to humans in china's we ran something previously and repeatedly denied underwrote by the white house, his virus chief of the fabric. ah, i welcome to the weekend for marty international. i'm calling back with the big stories we're across of this, our 1st russian gas exported gas problem says it'll stop supplying moldova, if that eastern european state fails to fully pay off its debt to the company worth around $700000000.00. right now if the payment for gas supplies is not fully made and accordingly a new contract is not signed as of december. the 1st of this year, gas brom will stop gas supplies. html, dover, there are no politics yet. gas from is a joint stock company and cannot operate to so loss. it cannot afford to lose tax payments to the budget. there are limits to patients. moldova is the one provoking
1:02 pm
this crisis. well, previously, moldova had a long running a contract with gas problem where they received gas at a discounted rate for many years. and over that period, they didn't make the payments necessary on time. and eventually they have a mass. this the huge debt for $133000000.00. and then you have to count all the fees and funds for for a late payment of outstanding debt which runs up to $700000000.00. the contract itself expired at some time ago in the last hours before the contract expired, a gas pramod, moldova agreed to extend that, that contract by a month, but by december 1st they're going to have to come up with a new contract. and these talks have been ongoing for a while now. those are there was a lot of a lot of pressure on both sides. the mil dolan's demanded that they get a 50 percent discount according to some reports that have come out of those talks. and now now is basically crunch time because gas,
1:03 pm
palmers can just come out and said the moldova refuses to acknowledge it's, it's huge debt, it wants these new supplies with that. paying off it's old debt, and moldova has now declared a state of emergency. they say the gas applies in their pipelines are running out. so the, those, the pressure, the gas pressure is, is going down. so obviously supplies have been cut off gas from says that no such thing is happening that it needs a little time at to get those supplies running again, where we will go from here is, is anyone's guess. obviously, we have to bear in mind that there is a huge gas crosses all over the world, factories and plants in europe. ha, having to shut down businesses having to shut down. because at this point, it is now more expensive to buy gas ventre sell their projects, such of the costs of production now, and this is all over the european continent, not just the european union with britain, britain as well in china,
1:04 pm
we're seeing the same store. so obviously the moldova, nes, are asking for help the europeans and others, whether they will receive that help remains to be seen. turkish president has ordered the ambassadors of 10 western allies, including the u. s. france, germany to be declared persona non grata the 1st step towards expelling them from the country. it's after the envoys called for the release of a turkish businessman and activist jail and awaiting trial on anti government activity. if not, i gave the necessary instructions to our minister of foreign affairs. i told him what he had to do, deal with the declaration of these 10 ambassadors as persona non grata as soon as possible. on cabal has been in custody since late 2017 charge for financing protests, and participating, and failed coo, all of which he denies. our president, i do and described him as a target leg of controversial billionaire investor george soros foods act of his stances that one has repeatedly condemned. the ambassadors issued
1:05 pm
a joint statement denouncing turkeys handling of a cavalier case to day marks for years. sincere ongoing detention of osman cavallo begin, the continued delay in his trail, inclusion by emergency different cases and creates new ones after previous acquittal, cast a shadow over respect for democracy. the rule of law, andras' baron, see in the turkish dish or a system. let's say with spats heading, then let's talk to geo political, endless reign of office. welcome back to r t at the ambassadors of these countries, most of them and nato allies. they must have known that president addison, a leader, that takes criticism likely to think they were aware that their move would cause such a reaction. i'm not really sure if they are expecting such a harsh reaction that 10 ambassadors and shall be to care persona non grata. this is really an extreme reaction and it shows to me the
1:06 pm
great attentions that we are having between turkey and the e. u and the other nato countries on earth in general. so it's surely not only the case of, of my customer kabbalah that is here at stake. but it's about a style of yeah, authoritarian leadership that the western countries oppose and the turkey claims to see as its own sovereign right. and to determine how to do their internal affairs and they reject any interference into their judiciary. although it's not just reacting to their own thoughts about osman, co, valor, is it this is because of a european court of human rights ruling that has been ignored by turkey. so do you think president o 2 ends got a bit too far? well,
1:07 pm
i think this is hard to say because we would need further insight about cover last real ro will in the attempt attempted coup of 2016. it's of course not very likely that the trials will bring to light the true story, but what rated some concern is that a cover le indeed was the founding member of the open society foundation of george soros in turkey. so there are certain relationships with those millionaires and philanthropists who often have interfered in other countries. internal government affairs, be ukraine or belie with and so we need to definitely further insight and further investigation in kabbalah roll. could this move back fire on president on the
1:08 pm
currency the layer is deteriorating, the of the pressures on turkey as well, could it be storing out more problems in the near future? you know, of course. busy in the perspective of the european union, turkey has proved through this step that it is not a really reliable partner for the european union, nor may be for the nato if own interests are involved to turkey will always choose its own way and not to stick to the commitment made to what you are nato. busy this is surely one of the consequences and that the, the western partners of turkey will draw now. now sometimes, but not always, of course, these tit for tat measures do seem to start to take on a life of their own. do you think the president should expect further retaliation from the countries whose ambassadors he's now threatening to expel? and yes, i can imagine that there will be now an upward spiral. busy of tensions,
1:09 pm
but i also think that the european union needs a turkey as a partner just as a nature to us. and so i expect that and after a few weeks of the situation may be east. so given this is just one of several, there's a series of these spat between turkey and either the a you or other western allies at what point is going to be a point of no return is, is put back towards the final step in a breakdown of relations, i mean we have gone already through quite harsh attentions with turkey and the relationships have survived everything so far. if we look back at 974, take over of northern cypress and annexation has not been reverted. and since now, if we look at the tensions of out of the gas resources in the mediterranean,
1:10 pm
there were really a start tension that even had already a military component with france. and so i think that the resilience of relationships between you and turkey is quite strong and they will also handle this crisis and certainly testing instructor integrity. okay, always good to get you right. considered insight on this is we can write a read ross during his life from germany. thank you. thank you. next to a push to the right seems to be the key success in french elections these days and some major candidates for presidents and even those who haven't yet announced their candidacy. officially. all talking way right of center such as eric samouce, a talk show host, a new darling of the french right when he's even tempting marina pens voters away. i'm becoming a strong rival of current president, emmanuel. i'm a chrome shell to do bad sky and paris explains the players may know to pull yet be
1:11 pm
declared, but with less than 6 months before prophecies 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 i . l. g, rear, 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 power. these testers, tackle this. sure. immigration, nobody is doing anything. and you kind of feel that in trask that the situation is that it's very laxed and that nobody is doing
1:12 pm
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. ready 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 this issue in the opposite way
1:13 pm
in some countries constitution say you laurie supreme other say the opposite. so this constitutional pluralism, this pluralism, has to be respected. if the kids about a strong economic and political role and aspiration in the world, there are lots of 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 and fast parties on the right. entranced, want to do borders, they want to check was coming into the country to run a privilege. the french workers had an immigrant or so yes, of course this is very close. busy to what donald trump was promoting in the way 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
1:14 pm
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. but tony 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 of 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 of 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 candidate saw, see move,
1:15 pm
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 michael, who of course, came from francois loans team. he basically took over the socialists, the old socialist electorate, but of course, he is not himself particularly socialist, so he has, he has occupied that particular space. and the socialist party has not found a candidate yet. who has the ability to challenge him on the left. as only poll suggests the country is overwhelmingly disappointed with macro and all of the others who are offering to take charge. but in a pinch, most people tend to vote with what they know. meaning that the park is still at
1:16 pm
least, but now in macros. rink, charlotte, even sky artsy, paris, america's leading medical research agency has admitted funding risky studies into bats and corona viruses in china's wu and province. despite earlier denials from america's top infectious disease expert, dr. antony 40 the u. s. money had gone into so called gain of function. research corresponded daniel armstrong, looks at the implications 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, 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 2 receptor in
1:17 pm
a mouse model. laboratory mice infected with the s h c 014, w i v one. but corona virus became sicker than those infected with the w i. v one. batt 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 those are, it is ours. it was in my ledger lows virus cause the pandemic. what were alleging is the gain of function research was going on in that lab and, and i h funded it that isn't right away from it. it meets your definition and you are obvious getting the truth. anybody have lying here, senator?
1:18 pm
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 whoo, han, in 2018 and again in 2020 collins and felt she lied to congress light to the press and light to the public. now although the bat is out of the bag according to tobacco, let's say it seems that the u. s. has 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 us official cover ups and lies with a disturbing question being why our cover ups and lies needed these most recent revelations show that
1:19 pm
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 and 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 a little to no accountability. but i hope i'm wrong. meanwhile it emerged it's, anthony found she has been the top paid federal employee for years and 2004. he was granted a permanent pay adjustment for bio defense research. he now and more than the u. s . president spike come in, says the revelations about gain of function research really comes no surprise. i think it is the height of a nice to say to believe that what we know the u. s. government you have done from the 193-949-5900.
1:20 pm
697992040 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 in life 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 the car for the course for large authoritarian government over the weekend on the way the criminal defense chief wants his german counterpart risks for painting a tragic historical precedent of to she calls to put nato nuclear weapons long brushes. borders is one about still is still head after this. ah,
1:21 pm
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 don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk to others, driven by dream shaped bankers. and those with dares sinks. we dare to ask
1:22 pm
oh oh hello again. moscow's won't berlin, and it's nato allies not to tempt fate by deploying military hardware, including nuclear weapons, close to brushes, boulders 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. let stand remark, i'm surely off the 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 seas. the beneficial said challenge to explain her hostile remarks. blue dust white weiss reported this morning, the plaintiff contemplating the turn scenario for the baltic and black sea regions of possibly evolving air. deployed nuclear weapons. is this the best nate is
1:23 pm
prepared to take this is that's the path of declaring this one. we must make it very clear to russia that in the end we're ready each month, and that is also the deterrents doctrine in 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 her comments coincided with nato unveiling. it's new master plan to defend the block against what it calls a potential rush, an attack on multiple fronts. the west military lines held a 2 day meeting of defense ministers. the wrapped up on friday is how nato secretary general described the current state of relations between the block and russia. it'll soon approach sharon to russia or remains the same as before, meaning earn credible the turns on the fence, 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. i send it
1:24 pm
to expansion into an armor saga. comics goes against promises was given to mikhail gorbachev. back in 1989, 1919 the soviet union current. and what was class that leads to wouldn't expand into those norms as interesting as well. is that germany has a traditional, recently been quite calmer in regards to russia, washing once germany to increased his military spending in order to comply with linux. which of the americans basically says which ones germany to join britain, france and thinking much mcbeal co stance towards a, towards russia. so i suspect is a game going on in conway, in german politics. as the era of angel narco comes to an end selling out working people, last accusation laid against british prime minister boris johnson, the mid rise in so called fire and re hire practices. the notorious scheme of dropping than bree employee workers on worst terms as intensified during the pandemic. according to unions,
1:25 pm
the political opposition as 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 p. 's to vote down the bill selling out work and people in the process. it's co air socialize. 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 would be an end or an abusive relationship wrong because the workplace is a relationship such as, you know, it is built on trust and confidence. i'm what fire rehired does, is it breach you so much trust and confidence? and that's why i felt i have no other option, but to allow myself,
1:26 pm
in my experience to be sat on the fiery high cuz i could not continue in that relationship any more. am because because of its abuse of nature, raise it with a thick a show. nearly a quarter of all you k workers say they're working terms such as pay or hours have been downgraded during the pandemic. many say they faced at fire and re hire practices themselves having to reapply for their old jobs or worse terms and conditions or faced the sac. burst johnson himself score the practice unacceptable . however, fire and re hire remains legal, provided the due process of followed. i, formerly consulting workers and observing set notice period, but kevin burn, who's the for you. k gas industry worker, you heard from before, believes that the laws are protecting the wrong people. it's unfortunate because, you know, i'm a law abiding citizen. like most people and, you know, i'm led to believe that the laws are there to protect it. citizens or, i think in, with this experience,
1:27 pm
the realize the laws are actually bad to protect corporations on them and the money class. what makes it where it is? yeah, it is the final insult, because when i embark on my disputes, my intention and the intention of my colleagues and com rates was so when are the speech and so when so convincingly bass, no company would, would use fire and re hire before sleep. but they're not, you know, it's a part of phrase harper late is bought to kill a mockingbird. the definition of cottage is when you know you left from the beginning. but you begin anyway. and that's what we did. because we were up against that with the corporation such as british just and those are the big stories are across for you so far this weekend. here it out the international i'm calling for. i will be back here in just over half an hour to i bet you again
1:28 pm
with him and then you would you that is images with music is in, which is pretty sure we come on there for you to get with some way up with the to the shelters with,
1:29 pm
with, [000:00:00;00] with this is blue bus, the one business show you care to for demit number into more and i'm ready to love and then washington and coming up the supply chain. if you play in the united states and prompting president biden, you float the idea of using the national guard to ease pressure on the situation straight ahead for this got the latest, the ongoing sorta jet. and as the netflix jo, squid game has taken the world by storm, the hit south free and program has brought the issue of debt to the foreground. later on will break down the state of personal debt,
1:30 pm
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 by the 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. 9 a cnn town hall, the president said he would consider using the national 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 with boom, less co host benz won. 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? do you think it will happen? and of course, would it help relieve some of the 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
