9:02 am
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 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 983, making him one of the longest standing m p. 's in government. now he was a big voice in many campaigns, not least the breakfast 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, the prime minister. he was one of the kindest, nicest, those gentle people in politics. and he also had an outstanding record of
9:03 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 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, 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 tragedy for them. it's horrible reminder of the very real
9:04 am
risks 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 a frequent guest here on our team where he shared 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 hobbs elected on the same day in 1983. is this gentleman we need to have a government who know what they're doing. i don't mind hard work and in fact the irony is it would go back to the size of constituents i had when i used to represent basildon, i don't think is anything to do with party politics and the number of seats to david. thanks for speaking to us. the european union is challenging its own member states over the way they are pushing back migrants trying to enter the block. in the latest development, the you home affairs commissioner summoned to the envoys from 3 eastern states,
9:05 am
calling the situation on their borders. dire ortiz, charlotte davinsky has more b, e, you is having to hang its head in over the way its board of forces on treating my grants just trying to cross into the block. this is no longer just about fortress europe, an extensive fence building and surveillance systems that are being put in place on eastern board as know in recent weeks, more concerning incidents over the way that my grants are treated to have been exposed in croatia, 3 border police offices have been suspended of to being filmed violently pushing back people at the buddha. mm. and that's not just confined to croatia. greek border offices are also subject to
9:06 am
investigations over hundreds of cases of alleged push backs. mm. now in lithuania, mo, violations have been reported. the news on 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 in with you. ania le gary went on to say the reason was down to how lithuanian law was being interpreted and the question was, was compatible with e you legislation? now lithuania is currently a hot spot for migrant crossings. now lithuania is interior minister says my grants
9:07 am
have to enter at certain points. we have taken decisions in our national laws that one can only until a few ania through a legal way that is through a border check point, or by filing their request with our embassy. but these are 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 sion game, borders 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 solid reports had to long line of reports, an unacceptable normalization of push backs, violin spirits, 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 migraines,
9:08 am
refugees being beaten robe mistreated and forced back over the eastern board is illegally unknown. oh, nor have a blue particularly happening in sequence, leaving many to believe that the you itself may have essentially been complicit for not having already taken more concrete action. all this to, to one, to promote to a very broad moder. we've opened society in the past. they want you to legalize immigration more, and this surely if for, if they are refugees, are back to population or are hostile to any more or to more immigration. and this is why you were re left to demonstrate to that, to eat. it promotes you was strong or actor extraordinary, board us. otherwise the nation are both us will be more and more erected and
9:09 am
strength friend like you're like can you home, gary? this is the trends, more immigration is, is seen as a security problem because of islamist implement crating. so it's more and more sensitive. subject is suicide bombing at a mosque in afghanistan has left almost 50 people dead and dozens injured. the terrorist group isis k has claimed responsibility for the attack in kandahar and a bit of a warning you may find the falling images, disturbing, explosions ripped through the sheer mosque during friday prayers when a large crowd of worshippers was gathered inside. the taliban gun says that it has launched an investigation. i witnesses described seeing for suicide bombers. the explosion happened when we were at afternoon pres into suicide. bomb is 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 in sight and blew
9:10 am
themselves up. friday's tragedy came a week after another explosion at a sheer mask in northern afghanistan. at least 50 people were killed and the same extreme as proof isis. kate claimed that attack, as well as all comes amid a rapid security meltdown in the wake of the telephone take over and us. we managed to get some unique insights on afghanistan from a man who served in the bush administration at the time of the us invasion. and later as donald trump's security advisor, john bolton was the guest on ortiz going underground. we will be showing the full interview throughout the day, but here is a previous you say in your book, the room where it happened, the afghanistan deal that 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, a fee by the administration, the foreign policy, especially on afghanistan?
9:11 am
well, i think this is one of those few instances where by and in 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 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 plain to see it returned 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 as 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 then since at least 2009. so i say ironically,
9:12 am
trump believe 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 rushes daily death toll from coven 19 has surged beyond 1000 for the 1st time. since the start of the pandemic and case numbers are rising fast, especially here in the capitol, which is dimitri pollock, brings us more. well, it seems that despite all the efforts by the russian government to try and curve the spread of the corona virus, the numbers unfortunately continue to grow and are even reaching record levels over the last 24 hours. over $33000.00 new cases have been confirmed throughout the country by 9 percent of which were apparently asymptomatic. but a new morbid record was established over a 1000 debts were reported at the highest a number of daily cove deaths. there's been since the start of the pandemic now in terms of the numbers 6 and a half 1000 of the new cases were reported from moscow,
9:13 am
where authorities recently launched 20 new centers where people can get free express covered tests. that's in addition to the vaccination sites throughout the city, which authorities, they are the key to battling the karone of ours. you look where most mass rapid testing is spreading across europe. moscow is also involved in this experiment. we've opened 20 testing points in the capitals documents centers in shopping malls, and we will open 30 more points on october. the 18th to cover the broader population. again, i'm calling on everybody to get to not collated because they are currently no other ways to shield yourself. from this disease, it's especially important for the elderly. now the testing campaign has also sprecher several schools, where students can now also receive the free express covered test. however, authorities say that testing is only the 1st step and that the king re into defeating the crone of ours is of course vaccinations. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly highlighted the importance of boosting the vaccination re throughout the country, especially for the sake of those who are at the highest risk of complications from
9:14 am
the virus. the health ministry has also come out was report showing that of all the people who have died from the virus, only less than a fraction of a percent were actually vaccinated. once again highlighting the importance of vaccinations. in terms of numbers at this point, over 51000000 russians have at least received their 1st jap. that's about a 3rd of the population and regions continue introduce more measures to try and curve the spread of the disease. in some cases, introducing mandatory vaccinations for certain groups of citizens that's injection . and in addition to restrictions, all aimed at trying to curb the rise of numbers and that's throughout the country. still to come on argy international sorting. fuel costs are threatening industries across europe and counting germany to question it's a green transition will be explained that after short breaks they with us, this is our to international ah
9:15 am
9:16 am
street and the whole financier class with oh, come back. this is our t international. now tough, new covered rules are now into their 2nd day in italy and they have been met by strikes protests and transport disruptions, so called green passes, are now mandatory for anyone wanting to enter their workspace. ah, thousands of people gathered in rome on friday, urging the government to scrap the new rules seen as overly harsh under the system . employees have to show proof of vaccination recovery from cove it or
9:17 am
a negative test or go without paying your forty's have defended the system saying it's the best way of preventing further locked downs. but port workers entree asked, which is a key maritime gateway for europe. are threatening to bring the supply chains to a standstill. the government doesn't back down. we heard from somebody to po, faced up for we are here to protest against the green pass for workers. would think that the green pass is an unlawful tool, an improper one that should not be forced upon the workers because it is discriminatory. so we are demonstrating against this government degree. oh, did i not like to del constitution as being trampled on what is happening today? as light back in 1938, when i say no to this discrimination anteriano the last deepening cluster vite, 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 left even more in crisis. those who previously could not make it until the end of the month now find themselves in an average of $200.00 or $300.00 euros less from having to pay for the test. france is
9:18 am
also ramping up the pressure on people to get their covered shots. health passes are now required to enter almost all public places and free pcr tests for the unvaccinated have been scrap. we got reaction from strict pears, 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 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 and safety friends could do this, but it's obviously not ideal,
9:19 am
but i doubt it would last. i think that people would strongly speak out against at home in the for germany is shifted to green energy is under question. amid soaring oil and gas prices, government has decided to scrap attacks 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 years a year, mostly for the construction of wind farms and solar generators, but even with that tax gone, household bills are still likely to go up with natural gas prices close to all time records. the crisis has forced major power companies to suspend contracts for consumers, which would have many people paying well below the market rate. although other firms have simply hiked the prices in one bavarian town bills have shut up by 70 percent. we spoke to some locals. the suddenly the loads of it is getting more and
9:20 am
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 rosen, food prices. people are psychological, a breaking point. my parents and parents in law have a gas boy there for heating. 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 heart . there are 3 or 4 cinderella floods is over 100 meters. that looks like a huge increase. we will be hops, he is 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 increase will definitely affect my everyday life because to the self employed person, i have to be very careful at the moment how i make ends meet you there are on the virus crisis come. when it's all we heard from german financial analyst at fucker,
9:21 am
helmeyer, he thinks of the rush to ditch fossil fuels, has left europe with a major problem. the good 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. that. 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 has led to the current situation. i assume that we will see price increases across the board. you know, the 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, the peak, so it's 68 percent. and in most cases, 10 to 20 percent, we can expect an eating of the situation in spring next year. that's also depends
9:22 am
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. the u. k is one of the country's worst hit by the fuel crisis and a billionaire, jim radcliffe, who had a major chemicals firm is warning that it could cause an industrial shut down. and while oil and gas prices should up, there's also another headache, an acute lack of truck drivers. the british governments now relaxing visa rules for you, drivers and a bid to bring back some of the thousands who left after briggs in. the shortage has throttled supplies to petrol stations and supermarkets and brought freight to a standstill as well as the major ports. but chancellor richie sooner consists everything is under control. well i tell people, be reassured that we're doing everything we can to mitigate some of the challenges
9:23 am
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 further, who runs a company making wine storage systems. he broke down the factors now threatening industries across the u. k. so i think we were fighting at the moment. did you? market is perfect. so we've got 3 factors coming together. we've got the lingering impacts of 19 of the past 18 months and the various closures of golf industry and on the nature of locked down, we've got the ongoing impacts and challenges administrative. the complexities of offerings in terms of employ, export bringing goods into the market. and when you bring in the 3rd factor, which is the availability of to take wind where we're interested in wind and all
9:24 am
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 getting it in the country by frank set. and you've got the delicate recovery phase industry. i think that's what's causing such a challenge over in the u. s. the green transition is also hitting road blocks. republicans are calling on president biden to rethink his policies on renewables, amid soaring prices in a joint letter. more than 100 lawmakers argue his plans are anti american and absurd, and have called on the biden administration to increase domestic conventional energy production. instead, the criticism comes amid projections that heating bills will rocket if there's colder than normal temperatures this winter expects that the nearly half of the us households, that heat primarily with natural gas,
9:25 am
will spend 30 percent more than they spent last winter on average, 50 percent more if the, when to is 10 percent colder than average. since joe biden took office in january this year, he has 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 lower fuel prices. that's despite back in june oil drilling lease as previously approved by donald trump in one of the last national reserves being suspended by team biden. the president commented on that this week. flask is pretty big, it's an awful lot we need to protect. but that's why i'm working to protect bristol bay for money, not perish. that would threaten one of the world's largest salmon. that's where i'm
9:26 am
refusing to sell off the arctic national wildlife reserved for oil and gas. economist peter, earl believes biden's energy policy is driven mostly by ideology and shows a little regard for the well being of ordinary americans. when power is variable upon locations inefficient and so about our ours is, is, is more expensive than coal, gas, or oil. and, you know, the big issue there, a storage problem, i mean, even if it works, it's hard to store that amount of energy, the idea of biden, and by demonstration to buy them a groups that the way to greener world requires 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 july 20. $21.00 in 10 months is risen almost 20 percent to $3.21. if, if what's happening now continues unabated,
9:27 am
it'll definitely become a drug on growth and possibly refers to recovery. we saw from the public policies in march and april, 2020, and out of that debt across the mill class, it will increase 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, of purely ideological which means that even if you could predict negative outcomes such as selling us, it was scarcity causing lodging prices. they implement them anyway. your watching art international, stay with us. ah . but i make no sense, you know, borders and is like 2 nationalities
9:28 am
and you as a merge, we don't have authority. we don't have a vaccine, whole world leaves to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great with the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with oh, also for eric from identify 2 types of freedom, freedom, roman freedom too. while we all idealize the lesser achieving the former,
9:29 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 for the continent to truly take its deserve place in the world? ah, it doesn't so much basically, but i feel that believe go, he did. who bought? i bought a dial tomorrow, a couple of reviews on your quote, but i think all additions to athletes and movies. does the musicals? does it seems every big name in the world has been here? let's see. are copa, ms. euclid corpus christi school. ah, what do i say budget when you get the calls that i need to use with what does not give me
9:30 am
a glove you spoke with said basil makes dreams come true that every one who falls in love with people like mm with this is been by phone business or you can't afford to mess, i'm rachel, blah. and i've been one in washington and coming up big coins price, the surgeon as optimism over a possible e t f is rising. we discuss whether the fcc will step in and how it could impact the future of the world's largest crypto currency.
