7:03 pm
a situation where these properties are being searched there, us media is insisting these are the homes of europe. pasco, pasco representative says these are not the homes of europe, 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. we have heard from representatives of dera, pasco, about what is taking place for now. we have some news just in from washington d. c. capital police have blocked a number of roads in the district of columbia in connection with a bomb threat at the us labor department of labor, according to reports, police are investigating a suspicious package. of course our news team is across it. we will bring you more details as they emerge. there has been a test to exchange in the european parliament after the polish prime minister
7:04 pm
lodged a tirade against you. institutions accusing them of overstepping their powers and even blackmailing its country or to show davinsky 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 and heal these divides 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 rip 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
7:05 pm
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 bal 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 this is yeah, yep, of in the bush for the move on up just for i mean the for 30 bravo. you have to close on the van? no, shes sorry. chairman, i was told by the office of david solider that i was allocated 3035 minutes, so i will use my time. i cannot confirm their success.
7:06 pm
and i think that certificate i see autopay have to go nothing completely i'm. i'm coming to my as i've done the service there me peace had plenty to say. they said that the polish m. p was slyly 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 that they should continue mac. i want to thank those polls who took to the streets who showed their faces to other poles, hundreds of thousands of them. real patriots took the streets with national flags, proud polish flags, and european flags in their hands. a patriot should not be a nationalist. we are all listened to your denials, but the truth is, your actions are a sly way to lead poland out of the union, unilateral illegal actions cannot be accepted and will have consequences. the
7:07 pm
sinister gain that your playing is very clear. the sinister game is that you're putting upon the size, the constitutional court inside depaula and debtor politicized. 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 your 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 to day it's a constitutional backseat. the commission president lavonne delay was among the vic she and the commission act immediately. any peace 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,
7:08 pm
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. the commission will act and the options are all known. first option on fringe moments where we legally challenge the judgment 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 appeal money, given this ruling of their constitutional courts. this was supposed to be an opportunity to make a man. thank you. lou rifts bring poland back into the fold, the bosom of you, what transpired was anything but that with amy piece, basically realizing and saying out loud that they don't accept the pulse. the
7:09 pm
poland is on. judging by the session on tuesday, it seems that those divisions between poland damn the rest of the e. u. even deeper and wider us secretary of defense dropped into ukraine on tuesday and had his to this to say on the proposed nato expansion to include give no 3rd country has, has a veto over nato's membership decisions. ukraine has you heard me say earlier, has a right to decide its own future foreign policy and, and we expect that they will be able to do that without any outside interference. his words come in the wake of a dramatic spike intentions between russia and nato. moscow signalled it's intent to pull the plug on the permanent mission to the block in brussels. that will
7:10 pm
happen on november 1st. nato's mission in the russian capital will also be closed. the move is indirect response to the alliance earlier, kicking out a number of russian diplomats for alleged spying. now the kremlin, meanwhile, has described any ukrainian bid to join nato as an expansionary step too far. he claims this session to nato would be the worst case scenario. this is the scenario that goes beyond the red lines of russia's national interests. this is the scenario that could force russia to take active measures to ensure its own security . we spoke with former u. s. senior security policy analyst, michael maloof, who thinks talk of the essential is just another example of the u. s. trying to contain russia. well, i think this is all part of a concerted action by the united states once again to, to wrap it up, pressure on, on moscow,
7:11 pm
basically to contain russia in its own sphere of influence. going back to 2008, when us was trying to push both georgia and ukraine into, into nato. but it was, it was, it was the membership itself of nato, which decided against such a move because of the concerns of moscow reaction for, for moscow it's clear that such accession of border states would be a red line. new governments, emergency corona virus powers have been extended for another 6 months. this comes as the country recorded its high las de lee cove death toll since march, but also as protests increasingly take place against the vaccine passports, our correspondent in london, shut it edward's da street, takes up the story. the house of commons has just waived through the government's
7:12 pm
flagship corona virus act of 2020 dots. the 350 page act, the emergency powers, as it swept through the government some time ago introduced at the start of the pandemic. i'm will now continue for an additional 6 months, so it went through without even a vote. today 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 a central london fighting for their freedoms and their liberties, which they say this act actually denies them off. now i was that myself and for some hours there were numerous clashes with the police throughout the day. however, the most alarming incident on the streets has to be when the cabinet minister michael. gov was accosted by these protest as they coordinated pounced on the him.
7:13 pm
essentially, accusing him of all sorts of things throughout, at the pandemic. it was then that please, i'll shoot him into a nearby building. the department for transports right here in westminster, offering him that much needed protection. ah, ah, ah, ah, essentially these activist today say there is no need for these emergency powers that basically allow the government to keep its 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 sort of turtle you 10 from labors shadow health secretary of the 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 for coney, an ever seen in peacetime,
7:14 pm
britain that has never been subject to any robust scrutiny in parliament. of course, being swept through today again, really dodging any scrutiny whatsoever. so what really are we talking about then? well, they were to do some 20 months ago as i say last spring. originally, i'd say give powers to the government to enforce the locked 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 roll out that is still very much underway, although it's now moved to the under 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 kind of a death, the 7 months and cases, a really going back to at the level they was some months ago of kools winter is
7:15 pm
only round the corner meaning the pandemic could again return to the 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 still to come in the program 5 years after the bombshell dossier on alleged to trump, russia collusion former british by who compiled it. finally admits it's not 100 percent accurate, it's after short breaks they with us. ah . oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers are those with
7:16 pm
dares sinks. we dare to ask a dual system of justice many think so, for example, a former senior f b i a base you lied repeatedly to his bosses, but now is exonerated. but a former head of the national security council did not lie to be f b. i and his life was destroyed. where is the justice in that? ah, that he rather bristles to point, but also with a thinly daniels purely a little she was a little give also reduce the rest of the basilica, thought the other mother liquors. melissa was assumable. just needed. yeah. it was just food say that even when you would you that is images,
7:17 pm
moves up was good for supposedly good. have my did on, i would say again has been you music, his image, his parents to become mom, with both with her home was out of the to get the vote for idea all of your room play some way up. all of the bella reviews, right. you didn't leave you to the shelter worship of neil to his own. ah ah ah, welcome back. this is our to international. now the murder of the british, m. p at
7:18 pm
a constituency meeting has escalated issues of personal security in the country, including online home secretary, pretty patel says, ending online anonymity is being looked at as just one measure to combat such attacks. would you consider a legislation to remove a right to anonymity on social media? i wanted to look at everything and there is what taking place already. britain has been scrambling to introduce stronger security measures for politicians in the wake of david amos's death. the conservative m. p was stabbed multiple times at a church whilst meeting constituents in southeast england. a 25 year old man has been detained under terrorism legislation on suspicion of his murder. a parliament is currently scrutinizing a draft on line safety bill that will regulate online content if passed. it will pressure, social media companies to remove harmful or illegal material. the case communications regulator off. com will have the power to block access to sites and find companies
7:19 pm
up to 800000000 pounds or 10 percent of annual turnover. we spoke to political commentator sophie corcoran, who says that the new bill may have dire consequences on free speech. if you really remain people's and imitate you remain group of people from the public debate, for example, the public sector are teaching stuff, often have mistakes, media accounts. so couple of them stop sending interactions site and it's also sensory people and the debate back to so much so mean tweet from caution by and there are good aspects of the online homeschool does brain we make in this place. let's say for lunch. children may not be online, but there is the element again because freedoms on there is a lot of concern about this government anyway from lawyers about whereas head in terms of restrictive people's liberties. this has been probably one of the most
7:20 pm
restrictive governments i've, i've lived in my life. i'm the government that we'd like to be freak conserves. a lot of people are very concerned. i think there will be quite a lot of outrage about this. the author of a bombshell dossier on the ledge to trumpet russia collusion is standing by his claims while also admitting they are not 100 percent accurate. former british spy, christopher still has spoken publicly on his findings for the 1st time. and the document was compiled in 2016 and contained detailed allegations of the 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 now the f. b, i later published heavily redacted pages showing the agency had paid feel for his work, but cut him off as a source. after he disclosed to us intelligence links to a 3rd party. years later,
7:21 pm
there are still many unanswered questions regarding the steel dossier. not least how it came into being as our correspondent does, you have comments? 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 garcia. christopher susan, this is hero. izzy trader, christopher steals a guy who picked 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 dossier, vish tom, chris tries to defend the doughty, the multiple falsehoods and inaccuracies and make believe miley tries,
7:22 pm
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 in my dos here 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'd got pretty good value out of donald trump when he was president of the us. the most remarkable thing in my opinion, is what steal dossier supporters. a saying they can't defend the dos here itself, it's, it's so full of holes and lies. so they've come up with
7:23 pm
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 among 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 doughty 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. 1 mister cohen did react, he said that he was pleased that christopher steele had crawled out of the pub just long enough to make up a few more stories. i'm not so sure that everyone is pleased. abs crease. the once was quiet enough. there's nothing groundbreaking, of course. he's being,
7:24 pm
he's being interviewed by a very sympathetic, quote unquote, journalist stephanopoulos has been operative for bill clinton in the democratic party for a long time. although looking at the mainstream coverage, this sort of rehabilitation of christopher still seems to be, seems to be coming around. you have to scratch our heads, even the f b, i stopped using him as a confidential human informa because they found that he was to 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 to expect that 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, would've expected the u. s. mainstream media, us media to have looked into some of the stories before reporting them as if they were fact. there has been a miraculous escape for all 21. people on board a private jet after crashed and burst into flames. moments after take off in the
7:25 pm
state of texas, and 2 people needed hospital treatment for back injuries. accident happened to close to houston executive airport. the plane had reportedly just taken off but struggled to gain altitude before coming down in a nearby field and smashing through offense. now the plume of smoke was reported being seen from miles away. and the doesn't for me, i'll be back in about say, 35 minutes was another full and fresh look issues. this is our t international. ah ah.
7:26 pm
so it gives rise to the question about these crises and who is behind them. we had the subprime crisis that resulted in mind, the printing that made the top get richer, we have the call, the crisis, which has resulted in the top getting richer because of all the money printer. 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. when i see black america, i see part of my so i was growing, you know, black america spoke to me with what
7:27 pm
a stride you did not have those 2 side black lives matter is a movement. we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where white lives mattered. and i was not wide like ms noon. and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness. aboriginal people here more every day. we are out loaded. now with the police were out with she states, i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other fellow friends in daycare. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime. but old wound still
7:28 pm
haven't tailed in different going into them is what difference. because only coming out to you, a michel fee, to market people, to miss a powell said cutting me and the percent the say me know that i understand, i think with thousands of newborn babies. what toned from their mothers been given away and forced adoption? late bought about i used young ford fiesta that are my old robles. i feel elements it to this day. mothers still search for grown children, while adults look in hope for their birth parents. with the this is the one visit you can't afford to miss. i'm to a woman that ambridge boring. washington coming up the future of the world. premier
7:29 pm
cripple currently is taking a new turn. it's a 1st big point. atf has launched at the fcc has cleared the measure straight ahead . we analyze the development and what it means for the digital economy was to be ongoing supply chain shortages continue to drive of energy prices with warning. it could lead to skyrocketing costs this winter will discuss. then 2021 has seen a series of ransomware tasks earning hackers more in the 1st half of this year, send the entire last decade. we'll take a look at whether congress is planning to get involved anytime soon. we have a package here today, so let's get started. we will, the program was a big day for bitcoin as the world's largest crypto currency has seen the approval of the 1st. bitcoin futures exchange traded fund in the us, the new e t f, which began trading on the new york stock exchange on tuesday. will also allow many more investors to allocate to crypto. so far the numbers have been good with bitcoin climbing their it's all time high over $63000.00 as of tuesday afternoon.
7:30 pm
so just how significant is this for the crypto space? well, joining us now to discuss it, boom by house and crypto analyst been want now been, why is it such a big deal for bitcoin? well, it's a big deal for a couple of reasons. the biggest reason of all and by the way, guys, as you know, we talked about this a lot last week, right. will it happen? won't happen. it's like one of those rom. com movies will be fcc stephan at the last 2nd and, and messes up again. they did it and so we now we have a big coin, you t f, but essentially what it is, it's a diversification, right? so if, if you're gonna get evolving crypto and you say, well, i don't know if i really want to put a bunch of money into crypto and how do i protect my assets using e t f. it's, it's essentially pooling assets together from a bunch of different investors and then you're purchasing together. so.
