7:01 am
as all the actual activities of the police was entirely justified. also ahead, i texted his judge blocks united ur lines, kobe vaccine mandates after employees file, a federal lawsuit, arguing against the company's policy will break down that story. and with the future of energy in the balance e, you states suddenly want to broaden nuclear power as green and natural gas as the quote bridge to the renewable li ah. are coming i from moscow every hour of the day. this is then use our on our team. my name's you know neil good to have you with us at least 6 people have reportedly been killed in beirut. after gunmen open fire and supporters of shia
7:02 am
gripped his bola, who were marching in protest against the judge leading the probe into the deadly port blast that hit the city in august. last year the military has been deployed and at the moment we believe are exchanging fire with the government. ah less growth live now to local reporter linda to 1000000 in bay route for the latest on what seems to be a very fast developing story. it looks as if there's gun fire at happening at the moment, linda and a lot of conflicting reports. indeed in the media about what happened today. what is known? well, so far the situation seems to have come down just slightly, but again,
7:03 am
it's very volatile. gunfire can erupt at any moment. now we know that the situation is quite fragile. there. what happened? well, we know that a mile and has the protesters to, to the streets in protest of, you know, keeping judge had it because of the has investigator in the black probe. they were headed to the justice palace and i had me and they were met with gunfire. reportedly a call according to where it's coming from and that many were trying to save quite an iconic location, knowing that where the civil war started back in 1975. now we don't know exactly who started the shooting investigations are ongoing, and we know that the lebanese army is heavily deployed in the area and they're trying to find the shooters of behind this. and we also know that the war and they will shoot at any gun men in the area. and they also advised every single civilian to evacuate the area as well. we also saw
7:04 am
a very touching footage of the army men removing school children and helping them to safety. so i'm telling you no child deserves to go through this and no person deserve to be injured, no person there to be killed. and of course, speaking of being killed, the death bill is very likely to rise, knowing that we have a number of injuries that have been rushed to hospital, some of them in critical condition. so the situation is looking good at all. no, it doesn't look to be at all as well. linda, to mean local reporter do keep an eye on things. we will try and try back with you as the day progresses as to the situation there. thank you. linda. the police in norway say they suspect in a series of bowen, r. o killings and weapons, they had converted to islam and was on their radar. over signs of radicalization, the 37 year old danish man has been arrested and charged after 5 people were killed . 2 injured in the time of congress berg police in the time which is around 70
7:05 am
kilometers from oslo, reported that the suspect was walking around randomly firing a bull in the area was cordoned off with emergency services getting a helicopter the ploy to the scene on city hospitals were put on stun boy to police believe the suspect in the lo and are investigating whether it was an act of terrorism. well, i'm very happy to say with cross live to chris phillips, chris, his former head of the case, national counter terrorism security office to give us some insight into events. chris, hello, police say there were concerns regarding the suspects. robert callas ation, that seems to be very much a line of investigation here. so he was known, does it appear that therefore there were failures in keeping track of him while it's too early to say anything along those lines at the moment. but what we can say
7:06 am
is, if he was known and he was radicalized, he's one of thousands of others that are in a similar situation. and of course, the place where there's no way denmark, the u. k. russia cannot hope to keep their eyes on all of these people and the use the arrow seems to suggest that we get it on the 2nd chris, but i just wanna, you know, pinpoint and not because we do here time and time again. when a suspect has been on a watch list, something happens, they go often or for whatever reason, they are not tracked. it appears that a year ago, he was the source of some kind of investigation. and then the police in noise say he was taken off the radar, does not, not lead to some to make the, the summary that something went wrong there somewhere along the line. well, i think what happens is that the police have to use the resources. they've got so they will use a risk of how risky an individual lives and where he's pulling off the radar
7:07 am
could mean that you just follow the line all very risky people. now of course, the things are always great to look back on hindsight, but it will, it will come out and the quality is what was known and how dangerous he appeared to be. but people change very quickly and local attack, so very easy to plan as well. absolutely. and that's what i'm saying. you're somebody who's been in the room, you've develop strategies to deal with. this has become more difficult for, for police to keep track of suspect because of what a, whatever reason perhaps, and lack of resources. even political correctness when it comes to this, has their jobs been made more difficult when it comes to certain community? certain grouping? yeah, right, cause the piece but, but i think the biggest problem is the sheer weight of numbers of people that are in this category of being radicalized and at risk. and we all release people back into the community, who are still radicalized and in prison. so,
7:08 am
so the basic job is pretty much impossible. they've got to be lucky all the time in as much as the following, the person that is the highest risk. but of course, if you've got 20000 people, how to keep all the under any homeless and the suspects survived in terms of understanding the modem is behind. it's chris, how significant an aspect is that will be interesting because he will be useful to gain intelligence. certainly whether there were other people involved in his radicalization, but it was about an hour i was going to kill yourself with that. so he did have no, i don't believe he could have taken his own life while the sounds of it and he didn't. and that will give it late for people who have died, a trial for someone to be convicted of giving them you have a point, you brought up the bow and arrow, the weapon, thus the tucker used. what do you make of that? is it the fact that they're less regulated than guns perhaps that we're, we're seeing other weapons being used more and more, you know,
7:09 am
many different ways of killing people unfortunately, and not easy to get hold of cars already did to get hold on. and in this case a bone arrow which is quite unusual, but of course it does. it is a killing machine over over a reasonably. 3 long distance and that has attracted him, but it does go to show that if you restrict the number of people get hold of it does actually reduce the ability of people to kill this man with a machine gun would have been able to kill many more people. yeah, chris, thanks very much for your time to give us an insight into all that chris felt for me. i had a view case national counter terrorism security office. many fact australia is slowly emerging from some of the toughest and longest kobe restrictions in the world. but those that have to enforce the rules are bearing the brunt of public frustration, especially when they go to people's homes. ah,
7:10 am
[000:00:00;00] with being on social media protests on tuesday, you agree that you put some posts on facebook legalize if you could. yep. so the question that's been raised is when you them, so you are really clear and perfect or event coming up. good. no, no. okay. you have any communication circling around between people about the plan that's coming up
7:11 am
with that we asked the number of, i guess if they see that police as so called welfare checks on citizens as unaffected measure, it is targeting, this will say checks on people that mike political statements or organized place full rallies, dot com like that. no, it's right there. knock on your door and i told you that a, that they do know well for a chick or that they've received an anonymous tip off that char, your, your organizing a protest or that your posting anti government propaganda on high school or instagram. so of course, a inappropriate, because it seems like it's always the same people being targeted. i do not see this as intimidation,
7:12 am
as all the actual activities of the place was entirely justified. the people that operate it is the people who call themselves freedom fighters that are indeed the very opposite. they are people who want to do what they want to do and they do not realize that their actions are doing is putting everyone else at risk. people have just had enough and the more they keep us locked down to more and more people will protest and it seems the more and more of these welfare checks will happen. the police are turning out the door of women of mothers with kids and arresting them because they put up something on facebook that the government didn't agree which i've been here for 4 months without leaving my house except to get groceries. we would all like to be have, i would like to visit my family, leave alone. why? why? but the reality is that as tired as we are,
7:13 am
if we come together is the community. if we understand what citizenship is really all about, then what you do is you do what you can do your community and the, the law that you do that the more likely that you will get out sooner. people who protest against people who are cold freedom flashes a doing the very opposite. well, on a related theme and a temp i, america's 2nd largest airline to force all employees to vaccinate against covert has had turbulence in texas, united airline staff there have convinced the judge to suspend, putting people on leave if they don't get inoculated. gillmet ben, how's that? story, well, 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 hearing's begin on wednesday,
7:14 am
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 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 overturned, arguing they're not inconsistent with us labor laws. there were thousands of flights that were cancelled around the country, causing a little bit of panic at the airport.
7:15 am
lose lose news . the i've never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of
7:16 am
a mandate executive order from president biden mandates it all federal employees. and then all federal contractors have to have a mandate info vaccine in place by december the 8th. so we're working through that, ah, ah, in now another workplace that has 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 create 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 hub over the course of the last few days about southwest airlines. we now
7:17 am
know that some of those claims were absolutely false and actually the issues were completely unrelated to vaccine mandates. now boeing, which is a major aerospace corporation in the united states, has moved to comply with biden's order is 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. so at this point, these vaccine mandates we're seeing from the biden administration and for major companies, airlines, etc, are causing quite a bit of division in the country. americans don't see i'd i on this question. well, as we heard their taxes is against mandatory vaccines. and so it's florida. it's governor, find one county nearly $4000000.00 for firing on vaccinated health care workers. back in texas. private companies and other entities are barred from requiring
7:18 am
inoculations. i issued an executive order, prohibit infection mondays by any entity in texas. the covered 1900 vaccine is safe, effective, and our best defense against the virus, but should always remain voluntary and never force. we must protect the jobs or for radians and preserve the ability of flurry dance to make their own decisions regarding what shots to take. well, those states aren't the only ones undermining federal orders. lawmakers in arkansas have approved a measure for vaccine mandate exemptions. the governor hasn't said whether he will sign it the by an administration monday, was planned to apply to organizations with at least a 100 employees on covers and estimated 80000000 workers. we heard from vice presidential, libertarian party candidate spike cohen and the last election. the believe it's better for the government to give people more. busy information but not force than to be job. i think that politicians,
7:19 am
especially federal politicians, but really politicians in general, increasingly believe that they know better than the average person how they should live their life. i think what's gonna happen is more and more businesses are going to turn to the government and divide the ministration and say, we can't have this, we don't have enough workers and we can't do it. i think that it would have been much better handled, had they simply given us the information about the vaccine and said if you take this vaccine, you are more likely than not. you're much less likely to end up dying or ending up sick or in the hospital. it's not likely to keep you from getting it or spreading it, but there might be some protection there. and it's a personal choice, a personal health choice for you to make the pandemic would not be as bad. right now, if the government were focusing on deregulating health care and allowing more providers to provide instead of, for example, one thing that they're doing that is completely destructive is they are firing health care workers who won't get vaccinated. it's going, it's already leading to hospital shut down. people are going to die because of this
7:20 am
nod, basketball star, kyrie irving, of the brooklyn that has been suspended from all n b a games and training sessions because he's refused to take a job against cobit ortiz, dunny armstrong picks up the story for us. one of the basketball, biggest stars brooklyn, that's kyrie irving band from games or even training until he's vaccinated. great finance rivals disastrous for how it makes the whole system of the sport. look, we're a stay in the m b a can even agree a unified policy. meaning the decision of one state has a blank effect across the board. currently, the choice restricts his ability to be a full time member of the team and we will not be in with any member of our team to participate with part time availability. irving was banished from nets home games to to new york city is 100 percent vaccination requirements for players. now the 7th time, all star could be deprived of time on the court, totaling 43 games and his team who had been run away favorites before the move
7:21 am
their best ever chance of championship glory. now the next 10 to forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars for each game, missed that $16000000.00 of irvings yearly salary irving. the net star guard is not a one man army, while most m. b. a players are now fully jap. some still shown the vaccine and in a system that pit state against the professional sports association that's leaving plays very confused. i don't think you can pressure anybody into making a decision about their body or what they put into their body last month. less than half of m. b a play is were vaccinated. now that number is close to almost the entire league. inoculation is crucial, but in the end b a, it's tending to a political game between extremely powerful sides being played far off the court. russia is experiencing new record highs and cobit cases, as well as dance from the virus. the last peak was 10 months ago in december last year. currently, the new daily caseload has been surpassing $30000.00 debts from the virus or,
7:22 am
or under 1000 per day in the country with largest city and capital moscow. leading the statistics, despite vos, mass vaccine production, high levels of efficacy for the russian jobs only around a 3rd of the population has been inoculated against the disease. russia is not using gas as a weapon and it's willing to supply even more if you're a basks those words coming from vladimir, put out the russian energy weak international forum. the president was out to the spell was he's cold, fourths nora to zip on the country. strategy on the global energy market this year low, but as far as north stream to was concerned, what opponents of the project have claimed that this is not a commercially viable product and rushes pursuing geopolitical motivations. well, you know, this is yet another piece of nonsense. just please pay closer attention to what i'm saying. this route is 2000 kilometers,
7:23 am
shorter and quicker to our main consumers in europe than via ukraine. easy. 2000 kilometers more efficient. it's cheaper because transit is cheaper. and it's also cheaper for customers because the transit fee has to be included in the end price in particular for european customers. we are doing this despite our political differences. this year we have increased supply by 10 percent. again, we would very much like them to be grateful instead of only criticizing us more. no . so look, well, if a trend goes on to russian energy week for us here says recap of the opening day. first, a quick look into the context of lot of my previous 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 prices for natural gas futures in europe have absolutely skyrocketed. they went
7:24 am
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 north stream to however, this crisis led to reassessment and this is what the russian leader has been talking about for a while. and he also brought up what he called mistakes and the european energy policies that lead to the christ. i guess fire prices on gas in europe or a consequence of a deficit of energy and not vice versa. and that's why you should not shift the blame over the last 10 years. step by step systematic flaws were introduced into the european energy system. and they lead to a massive energy crisis. for any market, stability and predictability are important. and russia flawlessly fulfills its contractual obligations to our partners, including our partners in europe. we, in short guaranteed uninterrupted gas deliveries to europe. we have every reason to
7:25 am
believe that this year we will reach record levels of gas deliveries on the global market. when prices are volatile, when they're going through the roof, what can help with that extra supplies? president prudent said that there was not a single occasion when rushes energy joined gas from refused a request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and what mr. brewton was asked a straightforward question whether moscow has ever used the energy sector as a political weapon. his answer was straightforward. no, want to ask you about it directly. has russia been using energy as a weapon? russia's not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention as for the economy, where are we using weapons and what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. there's nothing to support it when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of the day. i guess the question is, how can you expect europe to believe you're
7:26 am
a reliable energy partner when you're not supplying that energy via the pipeline receivers, if you're a beautiful woman, but 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 when she went to london, you said that you are 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 receive, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe. gas price increase supplies by 10 percent, and overall russia increase them by 15 percent. we have increased gas supply through pipelines by 10 percent and increased l n g supply by 13 percent. we are increasing that we're not decreasing our gas supply to europe. 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,
7:27 am
but they depend on the current market situation and the oil prices. by the way, what's a major cause for concern for us? some very important european politicians is that the transit of russian natural gas through ukraine beyond 2024. well, lot of putin said 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 long term contracts again. what russia ones is stability and predictability. just to continue on from other tomic energy and gas are back on the menu in europe. amid the energy crisis, it appears many u officials are realizing about the rush towards green and renewable sources for tomorrow. i said the big problems today and france, for instance, president micron has unveiled a long term plan that looks to diversify its environmental credentials and construct small and modular nuclear reactors to supply power. let me take the
7:28 am
number. one objective is to develop innovative small nuclear reactors in france by 2030 with better waste management. why put this 1st? because the 1st objective is the production of energy to produce power especially electricity, france is lucky to have a historical model. we already have nuclear power facilities in place. 10 you countries led by part of a peel to the european commission, asking them to recognize nuclear power as green. the countries are mainly from central and south eastern europe and already use it as one of their main sources of energy. 70 percent of electricity produced in france is generated by nuclear power, despite fears, voice stuff for the 2011 fukushima accident in japan. political commentator on elizabeth moutain believes it is the future of energy production. i think our bub nuclear energy is both green because it produces no a c o 2,
7:29 am
o it's safe as long as you respect all the redundancies and the safety proper goals that are french of nuclear plants for instance respect. oh, it's less costly and we can see that the other alternative energies, the other green energies that are available are essentially costly and unreliable because they rely on things like wind and sunshine, which do not always exist. so in terms of actually beauty, the environmental quality of the environment, these above the results is not very good. whereas nuclear, as i said, is sort of, it's reliable. it's proven francis had nuclear energy plants in for now, 5 decades. almost we're getting into the 50 gate. there's a great deal of experience and it, it has the actual choice of the future. meanwhile, germany social democrats, the winning party, and the recent federal elections as pushing from more focus on natural gas in the used green policy. over 90 percent of the block supplies comes from abroad with russia. as the main supplier,
7:30 am
gas plays an important role image transition to clean energy, we should of course be reflected the taxonomy natural gas is half cleaner than still production using coking coal in a blast furnace for security of supply and competitive prices. it is essential to use natural gas is the last fossil raw material as a bridge to the renewable age? natural gas is there useful as a combustion? it, i mean, it works, it's fine. it's not very expensive. it's, i've done the problem is that countries like russia and could tell, provide most of the natural gas in on the market. and sometimes they're all political strings attached in the chase of guitar. it's extremely unpleasant to know about a b masses of money that are being paid tickets are going to go and finance terrorist groups, for instance. ok, we are back in moments. we're another visit to the news views. she is studios that
