prostate and managed had been taken parts her wrist. ah. you're watching the news announcing international. my name is you lash out. thanks for joining us. russia is putting the plugin. it's permanent mission to nice. her they, 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 alleged spying. nato has since said, it's open to dialogue, but it's policy towards russia won't change on she's roman coarser, has more russian foreign minister made the announcement on monday saying that says, starting on november 1st, 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
9:02 pm
done through the russian embassy in belgium. while an ambassador of fun, nathan member states in moscow chosen by the alliance can perform similar functions here in russia. so this cons, just 2 weeks after nato announced that it would expel a 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 naples 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, nickel will use noun. you put a chill, 0 explanation was given for the expulsions. and the few days before the announcements we met with mister stoughton berg and new york. he stressed that nicer had
9:03 pm
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 is it all confirms that nicer is uninterested in equal dialogue or joint work. sir dale, i were of added that the nato information bureau and moscow will also be shut down as a result. why? meanwhile, the nato international secretariat 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, lincoln revenge, believes nato wants to show his strength, and that won't be a good thing in the situation where essence tis not a new cold war. it is not the end of the relations drop, halted channels, young vassals, for example. so they can still continue talking and they will. but of course, russia needed to show its displeasure at the fact that our diplomats are called
9:04 pm
intelligence officers. and 8 of them are pushed out. okay. versus, you know, the normal, difficult relations between the alliance and russia, but on 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 is mainly due to natal. why? because nato arm is looking for something to do since the warsaw of actors disappeared in the ninety's and the soviet union is disappeared. there is no actual reason for nato and the north atlantic defense to be there. so on the evil day went to afghanistan and iraq to train forces that still at the limit of territory that they cover. but now they, there were speaking recently of indoor pacific activities for nato or has taken a major step forward in reading the nor string to pipeline to pump natural gas to
9:05 pm
millions of european homes. one of 2 sections has now been filled to they required fresh level work is current and a way to fail the rest of the network with links russia to germany by the baltic sea. they pipeline it still needs final approval from german regulators. it comes as europe is grouped by an energy crisis with gas prices recently at a record breaking levels. mitchell, the media has pointed the finger at russia for that despite moscow honoring his gas contract and promising to burn supply. as he is ashanna depends, kate takes had the story. 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,
9:06 pm
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 germany
9:07 pm
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 ads as the script 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 that was at the moment, russia supplies around 50 percent of the use gas. and during 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 has been made by the e. u itself until a few years ago. the european energy market was very stable,
9:08 pm
characterized by 10 to 15 year gas contract with russia. but then brussels wanted to introduce more flexibility with you a long term contract to reduce its dependence of russian gas there 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
9:09 pm
rusher 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. and earlier, my colleague unit o'neill spoke to journalist and author, thomas, a 1st vendor who believes it's mostly the media playing the blame game against russia. this part offer of you can all already say it vendettas and to russian vendetta that has been going on building up in there among german, 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 under the board, dixie. 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 lane game at russia,
9:10 pm
and they're really being offended white doesn't russia? doesn't gas from supply us with more gas. so that's why i say it's, it's sort of absurd here. instead of asking, why doesn't the us suppliers with more el and gee, we heard as well, tell us the e u. 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 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, the word economy did not expect the it to pick up speed as soon as it, as it does after the corona crisis, plus european guests suppliers or bias of russian and other guests of volumes did not expect. i did not feel up after the cold winter did not fill up their reserves
9:11 pm
. probably they expected a 2nd after a rather luggage corona year. where doesn't what stream to come into that. here we have the observed situation that people are that the european con guest consumers suffer under high gas prices. 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 geopolitical lobby who fights against getting this additional volume on, on line. while at the same time, gast consumers in europe are made victim sir, have to suffer because of geopolitical interests of some of their governments. it is observed is 2nd time i use this word observer that we have this edition of on actually rushes is filling the gas pipeline with gas, physical, the paper with gas for the 1st time right now. so if, if of course,
9:12 pm
western governments, german government would ease the licensing process, now this could be online, available for consumers in a couple of months of a week, weeks, or months. but g, a, a geopolitical interests are fighting against that. the us top and voice have gone astonished, stepping down less than 2 months after the countries chaotic militia withdrawal from the country. and subsequent turn about take. however, it also comes as the u. s. inspected channel plans to launch multiple probes into the pullout and secession on diplomatic operations on say, is caleb more pain? has the story the zalman calla zada, the top us representative for afghanistan has been announced to be soon resigning at this point. antony blank and the us secretary of state is confirmed that zach may call us i will be stepping down and he will be replaced with thomas west who is right now serving as a deputy envoy for afghanistan. now z i'll make calla zod,
9:13 pm
has been very key in the events that took place of the last couple years. he oversaw the negotiations between the united states and the taliban. and cutter. that took place under the trump administration, leading up to the doha agreement between the united states and the taliban. this announcement comes as we find out that the inspector general for the state department will be opening an investigation into what went wrong in the pull out of the united states from afghanistan. we understand that diana shaw informed the u. s . congress that she'll be looking into for key areas of the chaos withdrawal of the united states from afghanistan, 1st, the special immigrant visa program. also the afghans process for refugee admission in the united states, resettlement of those refugees visa recipients. as well as the emergency evacuation of the u. s. embassy and cobble this is part of the continuing fall out of the u. s . withdrawal from afghanistan. the world watched, as afghans were dangling from planes,
9:14 pm
billions of dollars and military whitman was left behind, all leading up to that bombing that took place at the airport. a lot of americans want answers about what went wrong. and furthermore, we find out that the outgoing us ambassador for afghanistan, mr. colors dod will be soon to be sharing his thoughts. so he will be opening up about his opinion about what went wrong and what could have done differently. and what could have happened differently in the process of the usa withdrawn from afghanistan, quite a bit of anger across the united states and how the mind, ministration handle things. lot of big questions being asked from both democrats and republicans. we will be anxious to hear what the inspector general has to say, and we'll be also anxious to hear what mr. callas, on, has to say, as he will soon be stepping down from his positions and media, benjamin american, political activist, and co founder code pink does a thing. the scope of the investigation will be wide enough. unfortunately,
9:15 pm
i think the investigations will focus mary, very narrowly on the exit itself, which was absolutely chaotic. will focus on things that need to be looked at like the drones drag that killed as 10 people in a family including 7 children. and when are we going to look at and, and, and try to learn the lessons about invading and occupying other countries. and then i think there is the lesson of how do you leave when a country is dependent for the vast majority of its entire budget on foreign aid, how do you just pull the plug and not expect that there will be either a civil war or there will be a breeding ground for extremist groups like al qaeda and i says, so i would hope that it would not only be backward looking, but forward looking. but i, i don't have great confidence in that. i think one of the most frustrating things for colleagues had was that the corrupt government in afghanistan that the u. s. had supported for all these years was unable to really come to the negotiating
9:16 pm
table and deal with the taliban was unable to form a strong government that had popular support. and now there will be another relationship, but it's unclear. i how this relationship would proceed. now after being tortured and held captive for 17 years, a pakistani national has finally been cleared for release. hallmark is gone tunnel they prison. however, being cleared doesn't actually mean he walks free and it's so happening despite motion to admitting that he should have never been detained. in the 1st place where i'd gas day i've explained mohammed rabbani is one of one time obeys longest serving inmates 17 years and one month he has been locked up in good mo, by all accounts, innocent, never charged with any terror related offenses. never bought a trial once
9:17 pm
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 his ankle and his driver outside the apartment complex by september. the 11th 2002, it was determined that an individual named mohammed ark mad, cool, amber, bonnie: all centers, abil bader, and his driver were arrested and not has angle. the awful irony here is that the real her son, gall 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
9:18 pm
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 view of my detention, but that came to nothing. you can almost track his tragedy in released c i n pentagon documents. he was initially tortured at the sold pit. and atoria cia jail in afghanistan were terrible things were done to inmates to extract confessions. rabbani was allegedly identified as the man mentioned in several cia torture memos who was hung by his wrists in arn chains and who attempted to amputate his own hands to stop. the pain being cleared for release may be a personal victory for him. but in practice, in bond on him obey that doesn't mean anything. one of my clients hems hotel
9:19 pm
california at me. you can check out, but you can never leave for men or soother 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 scholars from talk to the, the trauma from loading is of odd solution. the stigma of being a guantanamo inmates will always stay with her body. as will memories of war and
9:20 pm
terrors chug must phyllis, military bureaucratic machine that he would upon realizing its mistake to p, is to correct it. a former co leader of google's ethical ally research team has a keys, the tech joined of ramp and surveillance, and of success specifically targeting ethnic minorities. timid gabriel loved google last year. she says she was fine and full writing and honest co exposing racism and the tech trends algorithms. google though it says she herself resigned, gave her spoke to all she's going to grant program. and we are airing the full show throughout the day to day. but his f review, what is on ethical ai, there's lots of it said to call right, a lot of a p eyes that sell automatic automated feature. that is tools. we showed that they were much there. they had much higher error rates for darker skinned women
9:21 pm
than lighter skinned men. this is referring to recognition. 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, they used to 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 an ethical, 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 translate here that the underlying technology of large language. they all use large language models. so what we were saying was sometimes when you have
9:22 pm
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 would these lars language models? you can have something that sounds so fluent and coherent and it's completely wrong . so if you are a, with these companies, but why would these companies moving? there's no malice, there is 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, i went in. i would disagree that there is no malice, these large language models consume a lot of compute only the people would 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, racism, that people who benefit from large language models are not the people who are

paying the cost. with the story of alleged anti semitism in germany has griffith the country and a santa a single claim who was asked to put away his stomach day with nicholas in order to tracking to a hotel. however, new liberty security vizier has raised doubts on whether they must discuss claims are true. also is peter own of our reports. this all started back on the 4th of october with musician. and sometime after jill of, sorry, i'm trying to check into the hilton hotel in the german city of leipzig. no, he says he was told he couldn't get into the hotel. he couldn't check in. and he had to put away a star roof. david did he had hanging around his neck. we know about this because after the incident in question mister afar and went outside, took a video on his phone in which he relate an impassioned version of the events. from
9:24 pm
his viewpoint. you see him money. i'm standing here with my chain than someone shout, putting a star david away. he says if i put it away, i can check in. i can't emphasize just how big the story was in the media here in germany. we saw well over 3400000 people, watch the video that mr. far, you posted on social media. in fact, the night after he did that, there was a protest outside of the hotel. hundreds of people coming out to say no to anti semitism. we even had the german foreign minister, high co must give his view on the incident. i am stunned by the anti semitic insult that jill of foreign had to endure. many jews are exposed to this anti semitism every day in our country. leipzig is not an isolated case. on the 12th of october mister afar, him filed a criminal complaint over the incident in leipzig with police in munich. now fast
9:25 pm
forward to the weekend, just gone and the press here in germany have gotten a hold of cctv footage from just outside of the hotel as well as in the hotel lobby . and it's clear certainly from the lobby footage that there is an altercation of some kind going on. there is no sound to the video that is being seen. so we can't tell a certain one way or the other whether mr. far is claims that somebody had said, put your star away. what we can't confirm, not at all. what we can see or can't see from the video is it certainly doesn't appear that mr. far is visibly wearing the star of david. now mr. farm has said that since when showing this video that the, the star may have been under his shirt. he can't tell for sure. but he says he knows what he heard and has said that in no way did he lie to the police. the police in leipzig though, have said that they have what they're calling serious concerns about the version of
9:26 pm
events that were originally presented to them. we have seen is one of the hotel stuff file, a defamation case of their own against mr. far even, but they still are a big investigation. and they said, this is a huge story here in germany. huge investigation going on to try and get to the bottom of exactly what happened on the 4th of october sound, the biggest german military girls in recent years have kicked off in the republic of to trickiest on that part of this has planned exercises while collecting securities. and treat organization the location for the drills. on the contrary, i'm going to border was no coincidence with the regional still tense. in light of recent events in afghanistan, reporting from the scene he is on his english donald some 4000 troops, 500 military vehicles. and 6 nations all participating in day one of what expected
9:27 pm
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 russia 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
9:28 pm
a canister is not a coincidence. when the taliban grabbed power in cobble things got tense on the side of the border. when islamic states started to take advantage of the power vacuum, it got even more serious. general do not shy away from openly saying who the show is for. which in your miss 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 in peace, the less you bleed in 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. whoo gaming. and sure enough, over the next few days, pretty much all you'll hear here is the sound of every kind of gunfire imaginable. i'm a gosh darn of reporting from tajikistan haughty europe. today's more news and half an hour coming up next announcing international and support best
9:29 pm
ah ah ah . so it gives rise to the question about these crises and who's behind
9:30 pm
them? we had the sub prime crisis that resulted in many printing that made the top get richer. we have the color 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, and he can get into the other, you know, into some other areas as well, really making some hard, making hard questions. ah, [000:00:00;00] with
