2:01 am
i rural re sushi. when are you international with your top stories for this saturday morning? so the horrific killing of a british politician has been declared a terrorist incident at david amos, i long serving conservative member of parliament was fatally stabbed on friday while meeting his constituents in essex. a 25 year old man reported to be a british, national of somali origin has been arrested on suspicion of murder ortiz, shantia. it was dashti reports or conservative. and he said, david amos has died following a multiple, stopping during a constituency surgery meeting out the methodist church. what exactly that is. it's an opportunity the members of the public to meet with the local m p face to face and discuss local political issues. but around midday, the young man ran into the building wielding a knife before attacking the veteran politician and killing him. her magic for treating him out the sea while he was fighting for his life. but he tragically passed away at the scene. the suspect is 25 years of age, he was arrested and
2:02 am
a knife was recovered here at the scene, he is now in custody. now the police say that they're not looking for anybody else in relation to this incident in a david a most was 69. he spent for decades in politics. he currently held his seat since 1997, but was a serving m p. 's. since 1983, making him one of the longest standing m p. 's in government. now he was a big voice in many campaigns, not least, the breck that campaign, and also a huge animal rights advocate as well. sadly, he leaves behind a wife and 5 children. what we are seeing now is tributes and statements are pouring in, cross the political spectrum. we've also heard from forest johnson at the prime minister. he was one of the kindest, nicest, those gentle people in politics. and he also had an outstanding record of
2:03 am
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 lowercase to the murder of joe cox who was stopped and 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, 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. so for many m p 's, this is a really personal tragedy for them. and a terrible reminder of the very real risks that they face in the jobs of
2:04 am
a normal friday turns. very harrowing and very violent, indeed, and a much investigation is now underway. david amos was a frequent guest here on, on the national, where he shed 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 constituent, so i had when i used to represent pounds, hold on. 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 that the implications of the politicians murder and suspected linked to islam is terrorism with it follows, you know, the, the terror attack very recently in no way. also you do to islamic motivation
2:05 am
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 the 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 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. how do you ensure security, you don't want to cut off cut off connections to your, to your constituents?
2:06 am
do we do a better job as far as refugees and ensuring that their background do we provide more security to the m p 's as well? it is just a travis, the european union is challenging its own member states over the way that pushing back migraines, trying to enter the block in the latest development that you, you home with as commission to someone. the envoys from 3 eastern states calling the situation on their borders. dia artes charlotte whiskey, picks up the story. the issue is having to hang its head in over the way its board of forces are treating migrants just trying to cross into 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
2:07 am
exposed in croatia, 3 border police officers have been suspended of being filmed violently pushing back people at the border. ah 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. now in lithuania, more violations have been reported. the news own board, the chief admitting the problem was wider than previously known. there are,
2:08 am
if i remember correctly. now, 17 almost 20. let's say, serious insta reports for the suspicion of the violation of fundamental rights. 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 my grants 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 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
2:09 am
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 cancer 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 robe to mistreated and forced back over the ease eastern borders illegally. not new, nor have they been particularly happening in secret, 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 you to want to promote to rebel lee brown border. we've opened society in the past,
2:10 am
they wanted to legalize immigration more and his surely e for e v, our refugees are but to population or are hostile to any more or to more immigration. and do this is why you were we left to demonstrate that it's, it promotes e, you was strong or extra extra on our board os. otherwise, the national board us will be more and more erected and strength front, like you're like in hungary. this is the trends, more immigration is as seen as the security problem because of islamist in feed crating soul is more and more sensitive, subject capacity i here at moscow and tough new covert rule. so in our to the 2nd day in italy and they be met by strikes protests and transport disruptions . a so called green path as an out mandatory for anyone who wants to go to work.
2:11 am
the thousands of people gathered in rome on friday, urging the government to scrap the new rules seen as overly harsh under the new system. employees have to show proof of vaccination or recovery from cobit or a negative test, or they just go without a authorities have defended the system saying it's the best way of preventing further locked down a port workers entree asked, which is a key maritime gateway for europe. a threatening to bring supply chains to a standstill. if the government doesn't back down. we heard from some of those port workers, couple of based phones we are here to protest against the green battle workers within the green pass 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
2:12 am
when i say no to the discrimination under the deepening class divide. we're not looking for confrontation, both openness and opportunity for reasoning. here we are talking about economic recovery, but whose economic recovery have families less even more in crisis. those who previously could not make until the end of the month now find themselves in average of $200.00 or 300 years less from having to pay for the test will certainly not just italy. france is also ramping up the pressure on people to get their shots. health passes and are required to enter almost all public places and free pcr tests for the unvaccinated have now for some reason been scrapped. so because reaction on the streets of powers, no, on the obligatory making the health bus compulsory in france, the all forms of 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
2:13 am
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 on your obliging people to get vaccinated under the pretext of every month. house and 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 suicide bombing at a mosque and i got his on his left at least 40 people dead and dozens injured of a terrorist group isis k. his claim responsibility for the attack in kandahar of warning. you may find the following images, just having explosions ripped through the mosque during friday prayers. when a large crowd of worshippers was gathered inside, the taliban government says its last investigation. eye witnesses describe seeing, at least for suicide bombers. of the explosion happened when we were at afternoon
2:14 am
praise. in 2 suicide bombers wants to come inside, our gods confronted them with the door, the crashes began, and our gods killed 2 of them. but the other 2 suicide bombers went inside and blew themselves up. friday tragedy came a week after an explosion of another sheer mosque and northern afghanistan, that at least 50 people were killed in the same extreme as to group isis. k claim that attack is all comes at a rapid security meltdown in the wake of the taliban takeover. and of course, that of the us pull out. or he managed to get some unique insights on afghanistan from a man who served in the bush administration at the time of the u. s. invasion. and later as trump's security advisor, john bolton was the guest on art is going on. the ground will be showing the full interview throughout the day. for now though, is an extract you say in your book, the room where it happened, the afghanistan deal. now that's trumps one time will prove who is right. and the full extent to the deal may not become apparent until after trump leaves office.
2:15 am
what is your assessment as a former national security adviser, a fee by the administration foreign policy, especially on afghanistan? well, i think this is one of those few instances where biden and trump agree on on policy both wanted to get out of afghanistan and both ignored the consequences. i think many people thought were foreseeable, what biden did was take trump's deal, which was flawed in many, many respects, and essentially adopted it as his own policy disregarded the advice of senior advisors and the pentagon, the state department, the white house, and i think the consequences have been playing to see it returned afghanistan to control by the taliban and everything that's flowing from that, including the likelihood of foreign terrorist returning and again using afghanistan is a base to plan terrorist operations around the world. so this is
2:16 am
a retreat by the united states, from the international stage. something been believed in since at least 2009 se, se, ironically, trump the wave dana to, i think it's a mistake for the u. s. i think it's a mistake for well stability. certainly, it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan. germany's shift to green energy is under question of it. soaring fuel prices of the government has decided to scrap a tax aimed at funding the switch to renewables until now that levy accounted for around 20 percent of the average household energy bill generated billions of euro's a year, mostly for the construction of wind farms on soda generators, but even without tax gone, the price is still likely to go up with natural gas prices close to old time records. the crisis has force major power companies to suspend contracts for households, which would have been consume, was paying well below the market, right? although others have simply hiked the prices in one bavarian town bills of shut up
2:17 am
by 70 percent. so we went that a speak to the look is we suddenly delay, but it's getting more and more expensive is going up and ask them, what should they unemployed or those on welfare deal. they promise something different, but you have to look at the facts. the winter here is longer than what are people supposed to do. children are called in their rooms after corona and rosen, food prices. people are psychological, a breaking point. my parents and parents in law have a gas boiler for heating. my parents in law have an old house that has not been renovated, therefore they already have very high cost. the cost increase will hit them heart. there are 3 or 4 us and all fled to sir, 100 meters. what that looks like, a huge and chris, we will be hops, he is the heat unless it will put a strainer on our various and that has to be taken into account. it will definitely have an impact on the household budget. this price increase will definitely affect my everyday life because of the self employed person. i have to be very careful at
2:18 am
the moment how i make ends meet you there are on the virus crisis. we heard from my german financial analyst, our full co, helmeyer, who thinks are the rush to ditch fossil fuels, has left europe with a major problem. the good, the good, the reasons for the gas price increase in germany in europe, a complex it has to do with the fact that the winter was colder than expected, and then the storage facility would not refilled. then it also has to do with the fact that long term supply contracts were no longer continued, and a decision was made in favor of short term supply contracts with moscow. this is also the result of the expectation of mild winters due to global warming, and an ideological decision to get rid of fossil fuels. the idea was to get cheaper natural gas. this mixture of decisions taken by our side has led to the current situation. i assume that we will see price increases across the board in other countries, it's much more dramatic than in germany. for example, for breaking friend great britain, the, it's more than 100 percent in germany,
2:19 am
the peak through 68 percent and in most cases, 10 to 20 percent. we can expect an easing of the situation in spring next year. that also depends on whether we fix nor dream too quickly. if we do, the situation will ease more quickly than is currently thought possible. that is why we must remain objective here in the interest of the citizens. meantime, over in the u. s, the green transition is also hitting roadblocks. republicans, according on president biden, to rethink his policies on renewables, amid soaring prices, and a joint letter. more than $100.00 more makers argue his plans are anti american and absurd, and of called on the biden administration to increase domestic conventional energy production. instead, the criticism comes and projections that heating bills will rocket. if there's colder than normal temperatures this winter. we expect that the nearly half of the us households, that heat primarily with natural gas, will spend 30 percent more than they spent last winter on average,
2:20 am
50 percent more if the winter is 10 percent colder than average. since joe biden took office in january this year, he signed a number of executive orders aimed at moving america away from fossil fuels. construction of the keystone pipeline was halted and oil and natural gas leases on federal lands stopped filling the gap plans for massive wind farm construction projects. the white house has also reportedly reached out to american oil and gas companies, asking them to help a lower fuel prices as to spike back in june oil drilling leases, previously approved by donald trump. and one of alaska's national reserves being suspended by team biden. and the president commented on that last week. flask is pretty big, is an awful lot we need to protect. but that's why i'm working to protect bristol bay for money, not for issues that were threatening one of the world larger salmon. that's where i'm refusing to sell off the arctic national wildlife reserved for oil and gas.
2:21 am
well, economist or peter, earl believes biden's energy policy is driven mostly by ideology and shows little regard for the well being of ordinary people. when power power is variable upon locations inefficient and solar, pow power is more expensive than coal gas or oil. and, you know, the big issue there a storage problem. so even if it works, it's hard to store that amount of energy, the idea of biden, and by the mysteries about him are groups that the way to green a world requires shutting off fossil fuels over night. and subsidizing spectra projects is just just absurd. the gasoline us was $2.69 between january 2016 generate 202110 months is risen almost 40 percent to $3.00. pretty much such if, if what's happening now continues unabated, it'll definitely become a drug on growth and possibly refers to recovery. we saw from the cobra policies in march and april 2020. and that,
2:22 am
that crushed the middle class. it will increase poverty. it could bring about the stag, placing area conditions that we saw in the seventy's. i mean, the policies are divided, ministration are not informed or, or driven by economic science or historical precedent. their approach like brussels, is purely ideological, which means that even if you could predict negative outcome, such as somebody said, was scarcity causing rides and prices. they implement them anyway. you know, the story goes further right now. it r c dot com, just click on the america section. well, thanks for joining us here with a live program from moscow on this saturday morning. 9 22 am. we are back with more . that'll be at the top of the ah, ah, but also for eric room identify 2 types of freedom, freedom, roman freedom too. and while we all idealize the lisa achieving the former,
2:23 am
the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age. this is especially true for africa, which for centuries has been exploited under all sorts of pretext. what needs to happen with the continent to truly take its deserve place in the world. a beautiful, chilled ocean was time on what it was, the middle of august all sto, delica would have been slokum noise to utilize a freshman would teach. don't. don't love. would you think that that would because if that's something you would prevent them with the cool got that's message for me to send over your properties was for what fin the but on with the feel for years. right. what that to the,
2:24 am

2:25 am
a movement. we are importing from america. know nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where white lives mattered. and i was not wise. like missing. and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to white this. aboriginal people here law every day. we're out loaded system. now with the police were out war with. she speaks, i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are the shallow friends in daycare 3 rows of us to play, but also within the daniel people are little fish. but i live else with the rest of
2:26 am
the basilica. thought about that because more used to live with. 3 just needed. yeah. it was, i just would say the game and then you would get that is images. it goes up was good for supposedly good. my did some i would say again to spend music. his image is filica mom, but that's what your phone was out of. see to get the vote if i give all of your rooms planted some way up. all of the bella is ready to leave you to the shelter worship with ah ah, [000:00:00;00]
2:27 am
ah, i'm ash sooner town senior watching a very special episode, a going underground, an interview with the u. s. h. former un ambassador president donald trump's national security advisor, john bolton. he joins me now from washington. d. c. at his memoir, about his time in the white us, the room where it happened is out. now, that master, thanks so much for coming on her. if it cottage news coming from a conduce in kandahar, you're actually the 2nd national security advisor of donald trump to be on going underground. you say in your book the room where it happened, the afghanistan deal that's trumps one time will prove who is right. and the full extent to the deal may not become apparent until after trump leaves office. what is
2:28 am
your assessment as a former national security adviser of fee by did ministration, the foreign policy, especially on afghanistan? well, i think this is one of those few instances where bind and trump agree on on policy both wanted to get out of afghanistan at both the ignored the consequences. i think many people thought were foreseeable, what biden did was take trumps deal out, which was flawed. in many, many respects and essentially adopted it as is on policy, disregard of the advice senior advisers and the pentagon state department, the white house. and i think the consequences have been plain to say that returned afghanistan to control by the taliban and everything. and so far from that, including the likelihood of foreign terrorist returning and again using afghanistan is a base to plan terrorist operations around the world. so this is a retreat by the united states, from the international stage,
2:29 am
something by and believe then since at least 2009. so i say, ironically, trump believe dana to, i think it's a mistake for the u. s. i think it's a mistake for well, still a certainly it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan. well in fact, as trumps, feel the date of a withdrawal was may the 1st you don't think that makes any difference. now look, i think all by and did was extended a couple months and it showed how, how little planning had been done, either by the trump administration or by for the execution to withdraw itself. and i should note my own polling on this subject, i think affirms what other people have observed. that while at the beginning, many people said the withdrawal itself was executed poorly and no question about that. but it's caused them to rethink the consequences, the withdrawal itself, the return of taliban to power. the greater risk of terrorist attack, obviously calls into question the legitimacy of the withdrawal of decision. fundamentally,
2:30 am
i think people now realize we are less secure after the withdrawal than we were before the withdrawal. you said that biden changed in that answer in a way. what do you, i mean, he said when he was helping to confirm you at the state department, to anyone, my disagreements with you that you are to competent? i wish you were ambassador. i was. you are dumb to get a bit of shorted you. you're competent and honorable, what do you think the president meant by the now president meant by that? i think i took it as a compliment to sort of a backhanded compliment to be sure, but the look i, i've been on the opposite side of joe biden on almost every major question in foreign policy for a long time. and i think that was a recognition. we disagreed and they didn't have the usual politics, personal destruction issues. they could go after me on so they had to try something else. i don't think is going to a point. you had national security adviser anytime soon. wrapped the top objective in your, in your book as regards afghanistan,
