found chief ah, hello ly. from moscow that his art internationally is just midnight here now sunday, the 24th of october, not column break with the weekend news 1st for you this hour then rushes gas provide a gas prom says that it will stop supplying moldova if the eastern european state fails, to pay off its debt to the company, which is currently about $700000000.00. 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, the run no politic see it gasp, rome is a join 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 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, an 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 problem holdover agreed to extend that, that contract by a month, but by december 1st, they're gonna have to come up with a new contract. and these talks have been ongoing for a while now those there was a lot of a lot of pressure on both sides, the moldova, and 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, palmers can just come out and said the mill,

dover 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 supplies 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 at factories and plants in europe. ha, having to shut down businesses or having to shut down, because at this point, it is now more expensive to buy gas ventre sell their projects. such are the costs of production now, and this is all over the european continent. not just the european union with britain and britain as well in china, we're seeing the same story. so obviously,

the mold opens are asking for help the europeans and others, whether they will receive that help remains to be seen. the turkish president sorted the ambassadors of 10 western allies, including the u. s. france and 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 activists jailed for anti government activity and who still awaiting trial. it is 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. osman cabal has been in custody since late 2017, charged with financing protests, and participating in a failed coo, all of which he denies. president edwin's described him as a turkish leg of controversial billionaire investor, george soros, whose act of his stances edwin's repeatedly condemned. the ambassadors issued a statement denouncing turkey's handling of cavalier case and calling for his

release to day marks for years sincere, ongoing detention of osman kabbalah begin, the continued delay in his trial inclusion by emergency different cases and creeds, and new ones. after a previous acquittal, cast a shadow over respect for democracy. the rule of law andras' parents see in the turkish dish or a system. this is a really an extreme reaction, and it shows to me a great attentions that we are having between turkey and the e. u and the other nato countries. what race is some concern? is that a cover, le, indeed, or was the founding member of the open society foundation of george soros in turkey? so there are certain relationships with those are millionaires and philanthropists who often have interfered in other countries in internal government

affairs church. he 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. 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 their candidacy are all talking from way right of center. so his air examined a talk show host, a new darling of the french right wing. he's even tempting marine depends vote is away. and becoming a strong rival of current president emmanuel mc crohn. oh, so full face off shall a do bench. he takes us through watch lighting up to be something of a bruising political hockey. match to play is may no to full yet be declared. but with less than 6 months before, from season presidential election, the game is being played in right wing territory with participants trying to score

on topics such as immigration identity and security. a manual mat corn has slash the number of these it deliveries to countries such as to new z i. l, g, rear, and morocco. marine a pan propose 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 testers tackle the issue of, i'm aggression, nobody is doing anything. and you kind of feel that in trask that the situation is that it's very last and that nobody is doing anything and is treating problems. and these problems are not being tackled by the government. grants has no policy to real policy concerning immigration, these past decide say these past 20 years and this is starting to become

a huge problem. ready in france, ah, vania sticks to that message on immigration saying it's weakening, frances sense of identity. my colon has set up a think tank to combat wookey ideology that he believes is infecting the country. meanwhile, the more wants to buy new 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 you integration, others not only po, see this issue in the opposite way in some countries constitution say you, laura, supreme other say the opposite. so there's 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

a lot of sort celebrities between the re wing movements which are getting popularity here in france and what trump did in the us, i think that trump finger point it also topography, identity problems that the americans were facing and these issues are coming in france. parties on the right. entranced, want to do borders, they want to check was coming into the country. they want to prove that 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 already to be only defensive. they're not mac ones parts. he's introduced controversial bills. one issue such as global security and in defense of the french republic,

la palm has style to party as one of justice and buddha is albia. but tony says he's priorities include the protection of the french, the end of impunity, all the while supporting the police. is it more has both said that security is the very 1st freedom. there's an ongoing problem with insecurity code, you know, crime of various kinds of petty crime and most serious crime in the what are called label and you of the suburbs to paris and the other big cities. and 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 kept in shifted to the rights in 2017, the socialist party collapsed in france. and michael, who of course, came from

a full swallow loans team. he basically took over the socialists, the old socialist electorate. but of course, he is not himself particularly socialists, 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 early polls suggest, 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 least, but now in macros rank charlotte even ski hocksey paris america's leading medical research agency has admitted funding risky studies into batson. corona viruses in china's wu ham province. despite earlier denials from america's

top infectious diseases expert, dr. anti foundry, that u. s. money had gone into so called gain of function research found she is also under fire after a pause, claim that us taxpayer money was spent on drug experiments on dogs. i was part of the procedure. the vocal colds of beagle puppies are understood to have been slit to prevent them. barking, howling, or crying. members of congress are demanding answers, 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 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 and china were capable of binding to the human ac 2 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 batt corona virus. eco hell fell to report this finding right away as was required by the terms of the grant. and yet for amongst 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 ran paul, who's quest for transparency on the investigation, was beginning to look like a rat race? no one saying they are, it is was, it was in malachi lives 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 gating, the truth. anybody have lying here, senator?

it is you. some experts say found she knowingly misled the country, the national institutes of health, se acknowledgement 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 wu 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 of the bag according to tobacco, let's say it seems that the u. s. 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 f. it's in the pandemic, not least, their insistence on blaming and investigating china, of only exposed to u. s. 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 thought she had 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 antony found. she is be the top paid federal employee for years in 2004. he was granted a permanent pay adjustment for bio defense research. he now and more than the u. s . president. despite current, says the revelations about gain of function research really come as 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 1939495969799202010 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 lies 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 is car for the course for large authoritarian government. here with us here, we can still head the criminal defense chief, wanted german counterpart that she risks repeating a tragic historical precedent of she calls to put native nuclear weapons along russia's borders because one of our stories still ahead after this ah

ah what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally

and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk. oh ma, come back. moscow will berlin and it's nato allies not to tempt fate. by deploying military hardware, including nuclear weapons, close to rushes, 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. that stand about him shortly after germany's defense minister, called on nato, to be ready to deploy nuclear weapons, to quote, deter russian air it's maritime borders. in the baltic and black seas, the bell and officials then challenge to explain that a hostile comment. food of bright was reported this morning. the plate is

contemplating deterrence scenarios for the baltic and black sea regents a possibly involving air deployed nuclear weapons. is this the best native prepared to take? this is that's the path of deterrent. we must make it very clear to russia that in the end we're ready to move. 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 a comments coincided with nato unveiling its new master plan to defend the block against what it calls a potential russian attack on multiple fronts. the west, a military alliance held a 2 day meeting of defense ministers the wrapped up on friday. here's 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 or it has not been more difficult since to handle the cold war and sanitary expansion into an armor sub comics goes against promises was given to mikhail gorbachev back in 1990 to 1991 the soviet union was current and what was collapse 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, wasi to once germany to increase his military spending in order to comply with limits. which of the americans basically says which once germany to join britain and france and seeking a much more bell co stance towards a towards russia. so i suspect there's a game going on in conway, in german politics. as the era of angel narco comes to an end selling out working people is what british prime minister, boris johnson's being accused of, amid a rise in so called fire and re hire practices. the notorious game of dropping them

re employing work on worth terms is intensified during the pandemic, according to unions, and it's called the political opposition reeling. this week, government has allowed bad bosses to force brutal changes to contracts and take thousands in 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 eh, so sure it's bullying it. and i can tell you from experience is it's very, it's a, it's a very unpleasant situation. almost feels like being an abusive relationship because the workplace is the relationship teachers, you know, it is built on trust and confidence. and what fire rehired does is it breaches that 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 cuz i could not continue in that relationship any more am because because of its abuse of nature, raising figures show that nearly a quarter of all u. k. workers say they've had their conditions such as pay our ours, downgraded during the pandemic. and many of them say that they've endured fire and re hire practices having to reapply for the road jobs on worse terms and conditions . or faced the sac. boris johnson himself called the practice unacceptable. however, fire and re hire remains legal, provided the due process is followed like formerly consulting workers and observing set notice period. but kevin burn the former u. k. gas industry work you heard from before believes that the laws are protecting the wrong people. so force that because you know, i am a law abiding citizen. i like most people, and i am led to believe that the laws of their suit to protect it citizens for i

think in with best experience to realize the laws that actually bear to protect corporations on them and the more need class. what makes it worse 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. it. oh, it's a paraphrase, harper lay, m. m is bought to kill a mockingbird. the definition of coach is when you know you left from the beginning, what you begin anyway. and that's what we did. and because we were off against the, with, with the corporation such as british gas, that's one of germany's largest public transport companies has pulled some of its electric buses out of service. it's a precautionary measure after charging station was destroyed by fire in munich late last month, or the company blames a technical defect for the blaze which appears to be

a not insignificant issue with electric vehicles in the country. peter olive has got more of the story. 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, stuttgart has raised questions about safety. not just of buses, but all electric vehicles. yeah. absolute. yes. the risk of these fires included 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 dep post or to for electric bosses and the depos for other buses will be separated and that fire

barriers will be built 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 mix, you're looking at a 3rd of all sales across europe. it's been a meteoric rise as well. fucking 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. an 8th is an incredible on the statement. despite both concerns, electric vehicles, including buses like these do seem like they are going to be the future. in fact, manufacturers are 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 out into that concerns over a potential safety worries. and not everybody is willing to hop on one of these bosses just now. peter oliver, aussie berlin. busy and as the way looks from out here moscow so far this we can, thanks for watching i'm calling braille. have you next updated to 32 minutes either . ah ah, ah,
