10:02 am
saturday afternoon into the the evening. they would say that more definitive action needs to be taken on climate change, as opposed to the talking that's been done about tackling that particular problem. you speak to the leaders themselves, so i think they're pretty happy with what safina chief art this g 20. they're all gathered for a, a big photo off at the trevor fountain earlier on sunday, throwing coins over their shoulder into that famous landmark, hoping that that brings some looked to one particular area in which they have made a, as few steps forward. and that is on a, a global minimum level of corporation tax. now this was an initiative that was put forward by the united states am if you listen to those who are giving the full backing to the u. s. president on to joe biden, himself on from joe biden himself, of course, we've heard it hailed as a real success. here at the g. 20 lead is representing 80 percent of the world's g . d. p. allies and competitors alike made clear that support for strong global
10:03 am
minimum tax. this is more than just a tax deal. it's diplomacy reshaping our global economy and delivering for our people. while the plan is to put in place a minimum 15 percent rate of corporation tax across the globe. now the plan is by doing that, that you would an increase the rate of cooperation tax in some countries that they would then be able to use that extra revenue that's generated in order to fund social projects with the idea of pulling people out of poverty. this hasn't gone down well with everyone though skeptic say that a lonely, really benefit those nations that are already wealthy. the plan from the u. s. point of view is to raise their a corporation tax level, which already stands at around 21 percent. up to about 28 percent. critics include seeing charities and organisations looking to fight poverty and happy that this is the way forward. in fact, oxfam have called this a mockery of fairness,
10:04 am
the world is experiencing the largest increase in poverty indicates and a massive explosion inequality. but this deal will do little or nothing to hold either his dad, it is already being seen by some wealthy nations as an excuse to cut domestic corporate tax rates risk in any race to the bottom. or the j 20 seems to be ending with one su, that we thought was put to bed before it even got underway. raising its head again nuts. the, the dispute between australia, france, and the united states really over the orchestra deal. now that was the defense pockets the between australia, the united kingdom in united states. what it ultimately did that defense pack though, was it cut france out of a $66000000000.00 us dollar deal to provide submarines to australia. we saw you as president joe by meeting with frances a manual micron on friday, reconciliation the pose word all over the hatchet well and truly varied. am hon shakes? no, i'm sorry, no, i'm sorry. no, thank you. no, thank you. being offered from the 2 leaders, really, and am it now turns out though, that what was said by joe biden,
10:05 am
that he hadn't been made fully aware of exactly what was going on with the deal, might not be the case. we can now listen to what the u. s. president had to say, and what is come out from the australian prime minister. i was under the impression that phrase hadn't formed long before. that he was not going to ask it was always a difficult decision force trailer. it was the right decision force trailer and we work closely with the united states in the united kingdom and we kept them up to date the u. s. administration with well, we're at and now there's discussions with france. i seems like there still might be a little more awkwardness over orcus to comb just yet. that's the way it looks here in rome at the g. 20 it all wraps appear afternoon on sunday. i'll be bringing you any news that comes out though in most final moments. here on off the international u. k. paramedics of race phase of an unprecedented crisis facing the ambulance
10:06 am
service with one local, the palm, and even pleading with the public to think twice before calling as simply aren't enough people to cover the workload. south central ambulance service is declared a critical incident, t to extreme pressure across our services. all staff and volunteers working extremely hard to respond to cause. but the volume is overwhelming. that are absolutely situations where people are writing many, many hours supposed to get in to the hospital. and then once they've been in the hospital waiting to see a doctor, cause it has a detrimental effect on anybody who's waiting for hours either in london. so sitting in an emergency department and nobody working in those services wants to see that happens, but there is a huge amount of pressure on the chest. at the moment. meanwhile, ambulances are being forced to stay in keys for hours outside hospitals, which are struggling to cover themselves with demands for beds, a number of medic supposed to these pictures,
10:07 am
check this to the current situation of social media, one paramedic hit, the money urgent action after showing 25 ambulance crews waiting to enter the emergency department, adding its not even winter yet while early this month to sad story of a patient who died after waiting more than 5 hours in the back of an ambulance. we are right on the edge, and it is the middle of october. it would require an incredible amount of luck for us not to find ourselves in the midst of a profound crisis over the next 3 months. so what to do? well, the u. k. governments put the country on some the akin to a war footing could try to deal with covey cases and get ready for the winter flu season. on top of it, troops have been trained to dr. ambulances. some 4000 of them are on stand by to help the n h. s. coat with a winter season. early at the defense secretary said that soldiers are also ready to assist with other duties, administering vaccine testing for coven. another general support in hospitals, new daily coded cases in the u. k skyrocketed in july and they've remained i ever
10:08 am
since doctor's fear of those numbers combined with the flu season, could overwhelm the health system and the chest chief source of the prime minister to implement its more stringent plan b for winter, including vaccine, passport, compulsory face mask again, although so far the government's held back on that, you know, there are other things that the government could could in it could be doing. and yes, they should be absolutely seriously considering mr. at this point in time before things go too far. hospital i working has been on what we call black alert, which means that the beds are absolutely full of patients for a number of weeks now. and we are not uncommon across the whole system. many hospitals are very full with patients and we know that hospitals actually run at their most efficient if they're not absolutely full up with at patients. and it does mean that knock on effects are that have those patients who are waiting for urgent surgery who require in particular intensive care pads or high dependency care and not being processed and not being cared for in
10:09 am
a timely way. and we know that is the case. there are 5700000 people on waiting lists within the n h. s. at present, which sadly is probably going to get worse before it gets better. fatal whistleblower julia sans remained in limbo this week are for today extradition appeal hearing at london's high court the ursa challenging you case decision not to extradite him to america on health crimes is warranted by washington on 17 charges of espionage. and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer if convicted the san shoe exposed alleged west and war crimes could face a prison sentence of a 175 years. although it may be months before a final verdict in the cases reached the i the judges just said they will take everything into consideration,
10:10 am
but no ruling was handed out immediately. the entire day was devoted to hearing arguments before by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal, why they wanted to appeal a judge's decision not to extra by the phone. and there were 5 grounds of appeal into 2 main topics. so of course it's on just health and the assurances, a diplomatic assurance is given by the united states in terms of health. what the prosecution have been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court. why concealing the identity of a sondors partner, stella morris, and the 2 children, we finally heard the yahoo news story, the investigative journalism that was done a few weeks ago where 30 us officials confirmed what we already knew from anonymous testimony, that the c i was discussing plans to potentially kidnap or poison julianna's songs in london. and so this was brought up in the context of why couple men, why professor coleman should not disclose the identity of a song, his partner and their 2 children,
10:11 am
because he feared for their safety. when it comes to the assurances the united states is giving. they say that drilling assumption service sentence in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take you in his arms. this is a process that takes many years. the truth is the drilling a songs will most definitely be played in it, leaf administrative segregation. and if not, he'll be sent to a special housing unit. so there's a wide array of tools that not a states can use to break him once he's on us soil, and then most certainly will. well, during both days, the hearing sanchez, supporters rallied outside the co building. they want his immediate release and chanted journalism is not a crime. others express growing concern of the with the flow of health. think floyd, co founder and long time assign supporter roger waters told r t that he believes the whole case is a huge miscarriage of justice. this is an absolute nonsense that this man has been locked up for a single day. whether it's in the ecuadorian embassy or in bel marsh. and this is, this is one of the most valuable human beings that we,
10:12 am
the human race have. amongst us. he is deeply, deeply important to the potential for this race to survive on this planet in my view. that is why julian sanchez is in prison because he is interfering with their cunning planter steel the planet should have ripened to death and then destroy. it is a disgusting miscarriage of justice. look at guantanamo bay, asked shaka, alma, my friend, ask anybody who has been in the hands of the u. s. judiciary. and at any point, possibly since the 2nd world war with whom they did not agree. and you will find that there is no justice to be found in the united states. i am shall angry, and i'm so bad. i am so disgusted with the united kingdom. oh,
10:13 am
i did a radio program last night. john ship, tim was on it and he was extremely eloquent. and i asked him how him, how he manages his grief and, and he was absolutely, he was so moving to listen to, he says willy, he puts it to one side as it goes through his life. and his life is entirely devoted to the freeing of his son, so he can go to his wife and children. and john says that late at night he may retreat into his melancholy. and i felt my heart lurch in my chest. as i listened to this man saying yes, and i felt his melancholy hit me like a. i'm a blow on my chest. we are not going on anywhere at all. and our voice is going to get louder and louder and louder to julian, some to say free. but promise you that this story gallery chapter on our site is
10:14 am
not often someone disappears entirely from the theory most wanted list. but that's exactly what happened to one man who said to be a key figure. and january's capitol hill riots in washington. he was caught on camera telling people to storm the building. well, he's got some including members of the republican party raising big questions about who exactly this mystery man or figure was kellum open picked up the story and individual featured in videos, calling for people to enter the capital building, even before the january 6th capital riot. and was seen on the day january 6th ushering crowds into the capital building has been identified by law enforcement as arizona resident re, apps, re apps and aries on a man seen invite la circulated videos telling trump support his on multiple occasions to go into the capitol also seemed to have acted on his own. i don't know like a rebel, as i said, we need. we need to know. i'll say, oh,
10:15 am
we need to go in the camera. let's go. ah, not surprisingly, he was on the f. b i's most wanted list them was referred to as suspect. 16 for some time f b i w f o is seeking the public's assistance in identifying those who made unlawful entry into the u. s. capital building on january the 6th. but now suspect 16 has been scrubbed from the f b i website. now if you take a look at the way back machine from archive dot org, you can see that from january 8th, 2021, all the way until june, 30th suspect 16 was pretty clearly highlighted, but suddenly, on july, 1st, he wasn't on the website any longer. now if he'd been arrested, he would still be on the website just with arrested under his name,
10:16 am
like others who have been apprehended. but he's not, he's just been scrubbed. this has prompted lawmakers to ask questions about whether or not there were f b. i provocative tours who may have helped events on january 6th to go the way they did far as we can find this individual has not been charged with anything. can you tell us without talking about particular incidence or particular videos? how many agents are assets of the federal government were present on january 6, whether they agitated to go into the capital and if any of them did a so i'm not going to violate this norman of follow the rule of law. i'm not going to comment on investigation that's ongoing. now the capital breach database has no entries or listings for re apps to some. that's a pretty big red flag. the ongoing mystery of re apps, he repeatedly appears in videos encouraging and inciting an invasion of the capital on january the 6th. yet for some reason has not yet been indicted were charged.
10:17 am
even his people with far less involvement have been re apps as a free man. he has never been arrested or charged nearly 10 months after july. the 6th, the f b i in justice department still refused to comment on with the eps has ever been served. a search warrant the f b i's record when it comes to things like protests and provocations is not exactly squeaky plain. people can look up the history of cohen tell pro infiltration and other dirty deeds. if january 6th is such a pivotal date in u. s. history as its being presented. surely questions like those surrounding suspect? 16 demand answers. caleb martin, r t new york will continue to try again. this is the weekly welcome. i hope you're enjoying the weekend. let me tell you, walked ahead. this will become more the new to the 7 days term. all the names said that as it was rocked by military takeover and the rest of its political leadership after the break.
10:18 am
ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. kaiser's financials reliable guy. i don't buy a i guy on the futures. as of friday, at the last time i buy it from a teacher. so crocker watch kaiser reporting ah
10:19 am
ah ah, no stories started bringing a couple of hours ago multiple injuries reported after an attack on the tokyo metro ot suskin. taylor brought me more details. what do we know so far? well at around 8 p. m. local time in the japanese capital of tokyo, police were allowed to to an ongoing attack on one of the train lines. now, what this attack entailed is still being investigated. what we do know is that the person suspected of being responsible has been taken into custody of reportedly. this is a man according to saw no more than 20 years old,
10:20 am
who went on to one of the train carriages wielding a knife. i'm afraid some kind of substance before setting it on fun. this officer caused a great deal of panic and tales. people were terrified from the videos that i for people to fleeing the other end of power. just some even trying to squeeze through some of the courage window. at the stage, the no say ton of teams reported the reports are conflicting, but we're looking at multiple injuries according to some around 10 people, one person seriously hot. and they were treated by a number of ambulances that appeared very quickly at the scene of the extent of the damage to the train. well, that was images of some very fond seats on is the picture at the moment, smell brisk? i will say this a very busy train line. it's in the west of the city. it's primarily a commute to train the car on 1400000 people daily. of course it's a sunday though, so few people thankfully around to be harmed. they got said it is
10:21 am
a very important day for japan because it is voting the general elections. so maybe more people would have been out and about the final thing i will say though, unfortunately, this is not a one off incident. comes from 3 months off to 9 people wounded in a stopping attack on another commute to train and tokyo. so in august, a woman had thrown and her face on the capitals subway. so the south a pair at this stage to be ready the, the latest and quite worrying series runs a military takeover under state of emergency all combined in on monday, in the north african country of sudan. that is, his top general dissolve the civilian cab and arrested the prime minister, who has since been released. the overthrow spot wide spread outraged with protest, sir, on saturday and the capital cartoon with the military open fire at one point to disperse the crowds and reportedly killed several people. the countries defacto ruler urging people not to regard the events as a qu, saying the previous interim government had been completely ineffective. the images
10:22 am
of chaos and sudan led to international condemnation at washington piling on the pressure. we've already made clear are that we are pressing pause on a significant aspects of our economic assistance to sudan. and we will look at the full range of economic tools available to us in coordination and consultation with regional actors and other key countries to make sure that we are trying to push ah, the suit, the, the entire sudanese political process back in a positive direction after this significant and alarming set back with all i what he was alluding to there, the state department earlier announced it will stop hundreds of millions of dollars in economic aid to the country in response to the military takeover. but just who will be hurt the most by that decision or his are senior correspondent in this day and age, almost nothing is sacred off limits. you can weaponized anything, trade, culture information. it doesn't have to kill all it has to do is hut. in light of
10:23 am
these developments, the united states is pausing assistance from, from the $700.00 off the $700000000.00 in emergency assistance appropriations of economic support funds for susanna. this was badly. c needed money for one of the poorest nations in the world, but it came of all sorts of political strings attached thick cables of them. as a door assistance often does they are weapons behave do as you are told, or will cut you off. the problem is the people who get cut off usually aren't the ones that misbehaved. like when the us froze of ghana stands bank accounts. president biden is not hurting the taliban or the current regime. this is really hurting every day. afghans and the united states will push them into further poverty. take my word for it. while in afghanistan, i didn't see a single hungry taliban fighter. i saw thousands of civilians the poor out in the
10:24 am
streets, willing to sell family members for food because they weren't getting salaries because have got a son's bank accounts had been frozen, but no magazine among them. and this sort of keratin stick approaches. seen frequently. we stopped paying a loss as a to them and they will not see that money again until they adhere to the agreements. but they built a damn that stops the water from flowing into the nile. and you can't blame egypt for being a little bit upset. i had a deal done for them, and unfortunately, a c o p, a broke the deal, which it should not have done. it was a great mistake. and short, the united states cut hundreds of millions of dollars worth of health care and education and development aid to the government of ethiopia. the suspension of a proved pointless that little besides irritates ethiopia. and of course de leon, stop countless health care and education programs or take palestine for ever at the
10:25 am
receiving end of those u. s. h cut. what does that achieved? this administration is there by targeting the most vulnerable segment of the palestinian people and depriving refugees of the right to education health, shelter, and dignified life. but that was all child's play compared with what transpired in venezuela helped along by ruinous us sanctions. they struck as venezuela was going through an economic crisis and it resulted in near complete e can amik annihilation inflation at half a 1000000 percent of fantastical figure, but with very real consequences. you'd think that lessons had been learned that pulling aid to poor nations is like pulling a meal from a hungry parson. the leads aren't the ones that suffer and starve that isn't the reasoning behind aid cut. think cynical, think heartless?
10:26 am
the idea behind pulling aid is as simple as it is cruel, to compel the, the angry, the hungry and the desperate master rise up against their own rulers. that the elites truly fear climate change, the gas crisis and relations with the e u. they're all some of the major issues that were discussed in the week at the ration economic forum. we covered at the meeting. so some of the biggest names in business gathering, the italian city, verona is r t s correspondent shout davinsky, reporting from said event. this is where the big questions were debated over 2 days at eurasian economic forum in verona. as cop 26 now starts in glasgow, the environment was definitely on many minds with warning that it depends on strong political will. and the change in how we live our lives. the sheila,
10:27 am
capital environmental issues depend on 3 sides, consumers, businesses and politicians, and all of them oppose environmental solutions or consumers don't want to consume less. businesses want to increase profits to produce more and more. and politicians are afraid of discussing the issue is they may not be re elected if they order people to consume less and pessimists worry, it will all end in some sorts of environmental dictatorship. the viability of the new status on the world stage was also questioned. there were calls great to find a clue, says strategic alliance with russia to build on the strength of you re here which could act as a balance to china and to the us. there were plenty of other har taking words to about the you, particularly over. it's management of the current energy crisis. we are in a complete a mass now you room marquez her are feeling completely at the
10:28 am
prizes arm extraordinary high, disapprove of history, young and anxiously rapid gas price growth in europe is mostly connected to an excess of confidence. and renewable energy sources. slam mythologies say that this year, the wind force in europe was 15 percent low than average. that negatively affected power generated by wind turbines, and lead to the lack of gas reserves in europe. and that will be europeans. would be very advice to enter into a reasonable dyrock with our supplier countries instead of making acquisition. many you politicians may find it tempting to lift the burden of responsibility form themselves and perhaps lay the blame on someone else and you guessed it. in this case it is on russia. 6 but there are many who say that the facts do not add up in the ease blame game with moscow. luckily,
10:29 am
say high gas prices are linked to the miscalculations of the european union. as far as we know, russia has supplied about 15 percent more gas than its existing contracts cover. also, as for the gas that was supposed to come from the us, out of the 28000000000 europe received only 7 because the rest went asia. so what can we take away from verona? well, to some of the panelists up, the world has changed and we need to be prepared for that change, which could significantly impact government's business. and you and i, it's now a multi polar world. and if the e is to find a way to have a real voice, it needs to look for alliances to the east. charlotte, even sky r t, verona. how you enjoyed our new srp today? that's the way the week pond out on next programs and your part of the world draft for a short break coming up. mean tom,
10:30 am
thanks for taking time to your weekend to check in with me, kevin. out in the weekly, from the rest, the tape of a great rest of this sunday. ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. oh, you have to understand that so much of this nato stuff is theatrical. it's purely theatrical. nato did not fight for georgia in 2008 it onto planned to fight for georgia. there was not the slightest consideration of alpha fighting for georgia and schools. it didn't fight for ukraine in 2014 item and there is absolutely no intention anywhere in western europe.
