a terrorist. ah, bring you all your latest news stories. this is our to international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome rushes, pulling the plug on its permanent mission to nato. the suspension of its operations is set to take place in 2 weeks. it comes in response to the alliance recently, kicking out a number of russian diplomats for legit espionage. nato is since said. it's open to dialogue, but it's policy towards russia won't change and with the alliance will respond to aggression. ortiz roman coaster has more russian foreign minister made the announcement on monday, saying that says, starting on november. first, moscow will completely suspend the operations of its mission to nato, and from now on any emergency communications between the u. s. lead block and

russia will be done through the russian embassy in belgium, while an ambassador of fun, nato member states in moscow chosen by the alliance, can perform similar functions here in russia. so this guns, just 2 weeks after nato announced that it would expel 8 russian diplomats for a legend, undisclosed espionage at its brussels headquarters. and that should be in effect on the 1st of november as well. well, according to the russian foreign ministry, it became yet another move on nato's behalf to use the so called russian threats as a unifying factor for the alliance. and another reason to remain in international demand is here from the russian foreign minister. newkirk will, will you soon you put a chill. 0 explanation was given for the expulsions. and the few days before the announcements we met with mister stoughton bug in new york. he stressed that nicer had a sincere interest to normalizing relations with russia. so as to de escalate tensions

on the european continent what we weren't particularly surprised by the decision, what is it all confirms that nicer is uninterested in equal dialogue or joint work . sir dale ever of added that the nato information bureau and moscow will also be shut down as a result. why? meanwhile, the nato international secretary, it has already been notified and the russian foreign ministry statement added that, sir. it is not expecting any shift in relationship with nato in the near future. independent journalist lucrative a believes nato wants to show its strength and that won't be a good thing if the situation worsens. is not a new cold war. it is not the end of the relations, they're all to channels compasses for example. so they can still continue talking and they will. but of course, russia needed to show its displeasure at the fact that diplomats are cold intelligence officers. and 8 of them are pushed out. okay, this is the normal,

difficult relations between the alliance and russia. but something more important is that on nato has been very unpleasant in its declarations for several years now . and i would say that if the situation is degrading, it's mainly to nato. why? because nato is looking for something to do since the wall. so factors disappeared in that ninety's and the soviet union has disappeared. there is no actual reason from nato and the north atlantic defense to be there. so on the even day went to afghanistan to iraq, to train forces that still at the limits of territory that they cover. but now they, there were speaking recently of indo pacific activities, fun, eto rushes, taken a major step forward and readying the nord stream to pipeline to pump natural gas to millions of european homes. the 1st of 2 sections has now been filled to the

required level of pressure and work is currently underway to fill the rest of the network, which links russia to germany via the baltic sea. the pipeline still needs final approval from german regulators. comes to europe is gripped by an energy crisis with gas prices recently at record breaking levels. much of the media has been pointing the finger at russia for that despite moscow honoring its gas contracts and promising to boost supply ortiz charlotte uminski reports. well, more concern here in the you over a possible winter crisis because of this increasing cost in energy, particularly gas, so much so that the ease own labor commissioner is warning that this winter, many more people could be pushed into fuel poverty. there are already millions of people suffering from energy poverty, and that number could increase the commission could help e u. countries to limit the effects of the current high energy prices on people.

but it was primarily up to national governments to take action. already we understand that around 2700000 households across the block are facing difficulties in reasonably heating that home. and those are individuals who are in jobs at the moment. so that figure doesn't include pensioners. it doesn't include students and it doesn't include the unemployed to the actual figure is far higher than that. and while some e member states have already taken measures to try and shield the most vulnerable form, these price increases. other politicians are rather looking to point the blame elsewhere, and the finger is wagging towards russia with many saying that russia is responsible for this crisis that been countless i magazine articles, debates on tv and radio, and even front covers all suggesting this just like this recent front cover in germany on the focus magazine are, which says that putin, his cast off energy to germany, that a, he's waging

a war and he's raising the prices using gas as a weapon. well, that has baffled some in germany, including the countries outgoing chancellor anglo merkel. who is not somebody known to min, so words says this good kiner to my knowledge there are noses russia has said we will deliver it to you, especially not with regard to the pipeline in ukraine. russia can only deliver gas on the basis of contractual obligations. and not just only like at the moment russia supplies around 50 percent of the use gas in doing the pandemic that did taper off a little bit. but when it said that the supplies are back to normal at the moment, and there were some, unless you say, you know, this is nothing to do with russia. this is all a problem that is, be made by the e. u itself until a few years ago. the european energy market was very stable, characterized by 10 to 15 year gas contract with russia. but then brussels wanted

to introduce more flexibility with fuel long term contracts to reduce its dependence of russian. got that by increasing price volatility and feeding the current crisis, or that decision has seen companies having to via the gas on the open market, meaning that they've been in competition with other markets such as the asian market. and it's just not that that some see is the problem. others have pointed the idea towards the fact that the e u is pushing too fast, too hard to move to green energy sources at the same time. it's not done enough to get those sources working while it's been aggressively shutting down gas fields domestically. and it's been taxing heavily carbon fuel power station, all of which, which is contributed to this issue. so possibly not as sexy is pointing the blame russia and saying that president putin is waging a war on europe. but it does seem as if that is the reality of many of the problems

that europe is facing ahead of this possible winter of discontent. earlier my colleague unit o'neill spoke to journalist and author thomas fast, bender, who believes it's mostly the media playing the blame game against russia. this part offer of you can all already say it vendettas into russian vendetta that has been going on building up in germany. certain german media over the past 2 years, and it is really bordering on the observed because the same media who are for years maintained the position that we don't need a 2nd pipeline north stream and that the board exceed we don't need any more ration . guess the u. s. will supply us with their freaking guests, l. n g at ample volumes. now they are throwing the lame game at russia, and they're really being offended. why doesn't russia?

why doesn't gas from supply us with more gas? yeah. so that's why i say it's, it's sort of absurd here. instead of asking, why doesn't the u. s. suppliers with more el and gee, we heard as well. tell us the e, you labor commissioner warning of energy, poverty align that we're hearing quite a bit recently. and because of an already difficult situation for millions of people at high prices, it is the worst yet to come. in your opinion, it is still going to get worse because the situation as such is absolutely serious for 2 reasons. um, word economy did not expect the year to, to pick up speed as soon as it, as it does after the corona crisis. plus you repeat guess suppliers or bias of russian and other guests. her volumes did not expect. i did not feel up after the cold winter did not fill up their reserves. probably they expected a 2nd after it rather, luggage corona year. where doesn't which dream to come into that. here we have the

observed situation that people her, that her european con, guessed consumers, sa, fonda, i guess prizes that we have an additional volume of 55000000000 cubic meters per year, which is physically installed. the licenses are not yet given for g. political reasons . there is a fight against giving the licenses, so there is a jew political lobby who fights against getting this additional volume on, on the line. while at the same time, gast consumers, in europe, a mate victim, sir, have to suffer because of geopolitical interests of some of their governments. it is observed is the 2nd time i use this word observer that we have this edition of on actually rushes is filling the gas pipeline with guess physically, the pipeline with gas for the 1st time right now. so if, if of course, western governments, german government would ease the licensing process, now this could be online, available for consumers in

a couple of months of weeks or months. but she could geopolitical interests of fighting against that. us, his top envoy to afghanistan has tenured his resignation tendered his resignation. rather that's less than 2 months after the country's chaotic military withdrawal from the country. it also comes as the u. s. inspector general has reportedly launched an investigation into america's pull out from the country. and now for more information we go live to our correspondent in, in, in new york, caleb mop and hey caleb, this can't exactly come as much of a surprise given the nature of the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan. cannon. sure. zach may colorado who is the top us ambassador to afghanistan from what we understand is stepping down. he will be resigning and he will be replaced by deputy envoy thomas west. that's what we understand, according to us, secretary of state antony blinking. now it's important to keep in mind that it's

all my call is odd, had quite a record. he oversaw the negotiations with the taliban. that took place in cutter, leading up to the dough ha agreement with the taliban. that took place under the trump administration. well now he is out now it's also important to note that reports indicate that the inspector general of the us state department will be opening an investigation into the nature of various aspects of the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan. there will be a look by diana shaw, the state department acting inspector general. she informed the congress that she will be looking into the special immigrant visa program. the afghans that were processed for refugee admission to the united states, the resettlement of those refugees. and these are recipients, as well as the emergency evacuation of the u. s embassy in cobble,

all of that is going to be looked into by the inspector general of the us state department. now this is just the latest fall out in the continued outrage and frustration across the political spectrum in the united states related to the k arctic pull out of afghanistan. as we recall, there were instances of people dying at the airport hanging off of planes. you had the situation where billions of dollars of us military equipment was left behind, possibly ending up in the hands of the taliban. furthermore, all this culminated in the disastrous bombing that happened at the airport. so many are looking on and wanting answers and hoping that this inspector general investigation might provide some insights into what exactly went wrong as frustration with the biden administration around this issue. continue. archie's caleb mop. and given us the rundown of that story, thank you very much. and staying in america after being tortured and held

captive for 17 years, a pakistani national has finally been cleared for release from america's guantanamo bay. prison. however, being cleared doesn't actually mean he walks free and it's all happening despite washington admitting that he should have never been detained in the 1st place. murat gazda of explains mohammed rabbani is one of guantanamo bayes, longest serving inmates 17 years and one month he has been locked up in git mo, by all accounts, innocent, never charged with any terror related offenses. never bore to trial. once a taxi driver, his crime was that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. on september, the 10th 2000 t, pakistani authorities arrested 2 individuals believe to be has ankle and his driver outside the apartment complex by september, the 11th 2002, it was determined that an individual named mohammed, ark mat, glamour,

bonnie or sinners, abu bader, and his driver were arrested and not ass and go. the awful irony here is that the real her son gold bin laden's messengers, he's known who rabbani was mistaken for was captured and handed over to the c i a in 2004. he was later released in 2007 went back to his old ways and was killed in a drone strike. and still mohammed rabbi the is serving someone else's time in guantanamo the years. and the president came and went. they admitted that the arrest was a case of mistaken identity, and yet he is still there. guantanamo is all about lies, hypocrisy and broken promises. they promised me that they might let me out for a review of my detention, but that came to nothing. you can almost track his tragedy in released cia and

pentagon documents. he was initially tortured at the salt pit, and atoria see i jail in afghanistan where terrible things were done to inmates to extract confessions. rashadi was allegedly identified as the man mentioned in several cia torture memos who was hung by his wrists in arm chains and who attempted to amputate his own hands to stop the pain being cleared for released may be a personal victory for him. but in practice, in bond on him, obey that doesn't mean anything. one of my clients, homes, hotel california at me, you can check out, but you can never leave for men. are stu there though? they were cleared over 10 years ago, but at least we're now going to be arguing about when he should go home rather than whether, what little joy and hope there is to be had. this is knowing that he has a son waiting for him. a son who was born after his arrest and about whom he only

found out when the boy was 6 years old. just imagine life would be like for your family without your father. just imagine what it would be like if your father was at guantanamo, how could they ruin 20 years of someone's life? there is no way of knowing when the e for a body will be released and what he will make of a world of a life that he was deprived of by mistake. the scars from torture, the, the trauma from long years of isolation, the stigma of being a guantanamo inmate will always stay with her body as will memories of the war and terra's churning merciless military bureaucratic machine that even upon realizing its mistake, took years to correct it former us secretary of state colin powell has died at the age of 84, although he was fully vaccinated. pal's immune system was weakened by cancer

treatment and he died from complications from cove it as his family said in a statement. he was one of the most prominent figures in u. s. polk. paula politics for many years serving under multiple presidents throughout his long career appointment to the secretary of state in 2001 pallet became the 1st black person to serve in the post. the 4 star army general also had held the highest military position in the u. s. first, under george bush senior, there were controversial moments in his tenure at the forefront of american political life as well. perhaps most notably his 2003 address to the united nations pol, made the case for the us invasion of iraq holding up a vile of white powder to insinuate that the country had weapons of mass destruction. he was widely accused of telling the assembly, misleading tales and outright lies and of citing fabricated intelligence. he is survived by his wife and 3 children still ahead. a former researcher at google accuses the tech giant of racial bias in its algorithms. she reveals it all to

ortiz going underground after the break lamp her. ah ah . join me every posted on the alec saline. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess from

the world of politics. spoke business, i'm show business. i'll see you. then. there are growing indications that washington isn't finished with afghanistan just yet military involvement has come to an end, but not engage. also, we were told there is an energy crisis. maybe this is part of the great ah, welcome back to the program. now, a former co leader of google's ethical a i research team has accused the tech giant of ramp and surveillance, and of specifically targeting ethnic minorities to minute gabriel left google last year she says she was fired for writing an article, exposing racism in the tech giant's algorithms. google though insists that she

herself resigned and gay bruce spoke to ortiz going underground. where airing that full interview throughout the day. but here's a short excerpt from it. what is on this vehicle? it, there's lots of a sudden i think, call right a lot of of a p eyes that sell automate automated facial and that is tools we showed that they were much there. they had much higher error rates for darker skinned women than lighter skinned men. this is with notion. yeah, yeah, and that's spurred a lot of movement because a lot of people have been worried about surveillance related technology anyway. so that spurred a lot of movement to ban some of these at the use of some of these technologies by law enforcement, because they're mostly used to surveil a lot of marginalized communities. and so for me, that's unethical, a palestinian, he wrote good morning on facebook, and it was translated to attack them. and people didn't even see the

initial, didn't check to see what he initially wrote. they wrote, they saw the translation and they arrested him. so this was a google translate era, this was, this was a facebook, a underlying technology of large language. did they all use large language model? so what we were saying was sometimes when you have machine translation, you get these cues when you have when, when you have errors, right? you can see that the grammar is not quite right. you can see that something is wrong. but with these large language models, you can have something that sounds so fluent and coherent, and it's completely wrong. so you only with these companies. but why would these companies visiting? there's no malice there. there's a mistake in the algorithm and in the, in the software engineering, why would they seek to minimize the publicity given to papers that showed

these areas so that they could, you know, i went in, i would disagree that there is no malice, these large language models consume a lot of compute only the people with these kinds of huge compute powers. are going to be able to use these large language models. and that leads to what we talked about as being environmental reasons that people who benefit from large language models are not the people who are paying the cost. some of the biggest joint military drills in recent years have kicked off in the republic of took a stand there part of this year's planned exercises by the collective security treaty organization. the location for the drills on the tragic afghan border was no coincidence with the region still tensed in light of recent events in afghanistan, reporting from the scene. here's ortiz acres, donna, some 4000 troops, 500 military vehicles, and 6 nations,

all participating in day one. of what expected to become one of the most impressive and large scale military drills taking place here in the steps of a country that is sharing a more than a 1000 kilometer long border with of garrison. tajikistan is a former soviet republic, now operating under the umbrella of the collective security treaty organization, a rush, a lead, military alliance. the war games there will span out over the course of the week. ahead. and while the 1st day has been quiet, there's plenty of action to come. certainly, judging by previous drills, the location for the games. just 8 kilometers away from the border with

a canister is not a coincidence. when the taliban grabbed power in cobble things got tense on this side of the border. when islamic states started to take advantage of the power vacuum, it got even more serious generals do not shy away from openly saying who the show is for. which in your midst this location for the drills has been chosen according to the practical tasks, the armies have to do. we choose with several rules in mind. firstly, we go by the logic, the more you sweat and peace, the less you bleeding was creating realistic conditions on drills helps armies to prepare for the real action. the real sites under the real conditions. it's a situation that is going to need some heavy duty war gaming and sure enough, over the next few days, pretty much all you hear here is the sound of every kind of gunfire imaginable. i'm a gosh, darn of reporting from tajikistan party. that's all for this hour. if you'd like to

herman by address shaped by frontier. so those things in, in there's things we dare to ask gives rise to the question about these crises and who's behind them. we had the sub prime crisis that resulted in many printing that made the top get richer. we have to call the crisis, which has resulted in the top getting richer because of all the money printer. and

we had a war in afghanistan go on for decades, which resulted in money printing in the top get richer, you know, and, and, and then you can get into the other, you know, into some other areas as well, really making some hard, making hard question. ah a game. so would they say, why did you burn down the community? why do you harm down your own neighborhood? it's not our. we don't own anything. we don't own anything. there's a social contract that we all have. but if you feel or if i feel,

then the person who is the authority comes in and they fix the situation with a partner who picks? is it the to wait in a contract? when you go, that's industry thinking about you broke the contract for bar 100 year, now we play our game. i bill your well with i'm just trying to get burned to the ground and it still wouldn't be enough and they are lucky that what black people are looking for as a quality and not revenge that are, that are very pleasing about it. i get receipt and on like a man died.
