life from oscar. you're watching on scene to national with me. you lash allah! hello, and welcome to the program. fast in europe, which is in the grip of an energy crisis. gas prices have started to fall. the market react had us have led him repairs and told the trip on russian gas, john gas braun, to ratchet up gas williams. in european shorter storage facilities. earlier, my colleague daniel hawkins and ilia trendkite, discuss what the russian president had to say. 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 it's 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. in the last several weeks now, during that meeting with the rushes senior government officials of latimer potent

once again weighed in on the roots of the energy crisis in europe. and i got a notice as though the situation on the european gas market remains unstable. the reasons are a decline in 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, gasped 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 islands has risen. you will see numerous, lot of consumers and you bring the saw relief following this. the best news, what else to be hearing from the europe inside on the 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 critical of moscow blaming russia for using its 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 problem, but it's clear what they're driving at. only recently, poland coal on the european commission to open an investigation into whether gas

prom broke 80 rules in failing to make extra gas volumes available on the spot markets. but there you have a lot of recruiting has sent a clear message. the volumes that the european storage facilities will be boosted with russia natural gas. the prices have fallen. busy and perhaps, at this point, it will simply be unfair towards russia to fail to notice these efforts on the part of moscow or otherwise they can all be explained through pure politics. and with folk review or pain parliament members, maximillian crime, who told us that burling and brussels should take responsibility for the spike and enterprises. true, it shows the cold warriors we have that they are just wrong. so it gives people like me was always the business of supporting all stream to and who tried to explain that to me,

we need it desperately for economic reasons. and then there is no reason to russia that would be the right. the left wing media trying to portray russia as war with the russians that was possible for high energy prices and with the ship. we see today this story is proven wrong though from now on. we know this for rising energy prices for russia, russia even willing to deliver more gas. and then the contract obliged to do shrew forces that are responsible for, for increasing energy prices and this for, for inflation. there are not sitting in moscow, but sitting in berlin and less than half of america and our confidence that divided administration can ensure a quick postpone demik economic recovery and fresh polling st. john's democrats,

in particular, on losing faith. his also is caleb morgan, with the story joe biden is facing yet another drop in approval ratings. this time, democrats are starting to approve of the administration last with already significantly low approval among republicans and independence. now it's also important to note that in one area, which is the rolling out of the vaccine, the biden administration does seem to be winning some approval and appreciation from the us public. the poles, authors say this is a matter of messaging by the government. the problem is not the max native, the problem is convincing. those who are native 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. now, the biden administration seems to hold onto the idea that this is a recovery, despite acknowledging some pretty serious problems in the economy. with both covered 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 leave the world, that didn't prevent joe biden from having the 2nd lowest approval ratings this far into his presidency. since those approval rating numbers were actually taken. and at this point, democrats are concerned about how this could affect the mid term vote, which is upcoming. all democrats should be more alarmed by the drop and the president's approval rating since a rancorous debate has broken out over his post american rescue plan agenda. the

work of defeating coven and ensuring recovery isn't done, and that is simply where governing and political focus needs to be. it appears that joe biden still has a lot to do if he's going to convince the u. s. public that the nation is really recovering. in prison, we can lease found, and children assange has found himself bank in court as a 2 day expedition hearing is being held in the u. k. the high court is considering an appeal by the us over at january ruling to blow the whistle blow as extradition . his wanted by washington on 17 chargers of espionage and one on conspiracy to hack a government computer. if convicted, he could face a prison sentence, a 100 and sent it 75 years a way.

so the 2nd down, the proceeding will be held on says j yesterday was marked by a mass ronnie outside the court building with schools of protests is demanding them through an assumption is freed and expressing strong concerns over the whistleblower health and assurity. it was done, she filed a report from outside the court, lead about to day washington's attempt to overturn 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 us on standing in solidarity with him to some 10 hours throughout the day here today. but also we've heard from some key players within the campaign as well, who say that they will not stop campaigning until june. the song is free. oh, we don't have a

just follow up with 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 teary 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 it's time to mount to killing him too. 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 that the nearly 2 and a half 1000 days,

which are quite for around 7 years when he was seeking a political asylum. he was then dramatic. j. r holds out by british police back in april of 20 and 19 and flung into bel marsh prison, which is of course, the united kingdom'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 the 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 break. you get a job, a truth,

how to support you as of now with a pretty good decision dated january with the fact that the united states can reach their how long are you 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 basically they say, well, you know what, a, you know, it's just a u. s. called the trust. they think they say they talk about the fees, the extra died, it should work for you so fair. but if he's extra dodge it, they will kill it effectively. so this absolute legal labrons, the june massage, continues to play, has his hair standing shoulder to shoulder. would shoot in

a song could 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, we old lose, and not really touched the crux of this poor cases. far beyond the story of one man is far beyond the story of june. 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. and we had found that now grant babies jew paying in australia, she says a sound is at risk of indefinite imprisonment, something that would only western his health. julian's been in bel much 5, a 2 and a half years. 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 meals, meltzer,

the united nations special report on torture, said that he had been psychologically tortured, he has really, ah, suffered. and if it goes against him, the 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 from poland as crying black nail after thee ordered its members stay to pay a 1000000 years a day until his crops alone. wrangell, do that traditional reform. so back in july and the european court of justice rule that poland supreme court must and polish

a disciplinary train of judges. arguing that it put the independence of the country's interest at risk. paula has simply ignored the ruling. one of the reasons the court has had to get tough. the vice president recalls that a member state cannot trade provisions practices or situations prevailing in its domestic legal order to justify failure to observe obligations arising under you. 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. so earlier this month, you polish relations soured. farther when warsaw has top court ruled that polish laws have priority over europe's napoleon, prime minister has one that he's country will defend its rights 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. and we gotten, he's on the dispute from former u. k. labor policy and pay kate hurry. and from poll natara, former member of the european parliament, they're acting just like, i'm afraid you always act in a very overpowering bullying way. i mean, the amount of money is it's huge, but you know, it's the principal really that matters. and i imagine that that's what the police government would be interested in, and not necessarily the actual details, even if, if we 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, kingdom, more than you trying to interfere and run a lot of even though it's so this is, this is nothing new to you. i just hope that the polish government i don't actually

take on what isn't very, very significant issue of i who actually runs the country and who controls the law as well as investors especially considering that the polish prime ministers argued the german coal, the spanish, the french they will pass in the rulings regarding the privacy of the law, yet nothing seems to happen. so when the europe and union, it seems that because one rule for the east, central european countries like bowling, i don't know for the rich west of european countries. i think it's wholly on the whole polish disputes of split the p and union in many ways. well, there's a split that amongst the capitals, but also there's a split amongst us petitions. 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

european parliament has threatened to to suit your opinion commission unless i acted before november the 2nd. so there's problems all round on this is got the, this is going to play out now for quite a long time, but it will be interesting to see how also responds to show me the platforms are crumbling, to prove they're much better behaved on facebook, the likes of take talk he tube on snapshot and testifying of the us senate hearing on a child's safety online. hence has gone to establish whether new controls on facebook unnecessary when it comes to content, moderation and privacy. the networks wible eager to avoid similar possible regulation. snapshot is difference. snapshot was built as an antidote to social media. take talk 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 has been embroiled and once candle after another lately. it's been accused of everything from harming children's mental health wise instagram platform, exacerbating divisions in us to size. he was phase with whistle blow. frances, how can giving evidence to the senate on how the network may have helped find the capitol hill right and january shawl. so keep facebook of spreading misinformation hate and violence and on top of that knock is look about and his wife are being sued for harassment and discrimination. his former staff alleged they were

subjected to family tree and type of sexualized remarks to form. and please also alleged non payment of wages by suits named john and mark as it took about the defendants. and earlier we spoke to host of the pod cast about politics. justin, robert young, who says it's time social media was rained in well, 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 tape said at sam goody, isn't it about time that we create new laws for the internet? they desperately would love to be regulated. it's 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. think a hum, secretaries and depression to explain the deal between amazon and g k spy agencies among the leasing voices slamming continue. is the labor policy? it won't security concerns and trust as since top secret information is being used by is being held by us private company. these reports are deeply concerning and raise serious questions about the widest 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. so analysts in london and lucrative contract with government communications headquarters and i 5 and, and i sakes for the use of its class system. according to reports, the deal is for easiest pike communications and making great ease of the artificial intelligence. in return for the attack, amazon gets 1000000000 pounds over the next 10. yes. the u. k. government, the intelligence agencies and amazon i yet to comment on this con, our contract and ela was filed to professor francisco. he says it would be a struggle to hold amazon to account if anything goes wrong. this relationship is essentially caruso because they do have divergent and trust. this would mean that the security services are not in control is a private 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 hurley soon the defense committees and both houses security committees and both buquet houses all around will be asking serious questions, especially as so father ministers have not really been forthcoming with any anything worthwhile read. in the u. k. a new reports as the government has failed, where they, it's an h, has test and trace progress unveiled as

a cult contact tracing system. it's alleged the main objective of carrying car that was not achieved. and a chest destin 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. it has focused on delivering programs, but outcomes have been muddled. and a number of its profess, ames have been over stated or not achieved. and a chest destined traces continued over lion. some consultants is likely to cause taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds pass and trace was launched 2 years ago and called britain, the equivalent of 20 percent of the and they trust annual budget. the programs flagship tracing system is an app which allows he's if they come into prolonged contact with someone infected with coded, it advises but not legally obliged them to self isolate for 10 days, though partially admitting some functions,

the u. k. still insist that the advantages way the disadvantages and were from dr. john pontus at patricia who believes the government having to learn from past mistakes on the test and trace is no exception. i think they'll keep shoveling money at it and say no, no, everything's fine. the commons accounts committee has got it wrong. the select committee has got it wrong, and they'll just carry on bearing their head in the sand, which is basically a kind of common characteristics that run through the government. thinking that if you throw money at private companies, you're going to get something that's effective. and they should have learned by now that you know the case. they should have been invested in an h. s. laboratories and in local public health teams. these are the kinds of things which people have been saying for 18 months now. very little evidence that they've done that.

and not over to kazakhstan, where a russian pro grass supplies ship has a chance, blasted out from their bike and cosmo jerome to the international space station. and here you can see footage of the launch and this is actually a bit of special mission. the spaceship as carrying festive traits, letters and surprises for the cause. when else for them to welcome ending new year . so it may seem to early to prepare for the holiday season, but this will be the last supply run until february next year. progress will dock with the i assess in 2 days time on october, the 30th and we'll stay with this station until the end of may 2020, to the progress. and this is a fully automated spacecraft that was specifically created for delivering congo to the i says and correcting it's all bit if necessary. and that thing is, and i'll say international, the sound coming up next to it's the documentary on the us health care system.

ah, so you say this statistic that 90 percent of the wild was held by 10 percent of the population and they added millions of dollars to their networking since the pandemic one would look out onto the american landscape and look at all the wonderful innovation these folks have brought people to their lives. oh wait, hold on. life expectancy is down, infant mortality is up wealth. an income gap is widening genie coefficient looks terrible. death of despair are exploding. so i think it's natural to conclude that all this money printing is not feeding. amera talk or see is back that feeding attack a stock or state rule by the least qualified one of the worst of a mess. shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy closed

a little of the real las vegas where many se elected officials are controlled by casino knows the dank is shooting, revealed what the l v p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine. most of the american public barely remembers that it happens that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic heard the most contagious contagion. there we've seen in decades, and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here is caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group to the shiny facades concealer, deepen difference to the people who buys could have been saved if they've taken action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines being in vegas is a money machine. is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost to

ah a j b i you're shaken with well, i'm gonna put alon prepared to wait. don't, don't know. i gotta get my eyes checked. i, i haven't been able to get him checked since 1982.
