of some common ground headlines, serenity international, a 1000000 euros a day. that is the price of poland will have to pay for daring to defy the e u. the blocks court of justice, a slap warsaw with a penalty. the ongoing dispute over the rule of law, freedom or a possible 175 year prison sentence. julian sanchez, fate now rests in the hands of the u. k. high court as an extradition appeal hearing to america for the whistleblower stotts today in london. also in the program of chile warning from the united nations. now saying the situation in afghanistan is so bad that a half the country's population could face acute malnutrition. this when we're here from the organization to really pay for deep territories material crisis. well,

even today we're talking about 90000000 people. well, as we say it can be fin secured, that means the experiencing hunger on a daily basis. ah, quite locker most go, this is auntie international. very well. welcome to you. a busy day so far for this channel. we do begin this, our was in breaking news for you regarding a long simmering rule of law. a dispute between the e. u and poland? well, it's taken yet another ton. the used court of justice has just ordered warsaw to pay a daily fine of 1000000 euros. it comes off to poland. constitutional court previously ruled that local law trumped european law. short time ago, i spoke about this with an artist peter on over. it's a major escalation in that ongoing dispute over rule of law between brussels and

war, saw it comes after poland, top court ruled that the polish constitution supersedes a you law. now, the european court of justice is said until that ruling is overturned, poland going to face a 1000000 euro fine every single day. the vice president recalls that a member state cannot played provisions, practices, or situations prevailing in its domestic legal order to justify failure to observe obligations arising under you law. it appears necessary to strengthen the effectiveness of the interim measures by providing for the imposition of a periodic penalty payment on poland in order to deter that member state from delaying bringing its conduct into line with that order. the reason that the e c, j has gone in so hard on poland is what the ruling from the constitutional tribunal in warsaw at risk to basically they're concerned. it puts the,

the whole nature of the european union's unified rule of law at risk. now that everything from. busy extradition treaties to cross border disputes ranging from divorce to multi $1000000000.00 deals. all of that put at risk if one member state is allowed to say, actually our rules are more important than the blocks rules. if you thought that the threat of a 1000000 euro a day, fine would chased an a recalcitrant poland. well, there mateusz might have hit sky. the polish prime minister has been bullish in his response. what will happen if the european commission starts a 3rd world war by going to defend our rights with any weapons which are at our disposal. there is a chance that this ruling by the european court of justice in a decision to impose these fines, could cause real splits within the european union block because senior figures major voices within the a you had been saying,

let's not push poland to hard among those voices, german chancellor angler merkel who warned against putting in place to stiff financial penalties on poland leicester turned into the fact that they would ab double down and create a bunker mentality in warsaw. it seemed though that those voices, like those of anglo merkel, haven't been listened to the european court of justice has gone ahead with these fines. we waiting to see what this ultimately ends open in an ongoing dispute between walsall and brussels. when our joined bipolar nato la, for my member of the european parliament coming on the program on this wednesday afternoon. good afternoon. thanks very much for joining us here on our tea. so a fine of a 1000000 euros a day. brussels not really messing around here. well, it seems astronomical, doesn't it? especially considering that the polish prime ministers argued the german coals at

the spanish, the french, they will pass in the rulings regarding the primacy of the law. yet nothing seems to happen. so in the european union, it seems that because one rule for the east, central european countries like poland, i don't know that for the rich west of european countries, and i think it's wholly on for but beyond the 1000000 euro a day over the rule of law there's also the threat to withhold the 56000000000 pound your 1000000000. your package for rebuilding after the pandemic. so it could be a double y meeker poland. and yet pose is also the want to you remember the guess the most subsidies and i was cast from brussels. and yet the now we have this rule of law dispute going on, isn't that the fine is only just been an hour, so no reaction from war soul yet you think the officials will so will be caught by surprise. i think i'd be very hungry. i'm not sure, but they'll be surprised because the whole polish disputes has split the p and union in many ways not only has

a created division between the leaders within the european union. so for example, on one hand you've got micron and you've got mob rooker who is the prime minister of hollow, wanting to see poland punished on the other. you've got anglo medical who's calling for more george or raw, the wall and for them to sit down and have conversations. and then you have the group on who was backing poland. the hell. so does a split that amongst the capitals, but also there's a split amongst the institutions. so whereas the european commission wants to sit down and have more conversations with poland regarding this issue. the european parliament wants to see poland punished right now. and therefore the p and parliament was threatened to, to suit your opinion commission unless the actor before november the 2nd. so there's problems all round on. this is called the, this is going to play out know for quite a long time, but it will be interesting to see how also responds a port,

just lost hours interviewing a member of parliament who described this tactic by brussels, a sort of a bullying tactic a very heavy handed response, what do you make of that? well, this is generally how brussels behaves. what is interesting is that only really behaves like this. toward certain countries, it's behaving like this towards pulled and now it's behaving like this towards whole re, i don't know that will behave like this was hungry again in the future and possibly lavine. as i said earlier, the beginning of this interview and similarly past the colds in germany and brand spots. nothing seems to happen when the richer countries do this. because the in the european union money talks, i'm going to say they'll be interesting to see how was, will respond to these fines. i suspect knowing the polls as i do that they will respond in a very serious matter. and you know, i think that they will fight back because let's not forget the polish government on

a threatening to take germany to cold because as a 3rd, germany of past rulings. but the european union doesn't seem to want to act on that . not a very happy family at the moment there in the european union, paula want to, i wanted to ask you the punish prime minister has said before the doesn't one to end. poland membership of the you but, but as you are suggesting a few moments ago, there are potential reverberations that can go across the block just from this one argument between brussels and war. so how, how important is it for the block to keep poland as a member? i will, it's very important because obviously i lost britain in 2016. what they don't want is a poll exit. i do, i will say this. i always believed that your opinion union would never, would not survive into the middle of the century. and i always talk to the bottom line would be economists. so i thought the bottom line will be between the richard countries in the north of the autopay in union, such as germany and france on the polar countries in the south. you know,

you're italy in your spain and you, greece. but the bottom line that was different to the bottom line is east and west, and the dividing line is cultural. and i genuinely believe that the european union will clap on cultural lines because the more traditional central european countries, you know, who's, who's at the ology is often based on christianity. do not rarely mario with the aggressive liberalism of the west. and that's where i think the european union will falter, but i think we'll see this play out in the decades comm. yeah, really good point to the end that po not hold a for my member of the european parliament. we appreciate it. thanks for your time today. she is in prison. what he li, founder julian assange, find himself back in court today as a to day extradition to here and gets underway in the u. k. the high court has considering an appeal by walk into an over a previous ruling to block the whistleblowers extradition, of course, is wanted by washington to face 17 charges of espionage and one of conspiracy. how

could government computer, if conflicted, assange could get a prison sentence of 175 years? a hearing forward you, it is now picked up in the united states is now appealing to a ruling made by britain started back in january with the united states. that was a decision phase of primarily on the risk i made about trying to trying a new is i've already presented the all human a not the play at a maximum security prison in the united states and even 2nd sentence grade level.

so on hearing the sound of mental and physical health has been made out of actually with the united states with actually prevent and committing suicide is expedited. interestingly, though, during the day is a parent via video i his l. how but the noise acting, pull the united states, say that his helping me on the day that today hearing a date, it will be the opportunity to present a defendant hold your thoughts. but today already there are plenty of processes behind me that i hear a song. and just the whole hearing i just a few hours ago, we had a june not be free. junior will not be here in person today. it was denied that opportunity was i think

i'll grade july. the can be only one decision here. that is no extra edition. u. s . has abused the laws the agreements with this country. it's abusing the expedition agreements with this country in order to have this hearing today. it has to come to an end. julian has to be free a completely this area to the log of the month is now and that has been revelations that they are a potential gain a more it's a field say, even mentioning had a she was taken by just how thing. he was many medical professionals saying that the radio just have it taking his i live could really be,

but the most mom a 70 and really i problems in the palm that thanks to an investigation have on people that u. s. intelligence offices. i information that revealed cia, actually, the kidnapped units on to even as fascinate a while. he was hold up in london, ecuadorian embassy. now it's all, just lawyers say that this shouldn't be, i'm pulling up evidence. those are the case. and finally, out to a motivated case again, it today, john ship and the father of doing this on he was here on the streets of london banking protested, embracing them saying that this campaign will not be over until june. this honorable freely, oh, a

condition, a willingness to fall. i was really is going to be job city. crucial for the face of june, a saw to put it on like to reach any concrete decision. grady because if the united states it's successful in the next 22 days the case will be sent back to another cool that then could make a decision until many appeals could happen until then even to reaching the supreme court as well. in the meantime, however, i expected to remain within the prison caused bellagio for isn't. it's not expected that he will be taught to fail any time soon with a baby. all he that you should be walking free. that isn't just about due to just

about the story of one mind, but actually i sense in the fundamental principle that kind of journalistic read i was in the basic right for people to access nation and really the right to tell the truth and do the right thing we had a chance to speak to some of us on just supporters outside the courthouse on how they feel about this hearing. and the u. s. appeal to extradite the whistle problem . i sat by the logs, the real with the mileage, but bruce little to and are here. i'll be general if you've committed a fairly serious offensive great, good job with 2 and a half years. but he's been not convicted of anything. you know, weekly published the truth is to pull it up for you as of now with now with the kids. the decision baited january the should not be extra cited. the fact that the united states can reach their long harm out into the world and walk that

journal in that it's not even an american who has never worked in the united states and charge, or friday char came with me. they say, well, you know, with the us call, we trusted eddie. think they say they talk about people extradited judicial what we severe. but if he's extra, di did, they will kill him effectively. well, the hearing comes off for a number of potentially game changing developments that could influenced a long running battle over julian sanchez fight. right now, though it remains to be seen whether the court will take them into consideration as our correspondent any up a trend co. now invested when last month's journalists revealed an alleged c i plot to kidnap or even kill julian assange. many of those who read it must have

thought, wow, if the mightiest 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 report are true, it just shows how much he's loathed by adding one in charge in d. c. for his partner though and other prominent activists, it served as another chance to convince the rest of the world what washington's real intentions are when it comes to assange. this is a game changer going into that appeal because it shows the true nature, the true origins that show criminality of the u. s. actions against ju n. now reports that the ca conceited kidnapping, or killing assange, 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 us on 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 blocked for 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 my compare did, they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the central intelligence agency. maybe they didn't, maybe as a cop, just made it up. but you should, i take seriously my responsibilities to protect that information. this can be seen as pump out 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 said include attempts to hack into the computers of members of parliament and recalled that conversations in farts thought us. and now mister stunted that the sancha never asked him to hack or access phone recordings of him.

he's motor sets of language emerges in the aforementioned judgments where it states the songs use the unauthorized access given to him by a source access equivalence. websites of iceland used to try to 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 free them. 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 it 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. will. that half of the entire population of afghanistan could face acute malnutrition, this winter with many deaths. expected. that is the dia warning from the un, which is now demanding immediate action. it's a letter for it says a record of $22000000.00 plus afghans will suffer from food insecurity. although much 3000000 children under the age of 5 are at risk of dying and not submit the precarious state of the economy, which has been heavily dependent on foreign funds for years. in fact, around 40 percent of its gross domestic product has been entirely international aid

. now the crisis follows the chaotic us withdrawal offer a 20 year military presence. that, of course, the taliban class to buy much of the world as a terror organization rapidly took the whole of the country and the capital. since then, western countries along with international financial bodies have stopped their aid payments. and the un food and agriculture organization has worn, the worst is yet to come. ah, 1st and foremost situation today in afghanistan and looking forward is really, really alarming. let's remember 70 percent of afghans people live in rural areas involved in agriculture. so the drought has had had a massive effect already. that's why early on this year we were already sounding the alarm for this or, you know, the describing, you know, tearing crisis children are the worst hit a few days, a few weeks of deep hunger can lead to standing, it can lead to wasting. these are 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 was, it is, it's the most important sector in terms of people's lives in this collapse is now done with, we're 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 clinics need need money for the doctors of the salaries of equipment except with a really big, broad, deep, terrifying, communitarian crisis. well, even today we're talking about 19000000 people who are, as we say, acutely feeling 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 the by the end of the year into next year, 23000000. that's more, that's 55 percent. more 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 a $1000000000.00 was pledged,

but all that about $275000000.00 has arrived in the hands of human terrans, fm i and organization w, p. unicef. so one of the money that was pledged has yet to arrive, but who quite honest, it's only gonna be a drop in the ocean. the situation is, is deteriorating so quickly, so dramatically the scale and the speed at which the humanitarian catastrophe, which monitoring crisis is unfolding. heading towards catastrophe, means that unfortunately fall far more money is required. sweden has gone from having one of the lowest gun crime rates in europe to having one of the highest over the past 20 years. and following the recent high profile, killing of a 19 year old rafa called e, not a several politicians are now demanding urgent action. we are in the national crisis. and now the political leadership needs to take back control over the situation. the limits of what can be accepted in a civilized country were supposed

a very long time ago. we need action not words to turn the tide and get sweden in order. now more than anger and despair are a quiet action is needed. where many who mourn who have had enough of the senseless mileage and want to see gain crime fought? well i sweden's gun violence right has been on the rise in 2013. the majority of fatal shootings have been linked to organized crime. and the countries annual gotten homicide rate has much higher in relation to other european countries. while our group of politicians have submitted a $34.00 point plan to the government, aimed at combating guy again, crime. at the heart of the program lay efforts to bolster security. and one measure being undertaken is to recruit an extra 10000 offices by 2024. but form mp cand, ecker author believe suite and still needs major changes to reverse the figures. our laws to 2 week against organized crime punishment started to lean so so

there's a lot of things you need to do in the area of criminal law that is not being done, not by the current government, not by the former government because they don't realize what's needed to be done and we need the major changes in sweden. to fix this problem, we need to real life sentences. we need much more surveillance. when it comes to criminal gowns, we need a special penal code to fight criminal gangs that i posts 10 years ago. but no one listened back then the government current and former government, they are doing minor changes, but those changes doesn't matter. to us the news cars for this our here on our to international live from oscar, nearly half past 4 and wednesday afternoon. we're keeping a very close eye on london and the u. k. high court is overseeing a hearing with julian assange for the next 24 hours. will he be made a free man? will keep you posted here on arte

ah a federal reserve. there you go. ahead no recreation came when we get the rest is 7 years a report ah mm. in. ah

. i'm african retired say we're going underground on budget day in london. coming up with the show is boris johnson's. you can government got 26 leading the well to extinction. we ask an adviser on the environment to some of the world's largest companies, jonathan pores, and with the most significant multinational climate event in years. just days away, when nato enemies, russia, and china said to be a no show, all the small coming up in today's going underground with fast is violence linked to u. k. arm sales and foreign policy continues to rock sudan, syria, yemen and jerusalem. britain so called mainstream media laser focused more on this weekend glasgow gaap 26 summit billed is a chance, perhaps a lost chance to save humanity from climate catastrophe. i'm joined now by author activists in the diane of green politics in britain for decades. jonathan port, thanks so much. johnson for coming on to extinction. rebellion saying nothing in the run up that resembles

a compassionate functional response to the crisis. and that we should expect catastrophic failure. and i don't know whether to go means you mean you're going to amplify the distractions is it, is that true events as usual, a bit over the top, catastrophic failure is not on the cards. the likelihood of it being a failure is still a very real possibility. as far as johnson himself, as actually acknowledge, but the likelihood is they'll do the usual sort of law minute the rabbit, sort of that story. so the press release is, can be written, telling us all the class. there was a great success. it won't be a great success because the gaps between what needs to be done and what is the moment likely to be done if the gaps are just too big. so it won't be a catastrophe, but it certainly isn't gonna get done. everything that needs to get done, and we shouldn't be too surprised by argue, be alarmist league documents revealing lobbying by saudi arabia, australia, japan,

and other countries to the i, p. c. c, 2 to water. now, recommendations, and we shouldn't be too worried about that. i mean, that happens every single time that the governmental panel comes up with a new record. it's part of the course. and it's actually, it's not that bad part of the process because you've got the scientists actually engaging with the politicians. the scientists say the politicians, every single time they push back, they say, sorry, we just deal with the science. it's up to you to sort of politics when you get together in glasgow wherever it might be. but nothing you're saying to us actually undermines the science that we're giving you. it's very clear the process is really clear. i personally, i was suppose that i would be very surprised if governments like saudi arabia weren't making any sense of themselves trying to chip away at scientific consensus . because the signing consensus is pretty devastating for countries like saudi.
