ah ah, supporters have joined us on a claim, washington promised to allow him to serve his sentence in his homeland australia should not be trusted. that's as the case, high court deliberates on whether to hand him over to the americans today. high profile figures have spoken in support of the whistleblower. he would spend the rest of it a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that with no crime? i've been telling a will the truth is solution to the energy crisis. this and other big issues have been discussed at an economic form in the italian c, verona where prominent future shaping voices from europe and asia are getting together. facebook no more as mark zuckerberg enough is meta is the new

name of his company. and in the past bid to distance it from the embattled social media giant. the deadline passes for new york city is the central workers to choose between getting vaccinated or losing their pe. ultimatum has seen the mayor's residence besieged by protesters. an awkward moment at the g 20 as joe biden meets emanuel micron for the 1st time after the u. s. stab to france in the back over nuclear submarine deal. we deal with a lot of grace and the new parliament pursuing the european commission for failing to hold accountable. those member states who defy the blocks rule of law. that as the polish foreign ministry summoned the belgian ambassador over the country's criticism of warsaw his approach to it's a legal dispute with brussels. ah,

are we broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow? this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. i know the deadline for new york's a central workers to get vaccinated has passed. anyone without the job will be forced to go on unpaid leave. and the mandate has proven to be extremely divisive. ah, ah ah, during some of the rowdy protests that we've seen, garbage was even thrown on to the lawn of the mayor's residence. and it appears that as a result of this mandate, new york city could soon be losing one in 5 that's 20 percent of its fire

departments due to firefighters. not getting the jap, i don't think the mayor understands what's going to happen on november. first. there is going to be a catastrophic staring shortage if $3500.00 firefighters that are currently on vaccinated or told to not go to war. so this, this city is going to look very different on november 1st, when the mayor is forced to it with the mayor is gonna force firefighters to knock it on the rigs. you're going to see dozens and dozens of bar houses close. you're going to see response times corn. it is inevitable, lives are going to be lost. that is irrefutable. it's not only at the mayor's residence, we're seeing garbage pile up, but it's also out on the streets. sanitation workers have been missing their shifts . now, at this point, neither the new york city department of sanitation nor the mayor will confirm whether or not these slowdowns are related to the mandates. here is what the mayor said regarding workers missing their shifts. anyone who is not doing their job,

you are harming your fellow sanitation workers, and you're harming your neighbors and you're harming your city. and it's time to stop. despite thousands of people refusing to get vaccinated in protests against the mandates, the world health organization is pretty firm. they say mass vaccinations are necessary to stop the pandemic and protect public health vaccine save millions of lives each year. vaccines work by training and preparing the body's natural defenses, the immune system to recognise and fight off the viruses. but there are thousands of new york city's essential workers, police officers, firefighters, sanitation workers, teachers, and others who simply do not agree with the world health organization and are unhappy about this mandate. earlier we spoke with police officer zeek arkham, who thinks essential workers shouldn't be forced to choose between paying the bills and getting the vaccine. i think getting this vaccine should be a personal decision. it should be the decision you make with, you know, medical professional. i don't think of mandy vaccine where the government is,

is ordering you to choose between your personal freedom and liberty and providing a living for yourself and keeping your food, keeping food on your table. keeping a roof over your head should come into conflict. i think it's a huge overreach, i think, is extremely unfair. we can still keep this in the safe and go about our business with medical freedom and medical choice. at the same time. you know, people are that depend on the police force to keep us safe, whether it's new york, chicago, l, a or any place else we have these mandates going on. are going to feel the difference in the communities and crime goes up and looking for police officer and they can find, well, you can see exactly where the slope is taking us. they started with the military. they moved on to nurses, now they're moving on. so 1st responders is only going to get worse from their washington is booting out another $55.00 russian diplomatic staff. they have been

ordered to leave their consulates in the u. s. in the coming months, russia foreign ministry says the move will only worsen relations further. it's urging the us to turn to constructive dialogue instead. this stubborn minded bed again, one sided advantage is a dead end road for us. for every hostile us action, we'll respond promptly and proportionately, though not necessarily symmetrically. once again, we urge a hold her escalation and a start to substantial, honest and mutually respectful, dialog on all existing irritants in our bilateral relations. over a 100 russian diplomatic staff, along with their families, have been expelled by the u. s. since late 2016 in 2017, the russian consulate in san francisco and offices in new york and washington were close. that ended russia diplomatic presence on the west coast. according to russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. there are currently just under 200 russian

mission members working in the us with some 130 american diplomats working in russia. the u. s. is demanding more visas, be granted, or it will have to end most of its moscow embassies functions. author and historian, job horton thinks it's an attempt by washington to rein in russia. washington feels that it's losing control. whatever control that exercise, post 1991. there's a lot of hysteria in the united states right now, principally about china. and there is a perception that washington will not be able to confront beijing successfully without moscow on sy, law for moscow refuses to play ball muscle, therefore, united states, and it's engaging. and what's referred to as coercive diplomacy, there's also hysteria in washington about moscow's so suppose that purported domination of the natural gas market. and so this is also connected to the fact that the united states would like to dominate natural gas exports to

western europe. and likewise, there is a story about russia's reluctance to break ties with cuba, 90 miles from the shores of the united states. washington still would like to strangle that regime. we know from history when washington feels that it's losing control, it tends to strike out blindly. and that would be quite dangerous because russia is able to match washington militarily. and so we're at a very dangerous turning point, i'm afraid to say in world history. joe biden has met with his friends counterpart in italy. it is their 1st meeting since washington outraged paris by going behind its back over a submarine deal with australia. their talks come ahead of the larger g 20 gathering and rome on saturday parties. peter oliver reports on his way to europe for the series of meetings that he has us president joe biden was asked,

will you be apologizing to french president emanuel mack on he did say, well, we've already talked about that, suggesting that perhaps of being done in the over the phone conversations, this was the 1st face to face meeting, and what we heard from joe biden was that the united states, in his opinion, had acted without grace when it came to squeezing fronts. out of a submarine deal with australia we deemed was clumsy with a lot of grace. i was under the impression that france happened to form long before you was not going to my arms. oh me, things conducted in a real badness. fear of reconciliation between paris in washington biden and micron . and what we did see was a little moment between the 2 when they, they were shaking hands and lots of thank you. don't have thank use from the 2 presidents with you. well,

i thank you. well, all of the awkwardness came about because of orchestra. that's the, the defense package that was set up between australia, the united kingdom and the united states, ultimate lead by signing up to orcus. what happened was that deal that was already in place between australia in front and fronts for the delivery of submarines. well that ended up being torpedoed. setting the french coffee around back around 55000000000 euro. that's how much they were standing to make from the deal that was sculptured by the united states to australia and the u. k. coming together for august, what i did was prompt some, bob's comments backwards and forwards from the 3 people signing the defense pox. they were all about joining together in unity and it all of its spicy going the other way towards those fathers from paris today were take another historic step to

deepen and formalize cooperation among all 3 of our nation's, the u. k. australia and the u. s. will be joined even more closely together, reflecting the measure of trust between us pitany nom de, hip you. it's a huge disappointment, especially since 5 years of hard work went into this to ensure the proper implementation and smith running of this major contract. the contract was to fulfill australia's request for a 12 conventional attack submarines to reiterate, there was they request says trailer has gone back on his word and changed his needs . the thought to now you are an alliance means transparency. it means predictability. it means clarification. it means talking to each other, not hiding, especially on a central issues. so all this is not been forthcoming and we will have to talk about it. why wasn't forthcoming? it was quite the day for both presidents before this meeting at the french embassy

in the vatican for a manual marconas. the news coming out of france concerning a disgraced right wing, been politician who's accused of having being behind, trying to organize a cou to overthrow a manual market. now his lawyers and his team deny everything that's being leveled against him, but the claims that were made in leprosy on newspaper a this, well, a former am serving members of the police force, the gendarmerie, and the armed forces were all involved in this attempt to overthrow the government under the name of the code name of operation azul, where it was a much more sedate day for joe biden. the american president met earlier on friday with the pope, with pope francis in the vatican. sure to be a big day for what is only the 2nd roman catholic president of the united states to sit down with the leader of the catholic faith. now it didn't go exactly as

president biden had anticipated, though certainly as his team, it anticipated, or even as the media had thought it would go off, it was supposed to be a big live event with the whole re thing. the whole state visit televised as well. as journalists being allowed to stay remarks throughout the whole and tessa tete between the president and the pope. however, at the very last minute the holy c changed the plans. in fact, the vatican said that there was going to be no live broadcast from the event. journalists. busy would only be allowed to attend very limited parts of the me thing a caught everybody on the hop really including the news wire, add a p. we can have a listen to what they had to say. now, the vatican on thursday abruptly canceled the planned live broadcast of us president j bite and meeting pipe francis. the live broadcast have biden's friday visit was trimmed to cover just the arrival of the president's motorcade in the courtyard of the apostolic palace. while the awkwardness over all his may not have

gone entirely following this meeting, but it does seem that reconciliation is the watchword between emanuel michael and joe biden. following their meeting at the french embassy in the vatican on friday, plenty more to combo. throughout the g. 20 over saturday and sunday i'll be here in italy, bring you all. busy of the latest here in our fi be in fighting within the ear shows no sign of relenting the blocks. parliament is suing the european commission for failing to trigger a special tool that cause funding to countries undermining the supremacy of you law . oh hi. on the european parliament agenda in this legal battle is taking action on poland. warsaw angered the block over its judicial reforms which undermined the supremacy of e e. e. law. poland, in turn, has threatened to go to great lengths. if the withhold funds, it has even summoned belgium's ambassador to poland after warsaw was accused of playing with fire. you are playing a dangerous game, you are playing with fire when waging war with your european colleagues for

internal political reasons. one of the points of contention centers on the disciplinary chamber of poland supreme court, the body which has been mandated, the power to discipline judges. the you argues it is being used as a tool to pressure judges to rule in favor of the governing authorities and has demanded the country to undo the chamber, recent reforms and poland, which rule its laws supreme over that of the you added another layer to the ongoing conflict concerning for warsaw is covered, 1900 recovery funds earmarked for it which are now in limbo. the european commission now under added pressure from parliament may free them if poland doesn't . you turn on judicial reforms that use top court has recently slapped fines of $1000000.00 euros per day on warsaw for failing to obey. warsaw has accused the block of using financial penalties as blackmail. those unusual to poland,

come not and should not pay a single law to protect. we will not allow poland to be treated as a colony. as a 3rd will country. we are not a banana republic, and this should be realized by politicians of the pain commission. poland is also refusing to pay another fine, $500000.00 euros a day for operating an open pit coal mine close to the countries border with the check republican germany. the court ordered its closure after a lawsuit brought by prague, which has environmental concerns. poland rejects the decision, and the case is expected to go back to the court in november. we got reaction to the latest developments from political commentator john brief month. yes, so much of the vision that he got to work as a democracy. democracy must have some come and therefore he doesn't work as the democrats, he does, i should be talking about 36000000000. that's 36000 the media. ok. and the define is 1000000 bill, the so a lot of managing 36000. okay. so they can afford it to be using the

friends that they get. and you can, of course, we told us firms and then of course for them to be, i mean, so the vision people for us is not in favor of you. but if you've been bose, is a changing these domestic polar bodies, so that the bows hold. but we told it was fun, going to produce morris and runs. well, suppose me just because the money that you know, if you make a trip to somebody and he's going to give you the money to westland, because of that you're going to produce more on the 14th you ration economic form wrapped up in the italian city of varone on friday, over today's industry, leaders and to political heavy weights discussed some of the world's most pressing economic and political issues. this year's theme, it was the shift towards a more human centered economy. more than 80 speakers attended event covering topics

from sustainable development to global diplomacy, as well as the formation of a greater duration. economic block, michael schuman, chairman of the german association for economic development, told us that cause cooperation is the only way of overcoming the challenges facing the world today. i think we need to, to distinguish between the political rhetoric on the one hand and the, the business, an entrepreneurial community on the other. and unfortunately, we are witnessing in europe and in germany, a widening gap between the 2. when i talk to under printers, when i to, to, to our constituency. i hear that there is a lot of interest in cooperating always rusher and bettering the relations with russia. if i listen to the european parliament it's, it's quite the opposite. i think we need to, to overcome the geopolitical confrontation because we're

a phased with challenges on a global scale that only can be overcome when we start entering into the real dialogue and the economic hardships that we're facing will teach everyone. let's look at the current energy crisis. look at the content before we're look at the climate change, we're facing challenges and such a global, unprecedented scale that there's no alternative to better cooperation. defined the police movement who's flag the us democrats, bore high seems to be losing steam amid a surgeon violent crimes across the states. over the last year. ever more americans are demanding more be spent on bolstering the force. we heard views from the northeast to the southwest. i just felt very unsafe, lynn, when there was like a lot of people saying that they should defend the place. and i think with more

please funding they can get better training and protect us better. do me more police to get things on the criminal deduction, where cron wave is reduced down to one percent. we need crime to fade away. we need peaceful days for you and him and me to walk down the street. prime rating definitely went up. i know it has this down and we need our beliefs of a certain times of the day. it's a no man's land a. we definitely need more for more law enforcement on the streets. i want to follow the police force or whether the money is going towards their training or more fe. doesn't matter. a new poll has found that there has been an increase of 14 percent in those wanting extra police funds compared with last year when the nation was rocked by racial injustice and police brutality undermining trust in law

enforcement. but the mood has changed, which start figures from the national center for health statistics showing violent crime in the u. s. is that a ties point in modern history? now americans are clearly worried by this with polling in july showing that more than 60 percent of the violent crime as a major issue that's up significantly from 3 months earlier. the, the fund, the police movement gained trash and after the police killing of george floyd last year, as the name suggests, it wants public money directed away from law enforcement to things like education and social services. we discussed its relevance with a retired new york police detective the people that are calling to, to get rid of the police or the fun. the police have stopped the rhetoric or the rhetoric. rhetoric has slowed down because they see that the police are actually needed to be up kicking crime around the country. especially in democrat run cities is out of control. most of the politicians who are calling for the fun,

the police are doing you for political gain, they're doing it to get folks. they're doing it to empathize with criminals and those who love them. and when you make friends with criminals, when you make friends with criminals, you make enemies up, your police. the police can't do the jobs effectively. one of the community and the community can live and prosper well without the help of the police. so it has to be both ways government has to encourage this. they have to increase funding, federal funding for police departments to get better training and better equipment . and to continue to attack this rise of crime across the country. top scientists are warding that france's health care system will collapse if faced with another wave of the pandemic. even if it's a less intense one. health officials have confirmed that cove it is once again gaining ground in the country. we spoke to a nursing union rep about how bad it has gotten to some ne,

win the very difficult situation where concerned about the approach and winston, besides covered there are also the usual academics such as influenza and bronchitis . and we are all ready stretched for the 1st time, and now history would didn't manage the free and not bad to allow staff to go on holiday in july in august. the government does not fond hospitals sufficiently and cost jobs to save money. well, very concerned to clean the 1st. to make matters worse, french hospitals are suffering from staff shortages according to one study. this has meant one in 5 free beds can't actually be taken up by patients. frances health care minister, though challenges that claim. i will challenge that 20 percent figure the latest data i have says 5 percent of bats are temporarily unavailable. i have ordered a comprehensive study of the sedation. french nurses though say the shortage is the government's fault. i see it's the government that's to blame for the shortage of

medical personnel. france is the only country in the world that has been cutting funding during the pandemic. medical staff are outraged by this and ready to quit obit because they want no part of it since june. that's been away from dr. sumner squirting. they exhausted, fighting the pandemic while also looking after those with chronic diseases. and so this a circle, the great to the workload, the great of the pressure, and the more dr. squid rates and even more work for those left. the human rights lawyer who spent decades battling chevron over pollution in the amazon rain forest has started his 6th month sentence for criminal contempt charges resulting from a lawsuit brought against him by the oil giant. earlier this month, stephen danziger was found guilty of wilfully defying court orders, including by failing to turn over his computer and other electronic devices. danziger himself has called the court's decision and embarrassment for reflection of the united states. i think it's embarrassing our country that we are now

becoming one of those places that locks out. this is the latest twist and the legal saga that started back in 1993. when danziger sued the chevron corporation on behalf of $30000.00 indigenous people in ecuador for oil spills in the region, one a $9500000000.00 judgment against chevron in an ecuador in court, in 2011. however, 3 years later, a u. s. judge deemed the ruling invalid. chevron also countersuit danziger, claiming that he had fabricated evidence, danziger was ordered to turn over electronic devices to the companies forensic experts and later charged with criminal contempt over his refusal to do so. we spoke to independent journalist greg wilbert, who thinks the whole saga looks to stop people taking on big business, has been prosecuted to the maximum by

a very unfair system that has been trying to silence. and basically the if you look at the details of the case, there's a number of irregularities such as the bias of the judge. he used to be a chevron judge and not only danziger, but everybody who was involved in the case in one way or another had been persecuted really by chevron, including a filmmaker, joe berlin, jeff, for example, who had made a documentary about it. i think that's what the case was really ultimately all about was to provide for a chilling effect to prevent people from going after a corporation such as chevron. because with the idea that chevron would ruin their lives essentially. and that's basically what has happened . and so of course, this makes it much more than much less likely in the future that is the case against dungeon or damage or makes it nothing much less likely that in the future other people will be willing to take on a corporation. and so it's going to be very difficult. i think the,

let's go brendan mean, birth does a censorship prove anti biden heckle is blowing up in the u. s. with chance at sports games puppets and a huge star online. those like this. right. the last thing. c the the mean started after a reporter who is conducting a tv interview with racing car driver, brandon brown brushed office, wary and tied by chance from the crowd as let's go. brandon caching in on the incident, republicans and others opposing biden. now use the phrase as a daytime friendly, hey, of slamming the president and to mark media for ignoring any anti button discourse

. almost 60 percent of americans now say that they are familiar with the chant, but it is definitely best known in republican circles. 3 quarters there, claim to know it, while only under half of democrats to others are somewhere in between. the white house, though, apparently as not got the focused. i had never heard of that, john until he explained it to me. i guess i'm not spending enough time on h, on or whatever really, we discussed americans disappointment in president biden, with political commentator, wayne ellen route. american people have lost all faith in him. he's destroying the country. he's left the border open, were being invaded by millions of people who do not have good intentions. it's, it's insane at the very moment of a cobra plan. democrats, he's open the borders and let all these people in by that a lot of trouble. his presidency is going down like the hindenberg, or like the titanic is drowning. so america is in full, open, revolted,

this voice americans are pushing back in every single sporting event that you watch on tv. the crowd is chanting either f joe biden or, and they're using a full word or let's go brandon, which means f joe biden. everything we believe in is being destroyed by joe, by. i, that does me. i will be back with your headlines and we'll take 30 minutes watching our 10 traditional glad to have with us the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me ah

or come to so feca visionaries may sophie shevardnadze, raising sea levels. cities covered with smog, hurricanes, and storms. wrecking havoc or climate change is an issue of our own making that could soon be felt in every corner of the planet. can we reverse it or is it too late? i asked professor martin sigurd glassy, ologist and co director of the grant. the men stood for climate change and imperial college london. martin sigurd, welcome to the cher. it's really great to have you with us. so martin, most of us agree that the climate is indeed changing and it isn't a hoax and that things are going to get worse.
