a very warm welcome to you. this is asi international. so the horrific killing of a british politician has been now declared a terrorist incident. 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 murder ortiz at shadier edwards, dashti reports or conservative. and he said, david amos has died following a multiple, stopping during a constituency surgery meeting at 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
6:02 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 seats since 997, 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 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
6:03 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 are now calling for more security unsafe protocols for members of parliament in britain, especially considering the really chilling sim lara tease to the murder of jo 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 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 no tragedy for them on to terrible reminder of the very real risks
6:04 am
that they face in the jobs of a normal friday turns very hiring and very violent indeed, and a much investigation is now underway. david amos was in fact a frequent guest hero and t, where he showed 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. as 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 nice 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 the european union is challenging its own member states over the way that pushing back migrants trying to enter the block and the latest development. so that you home a fast commission or someone. the envoys from 3 eastern states calling the
6:05 am
situation on their borders. dia, here's our correspondent charlotte to ben sky. 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. ah and that's not just confined to croatia, greek border officers are also subject to investigations over hundreds of cases of
6:06 am
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 migrant have to enter at certain points. we have taken decisions in national laws that one
6:07 am
can only until su ania through a legal way that is through a boarded check point. oh, by filing their request with our embassy. 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 cools, are now coming from the highest ranks for action. shocking finding salad 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. half words, yet all they to little too late. these allegations of migrants,
6:08 am
refugees being beaten rob to mistreated and forced back over the ears. eastern board is 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 his surely e for e v are refugees, are but to population or are hostile to any more or to more immigration. and this is why you were we left to demonstrate that to eat it promotes you were 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
6:09 am
like, can you, hungary, this is the trends. more immigration is seen as a security problem because of islamist in 50 crating. so it's more and more a sensitive subject. a suicide bombing at a mosque in afghanistan has left at least 40 people dead, dozens more injured at the terrorist group. isis k has claim responsibility for the attack in kandahar awarding. you may find some of the following images disturbing, as we understand explosions ripped through the sheer mosque during friday prayers. when a large crowd of worshippers was gathered inside. the taliban government says it is invested, eating. eye witness is described seeing for suicide bombers. oh, the explosion happened when we were at afternoon prayers in 2 suicide bombers wanted to come inside our gods. confronted them at the door, the crashes began, and our gods kill 2 of them. but the other 2 suicide bombers went inside and blew themselves up. friday's tragedy came
6:10 am
a week after an explosion of another sheer mosque in northern afghanistan. at least 50 people were killed in the same extreme. his group isis k claim responsibility. now this all comes amid a rapid security meltdown in the wake of the taliban takeover. and of course the out of the us pull out as well. or we manage to get some unique insights on. i kind of get us down, i should say, from one man who served in the bush administration at the time of the u. s. invasion and later became donald trump security advisor, john bolton. he was a guest on artes going on the ground will be showing the full interview all day long hero naughty international. you say in your book the room where it happened, the afghanistan deal, and 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 adviser of the by the administration, a foreign policy, especially on afghanistan? well, i think this is one of those few instances where biden and trump agree on on policy
6:11 am
both wanted to get out of afghanistan and both ignored the consequences. i think many people thought were foreseeable when 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 see it returned to afghanistan to control by the taliban, and everything that's flowing from that, including the likelihood of foreign chairs returning and again using afghanistan is based plan terrorist operations around the world. so this is a retreat by the united states from the international stage. something been believed in since at least 2000, i say say ironically, trump waived, and it to i think it's a mistake for the u. s. i think it's a mistake for well stability. certainly, it's
6:12 am
a mistake for the people of afghanistan without the international good to have you with us for the saturday program. so russia's daily death, tolten covert 19, has surged beyond 1000 for the 1st time ether. let's learn more about this right now. crossing live to a correspondent ortiz to retrieve count. now joining us here on the program, a diva. good to see. you can bring us up to speed. what you know so far. yeah, well, so far it seems that despite all the government efforts to try and curve the spread of the corona virus, it seems that unfortunately the numbers continue to rise. in fact, even reaching new records over the last 24 hours, some over 33000 new cases have been confirmed across the country. 9 percent of which were apparently asymptomatic. but a more morbid record was established over a 1000 deaths were confirmed over the past 24 hours making is the highest number of daily coven debts so far throughout this pandemic. now in terms of the new cases, 6 a half 1000 of those new cases were in moscow, where authorities recently opened up 20 new centers where people can get free
6:13 am
express cobra tests. that's of course, in addition to all the vaccination sites, which so yes, already they are the keith of battling the corona virus, through the most mass rapid testing is spreading across europe. moscow is also involved in this experiment. we've opened 20 testing points in the capitals document centers in shopping malls, and we will open 30 more points on october. the 18th to cover the broader population again on calling on everybody to get to not collated because there are currently no other ways to shield yourself from this disease. it's especially important for the elderly now the testing campaign has also reached a number of schools where students can also now get free express covered tests. but as you heard authorities rate, that testing is just one of the steps, the key step to battling the corona virus is of course, vaccination. so russian president vladimir putin as repeatedly highlighted the importance of boosting, vaccination res, especially for the sake of those who are at risk of complications from the virus.
6:14 am
in fact, the health ministry recently backed that up by releasing information that of all the people who have died from the corona, virus, less than a fraction of a percent were vaccinated. basically, meaning that vaccinated people generally don't die from the virus. now in terms of vaccinations overall, at this point 51000000 russians have received at least one part of the jab that's about a 3rd of the population. and that says the regions continue to introduce structure measures to battle the spread of the disease. ah, in fact introducing in some regions mandatory vaccinations for certain groups of citizens. of course, a modern other restrictions all aimed at trying to curb this rise in numbers and deaths, or adults correspondent dmitri poke. thank you. i told to come here on the program on ot international soaring fuel costs to threatening industries across europe, prompting germany. the question is a green transition will be exploring that interest of
6:15 am
ah well the jig is ah, president of a latin merican country armed with volcano energy is calling out the wall street and the whole finance year class. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? ah, 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?
6:16 am
which direction? what is true was is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. oh, good. are you with us with the stuff that i programmed life from moscow? now tough new coverage rules and i'll back into that 2nd day in italy. they've been met with strikes, angry protests and shoes, transport instructions as well. so cold, green pass is now mandatory for anyone who wants to go to work. yeah. thousands of people gathered in rome on friday, urging the government to scrap the new rules seen as overly harsh under the system
6:17 am
. employees have to show proof of vaccination or recovery from covert or a negative test or go without pay authority to defend the system. saying is the best way of preventing further locked downs, but port workers entree asked, which is a key maritime gateway for europe, a threatening to bring supply chains to a grinding standstill if the government doesn't back down. so we went to tree, asked to speak with them hobby's supper base. we're here to protest against the green battle 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 degree. and also today the constitution is being trampled on what is happening today, like by can 938. i say no to this discrimination steeping. clos divide, we're not looking for compensation. both openness and opportunity for reasoning. here we are talking about economic recovery, but whose economic recovery form is less even more in crisis. those who previously
6:18 am
could not make it 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. but it's not just at lee during this. franz is 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 inexplicable reason, free p. c. r tests for the unvaccinated have now been entirely scrapped. so we got reaction on the streets of paris. 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. 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
6:19 am
longer a real democracy. and 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 germany is shift the green energy is under 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 levia counted around 20 percent of the average household energy bill generated billions of years or year, mostly for the construction of wind farms and soda generators. but even without tax now gone, household bills are still likely to go up with natural gas prices close to an old time high. now the crisis has 4 major power companies to suspend contracts for consumers, which would have many people paying well below the market, right. although other firms just decided to just hike up the prices. now in one
6:20 am
bavarian town builds their shop by 70 percent. so we went there to speak to the locals, the resort in the later, but it's getting more and more expensive is going up. and what should the unemployed or those who welfare, and they promise something different. but you have to look at the facts. the winter here is longer than what are people supposed to do. the children are cold in their rooms after corona and rather than food prices. people are psychological or breaking point. my parents and parents in law have a guest 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 have them hard for $3.00 or 4 years, and old sledge is 100 meters. that looks like a huge increase. we was perhaps use the heat unless it will put a strainer on our 1st, and that has to be taken into account. it will definitely have an impact on the household budget. this price increases doesn't laugh at my everyday life because of
6:21 am
the self employed person. i have to be very careful at the moment how i make and mean due to that are on the virus crisis. we heard from a job on a financial analyst folk are hell. maya, he thinks are the rush to ditch fossil fuels. is 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 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 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,
6:22 am
the peak, so it's 68 percent. and in most cases, 10 to 20 percent, we can expect an easing of the situation in spring next year. that's also depends on whether we fixed nor dream to 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. the u. k is one of the countries we're head by the fuel crisis and 1000000000 jim ratcliffe, who had so major chemicals for them is warning that it could cause an industrial shot down. and while oil and gas prices shoot off, there's also another headache. an acute lack of truck drivers and the british governments now relaxing these rules for e u drivers and a bid to bring back some of the thousands who left off the practice. it. the shortage has throttled supplies to petrol stations and supermarkets and brought freight to a standstill at major ports. the chancellor re shoot soon, i consists everything is under control. well i tell people,
6:23 am
be reassured that we've got some of the 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 they will be good provision of goods for everybody. and we are working our way to remove blockages where we can. we spoke with tom barris ford who runs a company making wine storage systems. he broke down the factors now threatening industries all across the u. k. i think we, what we're facing at the moment in the market is a perfect. so we've got 3 factors coming together. we've got the lingering impacts of 19 of 18 months under various closures of industry. and on off nature of locked down, we've got the ongoing impacts and challenges. administrative of the complexities of offerings in terms of employ, export bringing goods into the market. and when you bring in the 3rd factor,
6:24 am
which is the availability of a wind, where we're interested in wind up over the last couple of years, climate impacts have come together to to severely harvests. 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. meantime over in america, the green transition is also hitting roadblocks. republicans, according on president biden, to rethink his policies on renewables and the soaring prices in joint letter. more than 100 lawmakers argue his plans are anti american and absurd, and of called on by them ministration to increase domestic conventional energy production. instead, the criticism comes and projections that heating bills will rocket if, as colder than normal temperatures this winter. we expect that the nearly half of
6:25 am
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. since joe biden took off his in january this year, he's 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 and construction projects where the white house has also reportedly reached out to american oil and gas companies, asking them to lower fuel prices. thus, despite back in june, oil drilling lease is previously approved by donald trump, and one of alaska national reserves was suspended by team biden. the president commented on that this 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, never threatened one of the world larger salmon. that's where i'm refusing to sell
6:26 am
off the arctic national wildlife reserve for oil and gas. economist peter earl believes that 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 ok, excuse me, is, 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 demonstration to buy them in groups that the way to greener world requires shutting off fossil fuels overnight. and subsidizing spec in projects is just just absurd. the average gasoline price us was $2.00. $0.69 between january 2016 july 2021. in 10 months. it's risen almost 20 percent to $3.21. if it what's happening now continues unabated, it'll definitely become
6:27 am
a drug on growth. and possibly refers to recovery we saw from the policies in march and april 2020, and the 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 something, you're supposed scarcity causing rising prices. they implement them anyway. i that's in used cars for this hour here. live from what's going out the international. thank you very much for sharing some of your saturday with us here in the russian capital. my colleague, shawn thomas here at the desk and half an hour time with more of your weekend worldwide headlines. for the meantime though, thanks for joining me. ah
6:28 am
6:29 am
ah, i'm option or town senior watching a very special episode, a going underground, an interview with the u. s. s, former un ambassador president donald trump's national security advisor, john bolton. he joins me now from washington, dc, at his memoir about his time in the white house, the room where it happened is out. now, the ambassador, thanks so much for coming on her. if it carnage news coming from a conduce in kandahar, you're actually the 2nd national security advisor of donald trump to be ongoing 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
6:30 am
your assessment as a former national security adviser of fee by the administration, 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 at what biden did was take trumps dio, which was flawed. in many, many respects and essentially adopted it as his own policy disregarded the advice of senior advisers and the pentagon state department, the white house. and i think the consequences have been plain to say that returned to afghanistan to control by the taliban and everything. and so flowing from that, including the likelihood of foreign chairs returning and again using afghanistan is based plan terrorist operations around the world. so this is a retreat.
