a wife and 5 children. what we are seeing now is tributes and statements pouring in, cross the political spectrum. we've also heard from forest johnson as a prime minister. he was one of the kind his nicest, those gentle people in politics. and he also had an outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable david with a man who believe passionately in this country. and in its future as the nation is in an absolute state of shock. many also now calling for more security unsafe protocols for members of parliament in britain, especially considering the really chilling similarities to the murder of joe cox who was stopped on shot to death back in 2016 again. that was just before her very own constituency surgery meeting. it's also really sad to know that said david,
1:04 am
a mrs. last tweet was actually talking about this constituency surgery invitation, saying to the local community to com and chat to him face to face for, for many m p. 's. this is a really pastor, no tragedy for them. and a terrible reminder of the very real risks that they face in the jobs of a normal friday turns very harrowing and very violent, indeed, and a much investigation is now underway. david amos was in fact, a frequent guest here on the international where he would typically share his views on politics in the u. k. joining me now for more on this is conservative m p for south and west said david amos, congress elected on the same day, 983. is this gentleman we need to have a government who know what they're doing. i don't mind hard work. in fact, the already is it would go back to so as of constituents i had when i used to
1:05 am
represent pounds of them, i don't think it's anything to do with politics, politics, and the number of seats. david, thanks for speaking to us. earlier we discussed the implications of the politicians murder suspected link as well to that of islam is terrorism with our guests. it follows, you know, the, the terror attack very recently in no way. also, you do to islamic motivation and 4 major terrorist attacks in afghanistan. but when you stop murdering and then p n p, you from the constituent that you are raising it to a completely different level. because now you're talking about the on board, bring an elected representative in the name of some de ology. and i think that there's no question that the british government is going to have to take a very serious measures. so it's, it's, it's the level of any previous attack, at least in the u. k. we've had
1:06 am
a big refugee issue with in europe throughout europe. not just the u. k. and so now this potentially could create even more friction. ah, an anti refugee type feeling within, within certain populations. it's a potential, although i think this is the anomaly and you have to look at policies to is u. k. policies in somalia would that have been a potential you know, implication of radical life in this individual or, or maybe it was nothing about politics at all. maybe just a mental health issue. the european union is challenging its own member states over the way they're pushing back migrants trying to enter the block in the latest development, the you home, a fast commissioner as some of the invoice from 3 eastern states calling the situation on that borders. dia, picking up the story, our correspondent charlotte sky. the issue is having to hang its head in over the way its board of forces are treating my grants just trying to cross into
1:07 am
the block. this is no longer just about fortress europe and the extensive fence building and surveillance systems that are being put in place on its eastern borders. know in recent weeks, more concerning incidence over the way that my grants are treated to have been exposed in croatia, 3 border police officers have been suspended of being filmed violently pushing back people at the border. mm. and that's not just confined to croatia, greek border officers are also subject to investigations over hundreds of cases of alleged push backs. mm.
1:08 am
now in lithuania, more violations have been reported. the news own board, the chief admitting the problem was wider than previously known. there are, if i remember correctly. now, 17 almost 20. let's say, serious insta reports with a suspicion of the violation of fundamental rights. and matthew ania, mcgary went on to say the reason was down to how lithuanian law was being interpreted. and the question was, was that compatible with e you legislation? now lithuania is currently a hot spot for migrant crossings. now lithuania is interior minister says migrant have to enter at certain points. we have taken decisions in national laws that one can only until su ania through a legal way that is through
1:09 am
a boarded check point. oh, by filing their request with our embassy. but these all relatively new rules only adopted in the past few months. and the rule appears to be on a collision course with the e. u. so called shank in voters code that says people seeking asylum cannot be forced back against their will. calls are now coming from the highest ranks for action. shocking finding solid reports had to long line of reports, an unacceptable normalization of push backs violence, fierce asylum seekers and migrants high time for the counselor of europe, states to investigate effectively. take action, hold each other to account and such serious human rights violations was half words . yet all they too little too late. these allegations of migrants, refugees being beaten rob to mistreated and forced back over the eastern borders
1:10 am
illegally. not new, nor have they blew, particularly happening in sequence, leaving many to believe that the e u itself may have essentially been complicit for not having already taken more concrete action. all this to, to one, to promote a volleyball model. we've opened society in the past. they wanted to legalize immigration more and his surely e for e v r refugees are but to population or are hostile to any more or to more immigration. and this is why you were left to demonstrate that each it promotes e, you was strong or extra extra on our board us. otherwise, the national board us will be more and more erected and strength friend like you're like in hungary, this is the trends more immigration is as seen as the security problem because of islamist in fiji. crating. so it's more and more sensitive,
1:11 am
subject tough new covered rules and now into the 2nd day in italy, and they've been met by strikes protests and enormous transport disruptions a so called green passes and are mandatory for anyone wanting to go to work. yeah, thousands of people gathered in rome on friday, urging the government to scrap the new rules so you know, the overly harsh under the new system. employees have to show proof of vaccination recovery from cobit or a negative test told go without a authority to defend the system, saying it's the best way of preventing further locked downs. but port workers intrigues, which is a key maritime gateway for europe threatening to bring supply trains to a standstill if the government doesn't back down here at r t. we spoke to some couple of based phones. we are here to protest against the
1:12 am
green bus for workers within the green bus is an unlawful tool and improper one that should not be forced upon the workers because it is discriminatory. so we are demonstrating against the government decree. today the constitution is being trampled on what is happening today is like by can 938, i say no to this discrimination deepening clos divide. we're not looking for confrontation, both openness and opportunity for reasoning. here we are talking about economic recovery, but whose economic recovery here families less even more in crisis. those who previously could not make it until the end of the month now find themselves in ridge of $200.00 or 300 years less from having to pay for the test. well, it's not just italy. france is also ramping up the pressure on people to get their shots. health passes on are required to enter almost all public places, and free p c. r. tests for the unvaccinated have now been scrapped. so we got reaction on the streets of pars no, on the obligatory making the health bus compulsory in france the all forms of
1:13 am
employment seems excessive to me, maybe a little counterproductive. i don't think we can have this situation in france because there is already a lot of resistance to the health path focus it's. i think it's very revealing that europe is shifting towards an increasingly totalitarian logic with everyone using the health and safety argument. personally, i'm scared because i'm not vaccinated, not because i'm an anti fax. that because we have created this anti vax label in france, which lumps everyone together and further divide society on french democracy is no longer a real democracy. and we're obliging people to get vaccinated under the pretext of everyone's house am safe friends could do this, but it's obviously not ideal. but i doubt it would last. i think that people would strongly speak out against me for a remote hound in russia's eastern arctic is experiencing an economic boone. it's after being hooked up to the world's 1st floating atomic power plant. is now becoming
1:14 am
a vital link in the fast growing northern shipping root. corresponding cost in a rush gulf made the long journey to peggy heck, oh, we are in the vic or rushes northern mo city where the main job is to survive cold, extreme weather and hostile environment. when the soviet union collapsed, this place used to be a ghost hour. i was want to rushes bustling seaports along the northern sea route. the country's ambitious project in the arctic aim to reshape international trade. the vic is also the sight of a daunting experiment, which made it the 1st city in the world powered by floating nuclear reactors. let's see what life was like. russia's atomic boom town. we're like a big family emetic nationality people are actually friends with each other here.
1:15 am
let me show you something. what did you eat for dinner yesterday? yes, i don't have dinner. i'm on the diet. green onion, 16 west dollars. some parts of the city. it looked like a ghost out. the snow still turned blacks are they make is located in chicago. got the country's most eastern region which borders alaska. it's not an island but local, still referred to the rest of russia as the mainland. perhaps because of how isolated the field, for instance, there are no permanent roads or railway tracks leading to perfect. their only options would be ice breakers or airplanes. while we're not into that yet, but we're already tired of traveling. ha has been what's ah, $24.00 no over 24 hours is full f. moscow and we're still flying across russia. first, we flew to another severest than further east to the city of mcgayden. ha!
1:16 am
then we had to stay here overnight and now it's our final leg a to our fly, to pick on one on the soviet era. aeroplanes. with the a and 28 that took us to perfect, have the smallest restroom i've ever been int, but no complaints. we're, we're going, it's not about comfort. flew one of the 1st things that strike you in perfect is that there are no trees just nothing. the land here is so frozen, nothing grows on it. and that makes the landscape bleak and sadly boring. so to
1:17 am
liven things up coloring buildings and orange or pink is probably not the worst idea. the next notorious for harsh weather. but it's not just about the cold. exactly, exactly. so for those who are videos of people falling over and rolling across the street and i've been able to stand up with people, my local residents enjoy a soccer shows off her winter outfit, a mink fur coat. she knows animal advocates won't like it and she doesn't care
1:18 am
intervention if you're not dress warm enough. when you die, you should rafter in the north. now cold in winter and drops as low as minus 45 minute put a degrees celsius. it's very cold and you still go out on the street, of course not harsh climate. dixie, every aspect of life, let me show you something because of the permafrost. most of the cities communications run above ground and are hidden inside concrete boxes like this one right here. and this also became a popular alternative for regular sidewalks which sometimes are impassable, especially in winters. so as they say one in rome or in the vac, we're going to hop on one of the communication lines and get around like real local news. most of the
1:19 am
residential buildings and projects have been built and pilots. the space left between the 1st floor and permanently frozen ground helps to keep houses warm, but it looks like somebody has gone even further in fighting the cold. there was a building in fact that has empty glass bottles paid right into the was and you can literally see this from the outside. this extra layer of air is supposed to save up heat. i've never heard of that technology. i'm not sure if it works and there is no way to check because the building has been abandoned. but i guess if you want to survive into god got you got us the creative. the city still keeps lots of soviet era structures and monuments, most of which have been around since the vac was founded in 1930. 0 it was gold. another precious metals that attracted people and turned the place into an arctic blue town. initially to vac was the place of at least 3 glock hands cheap labor and came in handing in the rapidly growing settlement. the collapse of
1:20 am
the soviet union had a devastating effect on the deck with almost no support from the mainland. the city quickly lost half of its population and lot of residential buildings were left completely abandoned. some parts of the city still looked like a ghost. our people were so desperate to leave in the 1990. sometimes they traded entire apartments were airplane tickets to moscow. after years of exposure to extreme weather, there is no way people can live in these houses again, and it's too expensive to tear them down. to what nature has done to these buildings, the main people leave something behind the wilderness claims. it almost as if there is a message and gets his garden or you might be next. how
1:21 am
do you feel about the city? does it feel like it's on its death row or the opposite bias in about? i don't know why it's developing not the 5th district has been built completely different. we can see all the new house. is it? a new power plant was built on a new church has been black. so there is life and thank you. yes, yes, of course. there is one particular project that breathed new life into the city and how did to move on from the devastation of the 1996, the vicar, something put itself on the map as a side of a daunting experiment. it's the 1st city in the world that lives off a floating nuclear power plant. seriously, this huge thing you see right there is basically a c platform would to submarine style atomic reactors on it. no one has ever done this before. the power plant named academic la monassa, was assembled in saint petersburg and then moved to prevent by c, turned out to be way cheaper and easier than bringing thousands of construct
1:22 am
workers. tons of materials to remote regions like to quote, russia plans on building a small fleet of these floating stations and use them to power remote facilities and maybe even offshore oil and gas platforms. stuckey system, the only way opposed is up on everyone is concerned said no motive larissa c store or is to nami. what's going to happen to atomic reactor said to them with acronyms . is this her as reported? is that a stress tests were conducted because it was showed that even if a shem ominous rims of our morning lime ali and we get carried ashore with our safety is still ensured and radiation emissions will be prevented her care. michelle. and the water around academic la monassa, we sort seals, which seemed perfectly fine about swimming around the nuclear reactors. people here are hopeful that switch him to atomic energy will also reduce to vax reliance on coal. that remains its main source of power. you see, the snow still turns black some times because of the emission coming out of the old
1:23 am
coal power plant. actually can see this plan right from here. pacific in search for one wreckage, we came across a local library. that's apparently quite popular. mainly because of the extremely slow internet in the city, which makes watching netflix or youtube, a torture and having a poor choice of other entertainment people actually read books in private. 2 ladies working at the library gladly offered as hot beverages and for their hearts out on what they love and hate about the city. apparently, store prices are a heated topic and vivica in august. i read sometimes when i'm in the shop while i look at some items and i think if i can afford them or not yet, although i really want them. but i rarely buy cheese ish because it costs a 101200 repulsion. i rarely buy handled because it's also real expensive. what did
1:24 am
you eat for dinner yesterday? yeah, i don't have deer. i'm diet next rated among rushes most expensive cities, which makes sense because 90 percent of goods are shipped from mainland russia. things like food, household items and clothes cost way more than say in moscow. just look at the price back here. cucumber, 11 us dollars per kilo made it $11.00 per kilo, and there are just 2 tomatoes left to in the tire shop. now this one, garlic 15 us dollars per kilo, and it's just for maybe 5 times more. and then same mosque where i live and that's one. my favorite, it's green orleans. $16.00 for one p insane each time. here in the know we usually eat frozen food. if you look here, you can see that everything is in the freezer,
1:25 am
buried f version. everything is frozen. if we get fresh groceries, it's when they're brought over biplane. things like sausages are brought to protect biplane. yes, that's crazy. why should keep in mind that that is a small and close knit committee of law, fewer than 5000 people and for instance, if a person is short in cash, he can borrow from a shop. see that and assuming copy book, the shopkeeper, quickly put away it's a hand written list of those. you owe money to the store. if you've live next to someone for 20 years, and now they still live here with us, then you can say there's no escape from the submarine. they'll come and take what they need to day and another day they'll return the money for the real disaster for prevent because when a supply she doesn't come on time say because of bad weather. therefore, some local shops break the law by not getting rid of expired products, just in case this box right here, expired in june. look, though it's 5 months ago,
1:26 am
but i just bought it with a is 2 per cent discount. and it's a common thing in the neck when we show the expire juice box to prevent deputy mayor he scratch, he's had for about a minute. local authorities are aware of the problem, but there is little they can do until project can be supplied regularly all year round. we have appropriate items and shops, or we don't always have on a shop owners negotiable seizure folder. we have a supply period from june to november, fulfill most of the fresh groceries will come closer to the end of this period comes. we'll let it go, sir. also, and this is how prices are decided because it all gets destroyed. no one wants to have financial losses. ah, life at the edge of the world is no picnic. if you want to survive in a place like this, you have to stick together a rule that everyone here seems to leave by. we have a different mentality to people on the mainland. we are like
1:27 am
a big family. no matter the nationality. people are actually friends with each other here. these dore gold and expensive here. yeah, i love my town. very much. honestly. i gave birth to to amazing boys and i've met the men of my life. headache has given me a lot of what makes people stay in the south eastern lead. that nobody knows with it. if everyone wants to move to the mainland, but they come back cut off. so now that you didn't have to come back as well, congratulations. with the new revolutionary power plant which brings jobs and higher salaries. things begin to look out for the city, but it's not electricity per se, that makes things change. it's the people. and that's the true power of be back in russia's arctic. ah,
1:28 am
i just makes you cold watching that report. really fascinating stuff there from constantine rush, cough there or your program for the saturday morning. lie from oscar, nearly half past 8. now we got lots of stories for you on this weekend. we are back soon. that'll be at about 31 minutes. ah, what happened? i mean, no shit, you know, borders another piece, a new, fresh as a merge, we don't have with the we don't on the back seat. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment,
1:29 am
common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together with ah, these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable a business is to the bank. so you push my business over the age, pushes me right to the bankruptcy. now i realize we will group, this isn't just the back that it may be involved in this is the concept. see, firms is, is the lawyers, these people have got you want on their stories at
1:30 am
a walk kind of whistle blower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. they have committed suicide, but left behind north. the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by buying coff resource that late them to i took the spring. it's obscene. these people up nor saw with .
