who's accounting the program from today? welcome to school and to the news our on our team. my name's unit o'neill. we will get to those headlines stories in just a moment, but some breaking news coming into us from the u. s. state of at texas. after a private jet there, crushed on burst into flames just outside houston. miraculously. and i don't use the set word likely. all 21 people on board are reported to have what to safety, the lot of flames on some of the lines coming some of the images that are just coming in at just one person needed hospital treatment for back injuries. we believe we know that the accident happened close to houston executive report. the plane had reportedly just taken off,

but struggled to get board the flight still alive and seeming a well accept and apparently bursting into flames. but everybody on board the flight still alive and seeming a well except for one person. more breaking news to bring you from the u. s. indeed, homes in washington, new york owned by relatives of the russian business men and billionaire. i liked her. a pesca have been rated by the f b i the side. kuhn is currently on a us sanctions list less cross live, know to are us correspondent, kill up knife and to fill in whatever blanks we can on this hi killer. indeed, bring us up to speed on development. what, what, what are we learning about what occurred today? while the f b, i is on the scene, the houses are indeed being swarmed. but u. s. media is referring to these homes as being the homes of ali. thereupon jca,

however, at this point we have consulted a representative of the russian billionaire and business man. they say these are not his halls. they are homes of his relatives and they are apparently being searched by the f b i. here's the information that we have obtained. it's to the f b i's rating the has is owned by elected pascal relatives. the rates are taking place under to court orders related to the us sanctions. now all of their a pasco is a billionaire and business man, and in 2018 he was put on the u. s. sanctions list. now there were 10 companies that were put on those lists, and his companies were one of them. and he has been targeted now in 2019, he filed a lawsuit against the office of foreign asset control saying that he was unfairly targeted and put on that list. he should not be on that list. he filed

a lawsuit now u. s. media has widely alleged that thereupon has a relationship with paul mana, for an individual associated with donald trump, who was a key figure in the russia gate, investigations, et cetera. and now from what we understand there is pretty clear denial from dera, pasco, that he had any association with man of fort. furthermore, there have been widespread allegations and money laundering. and thereupon sca maintains this is politically motivated. so we have a situation where these properties are being searched there, us media is insisting these are the homes of dear pasco, they are making clear your, a possible representative says these are not the homes of dera, pasco, these are homes of relatives. and we have a situation where it seems like us media is once again using this opportunity to bring back to the front. these trump russia collusion allegations that we heard and back during the presidency of donald trump. so i will be watching the situation

closely. these searches are in progress. we haven't yet heard from the f b i. but we have heard from representatives of dera, pasco, about what is taking place on tangling some of our story for kill up my pen live in the us this. our thanks. there has been a fiery exchange in the european parliament after the polish prime minister launched the tirade against the e. u. institutions accusing them of overstepping their powers and even blackmailing his country. r t. charlotte, dubin skeet, can tell us more. fiery doesn't go half the way of describing some of the accusations that have been thrown there was mud slinging throughout this session at the european pol and by the polish prime minister, and also by emmy peas right back at him. this was meant to be the opportunity for the polish prime minister to come to the european parliament to try to heal these, to rise these divisions between his country and the european union. his speech

seemed to have done the exact opposite with any peas accusing him of leading towards a government of totalitarianism and undermining the e. u. its foundations itself now might have ad skis talked about some of the issues that you was facing. he refused to accept and said it was not right for emmy please to essentially black male. other countries within the european union bite, threatening to withdraw to hold back their funds. and he said that the constitutional law in poland would remain supreme to that of e. you law and he said that the idea of changing that would move the you towards a fully fledged governor, both state, which is not what members signed up for. now during his speech, he was clearly overstaying his welcome when he was interrupted and told to wrap up

version of that says yeah, yep, of in the bush for the move on up. shes primary the for 30 bravo. you have to come on the van? no shes so chairman, i was told by the office of david sausalito that i was a located at 3035 minutes. so i will use my time. i cannot confirmed as access and i think there's some form that says it. i see autopay have to go. nothing completely i'm. i'm coming to my end. but on the certainties there me peas had plenty to say. they said that the polish mp was slightly leading his country to leave the european union. one said they thought it was nigel for raj who was talking at that session while other emmy peas took the opportunity to congratulate the anti government protests that had been taking place in poland and suggesting perhaps it, they should continue mix. i want to thank those polls he took to the streets who

showed their faces to other poles, hundreds of thousands of them. real patriots took to the streets with national flags, crowd polish like, and european flags in a hand. a patriot should not be a nationalist. we have all this to you denials that the truth is, your actions are a sly way to lead poland out of the union. unilateral eagle actions cannot be accepted and will have consequences, the sinister game that your playing is very clear. the sinister game is that you're putting upon the size, the constitutional court inside to polar, and better politicize those additional court is criticized by who, by the european court of justice during your speech. i was not sure if or worse, listening to you or to nigel, fresh to what you have done is in fact putting an existential tract for your country. this is our road to exit. there is no room for alternative solutions. in

other words, what you are proposing here and the day it's a constitutional backseat. the commission resident ursula vaughan delane weight was demanded that she in the commission act immediately. emmy peas, called on her to reject the recovery funds for poland. they called on her and the commission to trigger the rule of law conditionality, mechanism v d l herself vaughan, de leon said that the commission would do everything to ensure that it protect european citizens from threats. we cannot, and we will not allow our common values to be put at risk. a commission will act and the options are all known. first, option on fingerprints, where we legally challenged the judgement of the polish constitutional court. another option is the conditionality, mechanism, and other financial tools. the polish government has to explain to us how it

intends to protect your pin money given this ruling of their constitutional court. this was supposed to be an opportunity to make amends. the eula rift to bring poland back into the fold, the bosom of the e. u. what transpired was any thing, but that with amy peas basically realizing and saying out loud that they don't accept the pass that poland is on. judging by the session on tuesday, it seems that those divisions between poland and the rest of the you are even deeper and wider. rushes foreign minister has accused nato of burying cooperation with moscow. it comes after the expulsion of several envoys by the alliance, which prompted moscow to then sever dep, like mother ties with the alliance that was announced this week. but it won't start until the beginning of next month filling in more in that for us ortiz of the, of

a trickle for now moscow has a mission in brussels, which is where the natal h q is. and the purpose of that mission is to deal directly with the nato officials, of course, but just in 10 days on nun november the 1st the mission will shut it's doors completely. why? because as a serge elaborate has just put it in sati, nato has pretty much done everything to room dialogue. opportunities with moscow altogether of nato buried the idea of consultation with russia. we believe nato should take the 1st step in improving relations. the way to west is reacting to russia's response to nato is an attempt to shift blame. it demonstrates to lack of diplomatic culture. however, as the russian side is putting it, it's not that the russian government is keen to get rid of this channel of communication. i e,

maintaining its mission in the belgian capital. it's just that earlier this month, a group of russian diplomats were kicked out of brussels altogether at meaning that only 10 mission employees could stay there. and the russian foreign ministry is saying that with these 10 diplomats and simply impossible for the mission to function and that's why they have made this decision. so the result is these critical remarks bite surg, elaborate and it looks like relations between at moscow and nato. are only continuing to deteriorate, no matter what. however, when it comes to some of the bilateral contacts between perhaps the number one country nato, that is the us, of course, and moscow when it comes to specific stories like afghanistan, there could be progress, for example, because there is a new envoy that was appointed by washington in afghanistan and he, according to surgery, lab rav has already been in touch with russian diplomats. and 3rd elaborate said

that he'll be welcome in moscow when it comes to consultations, specifically about the things that are happening in cable and elsewhere. and again, a stand the u. k. government's emergency corona virus powers has been extended for another 6 months and peace voted in favor of the move earlier it comes as the country according to ties daily cove. it death tool since march, but all was protests were being held against vaccine passports. let's go live now to our t correspondence show the errors dusty, shabby, i suppose with many hoping we were over the worst. this is pretty discouraging. if not, i rightly the pressing use for britain's lasting all the way through winter and then into spring. tell us more. while the house of commons has just waived through the government flagship corona virus act of 2020, that's the 350 page ox. the emergency powers,

as it swept through the government some time ago introduced at the start of the panoramic. i'm will now continue for an additional 6 months. so i went through without even a vote. today it was expected that the parliamentary body would be holding a vote on all of this, but literally there was no opposition to it. so it was just swept through opposition, though was on the streets of central london today. numerous protests is gathering all across the central london fighting for the freedoms, the liberties which they say, this act actually denies them off. now i was myself, and for some hours there were numerous clashes with the police throughout the day. however, the most alarming incident on the street has to be when the cabinet minister michael gave was accosted by these protest as they cornered him, pounced on the him, essentially accusing him of all sorts of things throughout the pandemic. it was then that please ushered him into a nearby building. the department for transport right here in western is to

offering him that much needed protection. but of holes. it all comes in light of the tragic killing off said david amos, just last week. another member of parliament, and for many it seems as though it's probably a scary time to be an m p o o, o o. when essentially these activists today said there is no need for these emergency powers that basically allow the government to keep his unprecedented powers in place. interestingly though. 6 that there wasn't any opposition to it in the house of commons, especially from the labor party whose job is to oppose the government. in fact, we saw a total u. 10 from labor's shadow. how secretary said john ashworth, who said to day, we do not oppose the renewal of this act. but just at the thought of the pandemic,

some 20 months ago, he described this act as the most draconian ever seen. in peacetime, britain that has never been subject to any robust scrutiny in parliament, of course being swept through to day, again, really dodging any scrutiny whatsoever. so what really are we talking about then while they were having to do some 20 months ago, as i say last spring, originally, i'd say give power to the government to enforce the lock down rules. but now it's somewhat adapted into many other facets of life. as of course, locked down is now many a thing of the past today. it's more about things like piece powers, of course, the issue of moss, and also things like the mass vaccination rollout. that is still very much underway, although it's now moved to the on to 18 year olds plus things like vaccination possible. it could very much become a reality. however, all of this comes in the context of the united kingdom. it has reported its highest number of cova deaths, the 7 months and cases are really going back to at the level they was months ago.

of course, winter is only round the corner, meaning the pandemic could again return to things that we've seen in the past. so all of that in context is potentially why extending these emergency powers is justified for the government lied from the british capital r t correspondence, shanda edwards dusty still ahead on the program this our flexing their military muscles, russia, dates, post soviet allies, launched large scale exercises into g cuz we bricked on why it's happening now after the brake flu. ah, joined me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm.

so it gives rise to the question about these crises and who's behind them. we had the sub prime crisis that resulted in minute printing that made the top get richer. we have the cove and 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, getting richer, you know, and, and, and, and you can get into the other, you know, into some other areas as well, really making some hard, making hard questions. ah

ah 90 minutes into the program. welcome back. the author of a bomb shill dosier on alleged trumpet, russia collusion, is standing by his claims while also admitting they're not 100 percent true. former british by christopher steele has spoken publicly on the findings. for the 1st time . the documents was compiled in 2016 and contained detailed allegations of a conspiracy between trumps associates and the kremlin. there were also some saucy details about donald trump. suppose it escapades in moscow hotel room. none of those allegations have been proven. the f. b, i later published heavily redacted pages showing the agency had paid steel for his work, but cut him off as a source after he disclosed his u. s. intelligence links to a 3rd party. now, years later, there's still many unanswered questions regarding the steel da c,

including how it came into being, as our senior correspondent brought gusty of takes us through. the steel dossier has been one of the most mocked derided but, but also talked about reports in modern political history. the spot being mostly dismissed as, as a work of fiction. it has just refused to die. and christopher steel is back again . hyping and defending. he's much maligned dossier. christopher still isn't. it isn't hero, is he traitor, crisper steals a guy who can to fight with 2 presidents, donald trump and vladimir. and he's lived to tell the tale. mind the spoilers. there aren't any new revelations or perverted details as with the 1st doughty vis tom. chris tries to defend the darcy, the multiple falsehoods and inaccuracies, and make believe miley tries,

unprepared to accept that. not everything in the dossier is 100 percent accurate. i have yet to be convinced that that is one of them. yes, he says there are some things that my daughter that are literally made up, but he sticks. it seems by the p tape. his allegation that the russians film donald trump with urinating prostitutes. and he has a stella argument to back it up, prove me wrong. he says, you tell him that no one's ever seen the staple heard of it and that he's the only source ad. well, that doesn't convince chris, it hasn't needed to be released because i think the russians felt they've got pretty good value out of donald trump when he was president of the us. the most remarkable thing in my opinion, is what still dossier supporters. a saying they can't defend the dos hair itself, it's, it's so full of holes and lies. so they've come up with

a different method. it was the russians who painted the dossier by purposefully feeding christopher steele disinformation. it's very likely that the russians planted dis, information in and demand other information that may have been truthful because that's exactly again the way that they operate. the victims of christopher steals reporting have also reacted michael cohen, who the dossier accused of secret meetings with a russians in europe. he had the f. b, i get involved. of course, they found no evidence of any such meetings ever taking place, but regardless mister co indeed react. he said that he was pleased that christopher steele had cruel that of the pop just long enough to make up a few more stories. i'm not too sure that everyone is as please abs crease. the once was quite enough. there's nothing groundbreaking. of course, he's being, he's being interviewed by a very sympathetic,

a quote unquote journalist stephanopoulos has been an operative for bill clinton and the democratic party for a long time. although looking at the mainstream coverage, this sort of rehabilitation of christopher steel seems to be, seems to be coming around. you have to scratch or has even the f b. i stopped using him as a confidential human informer because i found that he was 2 on reliable i think one very important aspect is the collusion of the u. s. mainstream media in this, they absolutely fell down their job or expected someone like steal to be a liar. we expect the people that hired him to be pretty dodgy people. of course, that's the case. but we did, we at least once would expect. i would have expected the u. s. mainstream media, the u. s. media to have looked into some of the stories before reporting them as if they were fact. with a coven typing, it's grip on the russian capital. moscow's mirror has announced a number of new restrictions. the include a strict stay at home order for the most vulnerable,

and that comes as record cases on fatalities are being recorded on an almost daily basis. here's our t's. dimitri polk. this comes as cases in russia, unfortunately continued to grow. and in moscow, it's especially noticeable a moscow's mayor, sergei abandon has now introduced several new covered measures which will come into effect on monday and are set to last to leave end of february. now these measures her 1st one is that unvaccinated people over the age of 60, as well as though suffering from chronic illnesses, are now required to work from home. companies must also now follow a worker work at home quota, having at least 30 percent of their workers sent home. and companies working in the service industry must now have at least 80 percent of their workers vaccinated. used to be 60 percent. so now it's up on now, these measures were laid out in the mayor's open letter, where he highlighted an outline, the crisis currently going on in the city and pleaded, the elderly said finally get vaccinated because of the 5000000 people in moscow who

have at least received one job, it seems that the people at the highest risk of complications from the disease have still decided to omit the inoculation. thanks to must vaccination, we have created a significant layer of people protected from cove it this autumn, the epidemiological situation is seriously complicated. due to the increase in the instance of saws and other respiratory diseases which was not the case last year. and the most alarming thing is the high incidence of covered among the older generation. in this situation, we must take urgent measures to protect the older generation and of the vulnerable populations. now in the letter, the mayor also provided some statistics, for example, that right now in moscow, the infection rate is about 4 times that of which we saw just a couple of months ago. back in august, at around 42000 new cases being reported every week and hospitalizations are also up 212021500 hospitalizations every single day. how are the most alarming statistic

is that 60 percent of the people who have required hospitalization? are people over the age of 60, who also comprise about 86 percent of those who have died from cove it. and in most cases these people were not vaccinated. of course, it remains to be seen if these new measures will have a drastic impact on these cases on these hospitalizations and vaccinations. but right now, unfortunately, the cases continue to grow and alarmingly, deaths are at an all time high with over a 1000 deaths being reported every day for the last couple of days. it's the highest, it's ever been. and authorities are basically sounding the alarm and pleading for citizens to go out and get vaccinated to put an end to this spike. and this pandemic in of a story to bring you to a, in a major show of strength, hundredths of tanks and thousands of soldiers of a must into gk stem, along the border with afghanistan. while it's all part of military drills between russia and 5 off it's post soviet allies, it's also designed to send out

a clear message in what's currently a turbulent region reporting from the scene. here's our t's eager. is it done off some 4000 troops, 500 military vehicles and 6 nations all participating in day one of were 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 afghanistan, 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 a gaston 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 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 sweating piece, 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. 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 was informed to jake, his son, ot see. and thou drops off tuesday's news for now i'll keep the updates coming up the top of the hour after some more great programs getting there start in moment. mm ah ah

ah ah ah ah.
