a commuter trip pull out and secession of romantic operations and tortured and trailed for 17 years without trial works. below the case of pakistan, national. we're still in guantanamo despite being committed for release. i'll say it's a mash, we've been mistaken for terrorists. ah, this is on seen to national coming to life or most or i'm you national allah, thanks for joining it. russia is putting the plug when it's permanent mission to nato. the suspension of its operations is said to take place in 2 weeks. it comes in response to the alliance recently, kicking out a number of russian diplomats fall edge spying. nato has since sat aids open to dialogue, but it's policy to will. russia won't change. ortiz roman co, 3 has mall. russian foreign minister made the announcement on monday, saying that sir,
10:02 pm
starting on november 1st. moscow will completely suspend the operations of its mission to nathan, 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, alpha nathan 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 a russian diplomats for a legend, undisclosed espionage at 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 use noun. you put a chill,
10:03 pm
0 explanation was given for the expulsions. and the few days before the announcements we met with mr. stoughton berg and new york. he stressed that nato had a sincere interest to normalizing relations with russia, so to de escalate tensions on the european continent. what we weren't particularly surprised by the decision would, 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. while meanwhile, the nato international secretary, it has already been notified and the russian foreign ministry statement added that it is not expecting any shift in relationship with nato in the near future. and independent journalist lic obey believes nato wants to share his strengths, and that won't be a good thing in the situation, wasn't is not a new cold war. it is not the end of the relations drop halted channels can pass,
10:04 pm
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 intelligence officers. and 8 of them are pushed out. okay, this is not 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 to nato, why? because nato is looking for something to do since the war. so factors disappeared in that ninety's and the soviet union has disappeared. there is no actual reason for 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 limit of territory that they cover. but now they,
10:05 pm
there were speaking recently of indoor pacific activities for nato raw has taken a major step forward in reading the north string to pipeline to pump natural gas to millions of european hose. one of his sections has now been filled and they require fresh level work is kind of hand away to fill the rest of the network for shillings russia to germany via the baltic sea. the pipeline still needs final approval from german regulators. it comes as europe is by an energy crisis with gas prices recently at record breaking levels. much of the media has pointed the finger at russia for that despite moscow honoring its gas contracts and promising to boost supply on to charlotte. china davinsky take ups, takes out 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,
10:06 pm
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. so 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
10:07 pm
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 price is 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? as i, as the script kiner to my knowledge, there are noses where 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 it 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,
10:08 pm
this is nothing to do with russia. this is all a problem that is be made by the e you 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 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,
10:09 pm
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 landfill. and my colleague union o'neill spoke to john list and also thomas husbands, who believes it's mostly the media playing the blame game against russia. this part offer of you can all already say it vendetta an anti russian vendetta that has been going on building up in german, certain german media over the past 2 years. and it is really bordering on the observed because the same media now the 4 years maintained the position that we don't need a 2nd pipeline north stream under the board, dixie,
10:10 pm
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 blame game at russia, and they're really being offended. why doesn't russia? why doesn't gas from supply us with more gas so? so that's why i say 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 that e, you labor commissioner warning of energy poverty, a line 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 you repeat,
10:11 pm
guess suppliers or bias of russian and other guests of volumes did not expect did not feel up after the cold winter did not fill up their reserves. probably they expected the 2nd after it rather, luggage corona year. where doesn't which dream to come into that? here we have the observed situation that people are that the european con, guessed consumers, sa fonda, high gas prices, that we have an additional volume of $55000000000.00 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, gas consumers in europe are made victims, 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
10:12 pm
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, 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 couldn't geopolitical interests. are fighting against that. they you asked top amboy tom janice tanner stepping down that's less than 2 months after that. countries chaotic miniature withdrawal from the country and subsequent taliban take however, it also comes as the u. s. inspector general plans to launch multiple probes into the pullout and says session and diplomatic operations on says caleb more and has the story. the zalman callas vod the top us representative for afghanistan has been announced to be soon resigning at this point. antony blank in the us, secretary of state is confirmed that zach may call us i will be stepping down and
10:13 pm
he will be replaced with thomas west who is right now serving as a deputy envoy for afghanistan. now, zach may calla zod 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 4 key areas of the chaos withdrawal of united states from afghanistan. first, the special immigrant visa program. also the afghans processed for refugee admission into the united states, resettlement of those refugees and visa recipients. as well as the emergency
10:14 pm
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, billions of dollars of military equipment 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. 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 odd has to say, as he will soon be stepping down from his position. and i'm
10:15 pm
a dad bench when american political activists and co founder of code pink doesn't thing the scope of the investigation will be wide enough. unfortunately, 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 drone strike that killed 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
10:16 pm
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 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 precede of to being tortured and held contact for 17 years. at pakistan, the national has finally been claimed for release from america has gone tom of a prison. however, being cleared doesn't actually mean he walks free and his whole happening despite washington may think that he should have never been detained. in the 1st place. more i'd gone staff explains. mohammed's rabbani is one of one tottenham obeys, longest serving inmates 17 years and one month he has been locked up in git
10:17 pm
mo, by all accounts, innocent, never charged with any terror related offenses. never bought a 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 to 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
10:18 pm
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 sold pit and atoria cia jail in afghanistan, where terrible things were done to inmates to extract confessions ra body 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,
10:19 pm
in bond on him obey. that doesn't mean anything. one of my clients, homes, hotel california, it me, you can check out. but you can never leave for men are still 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,
10:20 pm
the trauma from long years of isolation, the stigma of being a guantanamo inmates will always stay with her body as will memories of the war and terra's churning merciless military bureaucratic machine that he would upon realizing its mistake, took years to correct it and former catalina as google's ethical and i research scene, has a keys the tent giant, a ramp and surveillance, and specifically targeting ethnic minorities tim, nit gabe or let go. the last year she says she was fired for writing an article ex, expert, exposing by the racism in the 10 chinese algorithms. google that in says she herself resigned, gave her a spoke to us, is going into grant program and we are in the full chair. throughout the day and his at preview what is on this vehicle. it, there's lots of a sudden it call right? a lot of of
10:21 pm
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 skin to men. this is with ignition. 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 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
10:22 pm
a google translate era, this was, this was a facebook translate and for the underlying technology of large language, did they all use large language models? 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 lars language models, you can have something that sound so fluent and coherent and it's completely wrong . so you only 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's no malice, these large language models consume a lot of compute only the people would these kinds of huge compute powers. are
10:23 pm
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 me. a story of alleged on to cynicism and germany has groups the country and some to sing at claimed he was asked to put away his starved david necklace in order to trek into a hotel. however, you liberally security vizier has raised doubts on whether the mush discounts claims are true. also used. pizza owner reports. this all started back on the 4th of october, where musician and sometime after jill of, sorry, i tried 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
10:24 pm
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 his viewpoint. you see him money, i'm standing here with my chain, then 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 watched the video that mr. afar 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 mass give his view on the incident. i am stunned by the anti semitic insult that jill of forum had to endure. many jews are exposed to this anti
10:25 pm
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 forward to the weekend, just gone and the press here in germany have gotten a hold of c. c t v 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 a video that has been seen. so we can't tell for certain one way or the other, whether mr. far ians claims that somebody had said, put your star away. what we can't confirm that at all, or what we can see or can't see from the video is it certainly doesn't appear that mr. afar e m is visibly wearing the star of david. now mr. afar him has said that the since when shown this video that the, the star may of 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
10:26 pm
leipzig though, have said that they have what they're calling serious concerns about the version of events, though, originally presented to them or we have seen is one of the hotel staff file, a defamation case of their own against mr. of foreign. but they still are a big investigation or 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. some of the biggest giant military girls in recent years have kicked off and the republic of pakistan the now part on this year's planned exercises by the collective security. treat organization the location for the trails on the atlantic again, board was no coincidence when the region still turns in light of recent events in afghanistan, reposing from the scene, he has asked his english down some 4000 troops, 500 military vehicles,
10:27 pm
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 ghana stem digest on 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,
10:28 pm
the location for the games. just 8 kilometers away from the border with of 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 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 and piece, the less you bleeding was creating realistic conditions on drills, health armies to prepare for the real action. the real sites under the real conditions. it's a situation that's going to need some heavy duty war 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,
10:29 pm
darn of reporting from tajikistan haughty unless he is this our next announcement financial aid these years, he's with house continue, his ah . l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with
