b, o, b source for this, our live on our team, the killing of a long serving british politician is declared a terrorist incident. a david amos was fatally stopped wall meeting his constituents inside the church. the eagle challenger is its own member states of a migrant craft saying violent push backs on boarders may actually be illegal. strikes protests on transport, disruptions. we're seeing pictures here often mandatory cove, good health classes. i met with public fury across italy. ah . like your saturday stories like from moscow,

a very welcome to you. this is audience. so the horrific killing of a british politician has been declared now a terrorist incident, a david amos, a 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 mata, correspondent shantia edwards, dashti reports for 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 the scene. the suspect is 25 years of age, he was arrested and 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, and david amos was $69.00. he spent 4 decades in politics. he currently held his seats since 997, but was a serving m p 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 of 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

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 are now calling for more security unsafe for protocols for members of parliament in britain, especially considering the really chilling sim lara tease 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. a message 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 tragedy for them on to terrible reminder of the very real risk

that they facing the jobs of the normal friday turns. very harrowing and very violent indeed, and a much investigation is now underway. david amos wasn't dr. frequent guessed here on our tea, where he shared his views on various politics in the u. k. joining me now for more on this is conservative m p for south and west said david amos congress election 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 army is it would go back to the size of constituents. so i had when i used to represent them, i don't think it's anything to do with politics, politics, and the number of seats. so david, thanks for speaking to us. earlier, we discussed the implications of the politicians murder and the suspected linked to islam is terrorism. with gas, it follows the terror attacks very recently in norway also

due to islamic motivation and 4 major terrorist attacks in afghanistan. but when you stop murdering and then p n p, you probably be a constituent that you are raising it to a completely different level. because now you're talking about drink, an elected representative in the name of some di ology. and i think that there's no question that the british government is going to have to take a very serious measure. so it's, it's a 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 connections to your, to your constituents?

do we do a better job as far as refugees and ensuring that their backgrounds do we provide more security to the m p 's as well? it is just a travesty of the european union as challenging its own member states over the way that pushing back migrants trying to enter the block. in the latest development, the e u home affairs commission summoned the envoys from 3 eastern states, calling the situation on that borders, dyer artes. charlotte dubin ski has the story. the issue is having to hang its head in over the way its border forces are treating my grants 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

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. 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 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 board, a check point. oh, by filing their request with our embassy. so 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 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 rob to mistreated and forced back over the eastern borders illegally. not new, nor have a pool, 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 pro more, to a volleyball moder. we've opened society in the past,

they wanted to legalize immigration more. and this surely if or if they are refugees or 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 you was strong or extra extra on our board us. otherwise, the national board us will be more and more erected and strength front like you're like, can you, hungary, this is the trends, more immigration is, are seen as a security problem because of islamist in 50 crating. so it's more and more sensitive. subject capacity out here in moscow, a tough new covey rules. and i went to the 2nd day in italy and had been met with strikes, huge protests and major transport disruptions, so called green passes and are mandatory for anyone who wants to go to work.

the thousands of people gathered in rome on friday. the government of scraps, the new rules that is seen as well. they're all seen as overly harsh under the system. employees have to show proof of vaccination or recovery from cove it or a negative test. all go without a authorities have defended the system saying it's the best way to prevent further locked down. port work is in the big port of tree. yes. which is a key, maritime and gateway for europe. they are threatening to bring supply trains to a grinding standstill if the government doesn't back down. so we went to tree s and spoke to some of the best. we are here to protest against the green possible workers. within that, the green pass is an unlawful tool and improve 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 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. well, it's not just italy by any stretch front. there's also ramping up the pressure on people to get their shots. health passes and are required to enter almost all public places. and for some reason, free pcr tests for the unvaccinated have now been scrapped. so we got a reaction on the streets of paris. no want only get to making the health bus compulsory in france for 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. i focus it, 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 vac label in france, which lumps everyone together and further divide society on french democracy is no longer a real democracy on when we're obliging people to get vaccinated under the pretext of everyone's house and safety friends could do this. it's obviously not ideal, but i doubt it would last. i think that people would strongly speak out against me in the suicide bombing at a mosque, and i've got to stop has left at least 40 people dead and dozens injured. the terrorist group, isis k, is claim responsibility for the attack in kandahar. i should warn you. you may find the following images disturbing. explosions ripped through the ship most during friday prayers when a large crowd of worshippers were gathered inside. the taliban government says it has launched an investigation. eye witnesses described seeing at least for suicide

bomb. the explosion happened when we were at afternoon praise. when 2 suicide bombers wanted to come inside, our gods confronted them at the door, the crashes began, and our gods killed 2 of them, but the other 2 suicide bombers went inside and blew themselves up. fridays, tragedy came a week after an explosion, not another mosque in northern afghanistan, at least 50 people were killed in the same extremist group, isis k claim that attack and is all cumbersome at a rapid security meltdown in the wake of a taliban takeover. and of course, out of the us pull out as well. we managed to get some rather unique insights on afghanistan from a man who served in the bush administration at the time of the u. s. invasion. and later as donald trump security advisor, john bolton was the guest donati is going underground, will be showing the full interview throughout the day. but for now, just a small 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. what is your assessment as a former national security advisor, 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 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 trumps 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 say, return to 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 a retreat by the united states, from the international stage, something by and believe den, since at least 2009 se, se, ironically trapped to waive dana to i think it's a mistake for the u. s. make, it's a mistake for stability. certainly it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan. plenty also to come here on the program on our teeth. we have entering into the 2nd half of the saturday program. a soaring fuel costs are threatening industries all across europe. now, even prompting germany to the question is green transition will be exploring that in just a moment. a join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business,

i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us and the deaths will remain in the shallows.

oh, good to join us. what did i say that a program? so germany's shift to green energy is on the question image, soaring oil and gas prices. 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 euros a year, mostly for the construction of wind farms and solar generators. but even without tax gone, household bills are still likely to go up with natural gas prices close to an old time high of the crisis has force major power companies to suspend the contracts for consumers, which would have many people paying well below the market. right? although other firms have simply hiked the prices in one bavarian town bills was shot up by 70 percent. so we went there to speak to the locals. is the suddenly the

light of it is getting more and more expensive is going up and up. what should they unemployed, or those on welfare? do 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 rising foot prices. people are psychological, a breaking point. my parents and parents in law have a gas boy there for he 10. my parents in law have an old house that has not been renovated, therefore they already have very high costs. they cost increase will hit them hard . there are 3 or 4 us and our flood is over 100 meters. what that looks like, a huge increase. we would perhaps use the heat unless it will put a strain on our various. and that has to be taken into account. it will definitely have an impact on the household budget. this price increases will definitely affect my everyday life because of the self employed person. i have to be very careful at the moment how i make answer me due to that are on the virus crisis. come when it, so let me heard from my german financial analyst, so

a full co helmeyer. he thinks 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 facilities were 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 decisions taken by our side as lead 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 breaks in friend, great britain, the, it's more than 100 percent in germany, 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 fixed 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. while the u. k is one of the countries worked hit by the fuel crisis and billy and jim ratcliffe, who had some major chemicals for them is warning that it could cause an industrial shut down. and while oil and gas prices shoot up, there's also another headache, an acute lack of truck drivers. the british governments now relaxing visa rules for your drivers and a bit to bring some of them, some of the thousands, such as they back who may have left off. the breck said the shortage as total supplies to petrol stations on supermarkets and brought freight to a standstill at major ports. but chance to reach you soon, i consists, everything is under control. well, i tell people, be reassured that we're doing everything we can to mitigate some of the challenges they are global in nature. so we can't fix every single problem. don't i feel confident that there will be good provision of goods for everybody and we are

working our way to remove blockages where we can. we spoke with tom baritone, who runs a company making wine storage systems. he broke down the factors now threatening industries across the u. k. i think we, what we're facing at the moment did the market is a perfect. so we've got 3 factors coming together. we've got lingering impacts of 1918 months on the various closures of industry and on off nature of locked up. we've got the ongoing complexities as offerings in terms of employ, export bringing goods into the market. and when you bring in the 3rd factor, which is the availability of a wind, where we're interested in wind up as well over the last couple of years, climate impacts have come together to, to severely harvest. so when you bring those 3 things together, you've got less one available, and you've got a huge logistics,

challenging to get to get into the country by frank set. and you've got the delicate recovery phase for the policy industry. i think that's what's causing such a challenge over in the united states. the green transition is also hitting roadblocks. republicans, according to president biden, to rethink his policies on renewables. and it's soaring prices in a joint letter. more than 100 lawmakers argue as plans are anti american and absurd and of called on the by the ministration to increase domestic conventional energy production. instead of criticism comes and projections that heating bills will rocket affairs 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, 50 percent more if the winter is 10 percent colder than average license terabyte and took off as in january this year, he is assigned 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 though 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 lower fuel prices that just buy it back in june oil drilling leases, previously approved by donald trump in one of alaska 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 perish. now were threatened one of the world larger salmon. that's where i'm refusing to sell off the arctic national wildlife reserve for oil and gas. we spoke with economist peter earl, who believes biden's energy policy is driven mostly by ideology and shows little regard for the well being of ordinary people. when power is variable upon locations

inefficient and solar power power are, excuse me, is, is, is more expensive than coal gas or oil. and, you know, the big issue there, a storage problem. so, i mean, even if it works, it's hard to store that amount of energy. the idea of biden, and my name is tracy. i'm a groups that the way to greener world require shutting off fossil fuels overnight and subsidizing spec and projects is just just absurd. the average gasoline price us was $2.00. $0.69 between january 2016 generate 2021. in 10 months. it's risen almost 20 percent to $3.21. if, if what's happening now continues unabated, it'll definitely become a drag on growth and possibly refers to recovery. we saw from the jacobi policies in march and april, 2020, and out of that dental crust, the middle class, it increased poverty. it could bring about the stagflation area conditions that we saw in the seventy's. i mean, the policies of the by the administration are not informed or driven by economic

science or historical precedent. or approach like brussels is purely ideological. which means that even if you could predict negative outcomes, such as selling a said, was scarcity causing lodging prices. they implement them anyway. i, there are some of your top stories for this ally from moscow and auntie international. thank you for spending some of your saturday with us here in the russian capital. we were turned at the top of the hour with more of your wildlife news headline. mm. ah, ah

ah, with these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushes 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 firms. it is the lawyers. these people have got you want other stories. ottawa can a whistleblower 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 bank

officers that late them to i took the spear it's obscene. these people up nor saw it. also for eric from identify 2 types of freedom, freedom from and freedom to. and while we all idealize the letter achieving the former, 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 a truly take its deserve place in the world with

oh, the little chill touching with on what it says at mid august, we'll start a new slogan, noise to year. beautiful. with fresh. we'll teach. don't. don't love, would you think that that would because if that's something you would provide them with the quote. got that's mitchell percent of your properties was for what fin the baton with what that should look like you with nice seems to them of them when he's got the advice with coding. so we'll just show them for phillip, teach them from from the muse, are kind of what those fast are the same ones. let me use this global. oh gosh.

slate. to bring me as i will continue to won wonderful, scared little squiggly with john creech. if it, what are one, why do you think that us them? i mean, on i, besides that we still do . yeah. i know i, it does the what the nick read over 1st of the ms bent. cuz the city about them went against the brandy. so what was the woodson on the lake? it's a thought 3 for months. if you come find me the corporate. what's the, what the thin wooden chest vasquez of a pro looks to not suing me up with out. exclusive regret that that has some wins that get on them. mia get over lucas, mother. i know that.
