ah, theory hits brick wall, it's a tend to whip poland into submission only aggravating the ro over the rule of law . also this morning, moscow says it's not surprised by nato's aggressive rhetoric off to germany is now calling for nuclear weapons to be deployed near russia's borders. america's leading medical research agency admits funding controversial research into back corona viruses in china's will hand something previously repeatedly denied by the white as his top infectious disease expert and the u. k. prime ministers are accused of selling out working people for failing to bomb the practice of fire and re hire. that allows employees to give work as less favorable terms and conditions. ah,

oh, good morning from russia you're watching out international the weekend live with me . kevin owen from world news h q. i'm here for the next 30 minutes. it's 8 in the morning. moscow time. first, the new leaders that demanding that poland of bay, a european court ruling to restore the independence of the country's judges. but the route of summit and brussels has exposed a critical divide over the supremacy of european law. more on it this morning than from a correspondent, shallow dubin ski person. so message is coming out from that european council meeting. the summit has been taking place in brussels for the last 2 days. you seemed members that he is, were coming out and singing to the same him are basically saying that poland has to know that the rule of law is central to the heart and foundations of the european union. and what poland must do now is toe the line. a long road ahead of us. this

road is a combination of dialogue, legal response, and concrete action to we store the independence of the judiciary. young. i'm not, you know, that there is no european country the content itself. european, if it's judges are not independent. this is at the heart of our fundamental tax victory by for my own. some countries have a stronger appetite for you integration. others not only poland, see this issue in the opposite way. some countries constitution, c, e u, laura's supreme other say the opposite. so this constitutional pluralism, this pluralism, has to be respected if the cares about his strong economic and political role and aspiration in the world. another hot topic then that was being discussed was that of that migration e leaders saying once again, the issue right now is coming from bella. russo image, tottenham belief that we're focused on external migration,

especially from baller as to e member states. this constitutes a hybrid threat. one has to be frank about that guns. mr. lucas shanker was using people for his policy. we consider the behavior of the bellows government as a hybrid attack. we will keep up the pressure on the luke ankle regime and we are ready to explore options for further sanctions, not only for individuals but also for entities or companies. so possibly new sanctions against a bela roof. however, there are some that say that sanctions are not the way food, and in fact, all they doing is aggravating situations. they were around 1400 illegal migrants who went in to poland. so it's actually quite a small figure. what isn't a small figure though, is the crisis that energy air is creating in europe ahead of this winter, easily just scratching their heads as to how they're going to deal with that crisis in the coming months and potentially as spain is suggested into next winter. and

there are some e u countries saying that the problem here is the making of the e u, because of it's pushed towards green energy sources, which it doing at the expense of a traditional fossil fuels. and it hasn't quite got there yet to pursue that green energy agenda to make up that shortfall. however, the commission president ursula vaughan delane, seeing that that is a determined path for the e. u. for the future. it's obvious that we need more renewable and clean energy. if you look at the production price of renewables, it has considerably decreased for solar. alongside this we need a stable source, nuclear and during the transition of course, natural gas. now there's also suggestion coming out from that council meeting that the e was going to be looking at. you political issues impacting the energy crisis between

you and i that is code for russia. however, the russian president, vladimir putin has said on several occasions now that russia is ready to step up to the plate and to help you out with the gas supplies it needs to mitigate this crisis that is due to hit in the next few months. in fact is already biting, but the key issue here is that the e u has to ask. now the big started making the rounds this morning, germany's defense minister says that nato is prepared to deploy nuclear weapons to deter russia near its borders. in the baltic and black sea white race reported this morning that nita is contemplating the turn scenario for the baltic and black sea regions. thing possibly involving air deployed nuclear weapons. is this the bath? nate is prepared to take 2. that's the path of de terran cycle. we must make it very clear to russia that in the end we're ready, seattle, and that is also the deterrence doctrine to deploy sex means is to deter in advance . and so that nobody comes to the idea of attacking nato partners in the baltic and

black sea region. it will come as coincide with nato, veiling its new master plan to defend the block against what it calls a potential russian attack on multiple fronts. the western military lives held a 2 day meeting of defense ministers that wrapped up on friday. his own nato secretary general, described the current state of relations them with moscow. it'll soon approach sharon to russia. her remains the same as before, meaning earn credible the turns on the friends, combined with efforts to her have a meaningful dialogue with russia. the relationship between nato and russia is now at a low point. it has not been more difficult since to handle the cold war. and sanitary expansion into an armor saga comics goes against promises was given to mikhail gorbachev. back in 1989, 1919 and saw that you knew ms. kerrington what his class that needs a wound expanding to the zones as interesting as well, is that germany has

a traditional, recently been quite calmer in regards to russia. washington, once joan re to increased his military spending in order to comply with lennox, which americans basically said, which ones germany to join britain, france, and seeking a much more bellicose stance towards a towards russia. so i spent the game going on in conway and german politics. as the era of angel narco comes to an end, nate has been jittery over supposed threat a few times this year in april when russia conducted drills near its border with ukraine and last months during a joint military exercise with belarus, musket insisted. there's no hidden agenda behind any of those trails. on monday, rush or announce is suspending nato's military liaison mission after the alliance expelled 8th russian diplomats from brussels. prominent spokespersons saying, nato's new strategy proves moscow is right to sever those ties. there is no need

for dialogue under these conditions and natives who concept just goes to prove it. russia hasn't been under any illusions regarding nato. we know what to raise on diatra. this alliances, this alliance was not created for peace. it was created for confrontation, austria's foreign minister chipping into warning that nato hostility is making europe and even more dangerous place and at the height of the cold war. up we have heard from boston back and the german defense minister it's, it's the regulatory, sorry, it's the regular last sentence that you after statement. and of course we're open for dialogue, but that generally dialogue hasn't been down for years. and in particular, with regards to in whiting additional countries, insulin made so this of course gifts which was sort of for the russian side, i won't be much more food. and if i were an april official or a german at defense minister in, in, in making these sort of statements. because we are definitely in a situation where

a certain things on the need a little step in order to, to, to walked the wrong direction. and we have seen over decades about what can be built up in terms of confidence, building measures, allotment, and much more to choose from the 9th and 7th is h is with the dance you see process was the exchange of military observation posts. so in much worse times out there, there was maybe a better decree of communication done today. and this is most from a victim to the fact that we missed this, her talents of being able to talk to each other and to listen. and this is definitely to be observed on, on, on the ne society it's, it's, it's, it's, it's much more a kind of reading out lessons. america's leading medical research agency has admitted funding risky studies into bats. and corona viruses in

china's wilheim province, despite earlier denials from america's top infectious disease expert, dr. on to the found she, the u. s. money had gone into the so called gain of function research, a corresponded daniel armstrong, looks at the implications then a game of fat and mouse in the u. s. over corona virus research findings and public funds. quite literally, a top national institutes of health official has admitted us taxpayer money, finance testing mice in china with back corona, virus genetically altered to make it more transmissible to humans. now the danger of such research has always been that the virus could escape the lab and spark a public health disaster. the limited experiment described in the final progress report was testing as spike protons from naturally occurring bad corona viruses. circulating in china were capable of binding to the human a, c e to receptor, and the mouse model. laboratory mice infected with the see age c o 14

w i v one bad corona virus became sicker than those infected with w i. v one that corona virus ego health failed to report this finding right away as was required by the terms of the grant. and yet for months the biden administration's big cheese on the disease thought to anthony found, she denied any claims that the u. s. funded such projects, it comes as vindication for republican senator run. paul, who's quest for transparency on the investigation, was beginning to look like a rat race? no one saying those are, it is ours didn't. and malachi, los virus cause the pandemic. what we're alleging is the gain of function research was going on in that lab and, and i h funded it that is not away from it. it meets your definition and you are obvious getting the truth. anybody would have lying here, senator, it is you. some experts say found she knowingly misled the country,

the national institutes of health, se acknowledgements of the facts is new, but the facts themselves and not new. the national institutes of health was informed about the gain of function research in wooten, in 2018 and again in 2020 collins and found she lied to congress light to the press and light to the public. now although the bat is out of the bag according to tay bags, let's say it seems that a u. s. has tried to cover of anything indicating any links to such research in we won the u. s. based ico health alliance. president pizza. dash jack was even chosen as part of a w h o team of experts to investigate the origins of cove it. but it seems that much of us top level efforts in the pandemic, not least, their insistence on blaming and investigating china have only exposed us official cover ups and lies with a disturbing question being why our cover ups and lies needed these. the most recent revelations show that they found she and national institute of health

director collins either outright wide or. busy have absolutely no idea what's going on with their agencies either way they have no business running these organizations . and frankly, i think there needs to be, afford open investigation that are whether or not they did know directly no. and if so, they should be held to the, to the fullest extent of punishment, or the if history is a judge of how it's going to go, we're going to see little to no accountability. and i hope i'm wrong. meantime, interesting aside. so all this is submerged, the to antony failed. she's been the top, paid federal employee for years in 2004. he was granted a permanent pay adjustment for bio defense research. he now earns more than, than the u. s. president spike co and say this is what we've come to expect from america. i think it is the height of 9 good. say to believe that what we know the u. s. government you have done from the 9 13949596979. 899202010 has suddenly magically stopped in the 20 twenty's that you know

a decade century plus of subterfuge and clandestine operations. and, you know, and cover ups and scandals and lice suddenly ended. even though no one ever was held accountable for the old lies and clandestine operations and so forth. so i hate to say that, you know, i don't think this is a one off this car for the course for large authoritarian government selling a working people that's accusation later on. britain's problem is devoris johnson. i'm going to rise in so called fire and high practices that a tourist scheme of re hiring employees on was terms as i tend intensify during that time. then they can, according to unions, positions harshly criticized the practice. this week, government has allowed bad bosses to force brutal changes to contracts and take thousands and wages from families. there is agreement across the political spectrum that fire and re hire is unfair, unjust and unacceptable. but once again, we have only warm wars and bluster from bars. johnson who's ordering his m piece to

vote down to bill selling out work. and people in the process is coercive. it's bullying it. and i can tell you from experience is it's very, it's, it is a very unpleasant situation, almost feels like be an end or an abusive relationship. because the workplace is a relationship. teachers, you know, it is built on trust and confidence. and what fire rehired does is it breaches, rash, trust, and confidence. and that's why i shall i have no other option, but to allow myself in my experience to be sat on the fiery high because i could not continue in that relationship any more. am because because of its abuse of nature, raising figures show nearly a quarter of all u. k. workers say they're working terms such as pay or hours have been downgraded during the pandemic. many say they've faced the hire and fire practice themselves

having to reapply for their jobs on worse terms conditions or faced the sack of birth. johnson himself called the practice an acceptable but to fire and re hire remains legal, provided the due process is of followed like formerly consulting work as an observing set notice period. the cabin burn, the former u. k. gas industry work he heard from before the leaves, the laws of protecting the wrong people. so force that because you know, i am a law abiding citizen, like most people, and i am led to believe that the laws of their suit to protect it. citizens for, i think, and with this experience the realize the laws are actually there to protect corporations and them and the money class. what makes the west me is yes, it is the final insult there. because when i embark on my disputes, my in san sherman, the sanction of my colleagues and comrades was so when our disputes and to win so convincingly bass, no company would,

would use fire and re hire. but for sleep that didn't happen. you know, it's to paraphrase, harper late m. m is bought to kill a mockingbird. the definition of courage is when you know you less from the beginning, but you begin anyway. and that's what we did. and because we were off against the, with, with the corporation such as british gas wanted germany's largest public transport companies has pulled 8 electric buses at a service in munich. it comes as a precautionary measure after a charging station was destroyed by fire late last month. the company blaming a technical defect for the fire, which appears to be quite a wide spread issue with electric vehicles in the country. peter, all of his got the latest on it as berlin embraces electric transportation. these battery powered buses that being traveling along the route, $200.00 for just over a year now, taking passengers to such sites as the german capitals loo, however,

3 fires across the country, a depos with electric bosis. the most recent in september, stuttgart has raised questions about safety. not just of buses, but all electric vehicles. yeah. absolute yes. easy. the risk of these 5 good and in other locations such as the bicycle basement or large apartment blocks, is completely unaddressed. also, insurance companies are not yet tackling the issue today. it's not regulated, in my opinion, it's not possible to regulate fires in general. so it is likely that that post electric bosses and the deepest for other buses will be separated and that fire barriers to still be detailed between the individual buses. to reduce the risk of europe is experiencing a boom in sales of electric vehicles with manufacturers of them doing a roaring trade between april and june of this year. one in every 12 calls sold was 100 percent electric. when you put hybrid into the makes it looking at

a 3rd of all sales across europe. it's been a meteoric rise as well. fucking 2018 less than 200000 electric vehicles. was sold fear in year of this year though. we're expecting that figure to be well over 1000000. in fact, when you look at these numbers globally, over the next 4 years, we're expecting to see 10000000 electric vehicles sold with that figure soaring to 30000000 by 2032 years ago. we as an electricity consumer protection organization decided to also address the issue of electron mobility. electricity consumption will increase by 25 percent as a result. although that is not the real problem, why shouldn't the main problem is that you need very high power to charge the batteries within a reasonable time. in the long run, this will lead to charging in private households. the development of an infrastructure to charge

a larger number of cars is completely undeveloped. people have been too naive about this. a name is an incredible on the statement title one. despite both concerns, electric vehicles, including buses like these do seem like they are going to be the future. in fact, manufacturer is a so confident that they're saying that if competitors don't stop producing electric models, well, they're not going to be competitors for very long. like moving from the horse to the car, it's that seismic it changes everything. and to such an extent that any players that don't pivot fast enough that don't invest are unlikely to survive in the future. here in germany, a poll earlier this year showed that almost 60 percent of the population was skeptical when it came to these electric bosses. people saying that they were unsure of the environmental compatibility when it comes to electric mobility.

added to that concerns over a potential safety worries. and not everybody is willing to hop on one of these bosses just now. peter, all of her asi berlin. good morning from oscar future tuned into his hope your weekend is going good. this is art international and ahead. major world economies might be talking green. but you and report no claims. they're actually playing to increase production of non renewable fuels over the next 2 decades. kevin, i would here tell him or another news to after the break. ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. well obviously, you the guess on the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm.

ah ah ah ah ah. ah. a pool. ah ah.

hi, good morning. supporters. during the sound you've held people's tribunals in london on alleged u. s. war crimes revealed by the wiki leagues found to which reportedly led led to a c, a plot to kill him. the tribunal was intended to strengthen public backing of the will sublime ahead of his us extradition hearing. we spoke to some of his members the point i was making it in a democratic society, security service. and the military and the special forces have to be accountable. my whole point is that julian is in a different country in a different place. so we have a hero. but because you'd be exposing what the us and britain in particular were doing, he's saying to me is somebody that when the history books are written, 21st century julian, his, his name movie right up with somebody that told the truth there is. and i really need to talk to,

to need to order the appeal against against the verdict to say that he shouldn't be the type that you've been do to move you know, in the following day for me is a cornerstone of the legislation. and i think it's already in the fact that those that are being used now to ex die him to the us. and when it comes to the issue of genius and it's very significant, the nation in june and july, something has actions around the world spoken up so clearly about the situation that julia found as, as faced because it is intended, in my view, to intimidate june elsewhere and in the future from exposing more crimes from exposing human rights abuses. and of course,

that's an incredibly important part of the role of journalism which is to hold the capital to accounts, which is to expose in just to face non important parts of our democratic society. must be defended, while the marsh tribunal, named after the jail were sanchez being held, had no legal bearing. it did a to elicit public attention over the matter. calling the footsteps of a similar event conducted half a century ago, condemning back van us action to vietnam. next week, the assange face is a hearing into his possible legs tradition to the u. s. on espionage charges he could be jailed for up to a 175 years. wikileaks, editor in chief christian ha, france, and told us to sanchez, cases, politically motivated. as a recent revelation shows, so without any doubt. so the political elements of the case because today on sounds know we have all so human rights and civil liberties, organization of any married to teaming up together. i have to talk to this to be at

your so come her just as for julian, just as for journalism, because that's what the step here. we spoke to, to a documentary filmmaker investigative journalist, john pilcher, who believes the whole case against the sanchez, a demonstration of power. this is a ca operation. any one who knows the united states well knows the power overseer, the extra judicial power overseer, the extra dumb, mental power of the c i. that's what this is. this is mrs. would you probably say 2008 on a wiki lace 1st major lakes? a march, the 18th, 2008 is from b u. s. army counter intelligence assessment branch. ah, to par on up to france. you read through this document. it lays out everything that

happens ah, from 2010. but we will get a song by smearing him, by discrediting him, by destroying trusting with the rates. and from here on the 1st figured in journalism of this crime, don't other words? serious investigative journalism is how i know my, well, this is a show trial. i've actually sat in on show and this is a show trial some countries have pledged ambitious renewable energy targets are already having to make you turn off to multi nationals and entire regions of suffolk power cuts, china's reverse no, then it stops that dirty. coal is a public enemy and is no telling cold months to produce as much as possible of the local operations of tech giants like apple at a scale. but production indeed at china is beerin seeing temporary energy

shortage power. the reason is because the chinese government has declared the coal as a public enemy. china wants to reduce the reliance on call. however, i think this is temporary, mainly because in recent months the chinese government as been rally in the cold producers in china to increase production because otherwise the child does not have enough coal locally produced. coupled with any prices, crude, oil, and natural gas, this winter will be very, very difficult. if i just what many major economies talking green a you and reporters from the countries like the us, us trailer and candidate are actually pulling to increase production of 30 non renewables over the next 2 decades above and beyond the limits set in the parents climate agreement by the end of the decade, 110 percent more fossil fuels will be produced by 2040. that number shoots up 290

percent. it also appears to make a bit of a mockery of western leaders claims that green energy is the way forward to address to climate disaster facing the nation in our world. by 2050, the united states will be 100 percent energy economy. what the president has clearly done is prioritized climate and investment in climate pushing for climate legislation. taking executive actions on climate redeploying renewable energy 10 times faster than the global average for pers. strayer, ease on the path, why the net 0, the u. k. government has decided to become the world leader in low cost, clean power generation cheaper than co, cheaper than gas. good to go telling us the a west boasts about green a particularly how to take them. of course, i think the whole world need to handle its energy policy very carefully from now on . on the one hand, the fight against the c o 2 emission should continue. and the countries i encourage

to reach and achieve their goals are respectively on the other hand and he is security, it need to be safe. god knows, with our energy society, economic production world ground to a halt. so how to balance these 2 seemingly conflicting goals is a big challenge for mankind right now. that's a challenge for all the countries. and the developed countries needs to do even better. why? because historically speaking, they have polluted much more than developing countries. go to 31 is pass they are, you'll find sodium or headlines, stories of features from us online. are tito comic until the boom bust is next we're going stateside. but for now in moscow, kevin know in the team with a big thanks for watching this news edition. we'll sincerely hope you have a great rest of the weekend.
