1:01 pm
and awe . oh for moscow, thanks for joining us tonight on, on the international and daniel hawkins roby walk night. welcome to the program. now you k, paramedics, have race fears of what they've labeled and utterly unprecedented crisis facing the ambulance service. the energy workers claim the pressure is over the winter season, could prove insurmountable unless the code pandemic is brought under control. that are absolutely situations where people waiting many, many hours supposed to get in to the hospital. and then once they've been in the hospital waiting to see a doctor, cause it has a detrimental effect on anybody who's waiting for hours either in london. so sitting in an emergency department and nobody working in those services wants to see that happens, but there is a huge amount of pressure on the, on the chest,
1:02 pm
at the moment the ambulances are being forced to stay in q last and hours outside the hospitals, as they wait for their patients to be admitted. now, a number of medics i've taken to social media to post pictures of the current situation. one paramedic was the morning urgent action off showing this folks are 25 minutes of q is waiting to enter an emergency department adding it's not even winter yet or earlier this month. one patient actually died after wasting more than 5 hours in the back of an ambulance. we are right on the edge 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. of the government has put the country on something akin to a war footing to deal with the ongoing crisis. a troops have been trained to dr. absences, some 4000 facts of them are on some way to help us cope with the winter season.
1:03 pm
earlier the defense secretary said, soldiers are also a to assist with administrative vaccine testing for cobit as well as other general support and hospitals. now, new daily record cases in the u. k skyrocket in july and they remains high level as you can see ever since summer doctor sphere. those numbers combined with the winter flu season could overwhelm the health service and shapes. also warning the prime minister to implement the more stringent plan b for winter, which includes a vaccine passports, compulsory face, most so far, the government's resisting the move much the disappointments of some on the front line. you know, there are other things that the government could couldn't could be doing. and yes, they should be absolutely seriously considering mr. this point in time before things go to the 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
1:04 pm
hospitals are very full with patients and we know that hospital actually been at their most efficient if they're not absolutely pull up with patients. and it does may not knock on effects. all that. those patients who are waiting for urgent 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. the military take over the rest of political leaders and a state of emergency all combining to enrage protest is in sudan who set the capital on fire. kildrick seems have been unraveling in the north african country for more than 24 hours now. as in widespread international condemnation of the power grab with us spending its financial aid of the country, certain people reportedly shot dead with at least 140 injured as
1:05 pm
1:06 pm
though uprooting roads, brick walls across roads in the capital, hard to 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, the dictate the autocrat omar bashir, who ruled the country for 3 decades and who was deposed by public protestant, 2 $1019.00 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,
1:07 pm
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 warning 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 of those support them 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 we must understand the realities, but the, 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
1:08 pm
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 whom 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 heights in prices for fuel power, food and other commodities for now. communication with people inside sudanese, 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 bodes 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 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,
1:09 pm
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 communications 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. yes, another 50 is taking shape in the you repeat it in after 9 mistakes, including germany said on monday they would not support reform of the blocks electricity market. but if you'd came ahead of an emergency meeting that took place today in luxembourg and where you minutes is raise the disagreements over how to in 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 and energy prices linked to fossil fuels. markets in northern countries say they're against radical reforms instead of order
1:10 pm
foster. and you will roll out an integration of you electricity market, and that's not the only hurdle facing brock members. with several e u countries including france and it's lavinia, who's infrastructure. when i said, share today's emergency energy meeting. express support for the use of nuclear power over the very issue has previously led to infighting among states. he shot human ski picks up the story. the energy crisis combined with e u countries trying to meet colbin neutrality targets, bodes well. the francis favorite form of power nuclear in brussels. the commission president hate low 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
1:11 pm
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, if i don't believe in nuclear power, it has been proven to be the most dangerous and expensive form of energy production at home graft 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,
1:12 pm
a nuclear energy towards natural sustainably generate power. harry, frog's nuclear power is far better received. president mack on has just avail 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 country's grid operator r t e also insisted 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 argument that's accepted by environmental organizations. nuclear power is incredibly expensive, 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 bites this winter,
1:13 pm
and also possibly into next year. what you were 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, overt during this pinch. some e leaders know which way the wind is blowing and of 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 russia, but gas shipping to 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
1:14 pm
way you look at it, the e, it's energy needs to remain tightly linked to moscow. i know that we must rely on russian gas. no problem about that is there, maybe they would prefer to have an energy coming from the united states, but we need outside sources. russia has always proposed long term contracts to governments. so the government for the moment, they don't really complain about the sport price of gas that are so i, they are my but they have long term delivery plans with a good price. so they are not affected. it's only, you know, specifics only the last cubic meter that so expensive. so i think really, everything will be solved by spring nuclear energy will be all the list of the degree taxonomy to use. one of the crate wording that european commission is used,
1:15 pm
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. so we go on our t in the us, the price of many consumer goods has skyrocketed with officials saying inflation rate is likely to stay above forecasts well in the next year. more than that as one of the other stories after the break ah ah ah ah
1:16 pm
ah. this picture tells a 1000 words and 1000 episodes a kaiser where are contained this is rosetta stone of me, and kaiser, a quart. understanding this me wasn't stacy wearing a crime. i don't know if you've seen it close enough or not with 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, oh, come back. now british and peace have conducted a post mortem on the nato trip withdrawal from afghanistan. so when you have an
1:17 pm
obsession, basic mistakes, well, i don't, the thought, but i was good logged out a shadow. i do eventually in london saturday. thanks for joining us tonight. what's the latest that was said in parliament today? all not withdrawal. well, inevitably there was some very difficult questions pointed to the defense secretary from the committee, whose very job is to hold foreign policy to account. and this committee is a primarily really angry because so far the government has refused to launch a full scale inquiry into the withdrawal of afghanistan over the summer. and so the committee have almost taken upon themselves to launch this many inquiry into the evacuation the time today. really from m p, 's was 2 fold ready, one on the one hand, they feel like the entire episode was a monumental fia in terms of foreign policy, but also a real let down moment for the moral obligations of the afghan people as well. now it all kicked off surrounding the p steel that was struck with the taliban,
1:18 pm
which been one is the defense secretary, basically shocked responsibility for the united kingdom's role in the withdrawal decision. if you don't deliver ammunition to the afghan forces and they run out of bullets, that's when they're going to drop their guns, get rid of their uniforms and go home because they would see the winds of change once again. sweeping across. gastorm certainly is a critical schoolboy area that was made while much of the session also focused on the intelligence failures. of course, you remember back in the summer then foreign secretary dominic rob appeared to be on holiday sunbathing, while kabul fell so many questions about whether the intelligence was wrong or whether or not it was misread. and how on us many key play is in all of this was simply no way to be seen. now the defense secretary rules, i tried to shut responsibility on other issues as well. much like many ministers
1:19 pm
and military chiefs. he fell back on that key argument about how over the last 20 years, the counter terrorism effort actually prevented terrorist groups like al qaeda from launching and a terrorist attack from afghanistan. plus of course, they argue that the telephone was completely disbanded over the last 20 years. but now that is an argument that seems somewhat redundant, considering now the taliban has entirely taken over the region. so right now it's clear to see that people want onto the many people all came what went wrong, and why did the united kingdom leave asked on how one at the telephone took over so quickly. plus, of course, the key issue that one and a half 1000 people ask on interpreters included the all eligible to be relocated here in the united kingdom, a still stuck in the region. plus, interestingly, around 30 british citizens are too stuck in the region. they're accusing the united kingdom of totally abandoning them, but of course, are not the only ones arguing that they've been abounded much of the population of
1:20 pm
simply accusing nato allies of the very same thing. but just applying a point then the chairman of the committee to bar is our speaking, alter quite long session. he said the group are only just scratching the surface today and they'll be many more uncomfortable moments. full members of parliament that actually were key players in the withdrawal of african nissan from london to accept for that update. now burton's secret services are storing their most classified documents on amazon. the us company has reported learned that a lucrative contract with a government communications headquarters am i 5 and why 6 set to use their cloud system to report their contract with our spies to share information more easily for abroad and allow for greater integration of artificial intelligence i was in, looks sent to land to 1000000000 pounds over the next 10 years in that deal. you
1:21 pm
can, i was and i have so far, refused to come and well, let's go live now. so i name is sean forma m, i 5 intelligence officer to get more on the sunny. thanks for joining us. good to have you on today. i suppose a lot of us will find it's hard to, to get the heads around. what may, because it's a private company, amazon, contracted to store britain's most secret data. i mean how, how does that settle in your head? well, i'm having trouble getting my head round it too. i find it astonishing that the most secret national security information contained by m i 5 and i 6 and g t h king can be outsourced to a private corporation based within another nation state. i mean, they've always, always made such a huge issue of every bit of information. they've got to keep themselves. they've got various laws to protect that information. again. whistleblower, for example, like the official secret. and yet now they just handing over all this information to a foreign corporation. it does not make sense. amazon is
1:22 pm
a company that has been before we've seen data leaks, pause leaks, email leaks us. i think some of my emails even i've even leaked from there, they've been in leak databases. just how safe will the public information be safe? you feel operative saw work in dangerous conditions abroad. surely that would jeopardize them potentially. absolutely. i mean, any called service is hackable, and if we take a walk down memory lane a few years ago, this started with the ca, cutting a deal with the, with amazon, which they started to try and ratify in 2013, which they then actually signed in 2016, and they outsource their intelligence. and i think that it was worth about $600000000.00 over 10 year period. since then, apparently, amazon is such a nice company to work for a short survey. that the other 16 american intelligence agencies then signed some of the deal. so i'm an honest and his rating team. but in terms of the security of
1:23 pm
any kind of service that is dubious, in terms of hackers trying to target, i can try this run by cooperation that could be wide open. and how as a staff who running this cloud service going to be vetted, how are they going to be screened to make sure that they don't take information. so from what i've read in the press, it seems that the sort of steps are being taken to mitigate against a potential future whistleblowers, such as edward snowden. so it's not an in house staff member who can access this information. but how is i'm going to protect that information any better. and if all these different intelligence organizations can access each other's information, i would suggest that the risk of disclosure is call higher robin built in house. the cost of this is around to $1000000000.00 pounds before the deal. do you think that's good value for money? i mean amazon is going to stand a profit from us, of course use a lucrative contract and do you think you'd also benefit in other ways?
1:24 pm
reputation. yeah, i think it's benefit is already saying, you know, we've got the most secure cloud service out there. so that's good for amazon. yes, now going to have a huge amount. as i said, all 17 intelligence agents from the us find out to use the cloud service to so who knows how much money they're making. but it's just an outsourcing of british national sovereignty. that is going on here. and everyone would say, well, oh, it's america, there are friends. but we've seen time and time again over the last 20 years, at least when the war terrorist started how they can manipulate an abuse intelligence behind the scenes. and also have hon. that intelligence can be. i also think as well, there is a quote that allegedly was made by bernisha mas lini, the 2nd world war dictator initially. and he apparently said that the definition of fascism is the measure of the corporate and the state. now i can't think of any clearer example of the measure of the corpus in the states than our
1:25 pm
u. k. intelligence agencies designed to keep and protect on national security out sorting or information to a foreign corporation supporting. yes, we have seen a lot of public private partnerships before, but i think as you rightly medicine, c, a and other intelligence agencies, all giving them formation or storing information i was them, is pretty unprecedented. i mean, do you think i was, you know, perhaps other subcontractors and cetera will become the biggest holder of classified information globally? i think potentially yes, certainly within the western fear of insurance, there is an increasing vocalization of course, of internet information and how different countries treat the national security. which is being excoriated on the west. because you know how they're, they cut up the internet and the world wide web thought. in this aspect, when it comes to national security and high grade intelligence and protecting agent
1:26 pm
lives and ongoing operation to out sources information to a foreign company. i just find absolute cooling and i mean there is one aspect of course that takes us back to even post world war 2, the very bedrock full circle, special relationship between america and the u. k. was always built fundamentally on the special relationship between the n s a n g c, h q, the 2 listening posts in the trial countries. and that sort of expanded into what has become a world panel surveillance penalty, which is known as the 5 eyes, including canada, australia, and new zealand. so if those are the 3 countries go down the st paul and cut a deal with amazon. we are looking to corporate global surveillance penalty, which is going to be held in the hands of unaccountable and profit driven corporation based in america, rather than the national intelligence agencies of each country trying to protect the system for better. yes, good or bad. but this just expands all the issues around,
1:27 pm
accountability and transparency in or national country, up to the ants degree to allow a foreign corporation to take over the management of this nation. and what times that we live in the name of shawn form, 5 intelligence officer, thanks for you. analysis of the story here around auntie. a price search is in the us show, no sign of easing anytime soon. the secretary of the treasury has said inflation rates are likely to remain at near a decade higher than at least the 2nd half of next year. let's give you an idea of just how that sitting people in their pockets the prices of youth cause and stakes have shut up by more than 20 percent. and if you will eggs with mistakes, you'll pay 13 percent more for them compared to the beginning of this year of furniture and bedding up by double digit percentage points as well. us official, 5 inflation rate is way above all costs the convert charge to the economy has
1:28 pm
cause 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 where it's not just us, it's been hit hard. the she's going to miss for the international monetary fund, warned inflationary pressures around the globe will remain, at least until the middle of 2022. that's you, in part of disruption to supply chains during the pandemic. and the u. k. it's the poorest to appear to be hit, the hardest positionally the party labor party, rather claim those less well off. paying up to 50 percent more on energy bills compared to wealthier families, mexicans, a host of because a report to you and auntie leaves the money printing policies of washington and london are only adding fuel to the fire. the u. s. a similar to these other 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 money is going to
1:29 pm
decrease, so everything will cost more if you're using fee money. this is an experiment that goes back to 1971 when the world went on. if the money standard, and now for 40 years, we've been living in this experiment. and now in 2020 wanted the experiment is blowing up on our faces. purchasing power for fee 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 move. the only way to stop it is to raise interest rates down ross, or they're actually raising interest rates. they're doing the right thing. but in the united states, in 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
1:30 pm
raise rates, even a quarter of a percentage points they were throw the entire leveraged economy of the u. k. and britain into complete parallel zation. so they've really put themselves in 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. you can catch up with the latest episode of boom bust heading away in just a few moments time. we were sounding half an hour, the latest headlines join us again. ah.
