just a little who dies to me, that's best getting away with murder. ah, european gas prices fall off of letting it boot and tells russia any joint gas from to ratchet up supplies. americans are losing faith in jo biden's ability to turn the economy round of the kobe with new polling. shelly democrats, so becoming disillusioned, the fastest also freedom or a possible 175 year prison sentence. students are just fight rests in the hands of you guys high court as an appeal hearing on a us extradition request. yes, on the way. and e, you orders, poland took up a 1000000 euros every single day and that it abandons a controversial reform to its school system. prompting more sorta accused brussels of blackmail ah,

log from moscow. thanks for joining us on our talking international on daniel hawkins, robi walton writes, welcome to the program. now in europe, which is in the group of an energy crisis, gas prices have started the full. the market reacted off of adding a boot and told the chief of russian gas john gas from to ratchet up gas volumes in european storage facilities. we discussed it earlier with a correspondence either petrocca. of course, the wi fi ask you once you have finished pumping gas into underground storage facilities in russia to start work on increasing the volume of gas in your underground storage facilities in europe, in austria and germany. what exactly did the russian president say to cause this plunging gas prices? well, this is how the market's work. they almost immediately reacted to the russian president's decision to make gas from the russian energy giant increased the volumes of natural

gas in its european underground storage facilities. after such facilities are filled in russia, the prices for european natural gas futures went down by 3 per cent. and the russian energy giant expects its storage facilities in russia to be filled by november the 8th. so right in less than 10 weeks, the volumes of natural gas in the european storage facilities will start growing. and this is indeed a true relief for european consumers ahead of the winter season. but perhaps more importantly, following an incredible surge and gas prices are in the last several weeks. now, during the meeting with the rushes senior government officials latimer potent once again weighed in on the roots of the energy crisis in europe. america learned

as though the situation on the european gas market remains unstable. the reasons are a decline and domestic gas production in europe and a reduction in liquefied natural gas, primarily from the united states. but they removed a significant amount from the european markets by the way, gas from replenished us and even delivered more than the americans withdrew. at the same time, the demand for gas has also grown due to a drop in energy production from renewable sources. and the closure of conventional generation facilities. obviously this is why the balance has arisen. do you see a lot of consumers in your bringing a saw of our lead for following this service news? what else we hearing from the european side on these latest updates while we're using the word relief. but the question is whether anyone in europe will actually notice the efforts on the part of russia and praise moscow form the help and the approach that it has chosen for the time being. because actually,

in the past few weeks, we've only been hearing many critical voices in the u. critical of moscow blaming russia for using it's natural gas exports as a geo political tool. some of the nations are continuing to act as the staunchest enemies of gas prom. and natural gas exports from russia, probes, investigations are being launched in particular. the european commissions competition department is currently gathering evidence to see if gas suppliers are manipulating the market during the energy crisis. they're not specifically mentioning gas from, but it's clear what they're driving at. only recently, poland coal on the european commission to open an investigation and to whether gas prom broke 80 rules in failing to make extra gas volumes available on the spot

markets. but there you have a lot more prudent has sent a clear message. the volumes of the european storage facilities will be boosted with russian natural gas. the prices have fallen. busy and perhaps at this point, it will simply be unfair towards russia to fail to notice that these efforts on the part of moscow or otherwise that can all be explained through pure politics. less than half of americans and are confident, nevada ministration, getting sure, a quick post fund amaco recovery and fresh polling suggest democrats in particular are losing faith with me now is out. he's caleb moltin. caleb bank sustain cross the stories that i just thought us more about what the ssl means for job one. our biden has had yet another drop in approval ratings. things are not going good for the president of the united states. this point,

it's democrats who are starting to lose faith in biden, with an already significantly low rating among republicans. now. there is approval in his role out of the vaccines. there seems to be folks who think he's doing a decent job with that. but the poll authors say that that's actually a matter of messaging by the government. the problem is not the unlocks native. the problem is convincing. those who are vaccinated that they have the tools to navigate to coven world, and reassuring those who have been vaccinated, that they can live a normal life again. now growth in the 3rd quarter of this year will be 4 points lower than the 2nd quarter, which was already pretty painful for many working families throughout the united states. furthermore, we have a situation with problems in the supply chain empty shelves throughout the country

store is not having the goods that people are expecting to buy. this is a serious concern is we're heading close to the holiday season. and at this point, many people here joe biden hailing an economic recovery. they hear those words with a little bit of skepticism. with both covert 19 cases and unemployment claims declining. it is clearer than ever that america is in the midst of an historic economic recovery. when that continues to lead the world. now these are the 2nd worst approval ratings for a president at this time and his presidency then have ever been recorded in the history of polling. and this point, only once before, has there been a president who was doing this badly a year into their presidency round the time of now this is a bad bad pull number for an incoming president. furthermore, it's important to point out that democrats are concerned about how this may harm

them when it comes to the mid term elections. that'll be happening soon. all democrats should be more alarmed by the drop and the president's approval rating. since rancorous debate has broken out over his post american rescue plan agenda, the work of defeating coven and ensuring our recovery isn't done. and that is simply where governing and political focus needs to be. despite his bright words, it appears that biden has a lot still to accomplish. if he's going to convince the united states of america that they have recovered to ortiz caleb open that with the latest. thanks for that up prison. we can sound as a son's, find himself back in court today or the day to extradition hearing gets on the way in the u. k. cord is considering an appeal by the u. s. i over january ruling to block that blows at tradition. he's one of my washington and a 17 challenges of espionage and one of the conspiracy to hack

a government computer is convicted. he could face a prison sentence of 175 years. the i will hearing, has wrapped up for today, and the 2nd day of the proceeding is coming tomorrow. today's been marked by mass radi outside the cool building with schools in the morning, june assault is free and expressing a strong concern over the los health. earlier ortiz shot it was dash the father of watermark outside the court with journalists, richard met us to follow the stream of the hearing. also, reporting from vienna. today we had the 1st day of the appeal hearing the high court. and so the united states, what they've been trying to do today in court is very much what they did last year, which is try and destroy the medical test. so many of the key medical expert professor compliment, who's a renowned euro psychiatrist the world over,

and they're trying to chip away his credibility because he did not disclose the identity of sanchez partner and sell the morrison that they had had 2 children. which of course, is a very reasonable thing to have done. even the judge agreed with this, given the fact that the, as we, as we've just seen, was at least considering kidnapping or killing him inside the ecuadorian embassy. so you're not out of concern for the family safety. this is a minor detail that professor compliment had left out, but it doesn't take anything away from his medical testimony about us on just well being. nevertheless, the prosecution is making this a very, a big point of contention. they're trying to attack his integrity, his honesty, as an expert witness to the court. they're saying he abdicated his duty to the truth and that his, his testimony does not give an accurate representation of a san jose health. and then of course, they're trying to attack the diagnosis. the united states prosecution are saying that a song does not have a heightened suicide risk, that he is able to control an impulse to commit suicide and that he's perfectly fit

to be extradited. which of course, you know, it's very, very much cherry picking, which is what they've been doing. they've been going through the testimony that we heard at the old bailey last year and cherry picking pieces out to make it look like a song just fit. but this is categorically untrue, and they've been trying to contest the to so that depression diagnosis and as well as the asperger's the where just diagnosis is important because in combination with depression, it gives the heightened suicide risk, but even without asperger's, assange would still be at risk of suicide if extradited to the united states. so, you know, they're, they're misleading the court in many ways about this. and they're essentially putting julian assigned to mental health on trial. and it, you know, for us, for journalists who are watching the court were sitting as we could see the drilling a song just not well, you know, any one of us, if we be, if we have been persecuted like that for 10 years, we would also be unwell, so there is a real risk of, of suicide here for united states, extradite him, which they're trying to downplay in court. soviet about today, washington to tend to over time, that decision not to expedite uranus on to the united states. but actually many

people here in central london have been defending jude in the son standing in solidarity with him for some 10 hours throughout the day. here today, but also we've had from some key players within the campaign as well, who say that they will not stop campaigning until june. the songs is free. oh, wait, a missed fall, love to visit the 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 freed. we had from sell

a martin, a very emotional and terry response from her today. she actually said she was taken back by just how then he was including today in the court room and she serve. if he is extradited to the united states, he simply will not survive and is tantamount to killing him to. of course, why he has enjoyed the last near decade now has been absolutely grueling. we only have to look back to his time in london's ecuadorian embassy, where he was there for nearly 2 and a half 1000 days, which equates for around 7 years when he was seeking a political asylum. he was then dramatic. j. r holz out by british police back in april of 20 and 19 and flung into bel marsh prison, which is of course, the united king's most notorious prison. for many people outside the port room, say that unit font is actually being made. an example of this is all about setting a precedent, so the other journalists don't follow suit. and some people i would argue like

those in the heads of sage or in certain organizations potentially like the cia latest. hi, janice holland is a terrorist of these people. these point us is outside the courtroom today. they hail him as a hero, a brief call to interview. i'll be general if you submitted a very serious a bank to brighten. you get job, what are you a true, how to support the u. s. of now with no a p gets the decision dated january with the fact that the united states can reach their long harm out into the world. that journal in that is not even an american has never worked in the united states and charge or try to charge him with

a u. s. called we trust. they think they, they talk about a year. but if he's actually dodge it, they will kill it effectively. so that's absolutely legal leverage, but june assange continues to protest, his hair standing shoulder to shoulder. would you know, sancho have done so for the last decade today, we had some really powerful words again from stella morris and she says that his rights are our rights and if he loses a, we old lose a not really touch that. the crux of this poor cases, far beyond the story of one man is far beyond the story of hearing. the sergeant asked for many is about the fundamental tenants and principles of the rights to

express yourself, the rights to publish and the rights to gain access to journalism. we heard from margaret beaver, say g b in australia. she has a song, she's at risk of indefinite imprisonment, something that will only worsen his health. julian been in belmont between half his he's a non violent person in a really tough environment. if the verdict against him, what's already happened and damage is going to just continue and get worse. i mean, he has suffered really, neil's nell. so the united nation special report on torture said that he had been psychologically tortured. he has really suffered and if it goes against him, these sort of ongoing, indefinite imprisonment will continue. and really, i was a great deal about his health outcomes, whether he would suicidally american friends, hard to believe that they can, could be even worse. and bill mash, and i think it's a really major threat to julian's mental health and his survival in some ways,

this prolonged imprisonment like imprisonment of political prisoners globally in all countries. i'm often used just steadily around the health and, and, and damage them. holland, his client crying blackmail that saw for the e order number stayed by a 1000000 euros a day and that it scraps along, wrangled over to initial reform back in july. the europe court of justice rule that poland supreme court, unless the body shop supply chain of judges argued, put the independence of the countries judicially at risk and simply ignored the rolling. one of the reasons the court says it had to get tough. vice president recalls that the members state cannot plead provisions. practice is all situations prevailing and its domestic legal order to justify failure to observe obligations arising under a new law that 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. early this month, you produce relation soured. further, when was or the court ruled polish laws had priority, or europe's the punish from mr. has warned that his country will defend it's right and will not be intimidated. 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? we what views on the dispute from former yoga labor party and p, kate hurry and from pulled muscle, former member of the european fallen erecting. just like i'm afraid you always act in a very overpowering bullying way. i mean, the amount of money is, is huge, but you know, it's the principal really matters and i'm a match and that's what the police government would be interested in. and not necessarily the actual details, even if it be, find that very,

very more my question of who actually wrong to their country. and we're finding this even in, in my own pocket, the united kingdom, more than you trying to interfere and run on. and even though it's probably not, so this is, this is nothing new from you. i just hope that the polish government i don't actually take own isn't very, very significant issue of i who actually runs the country and who controls the laws . while it's invested, michael doesn't says especially considering that the polar prime ministers argued the german coal, the spanish, the french, they will pass in the rulings regarding the primacy of the you law. yet nothing seems to happen. so in the european union, it seems that one rule for the central european countries like poland, i don't know for the rich west of european countries,

and i think it's wholly on. the whole polish disputes has split the or a p and union in many ways, how does a split it 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 opium parliament has threatened to to suit your opinion commission unless the acted before november the 2nd. so there's problems all round and this is got the, this is going to play out now for quite a long time. but it will be interesting to see how well so responds social media platforms of scrambling to prove their much better behaved. and facebook, lots of tick, tock, youtube and snapshot at testifying at the us senate hearing on child safety online . and if there's one to establish whether you control them facebook or necessary when it comes to content, moderation and privacy with the networks rivals eager to avoid similar possible

regulation. snapshot is difference. snapshot was built as an antidote to social media. tick tock is not a social network based on followers or social graph. it's not an app that people check to see what their friends are doing. you watch tick tock, you create on tick tock. it's crucial to put in place protections that allow them age appropriate access to information. we do this by investing in the partnerships technologies and policies that create safer environments that allow children to express their imagination and curiosity and in power families to create the right experiences for their children. facebook's been embroiled in one scandal after another. likely, it's been accused of everything from homing children mental health for it's for gram platform to adjust the waiting divisions in us society. facebook's whistleblower frances, how and giving evidence for the centers on how the work may have helped find the capitol hill ride in january. she was accused facebook of spreading misinformation,

hate and violence. now some of the amongst you can book and his wife, being food for harassment discrimination is almost off the ledge. they were subjected to defamatory and hyper sexual. i remarked the former employees also alleged non payment of wages. both suits name, shannon marks, bug as defendants. earlier we spoke to host the politics politics, politics podcast just enroll at young. you has its time. social media was rained in whoa, facebook has been begging to be regulated. in fact, if anybody follows american media, they have been among the biggest ad purchasers on a lot of the, the kind of institutions that people who follow american government read every day . and each and every one of them says the last time that we regulated the internet, people were buying cds and tapes said at sam goody, isn't it about time that we create new laws for the internet? they desperately would love to be regulated. more specifically,

they would desperately love to be regulated in a way where they a dominant player in the space right now would be an advantage. so they would love to have, let's say, the div safe harbor laws that we have here in america, where things can go up on facebook platform and they would then only have to remove them after they were alerted to it, as opposed to how we have things with like newspapers or television, where once it goes out the newspaper or television, a station or company would be responsible for it. in the headlines, the, you can home secretaries on approach should explain the deal between amazon and you guys, flies unsafe among the leading voices, slamming the dealers, the labor party. he won't security concerns address since top secret information is being held for us private company. these reports are deeply concerning and race serious questions about the wida security safeguards in place when it comes to the potential risks of outsourcing critical elements of

u. k. national security infrastructure to non u. k based companies, amazon landa lucrative contracts with government communications headquarters and my 5. i know my 6 for the use of its cloud system. calling to report the dealers for easier spot communications and making greater use of artificial intelligence. in return for the tech, amazon gets 1000000000 pounds over the next 10 years. now the u. k. government intelligence agencies and amazon are yet to comment on this contract that we spoke earlier to professor premier sicker who says it would be a struggle, told amazon to account if anything did go wrong. this relationship is essentially caruso because they do have divergent interest. this would mean that the security services are not in control is a private for profit seeking organization. it will have a basically all the intelligence material. and suppose the servers are down. suppose the servers are hacked,

then what will the security services even be told that the amazon, the servers that have been hack? and though without really any explanation in parliament, there's been no discussion about it. we can see the government contract, we don't know the terms. we don't even know the full amount. we only have some belief reports or the press. there are widespread concerns of the government has so far not come forward has not promised any statement to parliament. no minister has actually made a statement and we are still awaiting. and i am pretty sure that fairly soon, the defense committees and both houses security committees and both houses of parliament will be asking serious questions, especially as so father ministers are not really been forthcoming with any anything worthwhile in the u. k. any report says the government's fail with it's an h. s. trade or testing trace program unveiled as a cobra, conduct phrasing system. it's alleged the main objective of curbing cove. it was

not achieved. and a chest test and trace has been one of the most expensive health programs delivered in the pandemic. haven't been allocated, and i watering 37000000000 pounds over 2 years. he has focused on delivering programs, but outcomes have been muddled. and a number of it's professed ames have been over stated or not achieved. and a chess test and traces continued over alliance and consultants is likely to cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds. test and trace was lot, 2 years ago and cost put in the equivalent to 20 percent of the annual budget programs. flagship tracing system is an app which uses if they come into prolonged contact with someone infected with cobra. it's advisors, but not legally obliged to self isolate for 10 days, partially admitting that some functions, the u. k. stood insist that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages from dr. john pontus, they pediatrician who believes the government hasn't learned from past mistakes and

that test and trace is no exception. i think they'll keep some of the money at it and say no, no, everything is fine. the commons accounts committee is go to rome. the select committee is go to rome and they just carry on burying their head in the sand, which is basically a kind of common characteristics that run through the government. thinking that if you throw money private companies, you're going to get something that's expected and they should have learned by now. since you know the case, they should have invested in n h s. laboratory, the names local public health team. these are the kinds of things which people have been saying for a month now, very little evidence they've done that. when has gone from having one of the lowest gun crime rates in europe to one of the highest over the past 2 decades. and the following, the recent high profile, killing of a 19 year old rock called ana,

several politicians and 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, our quiet action is needed. where many who mourn who have had enough of the senseless violence and want to see again crime fought or sweden's gun von of rights have been on the rise since 2013. the majority of fatal shootings have been linked to organized crime. the country's annual gun homicide rate is much higher in relation to other european countries. now a group of politicians have submitted a $34.00 point plan to the government aimed at com. i think gun crime at the heart of the program lay efforts to both that security. one measure being undertaken is

to recruit an extra 10000 offices by 2024 or m p 10 tex roth. believe sweden still leaves major changes the reverse to our last 2 week against organized crime. punishments are to lean. 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 gangs, we need a special penal code to fight criminal gangs that i propose 10 years ago. but no one listened back them and the government current and the former government, they're doing minor changes, but those changes doesn't matter. the headlines for this our up next. all he don't

commentary examines the challenges of the us health care system. while you can, you can catch up with the latest episode of boom, bust the team and about can often with the latest join us again that ah ah, [000:00:00;00] lose
