ah, join us in the depths ah, or remain in the shallows. ah, ah, heeded dispute between the e u and members state poland over whether the blocks laws should take precedence. that's at the center of this week summit and brussels along with efforts to cope with the european energy crisis. a grieving afghan father who lost 10 family members in a wrongful drone strike shares his agony and thoughts on us compensation. compensation is not to remedy for the pain inflicted on us. it can't replace the loss of my family. my brother, my own daughter and nephews, moscow's mayor, orders and 11 day lock down for the russian capital in a bid to turn the tide of a record surgeon cobit cases. and us democrats prob claims that the
9:01 am
cia plotted to kidnap wiki leaks founder julian sanchez. 2017. we ask if it's an attempt to defend press freedoms, or just to bid to damage republicans who were in power back then. ah, broadcasting live from our world news headquarters in moscow. this is our key international. i'm year olds, donald quarter. welcome energy crisis. have at times been explosive ortiz, charlotte davinsky reports the e, you counseling meeting, as you said in brussels, going back to the drawing board over many of the troubles and issues that face 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 room of rule. this idea of whether a country's constitution is something that takes precedence over nur itself. no.
9:02 am
earlier this week, the polish prime minister spoke to any peas at the european parliament trying to put forward his point of view on this particular subject. but before he spoke, the commission president ursula vaughan delay. it was pretty fiery, saying that what poland was doing was essentially rocking a rocketing the bed rock all the european union. 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 intense to protect your pin money. given this ruling of their constitutional
9:03 am
court welling pain during the bedrock of the european union, she was very fiery, brick, equal you. so was the polish prime minister matters modify etzky who basically turned round and said that that you had to stop and making some countries within the you feel like they were 2nd class citizens and you said that it was leaking you itself that was being un democratic yoga persona, yesterday, you must not impose a decision of verdict without a legal basis. it is unacceptable to talk about financial penalties, et cetera. we heard even the wars language as it relates to some other states. i reject the language of threats and fed a complete. i will not have e petitions, blackmail, poland, blackmailed, must not be a method of policy conducted in relation to certain other states. this is not what democracies do. all another very important conversation topic, of course, is the european energy crisis. what can we expect to come out of that?
9:04 am
yes, well, this is a burning question of our energy, or in fact, the lack of it here in europe. we know that ursula vaughan delay in the commission presidents is just wound that businesses may have to close as a result of this crisis. as they may run out of the energy that they need to run those 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 warned may last beyond next winter, far longer than anybody else has been talking about to date. no natural gas has gone up in price by more than 400 percent in the last year, more than 20 percent or so in the last day. that gives you a sense of how urgent this crisis is. and as this is unfolding some politicians, rather than looking at what's happening at home in the you are concerned and pointing the finger of blame,
9:05 am
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 i think like a poker game, isn't it? the, i don't see 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 journal, a chance langler merkel said recently that as far as she was aware, russia had come through all its commitments when it comes to gas at the moment. so that's a demand for mucho's. ask us will gas and we will happily give it to you. and there are all those the saying, look, this is not rushes full to tool. this is actually the key use of making it put itself 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,
9:06 am
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 as 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 money cannot replace our loss. that is the response from the fair. the father of an afghan family killed in a u. s. strong strike and washington's promise of compensation. during america's panicked withdrawal from afghanistan in august, the attack killed 10 members of them all embodied extended family, including his 2 year old daughter. long that a little compensation is not a remedy for the pain inflicted on us. it can't replace the loss of my family,
9:07 am
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 remain in family. we missed them. a lot. life is hell without them. we intend to leave of dentist on because we lost 10 of our precious lives. now it's painful for us to leave without those loving kids. us took months to take responsibility for the mistake that was supposed to target members of ice as kate was 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, the humanitarian situation in afghanistan is now at a crisis point. actually, there are about 600000 people displaced as a result of fighting and economic instability in the region. most of them are women and children, and it's estimated that millions of kids need humanitarian aid to survive right now
9:08 am
. united states is providing currently nearly $64000000.00 in assistance, but m all amadi says that the losses to his nation are much greater than that. i muscle home. 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, a brother, a child, or a family? believe me, you can't find a single african family in this country without moths her. you can feel this pain everywhere. it can be dealt with through humanitarian aid. what we need is peace in of genest on whether the previous regime of these lemme 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 de monthly americans investigate thoroughly before such genetics happened in the future. moscow was going into another lockdown starting next week for at least 11 days in a bid to reverse a record surgeon, new daily covert cases and deaths. all non assault essential shops will be closed
9:09 am
along with cinemas, gyms and shopping centers. for more, i'm now joined, live in the studio by ortiz, dmitri polk, the retreat. ah, what more do we know about these new restrictions? well, basically it's been a while since moscow has seen such strict risk measures. however, it seems that here we go again yesterday puttin announced that there would be a week off for all workers across russia. or today, moscow. mercy has abandoned has come out and extended that period and introduce measures which essentially amount to a lockdown, a starting from october 28th till november 7th or businesses will 1st of all have to send their workers on a paid vacation of paid leave for those 11 days, but also businesses that are deemed non essential will have to suspend their operations. its businesses like retail cinemas, as fitness centers, a theaters and so on. also all mass public events will be canceled and even after this so lockdown period ends. events for over $500.00 people will still not be
9:10 am
allowed. also, schools and nurseries will also have to take an extended vacation. we seem like some serious measures being taken. why are they needed exactly? well, this all comes as the cases across russia and in moscow, especially unfortunately have continued to grow just over the past 24 hours. there was some 8000 cases in just moscow alone. it's the highest of throughout the last 4 months. but it's not even just the cases, the hospitalization rates are through the roof and that's our and all time highs in the thousands each day. just over the past 24 hours. it was a 1028, and the highs numbers we've seen throughout this entire pandemic in russia. and it's these alarming trends that have contributed to these measures and this locked down. wish moscow mercy as a bank has said that will is intended to give the city a sort of break in time to prepare and rest from the fight against the co it 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,
9:11 am
but it helps your body to rest and restore your strength. so we know what businesses are going to be. law are going to be closed during the lockdown, but which ones will stay open and what's gonna happen after november 7th through did they have a plan? well basically, as i said, only non essential businesses will be closed during the lockdown period of businesses like pharmacies, supermarkets, and places that sell 1st need goods. they will remain open. also, restaurants and cafes will still be allowed to operate. howard during lockdown period, they will only be allowed to do take out after they lock them. here it ends. they will be allowed to resume our work. as usual, they won't be required to do any have any q r codes or any additional measures just this. the same cove, it measures that have been for this time. however, that does not, that's not the case with places like in theaters and cinemas, they will have to introduce q r code. they will have to work at only maximum 50 percent capacity require protective gear and so on. also, there are
9:12 am
a few changes for the elderly. earlier this week, moscow's mayor introduce several measures for them. for example, people over 60 are now required to work from home all the way till the end of february. but now starting from november 8th, they will also not be able to use a free public transport. now, all these measures might seem sort of grim, but moscow's mayor has pointed out that people should view these measures this lockdown in a more positive light and see this as an opportunity to go out, get some fresh air, spend some time with their family, take a break and hopefully come back to a city where the cupboard infection rates have started finally going down. yeah, hopefully, hopefully those measures will be effective. thanks a lot. ortiz, dmitri polk, us house intelligence committee is looking into a 2017, a legit, c i. a plot to kidnap wiki leaks 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,
9:13 am
including but not limited to the abduction of such kidnap aerial man hunt and shootout with russian spies in 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, saudi, who revealed americans for dirty secrets. location london, the year 2017 starting julian, a sorry, a man of interest. heidi ecuador embassy might compare, then c, i achieve that evil mastermind behind the operation. the russkies. the essential ingredient for any good spice dory. doubtless ya would break every possible law to silence independent journalist. stay to the upcoming details. may surprise you. we are recording chapter one, assassination. my compared wanted the cia to be creates in structure,
9:14 am
subordinates not to self sense of themselves. when it comes to dealing wiki links, sometimes, oh tricks work best they might have thought and came up with a good old assassination plot. detailed sketches options on how to murder a sound, reportedly with disgust in the white house on the finest 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 a very difficult position. when wikileaks released top secret cia papers, they were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about vault 7. they were seen blood chapter to kidnapping. but somebody in the white house might have thought paid, no killings where a civilized nation that's kidnapped this journalist and sentenced him to death by
9:15 am
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 found him. so the cia was going to kidnap a foreign citizen from the capital of washington's closest ally with no legal basis tool. a perfect master plan deed do could possibly spoil the fun russians. of course, chapter 3, fighting russians. what is vladimir putin intelligence gets there, 1st, a dunce assange, and then flies him to moscow. that's a possibility. the paranoid cia offices thought brace yourself. the plan to counts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left nothing to chance. the sand
9:16 am
gets into the car with the russian operatives. the 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's way the plane take self with a flat tire, the c i a hovers a helicopter over, it still manages to leave the ground. they demand for the european countries close their recipes. we are still talking about catching julian assange, not the number one terrorist. oh, well, if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american government's path, the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. rule of law may not advise you. earlier i spoke with geopolitical analyst and editor at 21st century wire, patrick kenning sent, who suspects the democrats are using the probe to pursue their own partisan
9:17 am
interests. 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 julius 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 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 rushes envoy to the chemical
9:18 am
9:19 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i those 3 how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time, time to sit down and talk oh, come back. moscow representative to the international chemical weapons, watch dog o p c, w says it's western members are dodging key questions on the alleged poisoning of
9:20 am
russian opposition. figure alex, a novelty earlier this month, a group of $45.00 member states and the organization for the pro ha bishan of chemical weapons, questioned russia over the case. moscow replied, then sent a counter request to the 4 countries that had made the poisoning allegations. that's the u. k. france, germany and sweden. however, none of those countries sent a concrete response. russian officials have not found any evidence to support the theory that no volney had been poisoned with a nerve agent and rushes representative to the o. p. c. w. alexander shogun explained moscow's position so was to look at the western countries, didn't respond to the questions we asked as well as some questions, aside, considered beneath their dignity, reacting to them. but they were still questions that received their attention. they gave us answers which are not really answers in our opinion, not to be unfounded. i'll give you just 2 examples. we asked germans who was that mysterious person on board?
9:21 am
the ambulance claim that accompanied the valley from arms to berlin. the german side responded that the plane was chartered by a private company and that no officials from the government or any other official body were on board. the answer is not convincing at all. it's difficult to believe that the german government didn't have a list of passengers. it means they're clearly hiding something and not only from us, but also from their own. m. p. 's. another example we asked the u. k. what role the newly minted citizen of the british crown miss pet shift was known to be under the protection of u. k. special forces plays in the mikey case. the british response was that the role of patrick in the valley's anti corruption activities was well documented in the media. we ask one thing, they respond with another. the same goes for all other questions, be at the chemical formula of the substance, allegedly found in the blog as body or the notorious bottle with fingerprints or with chemical traces. that's the picture we get. and that's why we say that our western partners gave us empty answers devoid of content,
9:22 am
yet jabbed or gold. the mayor of new york has set a 29th of october deadline for city employees to get at least one vaccine shot war . go on, unpaid leave. he is even offering a $500.00 sweetener, but many key workers are still resisting. 1000 new york city fi fi is that put there was a lot new york city on the pandemic, or give you a mandate to get facts stated, will lose their jobs. i'm worried, it's very hard to step before houses as it is, will definitely be closing for houses if the amount of people that have told me they're not to get vaccinated. if they get sent home, there's going to be serious operational problem. and that's why you see your residence farseason is coming, but also we responded medical events as well. this month the us passed the grim landmark of $700000.00 covert debts that says 57 percent of the population are fully vaccinated, but many are still standing up against job mandates and growing and a growing number of police officers health care professionals. and even scientists
9:23 am
have now moved from words to direct action as caleb bump and 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. guy. i look 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, 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. it's essential must be clear. vaccination requirements should not be another issue at devises. and i'm asking everyone,
9:24 am
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 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 saw protests from nurses, firefighters, and police officers. the state of washington ended up losing a $127.00 civil service, half of which were state troopers who refused to get the shot. he can take my job. he can't take my spirit. he can't take me morals or my ethics. more surprisingly, a high profile us national security lab could be affected. los alamos,
9:25 am
a vital hub of the past 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 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 staffed 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,
9:26 am
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. the world health organization is strongly advising people to get vaccinated and says jobs prepare your immune system for an encounter with viruses, but west benedict from the u. s. libertarian party warns that coercion is counter productive and is actually leading to less freedom all around. when, when we're lucian, our most talented workers, we're going to have to spend a lot of time training new people and hiring them. and probably by the time the new people are trained, the peep, the corona virus will have subsided and not be an issue anymore. with these policies of crime is going up. a service levels are down at hospitals and clinics the stores. they still have food, but they don't have the variety that they used to have are,
9:27 am
are major retailers are running out of products. a lot of this is because of policies adopted by our government that are making it harder to do business and to get things done. ah, i understand the corona virus is a serious issue. i personally chose to get the vaccine, 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 or than half of americans say they now face shortages when trying to buy common consumer products. that's according to a new poll. people have been filming empty shelves and shops showing pictures just like the disruption scene. at the beginning of the pandemic. a huge backlog has hit american ports because of corona virus restrictions, prompting a bottleneck and getting goods to stores. to hard hit ports in california, as well as chain stores and delivery services are now moving to 24247 operations to
9:28 am
try to resolve the situation. however, the white house is downplayed the disruption. turning one journalist's challenge into a joke, as lauren chen reports over the past several weeks, the number of people on social media complaining about things like mt shelves and supermarkets, restaurants to running out of certain food items or the price of goods just playing increasing has exploded but in response to these problems, actually the bided administration just doesn't seem too concerned when asked about supply chain issues. this is what jim sack, he had to say. it was crystal clear that things were not improving on supply chain . people couldn't get dishwashers in furniture and treadmills delivered on time, not to mention all sorts of other things. so why does your tragedy of the short the treadmill? let's delete the trip. the problem. and similarly, liz reynolds, a special assistant to the president, has been quoted as saying you won't be able to get the jacket in 15 colors, but you will be able to get the jacket. and when asked about the supply chain
9:29 am
breakdown at transportation, secretary p put at edge seemed to imply that the problem was actually that americans were simply trying to buy too much and cleaning out stores that way. but seeing as how inflation levels are at worrying highs in the united states and there are reports of transportation cargoes waiting off the coast of california to unload their goods. it really doesn't seem like people are just doing too much shopping. i have noticed that there you are items on with this, not everybody. i look for stuff right now and a lot of people are getting laid off. and i do believe people will start already certain items just like how the beginning of the band in people did with toilet paper and so on and so forth. store prices are on the rise, it's gonna add them until they can get all those cargo ships unloaded. in the cargo moved from fort it's a little scary. i mean i, i wish that there was morgan evasion. i had, i feel that there is a lot more that the city could do an electrical business and everything is back
9:30 am
order. you've got to wait months. well, i think it's terrible. i think that it's a major problem and it needs to be addressed. and i don't know that bad. washington is doing a whole lot about it, but it was in california in here, but it may, it doesn't know what he was doing and he just ignored it. if they would stop really making jokes about it and actually action things, we would get things done. and while there are people out there who will try to blame coded or the pandemic in general for these economic lows, it is worth noting that florida governor rhonda santas has pleaded with companies many times at least on social media, to import their goods through florida rather than california, assuring them that florida is open for business. in contrast to this, however, it seems like the biden administration is more concerned with regulating american workers instead of allowing them to simply.
