ah ah, was patients already forced to key for hours to get into hospitals in the u. k. paramedics won't open actually unprecedented crisis facing the ambulance service that says the army is put on standby to help we ask a doctor to diagnose the government plans for the health service. there are 5700000 people on waiting lists with a me a net. yes, present which it saturdays, probably go to get worse before it gets better. also the south several protests is reportedly shot dead and more than a 100 injured as violence or rocks on the streets of sudan after military takeover reduces the country, took tales and fueling disputes. europe's gas cries, it sees more with emerge, wouldn't be both ahead of and during an emergency and you're meeting about how to

prevent future price shocks. ah, life are mostly altering, unseen to national. with me you lash paloma. hello and welcome to the program. now u. k. paramedics have raised fears, a war they've labeled and actually unprecedented crisis facing the ambulance said, is that any trace waka is claim the pressures of the winter season could prove insurmountable unless, because it pandemic is brought under control. there are absolutely situations where people waiting many, many hours, both to get in to the hospital. and then once they've been in the hospital waiting to see a doctor cost, 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 chest at the moment. ambulances are being forced to staying keys, lasting hours outside hospitals. as they wait for the patients to bed, admitted a number of medic have taken to social media to post pictures of the current situation. one condemning paramedic was demanding urgent action after showing 25 ambulance cruise waiting to enter and the mattress department. i think its not even winter while earlier this month. a patient died after waiting 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. so the u. k. government has put the country on something i came to a war full tank to deal with. the crisis. troops has been trying to drive them.

4000 of them are on standby to help and they try to cope with the winter season. and at the defense secretary, it says soldiers are also ready to assist with administering vaccines. testing for covered and other general support and hospitals need vainly code cases in the u. k skyrocketed in july and have remained high ever since dr. fear both numbers combined with the winter flu season, could overwhelm the health system. and it has treats also on the prime minister to implement the more stringent plan b winter, which includes vaccine passports, and compulsory face mosques so fondly, governments of resisting to move chair, much to the disappointment of some of the frontline. 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 have 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 and we know that hospitals actually run at their most efficient if they're not absolutely pull up with patients. and it doesn't mean that it knock on effects on 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 us at present, which is probably going to get worse before it gets better. i'm in the should take care of the rest of political leaders and the state of emergency all combining to emerge to enrage protests as incident who spilled onto the trees. getting tires on 5 cale 16 have been unraveling in the north african country for more than 24

hours. now. tough reports and their reports are coming in that the prime minister, his wife, detained on monday, have been returned home, but placed on the guard. that's been wise for the international condemnation of the power grant with the us and trim and suspending that financial aid of the country. 7 people were reportedly shot dead and at least 140 injured. as the result of von and clashes between protesters and the army ah, do with

things now are somewhat of an impasse, a violence impulse that is people in the streets they, they're staying out there impetus burning cars, blocking or fruits, but 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, a 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 there 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, 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 of the civilian leaders that they've arrested. they've also condemned this and said that they had no warding, that the school was in the works to be clear, we were not given any heads up about this. there is no 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 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,

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 democracy. even with all the trouble that brings and we have seen economic collapse over the last few years in saddam 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 into that network. but one refugee from sedan that we've spoken to says these latest military takeover boots ill for his country. why. 1 it was

a surprise for us. we didn't expect that he 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 imposing 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 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. while we were counting on the new governments to create a civil state. yet another rift is taking shape in the european union after 9 member states, including germany said on monday, they would not support reform on the blocks electricity market. the dispute came ahead of an emergency meeting that took place early in luxembourg and where you

ministers raised their disagreements over how to and 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 remedied to mitigate the current rising energy prices linked to fossil fuels. markets are the 9 country se bear against radical reforms. instead, they support a foster renewable rollout and integration. we use electricity market, and that's not the only hurdle facing block members. so several e u countries including francis levine ear whose infrastructure minutes that shad today's imagines to energy amazing express support for the use of nuclear power. while at that very issue has previous lead to in fighting among states out his shalley davinsky picks up the story. the energy crisis combined with e u countries trying to meet colbin neutrality targets,

bodes well for francis favorite form of power nuclear in brussels. 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 had 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, has been proven to be the most dangerous and expensive form of energy production at home. craft nuclear power is actually not the best for the future. now their energy sources should come 1st in block, in the long term, we should move away from both fossil fuels and nuclear energy towards natural sustainably generated power. plus moving harry frogs, nuclear power is far better. received president michael 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 grid operate to r t also insist that nuclear is essential to the energy portfolio. building 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 e. u. meaning that this won't be a source of power to draw from, as the energy crisis bites this winter, and also possibly in till 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, overt during this pinch. some e lee doesn't 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 over gas shipping to nuclear won't change the need for that relationship with moscow. not only to some elements that are essential for nuclear vision 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 tight. you linked to moscow experts know that we must rely on russia gas. no problem about that, is there a maybe they would prefer to have energy coming from the united states, but we need outside sources. russia is also proposed long term contracts to governments. so the governments for the moment, they don't really complain about 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 affected. it's only, you know,

specifics only the last cubic meter. that's so expensive, so i think really everything will be solved by spring nuclear energy will be on the list of the wild green taxonomy to use one of the crate wording that european commission is used, which is excellent. and gas from russia will be fine to be accepted as the best solution we are. we are neighbors and we must rely on russian gas. no problem. so if i want to program british m. p. 's dissects the debacle. that was the maitre true withdrawal from afghanistan during an evidence session slamming what one of them called schoolboy ever is that after the break with

ah, ah, with a ah, with join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm.

ah ah, this is ancy. welcome back. british and peace have conducted a post mortem of the night had troop withdrawal from afghanistan during the evidence session. basic mistakes were identified was only one option that was withdraw. doesn't worry you, it's silly to me. on a serious issue like this, there appears to be not across government approach to this in terms of joined up approach. seems to be some variance here in the titles. inevitably, there were some very difficult questions pointed to the defense secretary from the committee who's very job is to hold foreign policy to a town. and this committee is primarily really angry because so far the government

has refused to launch a full scale inquiry into the withdrawal of africa based on 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 to felt really one on the one hand they feel like the entire episode was a monumental failure in terms of foreign policy, but also a real moment for the moral obligations of the african people as well. now we all kicked off surrounding the p steel. that was struck with the tale on which ben wall 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 gonna drop that guns. get rid of a uniforms and go home because they will see the winds of change once again sweeping across afghanistan. so it's a critical school boy era 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 carpool 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. while the defense secretary, much like many ministers and military experts full back on that argument, how over the law was 20 years, the counter terrorism effort actually prevented groups like al qaeda from launching and re any terrorist attacks from within afghanistan and the u. k. hockey is disbanded the group in its entirety, but considering the taliban now have taken over the region, it almost seems redundant. however, ben wallace did admit that the big picture, the big political picture in terms of its campaign didn't walk. i don't, i don't think we were defeated nature with

a to enable that. he camp political resolution a political campaign. and i think that is what failed. we were the enabler. the military was there to put in place the security environment in order to try and deliver that. when that was withdrawn. that when you find out whether your political campaign has worked and i think what we discovered, it didn't work right now. it's clear to say that people, one answers, and many people are asking what went wrong, and why did the united kingdom leave afghanistan, how on earth the taliban took over so quickly? plus, of course, the key issue that one and a half 1000 people ask on interpreters included that are 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 at the united kingdom of totally abandoning them. we met to simply record this message in the hope that someone out there will hear

a voice and take action to rescue us and our families. but just a final point than the chairman of the committee to bias ellwood speaking auster, that quite long session. he said the group are only just as scratching the surface to day and they'll be many more uncomfortable moments. full members of parliament that actually were key players in the withdrawal of afghanistan. britton's secret services are storing the most classified documents on amazon and the u. s. company has reportedly landed lucrative contracts with government communications headquarters and my 5 and my 66 at said to use the cloud system. according to reports, the contract will allow supplies to shy information more easily from abroad, and the last of greater integration of a amazon looks sent to land to 1000000000 pounds over the next 10 years. in the deal, the u. k. and amazon have so far, refused to comment with spoke with former m. i 5 intelligence officer. and he was

shaun who things it imposes on u. k. sovereignty. i find it astonishing that the most secret national security information contained by m i 5 and i 6 and g t h q can be outsourced to a private corporation based within another nation. faith. i mean, they've always, always made such a huge issue every bit of information they got to keep themselves. they've got very laws to protect 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. it's just an out sourcing of british national sovereignty that is going on here. and everyone would say, well, alex america, there are friends. but we've seen time and time again over the last 20 years, at least when the war and terrorist started how they can manipulate an abuse intelligence behind the scenes. and also have hon. let intelligence can be in this aspect when it comes to national security and high grade intelligence and

protecting agent lives and ongoing operations. to outsource this information to a foreign company, i just find an absolute cooling amid as per shore, a transition to clean energy. burton is planning cash incentives to help finals go green, but the 5000 pound grant vale to encourage people to install heat pumps till threatens to leave brits out of pocket. the grant as part of britons push to phase out gas boil is but a trip. hey, pump reportedly called just under $9000.00 pounds of insulation, which is much more than a basic boiler. the cost isn't expected to be offset by cheap monthly bills either since heat pumps use electricity, which costs more than gas. so if some a what is trench financially it's will thing out the boiler is not viable for somebody and i prefer by myself. retired or where are they going to find over

7000 pounds. that's going to cost them 40 percent more. you're going to be a $5000.00 pound grown to install. the basic cost is $12000.00 and the long basically it's going to cost more. even if i reinstall for free electrons a few times, it would still increase. so i don't think any of you going to get a want them because the cost, the ridiculous at the moment about 85 percent. are you gay homes or have to buy gas boilers and that counts for a good chunk of the countries. carbon emissions, but hopes of driving that percentage down will rest unconvincing crisis. critics who fear hate pump have no been properly sought. 3 pounds not suitable for the normal english cannot make cross for to run then the lazy

reliable i built a house years ago. and i in cool to the house from sleep and the house came with the insulation of me, missing the clothes, the walls and ceilings and the roof virtually hated it. so that way it works. but with an english house from u. k. house that's just not possible. you have to rebuild the house. so the government doesn't build out how these properties envelop is filled. that house is the only way that's going to stop building those sort of the low price managers in the us show no sign of easing anytime soon. the secretary of the treasury has that inflation rates are likely to remain at near decade highs until at least the 2nd half of next year. and to give you an idea how that's helping people in that pocket,

the prices of used cars and stakes have shown up by more than 20 percent. and if you want eggs with those steaks, you pay 30 percent more for them compared to the beginning of this year. while furniture and bedding are up by double digit percentage points as well. us officials say the inflation rate is way above the forecasts. the comm charge to the economy has caused 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. it's not in the us that has been hate hart. the chief economists for the international monetary fund won't inflationary pressures around the globe will remain at least until the middle of $20.00 to $22.00. that's due in part to disruption to supply chains. during the pandemic and in the u. k, is the poor is who appear to baby hardest haves. the opposition labor party claim those less well of a paying up to 50 percent morn and inter bills compared to wealthy families marks

kinds a host of the kinds of report on ours. he believes the money printing policies a washington and london are only adding fuel to the fire. the u. s. is 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 the money is going to 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 stop 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 rate bound. roger, 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 out of the fire if they were to 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. europe today to end more news in about 10 minutes time coming up next to not have to national

it's boom bust ah, so driven by dreams shaped by centers and those with dares sinks we dare to ask for, does europe have a strategic vision for the future? what kind of relationship will it develop with china? europe stands at a crossroads, will remain dependent on washington as a junior partner. or will europe opt to play the role of

a great power on the world stage. and united states has to be rash, to be able to afford any time in front of 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's as if these people don't count. i saw how they can choose their customers and dump a sick so also a can satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should have to see what i saw.
