best getting away with murder ah, ah, b e you fails to agree on how to protect citizens and businesses from soaring energy bills, but say it has launched the hold for who's the blame for the heated market. a shilling warning from the united nations which sees this situation in afghanistan is so dire, but half the country's entire population could face a cute malnutrition this winter with many dying, we fear from the organisation really terrifying to materially, crisis. even today we're talking about the 19000000 people who aren't as we say, company and secure, that means they're experiencing hunger on a daily basis and freedom for a possible 175 year prison sentence peculiar sanchez,

faith rests in the hands of the u. k 's high court as an extradition appeal hearing to the u. s. for the whistleblower starts today in london. ah . just after 11 a. m in bay roots in athens on here in moscow this wednesday october the 27th i am una neil on this is the news our on our t the e has fail to agree and how to shield consumers and european companies from soaring energy bills. although brussels now says it's looking for who to blame for the price spike. the commission competition department has begun collecting evidence about market behavior, main gas suppliers with a view to detecting any anti competitive behavior in the energy market. the use

investigators though avoid naming any potential a culprits. the emergency talks were held on tuesday ministers from the 27 member states gathered in looks and berg, hoping to come up with new anti crisis measures ahead of the winter season. some suggestions include a tax cuts for small businesses as well as social support for. busy vulnerable, hustles analysts predict there'll be no sign of the energy price surge eating before the spring. meanwhile, storing fuel prices are begging the question of how far would you drive to fill up your tank? and it seems the answer for some german motorists is abroad. increasing numbers are traveling across the border to get their petrol at much cheaper. prices appears that could be a journey they'll be doing for some time. with all the political talk at home focused on green energy or europe correspondent peter oliver reports from the polish pumps. the cost of living in germany is on the rise. it's clear when you go

to the supermarket and see the prices of fruit vege. it's even clearer when you go onto the full court of paint chill stations. and what we're seeing really is the unstoppable force of rising fuel prices colliding with the immovable object. that is german reliance on the automobile. it's prompted some german motorists to cross national boundaries like coming here to poland in order to try and find a cheaper alternative to filling up driving across the border. just your fuel is particularly worthwhile if the price difference is a high and the distance is a very short germany has some of the highest fuel prices in the european union. and to break down this whole situation into its most basic form. if you wish to fill up a full tank of fuel on this side of the river odor in germany, it would cost you around 25 years more than if you were to phillip here in poland.

i spoke to some people who made that journey from germany to poland in order to fill lead time today. you know, of course everyone is worried about prices. i've heard they could tripled next year by the prices are going up everywhere. i'm worried filling up the tank will become too expensive as i depend on my car, even the far away from public transport. what are you supposed to do? own good. good. also, the price is unbelievably high. we are. oh, sure. okay, well i do worry about it a lot and it's happening all around the world in germany and here in poland as well . it's not just in poland, but this is being seen with savings of almost 50 euro cents per liter. drivers have been going from germany to the czech republic to fill their tanks. it's cheaper than in germany. the price is here, 30 percent lower. that's why we're here. 3 way coalition talks to form a new german government between the social democrat greens and the free democrats

are continuing. and what to do about price high expose at the supermarket. and the petrol station set to be a big part of both with some suggesting but a cut to taxes, particularly when it comes to fuel is the only way forward. however, that's likely to be contested by some who would say that lowering taxes on fossil fuels sends out the wrong message when it comes to germany's strife the calvin neutrality. meanwhile, german drivers may well be forced to cross national boundaries more in order to make sure they can fill up. so less feature all of a r t on the german polish border. and other story were closely following. more than half the entire population of afghanistan could face acute malnutrition. this winter with many dying, don is the dire warning from the un, which is demanding immediate action. its latest report saves a record. $22000000.00 plus off guns will suffer from food insecurity. while almost

3000000 children under 5 are at risk of dying from malnutrition. that's amid the precarious state of the economy, which has been heavily dependent on foreign funds for years around 40 percent as well. of its gross domestic product has been international lead. will a crisis follows they? k, all sick us withdrawal after a 20 year military presence there, the taliban class by much of the world as a terror organisation rapidly re took control of the country and captured its capital couple. since then, western countries, along with international financial bodies have halted their aid payments. you ends, food and agriculture organization has won the worst is yet to come. first and foremost, the situation to day in afghanistan and looking forward is really, really alarming. let's remember 70 percent of afghans people live in rural areas in

golden agriculture. so the drought has had had a massive effect already. that's why early on this year we were already sounding the alarm from his discouragement, hearing crisis, children all the worst hit a few days, a few weeks of deep hunger can lead to stunting. it can lead to wasting these a. secondly, look at the short term. we're talking about the country in which agriculture, as i said it's, it's, it's 80 percent of livelihoods that's, you know, it's was, it is, it's the most important sector in terms of people's lives in this collapse is now done with looking at massive displaced. there are thousands of health clinics that are struggling at a time when because of the, the crisis, the needs are going up. we're starting to see more and more children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. the kinks need need money for the doctors for the salaries of equipment, et cetera. a really big, broad, deep, terrifying monitoring crisis. well, even today we're talking about 19000000 people who are,

as we say acutely food insecure, that means they're experiencing hunger on a daily basis. and as you said, we haven't seen the worst yet. the projections are that by the end of the year and next year 23000000, that's more that's 55 percent more. ringback than one out of every 2 afghan men, women and children will be in that situation. in september, a high level meeting in geneva took place, $1000000000.00 was pledged, but all that about $275000000.00 has arrived in the hands of human terrans, f. o, m, i and organization w with p. unicef. so one of the money that was pledged has yet to arrive, but to be quite honest, it's only gonna be a drop in the ocean situation is, is deteriorating so quickly, so dramatically the scale and the speed which the, by the turn catastrophe, which military crisis is unfolding heading towards catastrophe means that unfortunately fall far more money is required. let's set give you an update on the ongoing term,

all in northeast africa where the sudanese prime minister has not been released. he'd been detained along with his wife and monday, amid the military takeover of the country. the military chief who led the cook claimed on tuesday, the prime minister was detained for his own safety, nodding nuts. he had been staying at the general's house, the military over throw spark wide spread outrage across the country with people pouring on to the streets to vent their anger. the subsequent chaos in suit dumb lead to global condemnation of the qu, washington piling on the pressure. we've already made clear that we are pressing pause on a significant aspects of our economic assistance to sudan. and we will look at the full range of economic tools available to us in coordination and consultation with regional actors and other key countries to make sure that we are trying to push ah, the suit, the, the entire sudanese political process back in a positive direction after this significant in

a warming set back of the specify what mr. sullivan was alluding to there. the u. s . state department earlier and on the whole to hundreds of millions of dollars in economic aid to the country in response to the curb. but just who does that decision hurt the most? a question or senior correspondent, neurotic sd of has been looking it in this day and age. almost nothing is sacred off limits. you can weaponized anything, trade, culture information. it doesn't have to kill all it has to do is hut. in light of these developments, the united states is pausing assistance from, from the $700.00 are $700000000.00 in emergency assistance appropriations of economic support funds for suzanne. this was badly needed money for one of the poorest nations in the world, but it came of all sorts of political strings attached thick cables of them. as a door assistance often does,

they are weapons behave do as you are told or will cut you off. the problem is, the people who get cut off usually aren't the ones that misbehaved. like when the us froze of gas dawns, bank accounts. president biden is not hurting the taliban, or the current regime. this is really hurting every day. afghans and the united states will push them into further poverty. take my word for it. while in afghanistan, i didn't see a single hungry taliban fighter. i saw thousands of civilians, the boy out in the streets, willing to sell family members for food because they weren't getting salaries because i've got a sons bank accounts had been froze it, but no magazine among them. and this sort of keratin stick approaches seem frequently. we stop paying a low of a to them and they will not see that money again until that here to the agreement. but they built a damn that stops the water from flowing into the neil. and you can't blame egypt

for being a little bit upset. i had a deal done for them and unfortunately escape here broke the deal, which it should not have done. that was a great mistake. and sought the united states, cut hundreds of millions of dollars worth of health care, and education and development, aid to the government of ethiopia, the suspension of a proved pointless. the little besides irritates ethiopia. and of course de leon, stop countless health care and education programs or take palestine for ever at the receiving end of those u. s. h cut. what does that achieved this administration is thereby targeting the most vulnerable segment of the palestinian people and depriving refugees of the right to education, health, shelter, and dignified life. but that was all child's play compared with what transpired in venezuela held the long by ruinous us sanctions. they struck as venezuela was going

through an economic crisis and that resulted in near complete e can amik annihilation. inflation had half a 1000000 percent of fantastical figure, but with very real consequences. you'd think that lessons had been learned that pulling aid to poor nations as like pulling a meal from a hungry person. the leads aren't the ones that suffer and starve that isn't the reasoning behind age cut. think cynical, think heartless? the idea behind pulling aid is as simple as it is cruel to compel ve the angry, the hungry and the desperate master rise up against their own rulers, that the elites truly fear, imprison wikileaks funder julian assange, finds himself back in court today as a to day extradition hearing gets underway in the u. k. the high court will

consider an appeal by the u. s. over a previous ruling to block the whistleblowers extradition. he's wanted by. busy washington to face 17 charges of espionage and one of conspiracy to huck. a government computer if convicted, he could face a prison sentence of 175 years. the i well we can go live know to side. busy to court and speak to are to show the edwards dusty good morning showed you a lot riding on this hearing. of course, for julie massage, and indeed an anxious few days ahead for his supporters to absolutely empty the tuesday hearing else the extra position, the final hearing. actually this sounds it's just taking off directly behind me here at the royal court of justice in central london. it's where the united states

will far will now begin the appeals process to try and revise the decision via versus george back in january. to expedite judy assigns to the united states that was based on the grounds that he was our high risk of suicide. so today is all about washington putting forward a case over time. that decision and noise today are expected really to go hard on the angle that the united states is often on. i sent it a package of reassurances to june the sanchez team that he would not be held under the maximum security prison. and also you could even set his jo time in australia. now, noise will also in person, the angle that he has mental health is physical health isn't as bad as louis making out that far, if you could indeed have prevent him from being a suicide risk. of course, the united states once during the songs for his alleged role in one of the largest

compromises of classified information in the history of the united states. and they found guilty and convicted. he could close the prison senses out of up to a 175 years behind bars that says the united states have indicted him under 17 towns under the knowledge of publishing a testify documents related to the war in iraq and australia. san was one of conspiracy, it's a hat, a government computer to do so i. so this is what today is all about, but of course it's a 2 day hearing, meaning tomorrow, a june assigned will have an opportunity to put forward the defense. and the lawyers really argue that there's been huge, potentially gain changing revelations in recent months. one of which was that his health is absolutely deteriorating. we only this had happened sell a more of the partner of june inside a few days ago that says that she says she was taken aback with just how then he really was. and many medical professionals saying it is no exaggeration just how

much he is at risk of suicide. but there has been also a mammoth revelation in recent weeks. now, the new facts have been put forward that around a former c i, a intelligence official came forward to say actually that the cia had planned to assassinate, or even kidnapped you in a silence when he was pulled up in london to ecuador and embassy, also confirming that he was certainly a spider within the embassy as well. now, judas saunders lawyers say that not only is his ample evidence to almost bur out the case from court in its entirety, but also this is a 100 percent copay nation. this is a politically motivated case, this is something that in the united states has repeatedly denied. so these 2 days are really going to be quite jam packed. it's on the likely to reach any concrete resolution or decision today because it's in the united states actually succeed. this could then go back to a lower court,

but still further appeals could even reach the supreme court. all in the meantime then june assigned will remain ebay will not be released under bail conditions, but actually will have to say within about marcia prison. but today, many, many campaigners have taken the streets of central london. they argue that he has pe, the ultimate price, simply telling the truth and that i can be hit 1st. these crimes and those people that committed the crime should actually be facing the prison sentences instead, not jude in the songs. and in recent days campaign to stephanie, i think one of the most notable quotes for me was from yes again. selim morris to partner and mother of his 2 children. she says his rights are our rights. if he loses, we all lose. so this goes far beyond the story of just one man appeared in assange was actually about the fundamental tenant and principles of journalistic freedoms and the right to do the right thing and tell the truth from my side,

the high court in the british capital r t chevy edwards dusty and indeed a chevy was going through the hearing comes after a number of potentially game changing developments that could influence the long running parcel over julian sanchez. faith right now, though it remains to be seen whether the court will take them into consideration of alia, the tranquil texas trip. when last month journalists revealed and alleged to see a plot to kidnap or even kill julian assange. many of those who read it must have thought, wow, if the mighty use of spy agencies was so keen to get rid of the whistleblower, it's really a miracle he's still alive. if the claims from september's report are true, it just shows how much he's loathed. busy by anyone in charge in d. c. for his partner though, and other problems activists, it's served as another chance to convince the rest of the world want. washington's

real intentions are when it comes to a sonjee. this is a game changer going into their appeal because this shows the true nature, the true origins, the true criminality of the u. s. actions against julian now reports that the ca, conceited kidnapping, or killing a sounds have cost even more doubt on the reliability of us promises and further expose the political motivation behind this case. a quick reminder of what was revealed in september interviews with an entire team of former trump officials suggested senior members of the administration supposedly requested options for killing assad's one of these alleged options. included engaging in a shoot out in the streets of london. if you read all the gory details, you'll be amazed by how hollywood it all is. that was back in 2017 when we can lease published a damning investigation and to see a hacking tools. this is just how embarrassing things glotts war,

the us system. it's the point at which you'd expect the people and organizations involved to react or rather fail to react by saying no comment. but mike compelled did. they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the central intelligence agency. maybe they didn't, maybe as the cop just made it up, but you should, i take seriously my responsibilities to protect that information. this can be seen as pump out a confirmation of the songs kid. not all kill story. what else would you want to prosecute those sources? speaking about classified activity only a few months ago and i slammed the news outlet reported on some eye, opening testimonies by key witness in the u. s. indictment against the weekly founder. very embarrassing for the us justice system to if true. the iceland national admitted that almost all of what he said while being questioned by the f. b, i consisted of lies proffered an exchange for immunity. from american prosecution.

me ah, this activity was sits include attempts to hack into the computers of members of parliament and recalled their conversations. in fact, thought us and now mister stunted that the sons never asked him to hack or access phone recordings of him peace. more deceptive language emerges in the upper mentioned judgments where it states the sante use the unauthorized access given to him by a source. it's access a government websites of iceland used to track police vehicles and reaction to that. edward snowden said that it was, i'm quoting the end of the case against joy and assange wishful thinking. edward,

if only for once, someone in the obama trump, or the biden administration, gave a damn about what you've been saying or what the leading press freedom activists have been sounding the alarm about hypocrisy. first and foremost, it is a damning indictment at nearly 20 years on virtually no one responsible for alleged us war crimes committed in the course of the afghanistan and iraq was, has been held accountable, let alone prosecuted. and yet the publisher who exposed such crimes is potentially facing a lifetime in jail, right? by the looks of it be a new faces in the white house and the administration or not so new or outright old . forget even thinking about the idea of any of them showing mercy for julian sanchez and moving on. no crime rates are skyrocketing in the u. s. city of

minneapolis and the states democratic representative has pointed the finger directly at the police, accusing officers of not fulfilling their duties. bounced the spite ill. hon o'mara, being among the most vocal advocates of the funding. the force believes she ha, fulfill there. oh and by the public see here, oh to the citizens this minneapolis department is y n o b t ah fulfill dear. oh oh, so for this year there have been 75 homicides in the city, not south 114 percent compared to the same period in 2019. it comes as the

minneapolis police department has lost more than $200.00 officers due to funding cuts, unload morale, but active exclaimed the funding. the force is not enough. they wanted entirely replaced with a so named department of public safety. minneapolis was they sent her a massive wave of protest last year following the death of george floyd in an altercation with a police officer. violent riots are up to a nationwide and lead to a vocal defun. the police protest movement. we got the thoughts of retired police officer, dominic is oh, about the issue the number one thing people wind up doing for political purpose when it comes to are defining the police as it's a gut ral gut wrench or reaction that they're looking at. because you have your constituents, if they're trying to get their votes from, i'll look at it as they're going to get rid of police. let's blame police. let's define them. whatever she wants to put into place, the department of mental halted to take over this. or you're just, you're asking for problems. this comes from not allowing law enforcement to view their job and not being backed properly. and you're going to see such

a disaster unfold in my personal opinion and experience with law enforcement. one of the main reasons that crime rates keep growing up is lack of prosecution. the states attorney would always try to lessen a charging ah, to, to win more prosecute prosecutions, which would put them at about a better position for reelection. but you just, you see a lot of stuff like that, which puts people criminals back on the street. and it perpetuates a cycle. you need to go back to the constitution. you need to have like police officers do their job painting over the past. that's the claim being made against an art museum in the german city of tristan, it's decision to re title more than $100.00 artworks to make them more politically correct. has been widely to write it since the beginning of last year. that dressed in state art collections has renamed 143 works, which it had deemed racist and discriminatory. for example, murray was removed from the title moore with the emerald stage. gypsy madonna

became madonna with a standing child under wharf in the title dog dwarf and a boy was changed to short man. the campaigns attracted nationwide ridicule with a petition not alive, demanding its and mediate reverse. this thing went out. i think such decisions should be taken kathleen, if it really is discriminatory than something have to be done as a fina that i think it's really go to use political correct speech. but if it used to be called that then i probably wouldn't name met him. but i think it's important to point out such things. i think there are better approaches to highlight this without rename in historical things. you can, for example, sign today we're what's called that. but give the old name look anything an ongoing text if they're not politically correct. it's probably better to give context and officer explanations, instead of changing names and actually raising history from oscar push, i'm very skeptical about this. the historical meaning gets changed. if you do this,

you should at least leave an explanation and the original title for her. and i'm sure you're aware what's happening, interests and follows, are creeping trend around the world of renaming. last july in canada, toronto city council renamed a street because it had originally been named after a politician who turned out to have been involved in the slave trade. in 2020 minneapolis city council approve the renaming of a street there in tribute to george floyd and cities. indeed in the u. s. have been increasingly renaming their streets in fact, ostensibly to recognize black history. while in the u. k. hundreds of streets, linked to colonialism and slavery, have seen their old limbs consigned to history. historian dorothea, when the burgers among those concerned about efforts to simply forget the past age 12 months. i don't think you should rename any think you should leave the name the painters or sculptures themselves gave if you want, you can common that it was the norm of the time and that you wouldn't say it like

that today. but is 17th century work is the 17th century work. in 100 years people will judge the names were give to day in the same way and say that strong or immoral times change. and that's why i am always in favor of living as it is in the original one that in honda, john, a deeper dive into a good section of those stories is as always, just a click away and r t dot com no maximum reading limits and articles anything like that on a comment section to share your views as well. do let us know what you're thinking . our 3rd good bye season. ah. my daughters financials. why the guys? i don't buy, hey, i got all the features of the friday at the last time i buy it from a teacher. so franco. watch kaiser reporting.

ah, i i'm absent and see we're going underground on budget day in london. coming up with the show is boris johnson's, u. k. government got 26 leading the well to extinction. we ask an adviser on the environment to some of the world's largest companies, jonathan porridge, and with the most significant multinational climate event in years just days away. one, a, jo, enemies, russia and china said to be a no show all the small coming up in today's going underground. but 1st is violence linked to u. k. arm sales and foreign policy continues to rock c.
