ah, headlines on are to international with patients already forced to q for hours to get into hospitals in the u. k. paramedics worn over and actually unprecedented crisis facing the ambulance service. that's as the army is put on stand by to help in the program. we asked one doctor to diagnose the government's plans for that of the health services. around 5700000 people on waiting lists within the n h. s. president bleach. se probably going to get worse before it gets better. several protesters, a report leaks, shot dead, and more than a 100 injured as violent erupt on the streets of sudan, pastoral military takeover reduces the country to chaos and fueling disputes. europe's gas prices sees more risks emerge within the e u both ahead of an viewing an emergency energy meeting about how to prevent
11:01 am
future price shops. ah, hard into the evening hours. we go here at moscow just off the 6 pm here. this is archie international. it's good to have you with us. so you k, paramedics have raised fears of what they've labeled an utterly unprecedented crisis facing the entire ambulance service. the n h s. workers claim, but pressures of the winter season could prove insurmountable unless the cobra pandemic is brought immediately under control. there. ah, absolutely. situations where people waiting many, many hours best to get into the hospital. and then once they've been in the hospital waiting to see a doctor course, it has a detrimental effect on anybody who's waiting for hours either in london. so sitting in an emergency at the palms and nobody working in those 7 days wants to say that's happened, but there is
11:02 am
a huge amount of pressure man. i tested amendment and it's hard to imagine. but ambulances are being forced to stay in queues lasting hours outside hospitals as they wait for their patients. well, just to be admitted. now, a number of medics have taken to social media to post pictures of the current situation. no one paramedic demanding urgent action. after showing 25 ambulance crews waiting to enter an emergency department, adding that is not even winter yet. or earlier this month, one no patient died after waiting more than 5 hours in the back of an ambulance. we arrive on the etch and it is the middle of october. it would require an incredible amount of luck for us not to find ourselves in the midst of a profound crisis over the next 3 months. in the mean time, the u. k. government has put the entire country on something akin to that of a war footing to deal with this crisis. i mean, can you imagine troops, soldiers, the military now being trained to drive the ambulances and we understand some,
11:03 am
4000 of them now on stand by to help the n h. s. cope with that over the winter season. now, earlier the defense secretary also said that these soldiers on standby are ready to help administering vaccines, testing for coven and other general support in the hospitals. but let's bring up the pitches for you to let you know what's going on. this is where the numbers skyrocketed in the u. k. in july, but ever since they've maintained this high level all the way to where we are today . of doctors fear that these numbers combined with the winter flu season could easily overwhelm the health system. and an h. s. chiefs also want their prime minister. now to implement that of the more stringent a plan b for the winter. that means vaccine passports, and mandatory face masks. so far the government is resisting to move much to the appointment of some on the front line. you know, there are other things that the government could couldn't, could be doing. and yes, that should be absolutely seriously considering mr. this point in time before
11:04 am
things go too far, hospital i work in has been on what we call black lab, which means that the beds are absolutely full of patients for a number of weeks now and we are not coming across the whole system. many hospitals are very full with patients. we know that hospitals actually been at the most efficient and not absolutely pull up with patients. and it does may not knock on effects on those patients who are waiting for edge and surgery who require in particular intensive care pads or high dependency care on not being processed or not being cared for in a timely way. and we know that is the case. there are 5700000 people on waiting lists within the n h s at present, which is probably going to get worse before it gets better. a military take over the rest of political leaders under state of emergency all combining to enrage protests in sudan who have set the capital on fire. chaotic scenes have been
11:05 am
unraveling in the north african country for more than 24 hours now. and that's been widespread international condemnation of the power grub with washington suspending its financial aid to the country. understand as 7 people were reportedly shot dead at least 104. he injured as a result of violent clashes between protesters and the army. ah. with
11:06 am
things now are somewhat of an impasse, a violence imparts that is people in the streets they, they're staying out there. impetus burning cars, blocking off roads by, by lay roxy, though uprooted roads, brick rules across roads in the capital harpoon. many people now injured sudden even kill and what they demand is that the military stay out of civilian business. they demand the release of all the ministers, the civilian leaders that have been arrested by the military. over the past 2 days, the military says that these power sharing agreement between this transitional agreement, between the military and civilian leaders, it hasn't worked. and they have recently been backed by other people also civilians who say that things were better under the dictates the autocrat. omar bashir, who ruled the country for 3 decades, and who was deposed by public protest in 2019,
11:07 am
we've seen reaction poor in internationally. the united states has said that $700000000.00 in financing assistance for the country has been suspended frozen for now. pending the, the actions of the military, they want them to release all the civilian leaders that they've arrested. they've also condemned this and said that they had no voiding, that the school was in the works to be clear. we were not given any heads up about this. there is no m a u. s. military footprint on the ground in sudan. there's no training. it's not like there's disrupted some sort of training partnership, a relationship there. there's note that we don't have a u. s. military presence on the ground to those ends. condemnation is also put in from, from the european union, various countries that make it up. also the arab league, the african union, varies some talk that perhaps this could spiral into, into a civil war. obviously,
11:08 am
we must understand the realities, but the military with, with all its guns, has a big advantage that they could very well use violence to reach their end to restore stability. but it must also be understood that there are many people who are sick of the military who was sick of all the the autocratic rule that has been imposed on them for so many decades of the who desperately want to transition to a democracy. even with all the trouble that brings, and we have seen economic collapse over the last few years in sudan, the currency collapse, the, the heights in prices for fuel power, food and other commodities for now. communication with people inside saddam these somewhat difficult because the military has gotten restricted telephone and internet networks. but one refugee from sedan that we've spoken to says this latest military takeover boots ill for his country. why them? it was a surprise for us. we didn't expect that it would come to this because all the
11:09 am
sudanese people expected sedans to move in the right direction towards democracy. the entire nation had such high hopes. the military always imposes its power on the people. we were shocked by the news that the prime minister, senior ministers in the sovereignty council and other important officials had been arrested. we received some messages from our brothers, despite the internet and other communication having been cut. the disagreements between the military and civil officials is very important because the glorious december revolution dethroned the old regime and helped to create the new government. we were counting on the new governments to create a civil state. well again, another referral is taking shape in the european union. off the 9 member states including germany said on monday they would not support reform of blocks electricity market. the dispute came ahead of an emergency meeting that took place today and luxembourg, and where you ministers raised the disagreements of our house to officially end.
11:10 am
the crisis is the price spikes have global drivers. we should be very careful before interfering in the design of internal energy markets. this will not be a remedy to mitigate the current price in energy prices linked to fossil fuels, markets. the 9, the countries say they're against radical reforms. instead, they support or foster renewable roll out an integration of e u electricity markets. but that's not the only hurdle facing block members today . several e u countries including france and slovenia, who's infrastructure minister chad. today's emergency energy meeting expressed a support for the use of nuclear power hour without the very issue has previously let the infighting among certain states. as all these charlotte duper ski now reports the energy crisis combined with you countries trying to meet carbon neutrality targets. bodes well for franks is a favorite form of power. nuclear in brussels,
11:11 am
the commission president hit the red button. we need a stable source, nuclear and during the transition of course, natural gas. and this is why, as we've already stated as a commission in april, we will come forward with our taxonomy proposal. member states have been bitterly divided over nuclear power. the commission chief herself previously branded it as dangerous and the likes of austria, germany in spain, all vocal opponents who were disconcerted to learn that in the opinion of the joint research center. there were no indication that the high risk technology that is nuclear power is more damaging to human health and to the environment than other forms of energy generation, such as wind and solar energy. nuclear power, however, is a high risk technology. in germany, people are concerned by the european commissions change of hot galvan,
11:12 am
if i don't believe in nuclear power, has been proven to be the most dangerous and expensive form of energy production at home growth. nuclear power is actually not the best for the future. now their energy sources should come 1st to in block and long term. we should move away from both fossil fuels, a nuclear energy towards natural, sustainably generated power. plasma harry, crohn's nuclear power is far better. received president mike on has just unveiled plans to build new nuclear plants. he's one of several you leaders that have been pushing the idea that nuclear is a green investment. the countries great operate to r t also insist that nuclear is essential to the energy portfolio. building new nuclear reactors is economically viable, especially as it makes it possible to maintain a fleets of around 40 gigawatts in 2050. but that is not an all human that's accepted by environmental organizations. nuclear power is incredibly expensive,
11:13 am
hazardous and slow to built. building new nuclear reactors won't happen overnight in the you. meaning that this won't be a source of power to draw from as the energy crisis bite this winter, and also possibly in to next year. what you're really needs is the solution right now, and yet it's resisting the answer that many think is obvious. ask a neighbor for help. in this scenario, that's russia, which has plenty of gas to pump too. but during this paint, some e lee does know which way the wind is blowing and even asked the commission to rethink its freeze on russia. forget about ever becoming independent from russia. these will never happen. there's also concern that this shift towards nuclear power being a form of green energy is the result of powerful lobbyists and as desperate as the e. u seems to want to forego any relationship with rush over gas. shipping to
11:14 am
nuclear won't change the need for that relationship with moscow. not only to some elements that are essential for nuclear fission come from russia. the country has also been helping france to process its nuclear waste. whichever way you look at it, the e. u and its energy needs look sec to remain tightly linked to moscow. charlotte, d britsky r t. paris. all right, fucking live out to independent journalist lucas give a joining us here on the program. a very good evening to you. so apparently a tuesday's emergency meeting was a bit of a flop. look, i understand politicians of professionals when it comes to bickering. but can block members overcome that differences? do you think on this energy policy? yes, i will be very optimistic for once. i think the fact that the european commission finally brought back nuclear energy as the only option if we want to have
11:15 am
a lot of electricity available for all the projects, the electric car, for example. so album, they started finally realizing or accepting the idea that he must be in the green deal nuclear energy as well as gas. of course, we will need a lot of gas to compensate for the stupid choice of the renewable self, the wind turbines, and of the, the solar energy that need compensation when there is no into all there is no light . so on. we absolutely need nuclear energy. if we want to go for the electric shift that europe has in mind. and finally mrs. fonda ran, says yes, she understands it suddenly. that's wonderful. so i am really optimistic. as for russia finally, on the 8th of january, i think germany will be ready to accept the on doubling of capacity of for gas coming through the baltic sea from russia, and so that the problems will be practice the practically solved with the gasket. a
11:16 am
for is for them. um, you know, we are, i'm optimistic because the price of electricity is now at $250.00 euro per megawatt . while it was at 50 in 2019, it will go back to 50. and it will be, unfortunately, only in the early spring that it happens. and between now and then, while the governments will have to help their, their citizens to, to, to pay for the, for the energy they use. but frankly, that it's the best news that we can have as the fact that there is bickering at the level of the european union between those who one nuclear energy we have understood . and those like germany was still under the influence of the greens. now let's about this emergency meeting today was a bit of a flood, as you say, luke, some people including the e commission chief, are you turning on a atomic energy saying atomic energy possibly is the future? of course, we've had commentary today from some saying, well,
11:17 am
nuclear energy is very expensive, it is very dangerous. you also mentioned the issue of russian gas. i wanted to pick you up on this loop because the check prime minister as good as claimed that energy independence from russia is a fantasy. why do you think he said that it's true because sees caused by the nose. i mean, we, i mean, all experts know that we must rely on russian gas. no problem about that is there may be, they would prefer to have l n g coming from the united states, but we need outside sources. now we have gas coming from as our by john to italy and mainly or the gas coming a bit through crime, but mainly through the baltic on the north street, one and soon lot stream to it's our 55 plus $55.00 on 1000000000 tons of 1000000000 cubic meters year, so it's a huge quantity that will be delivered from january onwards. and we must rely on
11:18 am
russia. russia has always proposed long term contracts to governments. so the governments for the moment, they don't really complain about the spot prices of gas that are so i, they are my but they have long term delivery plans with a good price. so they are not effected on it's only, you know, specifics only that the last of cubic meter that so expensive. so i think really everything will be solved by spring. nuclear energy will be all the list of the wilder degree taxonomy to use. one of the crazy wording that european commission is used. oh, which is excellent. and gas from russia will be finally accepted as the best solution we are. we are neighbors, and we must rely on russian gas. no problem. now look, it was said it in recent days or about a week or so ago that the matriarch of europe, the outgoing german chancellor, anglo merkel, she said that russia has been fulfilling as obligations to its gas contracts and,
11:19 am
and as by what various western politicians or the media like to say that the true crisis came from them, not refilling their gas reserves during the summer months, and they went to short spot sales and now they're in a bit of a crisis. do you think though, luke, that this energy crisis could be an opportunity to try and mend relations with russia instead of making them worse? i frankly hope so miss michael could still help she. she couldn't help from the outside. don't forget that the former chancellor was elected in the constituency. where on the beyond, on pipelines from russia arrived the island of reagan, that's her place. that's where she comes from. so she is old for it. she has disgusted in russian or in german with president putin. so i think she could play a role in bringing back on europe and russia together for on a white her discussions done in the past,
11:20 am
independent journalist and local here by joining us live here with our to international many thanks. we appreciate your time. thank you. i saw the come here and arty international, that of the silence of tweets us republican congressman sees his entire account suspended according the nation's 1st trans jenda 4 star general a mad we are back in just a 2nd. 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 offensive, very dramatic development. the only personally, i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk
11:21 am
join me every 1st bit on the alex simon. sure. and i'll be speaking together in the world politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . picture tells a 1000 words and 1000 episodes a kaiser core are contain. this is rosetta stone of me, and kaiser important understanding this me what stacy wearing a crime. i don't know if you've seen it close enough or not, but that stacy wearing a crown in front of a burning building. this is the key mean of all means this is the construct. think all you need to know about our modern life in this me ah, good of you to join us focused program will not see of the russian navy has
11:22 am
repelled a pirate attack against a panamanian congo ship just off the coast of west africa. the vice admiral could, i cough destroy, responded to an emergency call from the cargo ship, which announced it was under attack from a group of armed militants. as we understand, a marine task force was immediately dispatched and drove the pirates away. the russian destroy is currently part of a group patrolling the gulf of guinea, which has regrettably become a halt sport for pirate attacks on shipping. a price searches in the u. s. show, and no sign of using any time soon. the secretary of the treasury has said inflation rates are likely to remain at near decade highs until at least the 2nd half of next year. now to give you an idea of how it's hitting people in that pocket. so the prices of used cars and stakes have shot up by more than 20, said, if you want eggs with those stakes, you'll pay 13 percent more for them compared with the prices of the start of the year. a furniture and bedding are also up by double digit percentage points as well
11:23 am
. and u. s. officials say the current inflation rate is way above the mainstream narrative full costs. the common charge to the economy has called disruptions that we will be working through over the next year. and of course, americans haven't seen inflation like we have experience in a long time. of course is not just the us that's been hit hard. the chief economy for the international monetary fund warned inflationary pressures around the global remain until at least the middle of next year. that is due in part to disruption to supply change during the pandemic. now in the u. k, of course, it's always like this is the poorest people who get hit the hardest and the opposition labor party claim those less well off of paying up to 50 percent more on energy bills compared to wealthier families. well, much kaiser of aussies, the kaiser report believes the money printing policies of both london and washington are just exacerbating the crisis. the u. s. is similar to these other
11:24 am
countries and that they're all coordinating their central bank policies, and they are all living in this dream world where you can print money forever and have no consequences. when you print trillions and trillions of dollars, it ends up increasing prices. the purchasing power of this re out money is going to decrease, so everything will cost more if you're using theat money. this is an experiment that goes back to 1971 when the world went on a fee, up money standard. and now for 40 years, we've been living in this experiment and now and 2021 at the experiment is blowing up on our faces. purchasing power for fia money is going down. that means that prices for stock are going to go up. and now people are getting hurt by it. so now the money printing is just going directly into the c p i. it's going directly into price increases. and once the inflation genie is out of the bottle, there's no way to put it back in expectations are running high. so this is the beginning of a secular inflationary moves. the only way to stop it is to raise interest rates
11:25 am
down. roger, they're actually raising interest rates, they're doing the right thing. but in the united states and great britain, they're not raising interest rates. as a matter of fact, they believe that the way to fight this would be the lower rates and to make more money available. so they're actually throwing gasoline on the fire if they were to raise rates, even a quarter of a percentage points, they would throw the entire leveraged economy of the u. k. and britain into complete parallel zation. so they've really put themselves and an untenable position. and i think we're going to see a huge economic dislocation. this is the beginning of a secular inflationary move that's going to cause tremendous damage. us republican congressman, who's accused twitter of censorship, often his official account was entirely suspended. it happened off to recall the nation's 1st trans jenda forestall general rachel levine, a mat twitter said the gym bank account violated hateful conduct policy or the
11:26 am
treat was let it deleted. back in 2018, twitter updated its policy and prohibited a content rules to include mis gendering transgender individuals. a congressman bank says, lashed out in his suspension, saying that calling someone who was born and lived as a man for over 50 years. the 1st female forced our officer is an insult to women. my treat was a statement of fact big tech doesn't have to agree with me, but they shouldn't be able to cancel me if they silence me, they will silence you. it is not the 1st time to it has drawn. i are for suspending a high profile politicians. of course, lest we forget, the former us president donald trump. of course his counter was permanently blocked in the wake of the capitol hill, unrest. and we talked about this with john list and commented chadwick more. he police, a tech giants, are actively shutting down open discussion. well, when it comes to big tech, and especially twitter transgender rhythm is the 3rd rating. everyone sorta knows
11:27 am
that is the most touchy topic. you can possibly comment on and the one that probably get the most people to spend it, to be honest. and what peter said was that the congressman suite violated their, their policy again for conduct and harassment and targeting an individual because of their certain protected class being, you know, race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, what have you, we can't expect big tact, facebook, twitter, any of those things to ever be on, refused to ever be on the side of truth of dialogue, of open discussion. and it's that just upgraded and it's because they do that is where public discussion takes place and they control the narratives and they decide what to be heard and what not to be heard or seen. i mean, twitter being alluded to suspend a sitting president, donald trump, the president united states, they get more well, they are doing it to anyone they have does everyone don't continue to do it to everyone? yeah,
11:28 am
well the whole conversation about censorship by twitter continues in the op ed section of r t dot com, quite a heated discussion. that right now, it's a hop on 6 in the evening here of moscow. it back at the top of the hour with more of your wildlife news headlines. ah, what happened? i make no ship, no borders, and is blind to nationalities. and you parish as emerge. we don't have authority. we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great,
11:29 am
the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with ah, it has to be rash, to be able to afford and fi. and find the luxury that for sure, despite having the most expensive health care system in the world, we have poor life expectancy. we have higher infant mortality. we have more deaths from treatable causes. so americans are suffering every day from it. it says if these people don't count i saw how they can choose your customers and dump a sick so also a can satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should
11:30 am
have to see what i saw. if you're denying payment for someone's care, your make life and death decision and determine to get to live and who dies to me this getting away with murder. ah, i am max guys. you're welcome to the kaiser 40 want the latest max kaiser news. i got a book coming out of my quotes. i've got a piece coming on big coin magazine and we're doing a show now. salvatore and al zante bitcoin b. its follow me on twitter. max kaiser. m a x k.
