8:01 am
over the rule of law and poland is at the center of debate. as you leaders meet for a summit in brussels, the talks also are to focus on europe's energy crisis and are expected to be rather tense. it alive now to correspond to charlotte. you've been seeing paris, charlotte. hi, there. can you give us some background of the dispute and can this week summit change the course of things? do you think? well the you counseling meeting, as you said in brussels, going back to the drawing board over many of the troubles and issues that faced the block not just in the immediate future, but possibly over the next few years. and probably 1st port of call is that issue with poland in this crisis over the rule of rule, this idea of whether a country's constitution is something that takes precedence over nur itself. no. earlier this week, the polish prime minister spoke to any peas at the european parliament trying to
8:02 am
put forward his point of view on this particular subject. before he spoke, the commission president ursula vaughan delay. it was pretty fiery, saying that what poland was doing was essentially walking a rocking the bed rock old, the european union. 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 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 intense to protect your appeal money given this ruling of their constitutional court. while in vain during the federal court, the european union,
8:03 am
she was very fiery equally. so was the polish prime minister. matters modify. it's basically turned round and said that you had to stop making some countries within the you feel like they were 2nd class citizens on he said that it was the new itself that was being on the democratic year. the post on the yesterday, you must not impose a decision verdict without a legal basis. it is unacceptable to talk about financial penalties, etc. we heard even worse language as it relates to some other states. i reject the language of threatened by the complete will not have a distance blackmail, paul, and god bless my old must not be a method of policy conducted in relation to certain other states. this is not with democracy. do well, another very important conversation topic, of course, is the european energy crisis. what can we expect to come out of that?
8:04 am
yes, will they see the burning question? no bio energy or in fact the lack of it here in europe. we know that it's lavonne delay and the commission presidents is just wound. the businesses may be closed as a result of this crisis, as they may run out to the energy that they need to run the businesses. we know that spain is spoken to the block and said that urgent measures need to be taken. there has to be coordinated action amongst the block members to deal with this crisis, which it won't may last beyond next winter for longer than anybody else has been talking about today. it's natural gas has gone up in price by more than 400 percent in the last year, more than 20 percent to so in the last day, i give you a sense of how urgent this this is. and as this is unfolding some politicians rather looking at what's happening at home here in the you are concerned and
8:05 am
pointing the finger of blame, shifting it towards russia. the current high gas prices are primarily the result of high demand and low supply. at the same time, russia is playing poker, gas supplies have been significantly reduced but it's a bit like a poker game, isn't it? the i'm t, the stakes of being up all the time. and if this is a poker game, then perhaps russia is the dealer and it's the dealer. they're saying, you know what, we are ready to give you more gas. that's not an issue. you just have to ask is, in fact the outgoing germ let chancellor anglo merkel said recently that as far as she was aware, russia had come through, took all its commitments when it comes to gas at the moment. so that's a demand from russia is ask us will gas, and we will happily give it to you. and there are others the saying, look, this is not russia's fault at all. this is actually the use of making it put itself
8:06 am
in this course is because of the fact that moved away from traditional sources of energy like fossil fuel fall too quickly. while at the same time, it's been far too slow to implement the new green energy agenda. so all of this is being discussed enough for discussion today. one solution has been suggested to strategic, i guess, reserve for the european union. but even if that is put in place, it will be too far in the future to mitigate immediate crisis. meaning that as winter approaches millions, if not tens of millions of homes across the european union will be wondering how they will keep the heat on the lights on our tea. charlotte davinsky reporting from paris. thanks a lot for bringing us up to speed next week. moscow will go into another lockdown for at least 11 days in an effort to reduce a record search in new daily cove cases and debts. all non essential shops will be
8:07 am
closed as well as cinemas gyms and shopping centers. and for more on this, we're going live to dmitri polk, or correspond in the studio. thanks for joining us, dmitri. first of all, of course, this isn't the 1st time that moscow's gone and to lockdown what's gonna happen after it's reinstated? yeah, that's a fully right. it's actually been a while since we've had such strict measures here in moscow, but yeah, it seems, here we go again a yesterday president wooten announced week off for workers across russia. however, up to date, so he's head banging when i came out and extended those measures and extended an inch basically to reduce the lock down period, which will last from october 28th till november 7th, 11 days and total. that's a bit longer than with president putin initially announced. but during this period, organizations will, 1st of all, of course have to send their workers if they can afford it and allow it, and their worker's home with pay, they have to remain retained their salaries. but more importantly, businesses and enterprises that are not deemed crucial must now suspend their more
8:08 am
work for this lockdown period. and that includes retail, a cultural centers, sports sensors, entertainment cinemas, etc. additionally, all mass events will be prohibited and during this period and even after this period ends, events for over $500.00 people will not be allowed. also nurseries and schools will also now have to go on a excited holiday with there's definitely some serious measures what's led to them . well, it's been the ongoing rise in cases a matter what the authorities have tried to introduce in terms of measures doesn't seem to go down. cases are keep, keep rising all over rush, and him ask specifically, just over the past 24 hours, there was around a 1000 cases confirmed in moscow alone, and that's the highest. it's been just at least in the past 4 months, but it's not just the case is also it's so hostile zation there also through the roof and deaths across rush have been in the thousands for several days now as a $1024.00 just over the past 24 hours, it's still won the highest during, throughout this whole pandemic. but this seemingly unchanging thread friend is
8:09 am
apparently what brought on these new measures in this locked out and as moscow's mer serious about inputted. this is sort of a medicine to try and take down the fever. it's like a fever when you have a cold, if it gets too high, the doctors can order you to take medicine, which in itself isn't a cure, but it helps your body to rest and restore your strength. what we've gone over, what is going to be closed? well, what's going to remain open and what's gonna happen after this lockdown is over. well, obviously during the time of essential businesses, crucial businesses will remain open. that includes pharmacies, supermarket, st places that basically fell. first need goods, but essentially also restaurants and cafes will actually still be allowed to operate during this time. and after this period however, they can only be working for take out. also, after the lockdown period ends of starting from november 8th, they could still continue working as they were, without the need of any q
8:10 am
r codes or anything like that. but as long as they follow, call the guidelines. theaters actually, and museums will also be allowed to operate after the lock down period ends. however, they will have to use q our codes. they will have to have requirements for protective gear and only allowed to be working at 50 percent capacity in terms of changes. for example, earlier this week, mac mister gates abandoned, introduce some measures and for the elderly uh they have to stay at home, work from home, but now starting from november 8th, they will now be unable to use free public transport. however, the mayor has said that he views this as a positive step and urges people to see the bright light in this to go out for a walk during these days off of get some fresh air to spend time with their families. and he looks at these, this locked down period will and give the city some rejuvenation in terms of the fighting this endless battle against the covey buyers. i supreme, i certainly hope it does. ortiz dmitri poke thanks. love forgiveness. those updates
8:11 am
a u. s. house intelligence committee is looking into an alleged cia plot from back in 2017, to kidnap wiki lisa founder julian assange. the story published by yahoo news last month claims former c. i a director, mike pompei o pushed for highly aggressive measures against the whistleblower organization, including but not limited to the abduction of a such good. now the aerial man hunt and shootout with russian spies and central london, the new james bond movie. not exactly. in fact, these are the highlights from a reported cia secret plan to silence the journalist already who revealed americans for dirty secrets. location london, the year 2017 starring julian a sorry, a man of interest. heidi ecuadorian embassy. my campaign, then c, i achieve that evil mastermind behind the operation. the russkies. the essential
8:12 am
ingredient for any good spice dory. doubtless ya would break every possible law to silence independent journalists. stay to the upcoming details may surprise you. we are recording chapter one. the fascination my compared wanted the cia to be, creates instructed, subordinates not to self sense of themselves when it comes to dealing wiki links. sometimes old tricks work best. they might have thought and came up with a good old assassination plans, detailed sketches, options on how to murder a sound, reportedly with disgust in the whiteness, the biased possible level. why would a cia chief plots of the killing of an independent journalist? well, it was an act of personal vendetta. back in march 2017, the newly appointed cia chief found himself in
8:13 am
a very difficult position. when wikileaks released top secret ca papers, they were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about bulk 7. they were seen blood chapter to kidnapping. but somebody in the white house might have thought paid no killings were a civilized nation that kidnapped this journalist and sentenced him to death by american law. the plan was simply break into the embassy drag hassan down and bring him to where we want one small issue. the u. s. justice department failed to keep up with cia fantasies. they were still processing the case and didn't file charges against the wikileaks founder. so the cia was doing to kidnap the foreign citizen from the capital of washington's closest ally with no legal basis tool. a perfect master black deed. you could possibly spoil the fun russians of course, chapter 3, fighting russians. we'll div vladimir putin intelligence gets there,
8:14 am
1st of dumps a sound and then flies him to moscow. that's a possibility. the paranoid ca offices thought brace yourself, the plans accounts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left nothing to chance. besides, gets into the car with the russian operatives. a cia initiates a car crash with the russian diplomatic vehicle. god knows how many other londoners collateral damage is. they say, assange gets on the plane. the cia blocks it on the runway by shooting its tires, as well as anything. and anybody else at the way the plane takes off with a flat tire. the c i, a hub is a helicopter over is still manages to leave the ground. they demand with the european countries close, aerospace we are still talking about catching julian, sarge, not a number one terrorist. oh well,
8:15 am
if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american government's path, the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. the rule of law may not advise you. earlier i spoke with geopolitical analyst, an editor at 21st century wire, patrick hennington. he explained the democrats role in the investigation, including that of congressman adam shift, who was leading the inquiry in terms of adam shifts, involvement. adam shift coming forward in last 2 days saying that he's looking for this information. now, i really doubt, i really doubt that this has anything to do with defending the free press or human rights from the democratic parties perspective. i think there are partisan. there's definitely partisan motives here. the democrats still regard julian sanchez, the major scape goat for giving the trump upset against hillary clinton, 2016 with the protest emails and so forth. so mike pump pale features heavily in
8:16 am
this, this is supposedly, as a reaction to the volt 7 releases all pop pump. hey, i was going a major p r. make over image make over. he's lost the way he's con blonde. he's clearly being groomed for the 2024 election as a candidate, and would likely be parlayed into a vice presidential slot either for president trump or rhonda santas. whichever g o . p candidate is selected. as the nominee, a man has been charged with murder and preparation for an act of terrorism. that's over the fatal stabbing of british m. p. sir david amos. for the latest we're going to go live now to our correspondence in london. shoddy edwards dashed high. shoddy a. can you tell us what's the latest on the case? well, it's a significant update today or in the world of the man that was leading the specialist operations for the metropolitan police, a significant milestone as
8:17 am
a 25 year old young man. ali hobby holly has now been charged with the murder of the conservative em piece. of david amos who died just last week, after being mostly stopped by the man that has not been charged during a constituency surgery meeting at the methodist church in south bend, which is his local constituency. now at the time alley hobby alley was arrested. he the c, know the talk in leon, c and essex, and detained under section 41 of the terrorism act of 2000 and held in custody today. then he has been charged to a significant charge at one of 9 and another of preparation of a terrorist acts. now interestingly, in the notice of the charges, they also included ideological and religious motivations as well. all of that combined confirms that this is indeed a terrorist incident. so
8:18 am
a little bit more now of information about the profile of ali hobby alley. he's a 25 year old british national of somali heritage, she grew up in suffolk, which is just around the corner from here in a westminster. now, the head of the specialist operations in the metropolitan pieces just released a statement in the last hour and says as a result of today, we have now reached a significant milestone. he says that the counter terrorism team have been leading the investigation for the last 6 days. they've been working day and night. painstaking a review of all of the cctv footage in the nearby area. he also went on to thank the public for coming forward with all of their additional information. i'm confirmed that these charges have now been authorize the merger and preparation of terror offenses. as i say, he remains in custody and will now appear in westman and magistrates courts. this afternoon for his fast parents. now, the police also went on to say that at this time been not seeking anyone else in
8:19 am
relation to this incident. at this point, they are absolutely confident that ali hobby ali was acting alone. this was indeed a loan attack, but as for the motivations, he says that no more information will be given out by police. he wants to draw a line on one of the speculation that we've had in the media and on also social media as well as the last week. so for now, really, the evidence continues to be pieced together, brought together in preparation for what will now be a trial. ortiz shot edwards dash g. thanks a lot for giving us those details from london. get jabbed or go. the mayor of new york has set a 29th of october deadline for city employees to get at least one vaccine shot or go on. unpaid leave is even offering a $500.00 sweetener, but many are still resisting, including firefighters, 1000 new york,
8:20 am
sci fi fi to sort of put their lars with a lot of new york city during the pandemic, are being give you a mandate to get vaccinated. will lose their jobs. i'm worried, it's very hard to, to step before houses as it is. will definitely be closing for our houses before the amount of people that have told me they're not they get vaccinated. if they get sent home, there's going to be serious operational problem of and that's why fi of new york city residents go, far ceaseless coming. but also we responded medical events as well. this month, the united states passed the grim landmark of $700000.00 covert debts that says 57 percent of the population are vaccinated, but many are still standing up to jab mandates, police officers health care professionals, and even scientists have now moved from words to direct action as caleb whopping reports the united states has seen away as of demonstrations against the federal vaccine mandates. why are they controversial? because it gives employees an ultimatum. get vaccinated or lose your job.
8:21 am
guy. i now opponents of the mandate say they are not opposed to vaccinations, they just want people to have the right to choose. and it's not only among conservatives, people are protesting all across california, washington and other progressive states. but joe biden says he has no mercy for those who refused the jap. we had to do more to vaccinate, to 66000000 unvaccinated people in america is essential, must be clear. vaccination requirements should not be another issue that divides us . and i'm asking everyone, everyone who hasn't gotten vaccinated, please get vaccinated. that's how we put this pandemic behind us. now, the vaccines are intended to protect public security and health, but they're starting to have a somewhat negative effect on national security. the san francisco police themselves are now coming forward and saying they soon may not have enough staff to
8:22 am
handle emergency calls in a city of this size with the month of october and all the things that have been gone on that that's going to put quite a dent into operations. if you take a $120.00 cops or even more off the street, what do you think is going to happen? the streets of seattle. so our protests from nurses, firefighters and police officers, the state of washington, ended up losing out $127.00 civil service, half of which were state troopers who refused to get the shot. he can take my job, he can take my spirit, he can't take my morals or my ethics. more surprisingly, a high profile us national security lab could be affected. los alamos, a vital hub of the west nuclear weapons program, had over a 100 employees lose their jobs after refusing vaccination. their challenge to the mandate was unsuccessful. in any organization, there are people not always recognized who quietly make the work of others possible
8:23 am
blues them. and you are in trouble. health care workers come under fire as well in rural new york and entire maternity hospital was shut down after they lost staff due to the mandate. we are unable to safe. we staff the service after september 24th. the number of resignations received leaves us no choice, but to pause delivering babies that louis county general hospital vaccinations are so essential to public health. but when you don't feel safe in your own home, due to soaring crime rates, and when there's no one to answer your emergency calls due to staff shortages, it starting to look like the biden administration might have created a new crisis and there bungle bid to deal with the pandemic, caleb martin, r t new york world health organization strongly advise people to get vaccinated and
8:24 am

8:25 am
but i am against these policies that the government is imposing. that is making the situation even worse. we should not destroy our economy and take away our freedoms because of a virus. money cannot replace our loss. that is the response from the father of, of an, of an afghan family killed in a u. s. jerome strike and washington's promise of compensation because of it during america's panic withdrawal from afghanistan in august, the attack killed 10 members of em. all amadi extended family, including his 2 year old daughter that a little compensation is not a remedy for the pain inflicted on us. it can't replace the loss of my family and my brother, my own daughter and nephews have lost their lives. compensation will not bring them back to life each day after that attack, our life is getting more and more miserable day and night. we recall them were our remaining family. we missed them. a lot. life is hell without them. we intend to

leave of gustavo because we lost 10 of our precious lives. now it's painful for us to leave without those loving kids. he was took months to take responsibility for the mistake that was supposed to target members of isis k. there is no official information about the amount being offered to the family, but apart from that, they are being given assistance. if they want to relocate to the united states. humanitarian situation in afghanistan is now at a crisis point. there are about 600000 people displaced as a result of fighting and economic instability in the region. most of them are women and children is estimated that millions of kids need humanitarian aid to survive right now. the united states is providing nearly $64000000.00 in assistance, but m all amadi says that the losses to his nation are much greater than that. i'm also home by this kind of aid doesn't compensate the loss he reflected on this nation. how will he address the miseries in the agony of war of the father and
8:27 am
brother, a child or a family? believe me, you can't find a single african family in this country without mos her. you can feel this pain everywhere. it can be dealt with through humanitarian aid. so, so what we need is biesen of gustavo, whether the previous regime, oh, the slammy government, it doesn't matter. we are glad, at least the americans have admitted their mistake and said they would pay the compensation. but we demand the americans investigate thoroughly before such a drone attacks happened in the future. that's the news for this. our stay tuned for more in just about 30 minutes. ah. better by a survival. good today to use like most of the story safely had the federal luther issue. still there are you don't get a back product. oh heck, no. what wizard? recreation came when we get the rest. the 7 years bill at the $75.00 kaiser court

thought that was a criminal investigation with the light of distance in the wake of the new presidency, with a new hope from the world, the approbation of the world to the election of joe biden. that somehow, trump might have just lost his grip on the republican party in some slight way. the shocking thing alex's, he has not all the polls suggest the opposite. this week with turn to another professor and another anthropologist point of view on the prospects of our personal, between the west on this planet quote. this is the world's most noted muslim academic, but 1st tweets emails and messages in response to i should last think on. we davis is thesis of the end of the american century. steven, right, said, excellent, pleased by caught in to this professor. we did this, and this is 2nd. yes and is today i do watching at stephen. next step, martin says hardly as biden and democrat,
