a top headlines for this, our live on oxy, the public mood swings to the right in front of the head of the presidential election. and there is no shortage of candidates to meet the populace agenda. america's top medical agency admit funding research on transmitting that of baton corona viruses to humans in china's woo hand province. there's something previously added repeatedly denied under oath by the white house is disease advisor. i've written prime minister was accused of selling out working people, but failing to band practice. so fire and re hire, which allows employers to give workers less favorable terms and conditions. also in the program rushers, defense minister says his german counterpart should know better than to call for nate toes are deployed nuclear weapons,

a long rushes borders ah 4 pm on saturday and this is ante is a national life for moscow. a very will welcome to you, i'm rural research. will a push to the right seems to be key to success in french elections these days. some major candidates for president and even those who haven't yet officially announced that candidacy are all talking from way right of center. for example, such as an example, a talk show host, a new darling of the french right wing. he's even tempting marine la pens, voters away, and quick becoming a strong rival of the current president. emanuel micron ortiz at charlotte to whiskey fall. this report from paris. the players may know to poll yet be declared, but with less than 6 months before from the seas presidential election, the game is being played in right wing territory with participants trying to score

on topics such as immigration, identity and security. emanuel mac, korn has slashed the number of these it deliveries to countries such as to new z, algeria and morocco. marina pan proposed is a referendum on immigration and makes it more, says france must stop both illegal and legal immigration when the legal and legal immigration. that's exactly what i'm saying today. today, a lot of french people are just sick and tired really, that there is no politician in our these pastors has tackled this. sure. immigration, nobody's doing anything. and you kind of feel that in trask that the situation is that it's very laxed and that nobody is doing a thing and is treating problems. and these problems are not being tackled by the government. grants has no policy. real policy concerning immigration,

these past decides say these past 20 years, and this is starting to become a huge problem in france. ah, vania sticks to that messenger on immigration saying it's weakening, frances sense of identity. my colon has set up a think tank to combat wookey st. id, ology that he believes is infecting the country. meanwhile, the more wants to ban norman french names. valerie p. c, says french laws must have precedence over european jurisdiction. must be watching with interest as poland bottles brussels on the same issue with my own. some countries have a stronger appetite for integration. others not only nancy, this issue in the opposite way in some countries constitution say you laura supreme other say the opposite. so this constitutional pluralism, this pluralism, has to be respected. if the you care about is strong economic and political role

and aspiration in the world, there are a lot of similar to celebrities between the re wing their movements which are getting a popularity here in france. and what trump did in. ready the us, i think that trump fingerprinted also to progress the identity problems that the americans were facing. and these issues are coming in france. parties on the right . entranced, want to go borders. they want to check, was coming into the country to run a privilege. the french workers are immigrant or foreign workers, so yes, of course this is very close. busy to what donald trump, i was promoting in the red during his campaign and what he tried to do once he was elected, ah, false is still worried about potential terror attacks. pretty much all the candidates know security is a key issue for vote is or reading to be only defensive may not met corns part. he's introduced controversial bills. one issue such as global security and in

defense of the french republic lapel has styled her party as one of justice. and buddha is javier baton says he's priorities include the protection of the french, the owned of impunity, all the while supporting the police. is it more has said that security is the very 1st freedoms there's an ongoing problem with insecurity code, you know, crime of various kinds of petty crime and more serious crime in the what are called label. and you're the suburbs, particularly of paris and the other big cities. then of course, that's the ongoing issue of terrorism, which has hit france. probably, i think more than any other european country. all of this claim out as the potential candidates are seemingly seeking both on the same pool. so why have frances would be captain shifted to the rights in 2017?

the socialist party collapsed in france and mac hall, who of course, came from a full swa loans team. he basically took over the socialists, the old socialist electorate, but an all institutes of health official has admitted us taxpayer, money, finance, testing, mice in china, with backbone of irish, genetically altered to make it more transmissible to humans. now the danger, as such, research has always been that the virus could escape the lab and spark a public health disaster. limited experiment described in the final progress report was testing if spike proteins from naturally occurring. but corona viruses circulating in china were capable of binding to the human ac to receptor in a mouse model. laboratory mice infected with a s h c 014, w i v one bat corona virus became sicker than those infected with the w i. v one bat corona virus. eco hell fell to report this find in right away as was required

by the terms of the grant. and yet for months the biden administration's big cheese on the disease. doctor anthony found, she denied any claims that the u. s. funded such projects, it comes as vindication for republican senator ran paul, who's quest for transparency on the investigation, was beginning to look like a rat race? no one saying that you are, it is ours to it. and malachi lives virus cause the pandemic. what were alleging is the gain of function research was going on in that lab, and an i h funded it that is an ide away from it. it meets your definition and you are up to skating the truth. anybody have lying here, senator? it is you. some experts say found she knowingly misled the country. the national institutes of acknowledgement of the facts is new, but the facts themselves and not new. the national institutes of health who's informed about the gain of function research in whoo, and 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 back, let's a seems that the us is tried to cover up 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 to u. s. official cover ups and lies with a disturbing question being, why are cover ups and lies needed? these the most recent revelations show that they found a 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 writing these organizations. and frankly, i think there needs to be a forward open investigation that whether or not they did know directly no. and if

so, they should be held to the, to the fullest extent of punishment, or that if history is a judge of how it's going to go, we're going to see little to no accountability. but i hope i'm wrong. meanwhile, it's emerge that anthony found she has been the top paid federal employee for years in 2004, he was granted a permanent pay adjustment for bio defense research, you know, owns more than the u. s. president spy cohen says the revelations about gain of function camera research really come as no surprise. i think it is the height of a good say to believe that what we know the u. s. government to have done from the 193-949-5900. 697992020 cents has suddenly magically stopped in the 20 twenty's that you know, a decade century plus of subterfuge in 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 out working people. that's the accusation against britain's prime minister bowers johnson, a bit of rise and so called fire and re hire practices. the notorious scheme of dropping then re employing workers on worse terms has intensified during cope it. that's according to the unions. and the opposition has 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 burris johnson who's ordering his m p. 's to vote down to bill selling out work and people in the process is co air social.

it's bullying here. and i can tell you from experience it's, it's very, it's a, it's a very unpleasant situation, almost feels like being in an abusive relationship wrong because the workplace is the relationship teachers. you know, it is built on trust and confidence. i'm what fire rehired does, is it breaches so much 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 anymore. am because because it's abuse of nature, raise it off, it goes or show nearly a quarter of all you k workers say they're working term such as pay or hours. have all been downgraded during cove. it and he say they faced the fire and re hire practice themselves having to re apply for their old jobs on worse terms and

conditions all face the sac abortion in himself is corpus whole practice. unacceptable. however, fire and re hire remains illegal, provided that due process as of followed leica, formerly consulting workers and observing set notice periods. but kevin burn the former u. k. gas industry work you just heard from believe the laws are actually protecting exactly the wrong people. so force that because you know, i am a law abiding citizen, like most people and you know, i'm 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 it worse, me is yes, it is the final insult. because when i embark on my disputes, my in san sherman, the sanction of my colleagues and comrades was so when are the speech and to win a so convincingly bass, no company would,

would use fire and re hire. but fortunately, that didn't happen, you know, it's to paraphrase, harper late is bought to kill a mockingbird. the definition of courage is when you know you left from the beginning, you begin anyway. and that's what we did. because we were off against the, with, with the corporation such as british gas. moscow has warned berlin and its nato allies not to tempt fate by deploying military hardware, including nuclear weapons, close to russia, borders against the backdrop of calls to contain russia. nato was amassing his forces along russia's borders. the german defense minister should know very well what consequences such moves have led to in the past. both for germany and europe. at stern river came shortly after germany's defense minister, called on nato, to be ready to deploy nuclear weapons, to quote, deter russia near its maritime borders in the baltic and black sea and the burden

official was unchallenged. to explain her remarks. blue dust white weiss reported this morning, the paint is contemplating deterrent scenarios for the baltic and black sea regions of possibly evolving air. deployed nuclear weapons. is this the best nate is prepared to take this is that's the path of declaring didn't. we must make it very clear to russia that in the end, we're ready each month, and that is also the deterrence doctrine in due to deploy, such means is to deter in advance. and so that nobody comes to the idea of attacking nato partners in the bull. taken black c regions and this is a commons coincided with nato unveiling his new master plan to defend the block against what it coals a potential rush, an attack on multiple fronts of the western military. alons held a 2 day meeting of defense ministers that wrapped up on friday. and here's how nato's secretary general describe the current state of relations between the block and russia. april. so approach sharon to russia remains the same as before, meaning credible the turns on the fence, combined with efforts to

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 need to expansion into the former soviet goes against promises was given to mikhail gorbachev. back in 1999, even the soviet union current and what was collapse that leads to wouldn't expand those norms. interesting as well, is that germany a traditional recently been quite comma in regards to russia, washing ones, germany, to increase this military spending in order to comply with linux, which americans basically says which ones germany to join britain in france and thinking a much more bell coast stance towards a towards russia. so i suspect is a game going on in conway in german politics as that iraq. and joe comes to an end table with bill to come here on this program. turns out,

going green in germany has ignited more than a public debate. as electric buses apparently keep catching on fire while at the charging station at story animal, we're back in one of them. a ah ah ah ah ah, ah with so i

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on offensive, very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk ah, your saturday stories here or nazi, one of germany's largest public transport companies has pulled 8 electric buses out of service and munich. it comes as a precautionary measure after a charging station was destroyed by fire late last month. the company blames a technical defect for the blaze, but that appears to be rather well it appears to be rather wide spread across the

country at the moment with these electric buses. so is our correspond peter oliver with a rather worrying details. as berlin embraces electric transportation, these battery powered buses have been 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 buses. the most recent in september, ang stuttgart, has raised questions about safety. not just of buses, but all electric vehicles. yeah. absolute. yes. the risk of these fires 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 debt post electric bosses and the deepest for other buses will be separated and that fire

barriers will be detailed between the individual bosses 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 and every 12 calls sold was 100 percent electric. when you put hybrid into the mix, you're looking at a 3rd of all sales across europe. it's been a meteoric rise as well back in 2018, less than 200000 electric vehicles were sold here in year of this year though, we're expecting that figure to be well over $1000000.00. 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 knave is an incredible on the statement. one, despite bows concerns, electric vehicles, including buses like these do seem like they are going to be the future. in fact, manufacturer is 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 potential safety worries. and not everybody is willing to hop on one of these bosses just now. peter oliver, aussie berlin supporters of julian san should have held a people's tribunal in london on alleged us war crimes revealed by the wickedest founder which reportedly led to a c. i a plot to have him killed. and the tribunal was intended to strengthen public backing off the whistleblower head of his u. s. s. tradition hearing and we had a chance to speak with some of the members at this tribe you the point i was making

in a democratic society security service. and the military and the special forces have to be accountable. my whole point is that junior is in a different country and a different place. so we seems a hero 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, julianna's colleges, night movie, right up with somebody that told the truth. there is an irony in the fact that the student info to extra dition order and they appeal against against the verdict to say that he should have been the type that the rule that you've seen due to that was developed in the

following day. for me is a cornerstone of legislation and i think it's already in the fact that those that are being used now to excite him to the us and when it comes to the issue of genius and it's very significant the nation in june and june, the softness actions around the world have 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 council to accounts, which is to expose in just to face non important parts of our democratic society must be defended. and while the belmont tribunal named after the jail where assange is being held, had no legal bearing, it aim to elicit public attention following the footstep of

a similar event conducted half a century ago, condemning us actions in vietnam. next week, assange faces a hearing into his possible extradition to america on espionage charges. he could be in prison for a 175 years. and we spoke to the wiki lisa editor in chief co founder that of a christian hanson. he told us that as i just case at the end of the day, is simply politically motivated. recent revelation shows so without any doubt. so the political elements of the case because to view sounds well, we have all the human rights and civil liberties, organization of any married to teaming up together. i have to talk to this to be a just so come just as for julian, just as for journalism because that's what stick to realtor. i spoke to a documentary filmmaker, an investigative journalist, john pilcher, who believed the whole case against 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 government power. yeah. that's what this is. this is, this is what you probably say. 20081 of which you least, 1st major lakes in march, the 18th, 2008 is from b u. s. army counter intelligence assessment branch, department of defense. you read through this document. it lays out everything good happened. i from 2010, but we will get a song by smearing him. i to spread visiting him by destroying trust and will be late ah,

and good from here. wrong investigative journalism. all this time are not the words . serious investigative journalism is our number. well, this is a show trial i, i've actually sat in on china and this is a short trial either through news cost for this half hour here we're doughty, international life from oscar. thank you for sharing your saturday with us here on the russian capital mini hop hospital in the afternoon. more of a stories is still to come when we return at the top of the ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics, small business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm.

oh, that won't work. they putting additional money down. and that the additional money goes to. so the children education and val fair, also household. and then told me to go to savings and if a country as a savings it can improve itself and produce growth. i think to them say that, but they must us for this moment to be included in the household so that the household income will be higher and the come face income that will be higher with with

this blue bus, the one visit show you care to for demit number 2 more, and i'm rachel loven's in washington and coming out the supply chain issue, trading in the united states and prompt and president biden. you float the idea of using the national guard to ease pressure on the situation straight ahead. we'll discuss the latest, the onboarding shortages. and as the netflix shows wid game has taken the world by storm, the hist out free and program has brought the issue of debt to the foreground. later on will break down the state of peripheral debt, especially among the young people. we have packed joe today looked, i've read it and we lead the program with an economic story that has been hogging headlines in recent weeks. supply chain issues continue to hamstring. the bibles administration. in fact, concerns over how to get more supplies off barges and into ports is such a problem that president biden is now considering using the national guard to help resolve the bottlenecks. now in a cnn town hall,

the president said he would consider using the nash guard to move products in order to increase the number of truckers on the rope. so let's go further in depth on what is happening with the supply chain ball next week. boom, less co host benz juan and christy i. ben, let's start with you here. so what about this plan to use the national guard? i mean, is this something new and profound? you think it will happen and of course would help relieve some of these supply chain issues. well, that's, and i think at this point, so many people are thinking, anything's better than what we have right now. right? but the truth is the national guard plan is actually not a good plan at all, and it wouldn't really work. it would simply be done for optics if anything. and the reason for that is consider the fact that number one, when we're talking about all.
