she seeks, i'm scared, the more children are going to grow up in the country. look, think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other fellow friends in daycare ah headlining this, our president, putin says, europe's own miscalculations resulted in its current energy crisis. confronting head on the narrative, the rushes weaponized saying, or intentionally, withholding gas federal judges. america is the 2nd largest deadline to hold off on its mandatory cobit vaccine order of the legal action from some of its of 67000 workers. also this, our several people are injured as clashes erupted and served majority areas of kosovo with fear that the violence may grow into a wider regional conflict. ah,

a good happy with his life from moscow. this is alta internationals, world news at 10 o'clock we'll get on to our headline stories in a moment. at 1st, some troubling news coming to us from norway that several people have been killed. a number of others have been injured in an attack in the town of cones berg which is to the west of all. slo reports say that a man shot people with a bow and arrow. and as we understand, a suspect has been detained. a cause norway is a very low cry, merrier suddenly in terms of killings and murders. but this is certainly a tragic development for the people of norway when we get more information on this . we will of course, update you later in the program. next though, our speaking at the russian energy week, international forum president putin as waiting on the gas price hike in europe, and feel the tough questions, dispelling what he called false narratives of moscow strategy on the global energy

market. because this is your logo as far as north stream to is concerned. what opponents of the project have claimed that this is not a commercially viable product, and russia is pursuing geopolitical motivations week. well, you know, this is yet another believe, nonsense. he says, when it just leaves pay closer attention to what i'm saying on this route is 2000 kilometer shorter and quicker to our main consumers in europe. that and via you crank these, he 2000 kilometers more efficient. it's cheaper because transit is cheaper to do, and it's also cheaper for consulate, a virtue, because the transit fee has to be included in the and the price in particular for european customers. we are doing this isn't white our political differences. this year we have increased supply by 10 percent again that we would very much like them to be grateful. instead of only criticizing us from orange notes, to ha per tankers, ominous russian energy weakens across all the days. major statements for us. first, a quick look into the context of latimer pollutants. latest remarks during the

russian energy week. the global post coven power demand has been on the up. and that led to major changes in the supply chains to major disturbances and even shortages. now the, the prices for natural gas futures in europe have absolutely skyrocketed. they went down a bit. but in the meantime, russia was being accused of politicizing the matter. and for years this country has been under fire for its infrastructure projects in the field, like the nord stream to however, this crisis led to reassessment i. this is while the russian leader has been talking about for a while. and he also brought up what he called mistakes in the european energy policies that lead to the crisis. austin nuggets view of higher prices on gas in europe are a consequence of a deficit of energy and not vice versa. and that's why you should not shift the blame from over the last 10 years. the list to maddox laws were introduced into the

european energy system. and they lead to a massive energy crisis. he'll need ready, market stability and predictability are important. and russia flawlessly fulfills its contractual obligations to our parts, including our partners in europe, that we, in short guaranteed uninterrupted gas deliveries to year out that we have every reason to believe that this year we will reach record levels of gas deliveries on the global market. and due to when, when prices are volatile, when they're going through the roof, what can help with that extra supplies? president putin said that there was not a single occasion when russia's energy joined gas prom refused a request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and when mr. brewton was asked a straightforward question whether moscow has ever used the energy sector as a political weapon? his answer was straightforward. no, i want to ask you about it directly. has russia been using energy as a weapon?

russia is not using any weapon. if you've been paying attention as for the economy where we're using, what luis you and what can we say was, are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call analytically motivating him. so if there were nothing to support him when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of wagner at the end of the day, i guess the question is, how can you expect europe to believe you're a reliable energy partner when you're not supplying that energy via the pipeline, but i see was if you're a beautiful woman, good. i'm saying one thing to you and you're saying a different thing to me as if you haven't heard what i said, mister president with what was the same point with it? and you said that you were not supplying gas through pipelines to europe, but actually you are mistaken. you are mistaken. and all of those who feed on the information they received, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe. the gas price increases supplies by 10 percent. julian and overall russia increase them by 15 percent dc. we have increased gas supply from lifeline by 10 percent increase and l n g supply by 13

percent. well, we are increasing but i will not be decreasing. our gas supply to europe is again, the number one ingredient in mr. perkins recipe for the volatility in prices. not to come back any time soon. that is a long term contracts when gas prices aren't fixed, but they depend on the current market situation and the oil prices. by the way, what's a major cause for concern for some very important european politicians? is the transit of russian natural gas through ukraine beyond 2024. well, lot of putin sent that russia is ready to keep that in place, as long as it knows how much gas europe is willing to buy in the future. i. e, he wants these a long term contract. again. what russia ones is stability and predictability. the united states, 2nd biggest airlines attempts to fool sol,

staff to vaccinate against coven. is it turbulence in texas? where united airlines stuff have convinced a judge to suspend putting people on leave if they don't get jobs. more on this next, from ortiz kellum open. i kind of what's the complaint in the, how much affects it having while a judge in texas has put a stop temporarily to the policy of united airlines that would have put their unvaccinated employees on, on, paid leave. now this gives the judge time to rule the hearings begin on wednesday, and the policy is on hold until october 26 that will give the judge the just the time to reach his decision. now at this point, the lawsuit was brought because 6 employees of the united airlines said that the vaccine mandate was a violation of their rights and filed in court. this is

a class action brought to remedy united patton of discrimination against employees who requested religious or medical accommodations from united mandate that its employees received the cove at 19 vaccine. now other airlines have had similar policies are requiring employees to be vaccinated by december, american airlines and southwest airlines. and after southwest airlines filed in court about possibly, you know, trying to get these restrictions. oh, returned argument. they're not in consistent with us labor laws are there were thousands of flights that were cancelled around the country, causing a little bit of panic at the airports. now after that, the union made clear it was not their decision. this was not a strike or anything like that. ah, this, it was not them who cancel these flight. it was southwest airlines themselves. and southwest airlines said it was bad weather that had caused these unplanned flight cancellations. we experienced weather challenges in our florida airports at the

beginning of the weekend challenges that were compounded by unexpected air traffic control issues in the same region, triggering delays and prompting significant cancellations. now another workplace that is apparently been affected by this is the white house. however, the white house denies rumors that some staff were not coming to work in protest of the vaccine mandate. this is what the white house spokesperson said when confronted with these rumors, implementing these mandates, great certainty. it reduces the number of people who are out of work sick and worse, and that is good ultimately for businesses, it's good for the economy. i know there was a little hubbub over the course of the last few days about southwest airlines. we now know that some of those claims were absolutely false and actually the issues were up completely unrelated to vaccine mandates. now boeing, which is a major aerospace corporation in the united states,

has moved to comply with biden's orders regarding federally contracted corporations and their vaccination policies. however, there's been quite a bit of resistance throughout the united states, texas has gone as far as banning vaccine requirements. ok, so at this point, these vaccine mandates we're seeing from the biden administration and for major companies, airlines, et cetera, are causing quite a bit of division in the country. americans don't see eye to eye on this question and they've all got different rules as well, depending on where you're traveling, the pile a paper with co codes, et cetera, or i can, i'm open to new york. thank you. thanks, new report suggests the jo biden's, key demographic group. so also now turning away in large numbers from the president in the wake of a raft of unpopular policies. the president ratings had already sunk more than 10 percentage points between july and september with a particular worry now the decline and backing among key democratic party

constituencies including women, the young and people of color. that speaking specifically about black people, you know, the day that it was determined that he indeed did when the presidency and he came out to speak to his supporters in delaware. it was a big, it was big hoopla there, a fireworks on president biden. a then a president elect biden, looked into the camera and said to the world, black people have always had my back and i will always have yours. i don't think black people are feeling right now, but biden's team on the president himself of play down the importance of the polls and blame that sliding support on the pandemic. well, look, i would say that this is a really tough time in our country. we're still battling cove it and a lot of people thought we'd be through it again on this include, why should i this is a process. it's going to be up and down. that's why i don't look at the polls. not a joke. while anthony wrote it for, i believe,

said the real problem is biden's failure to tackle the key issues in america. we have seen a disproportionate amount of cobra deaths attributed to black people, an assault on voting rights, the voting rights that are allowed, president mighty and getting the power. and we're not seeing enough from the president or, nor his justice department. i just don't think that a black people are going to accept that, that, that paradigm anymore. and they are expressing their chagrin with his president, with this administration for on it's lack of action on the issues that are really impacting black people to this day, including lack of economic opportunity, lack of educational opportunities, being disproportionately exposed to the climate crisis. police violence, um, so, so many other an education in wealth gap. so many other things, and i'm the expect results for the popular press is taking a but one of its own half the claims that kremlin spy is still the formula for

russia spooning v vaccine from the u. k. the story and the sun was widely picked up by other outlets, but now at least one rifle newspapers retracted its article and apologized. has come to our attention that this was false as the information about the inventor of the sputnik v. vaccine gambling national research center for epidemiology and microbiology is publicly known. the article also contained false information. as an apology. we are happy to set the record straight and published the following statement from the russian direct investment fund. was a newspaper branded, it's reporters and exclusive saying that anonymous british government sources had preferred data for the russian covey. jabbers pinched by moscow's foreign agent in person. with a credit and spokesperson responded to it all by describing the papers being famous for it. deeply unscientific articles are developers of sputnik. they say they used the same scientific method. they applied an earlier research to quickly make the vaccine against co, regarding the 1st registered in the world of russian scientists,

and are working on joint clinical trials with astrazeneca on a combination of the 2 vaccines. meantime, the british security minister, when question on the validity of the sons report, was hesitant. the back, the papers claims i'm can't comment won't comment on the specific case, but it would be fair to say correct to say that we face threats of this type that are different. they're more sophisticated, they're more extensive than they ever have been before, or journalist and former newspaper, and at a luxury, they says he isn't surprised that british dailies are turning on each other. and it's their unrelenting attacks on moscow, which is the real issue. while competition and the british press is terrible. yeah . so especially for, for categories like that. so no wonder that they are trying to show that the other one is not right. especially in this case that's so a clear fate use you know, you say the king is dead while the king is to the light. so that's

a typical fight. you know, we said tabloid for which shot the scandalous, the info l scandals, cells paper, and also of course on the internet. and they don't really care about the truth of their news. and so even if it's so wrong, well, russia is usually bad. so why not say one more time, you know, but sort of all form stupid argument that could be in their mind. in the western press, i'm a jung was thin in the west and in the western press. it's l not one time. it is repeatable, it's every day. it is detailed news, big news always russia is wrong. it's the message. this is fake news, giving only one part of the story and they are so good at that. in the european press. this is our say on line for you. another wealthy white guy goes in a rocket. you'll like this one though. the original captain kirk from star trek has made it into space for real. and it means that william shatner,

whose 90 is the oldest person to reach of the styles, coldly, gathering about 100 kilometers about the west texas deserts in a blue origin, spacecraft lay me up and you can see more on that story right now at r t dot com still ahead here most goes open free cobit testing sites throughout the city because of that drastic spike in new cases here. what about correspondence is among those getting checked out and is one of our stories off of the break? ah

what happened to the idea of tolerance and our politics? conservative see their world being up ended. liberals view conservatives with contempt. of course the media only makes things worse. we all lost hope and compromise in peaceful coexistence. ah ah. oh, hello again. russia's daily corona, virus infection, and death rights. a hovering near all time highs with numbers in some regions,

almost doubling in the past months. out a bit to try and curb to spread some regions of imposed compulsory vaccination for certain categories of workers. as well as q op code passes for venues and moscow. the most affected region, it's now launched free testing centers in tune 20 locations, including in the cities largest shopping malls, to re 3 poke reports from one of them. we are here in the heart of russia's capital in moscow, on the red square in the gloom department store for a while, it's been a place for people to get vaccinated. but now it is also one of the 20 centers that gets out free. express coven tests. these centers are being opened up as cases in russia continue to search in just the last few days. the number of new daily cases across the country has climbed to almost 30000 figures as high as last winter with most of them being in moscow. however, many medical experts think that this is actually reaching the peak and that these

numbers is rising numbers in cases are actually due to more tests being readily and easily available. and that's kind of why the also thing that this could be signaling an end to the search. because the more tests, the more cases are confirm, the more people are treated and less people get infected. well, this is the actual test site in the room where people have been steadily flowing in throughout the day to get their free express tests. all they need to show is their passport. we're a child's birth certificate, need doctor andre lasheik of he's overseeing this test site and is responsible for making sure everything goes smoothly and that the necessary steps are taken in case of a positive result. experienced this to you in this express task allows you to discover if a patient is potentially infected within 15 minutes or less, it's your other guy's got to sit on it so quick. how reliable is it? heather? so we, it's a special analysis allows you to get results in a short time,

and it's reliability is very high. nobody answers what is the result is positive, will another test occur pre them business law? of course, from the express test results, we tentatively assume a patient is infected, therefore, all of those it test positive or additionally tested via the p c our method. and after receiving the final result, we make a decision regarding treatment. or we decide to stop the self isolation which the patient ideas to until the results are obtained all time and take us. oh boy, no surprise. mm hm. and that's it. now just got to wait 15 minutes and the results should be in well find, find out by test results. monday with fever, my case auditing, simple. i'm healthy. i can carry on with my dear life now,

worrying about infecting anybody. so that's the test process. pre easy and reliable medical experts hope that this approach will lead to much more test being done, which will lead to earlier detection and better treatment of the virus. and eventually that should result in a different the re sensors of cases across russia. the muslim call to prayer will be heard across cologne, in germany, after local authorities get their approval for it to be broadcast over loud speakers. officials say the move, it's a gesture of respect, but many citizens stress that such a move is at odds with european culture and norms. a cologne central mosque, which is germany's largest, has been a flash point, frankly muslim sentiment before the mass strongly defending this week's decision. cologne is the city of religious freedom and diversity. those who arrive at the main train station are greeted by the cathedral and accompanied by church bells. many cloned residents amused lamps allowing them wears and cool is for me

a sign of respect for 35 mosques and the city will be able to play the call for up to 5 minutes. initiative comes as part of an agreement between cologne officials and the muslim community mosques seeking the broadcast. it will have to comply with volume limits and also notify neighbors in advance. we got reaction to the decision in the thanks can can say, i think that's great because the muslim community so soon could as a this is also the last for going was last time just that the church learning about and the most. how can also make the call to prayer? i think this very great. now could i doll fallen though, so they're all for it's nice for multiculturalism. who got germany says we are here, like we also take care of muslim also, which unfortunately some political parties don't do any more or less than it makes me happy when i hear it from a book. it's a piece of homes on the book. this is finished live. i don't think it's bad, but i don't think it's all that great either project. i live directly opposite. so i hear it all the time of him or the fact that you know,

have to listen to what is being said others. but whether you want to hear it or not, i don't think it's the best thing with her. oh that's it. feel as follows. i think it's wrong. i think religion is something personal. you don't have to bar all the people around with it look good when they call out in foreign language, i think that's really bad because then the people don't know what they're actually st. i'm the last is, i mean, we heard from one mom who says it's a positive move because mostly and so now an integral part of german society. i think it's a good initiative, basically highlighting the rights which are founded in the constitution itself. listeners are, are part of this country in this society. and if the i part of the society, then it's a matter of representation of every single day isn't so also as other religious groups are represented in germany. the same way, most them should also be there is a fear in regards to song and you know, we,

as muslim, we have to do our part on a to basically reduce this here. however, there are other voices, the believe germany has its own identity, which needs to be protected. he has one, these is not the majority in germany. this depending on which city you are between one or 2 percent, after maybe 5 percent and some big cities, 10 percent that still 90 percent of non muslims. we have to start petition and it's just the identity. and if you, if you see the skyline up cologne, how it is for the last century, the cathedral is a dominant factor. so it's the entity of cologne, every tradition in cologne, every believe in cologne, wherever you go, you'll find symbols of the christian at entity. so to give away our entity is not carlo runs is not religious tolerance, religious tolerance is to allow these landed community to pray and what they should

have that they should not dominate the stones of the city of cologne. and now it's for everybody to hear. but their law is greater than our christian god. to the vulcans, in se you're development ethnic tensions of erupt since the clashes in serbia's break away region of kosovo. 10 protested, and 10 officers were injured after a police fire tear gas at a crowd of serbs protesting a series of rate. ah, with a dozen. ah, i believe, said that the raids, targeted suspected smugglers in the north of kosovo, which is mostly populated by minority,

serves who don't recognize the regions of south plat. independence from serbia or officials insist that the operations were not directed against any particular nationality. and that the suspects author, kosovar albanians. i just want to remind you the story. we opened a bulletin with several people have been killed and a number of others injured in an attack in norway. reports said that a man had shot at people with a bow and arrow in the town of combs berg, which is about 80 kilometer south west of the capitol. also, a suspect has been detained, but the police aren't giving any details in terms of the numbers or identities or for the victims or the suspect will rebuild. he tells it out later bulletins. that's it for now though from r t in moscow. thanks for watching. ah

ah, that he rather replaced us to play the closely with a thinly daniels purely little fish with little castile with his food, saving him and then you would get these images labels up was good for supposedly good. have my did some, i would say again, has been your music. his image is still weak on mom, but it's mostly, it's what your hope was out of you to get the vote for idea with all of your group plan it some way up. all of bella, we try to continuously to the shelter. we'll shuttle you to

join me every person on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking together in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah, these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushed my business over the age, pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy now i realize we were good. this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the concept. see, thumbs. it is the lawyers. these people have got want on their stories. ottawa can a whistle blower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. we

have committed suicide, but left behind north, the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by buying coffee sauce that late them to i talked to spy obscene. these people up nor sold ah with hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . what happened to the idea of tolerance in our politics? conservative. see their world being up ended. liberals view conservatives with

contempt. of course, the media only makes things worse. have we all lost hope in compromise and peaceful coexistence. cross talking davis and politics. i'm joined by my guest, christopher baron and winchester. he is vice president of public relations for z labs and in miami. we have, sorry, if she is a former us presidential candidate or in cross type rules in effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate it, chris, let me go to you 1st here. i think all of us. okay. so it's a bit younger than us, but all of us were brought up in the tradition of, of tolerance and compromise. and now that, that is just paddling not true anymore. calling the f b i on parents that are angry about what's going on in their children's school.
