really important role here with here are a few with because that's the main points might be obvious here in the liter recently. and people in charge don't remember justly cautions. i'm just gimme a little by just say thing empty political with the over the last decade or the ring with of renewable increase in europe.

and this might be a good thing. and then, you know, it became an important part. you got this local and that's good for europe. allow me to do it. there was a trademark of this is, is inconsistent production of the city you need, but we need to great reserve slope unless you find that because we have shortages because of weather, for example, what the reserves in lieu of the nation. and this is what happened with this year in the, when the cause of the shortage in the windmill production, the market, the face cuz it the fit of energy which spiked the prices that fit your all. and these triggered them the increasing prices and

gas production depends on the season with note in summer, the reserves feelings for the winter. but even after cold winter, europe, many countries of the stuff that we rely on supplies on the visible from market share here and to based on the stimulated the increase in price and i got the gas prices and the result of managed the fish and not vice versa, there we go. so you shouldn't blame though you're once it is not to blame and i guess what's our partner's trying to do it until you can hear what

others say both at the end you just wonder because it's like people don't see the numbers. see the reality just covering their mistakes in that like the over the last decade the, even the european energy system was filled with vulnerability. and these costs crisis on the market. the way it is, is when the leading power, where nuclear and gas, there were no such shortages and in russia slow. but when you are today, fortunately, we can't even imagine problems like this in russia. we'll get suppression if i look at the took up as well as approaching them. feel, and gas industry allows us to provide the lowest cost of energy and average a price of electricity is around $20.00 euros per megawatt hour

given you in other countries. it's going to do a tiny bigger but with the russian c. r regulators, your electric and the countries nick on the face form, you know, put new housing using increasing almost every month. and i want to bother you with redundant gas market. it's pretty cool. it's a great medical twenties like the big which is the big prices like the producers to get really big benefits profits when you merge without really but if there's any efforts video you will get through it and they don't take into account long term move. it is when they get

caught up and for the users associated with the increase of prices for energy, and then they will is really bad for housing. 30000000 labels reduction reduction. so high prices negative for the industry, including producers, russian energy producers understand this low bill wouldn't go as now. they'd be given every market value stability and predictability. russia fulfills our contract requirement for partners in europe after we have an interrupt supply to europe. we do, quarterly billing. we're getting records that numbers future nation in

and we're ready to discuss more action with, with our partners that will increase the energy security of the whole being constantly playing together with european companies, our partners and friends. we implement big infrastructure projects tucker stream to non streams. what the future was. they will ensure the stability of supply volume needs and implementation of these projects for the reduction of greenhouse effect with natalie. and to put this into perspective payroll by moving carbon content around russian supplies,

jim is 3 times lower than american supplies to just credit the go button. and so we need to agree on the global balance mechanism for the month of the launch the dialogue producers and consumers of and the j without it was the come up with a couple of issues are really important. and business of households depends on solving this issues in russia and abroad, including your partner countries. i'm working and i can facilitate some solutions that will be beneficial to us. all parties are you going to collect one of the main factors that is important for developing the and the gym client. russia understand,

understand that this is really important issues and see and with feel the risks for the humanity, for the planets and for our country as well. the way it is in our country and leverage temperature increases faster than the global temperature. and over the after the k to increase to him by how for degree this rate is even yet in russia agreements and william fisher copeland, the you see you, but the news that plan to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and to go with this just what we're going.
