with ah, turning off the taps by the root. some brody shelton, oil pipeline which runs from russia to poland and on and into the e. u on scheduled maintenance is the stated reason for the whole. but comes at a time of height and tensions between minsk and brussels. a shop divide emerges over ponens tactics with france, sliding plans for a massive wool to build on the border. we look at the top line being taken against people crossing from belarus, law migrant boats. so fully crossing the mediterranean and when every minute matters in england, people's lives being put in danger. roommate delays and delivering emergency health . we're here from a man whose mother passed away off to an ambulance failed to arrive on time. potentially, you know this, her death?

devine should been saved if the ambulance arrived sooner, that doctor attended as soon as possible. aah! o one from oscar. thanks for joining us. an international and daniel hawkins, wherever you are tonight, to welcome to the program. the batteries has shut down a major oil pipeline which runs from russia to poland and on to other e u countries. minsk sites on scheduled maintenance, adding the stoppage would last 3 days. so that's a claims from europe, the movies. no coincidence. considering the situation that's current unfolding all the countries border. i caught a, you don't. o'neill heard more from a lot easier. katrinka, this is actually the number one intrigue, whether there are any links between the closure of the operations in this throws more friendship pipeline. what i want to make clear though is that

we're talking about an oil pipeline and also earlier warnings by the, by russian president, alexander lucas angle, about the potential shut down of a gas pipeline. well technically there aren't because mens could is saying that's the reason for this is just that something needs to be fixed and this is something that's only gonna laugh for 3 days. more importantly, we're talking about completely different transit routes, completely different pipelines and different kind of commodities being supplied all in the one hand and gas on the other. so on paper it looks like this doesn't have anything to do with politics, but again, we do remember how last week, alexander lucas shan't go. his rhetoric was very aggressive. he pretty much said that if the leaders don't behave themselves, he is ready to cut off gas supplies from the europe, the amal pipeline. and this is something very important because we do remember that

we're hot on the heels of an energy crisis in europe. that mostly had to do with gas, skyrocketing and gas prices, as something that we were seeing throughout september and october. and this was very serious. and it could be that mister lucas ankle could be sending a signal to europe that i'm ready to pull the strings. maybe do something with his wall pipeline and let the e leaders think at what may happen next. so is this a signal or that is the sauce not a signal. we don't know, but this could be the way he's thinking at this point. an important point though, we perhaps should touch on the energy so flies that valor is transits through its territory don't belong to minsk, has russia responded to developments? well, 1st of all, if we're talking about the dubois oil pipeline, which is used for all deliveries from the oil fields and central russia to

countries such as poland, hungary, the czech republic, germany, the russian side for now is rather call because they're saying that if it's only for 3 days. that is not going to affect the total quantity of supplies in a month. so with that there. okay. but actually vladimir potent who often supports alexander lucas shane, go. and we know that borrows from russia are close allies when mister putin heard about this threat from the bar was the president of a potential closures of the gas pipeline. he was rather critical about it. here's what exactly you said. one motive to insure theoretically, alexander lucas, chicago can shut down the gas pipeline as the president of a transit country. he can probably give an order to cut off our supplies to europe . it, although this would be a violation of transit contract for i hope it doesn't come to this. if it happens,

it will cause great damage to the european energy sector in the one contribute to the development of our relations with bella, ruthless in life. so mister potent remarks were rather calm and very diplomatic, i should say. this though isn't, does something that we're supposed to expect from europe because they're very aggressive when it comes to alexander lucas angle. they're aggressively reacting to anything. he says they are blaming him for waging a hybrid war are against the european union. so just wait till the european leaders say something about this later. decision to temporarily closed rouge bar or friendship. the oil pop on that we've just been talking about. but a rose has condemned poland border tracks our recording it violence against people on another countries territory. publish photographs of front self, the frontier foreign walter cotton and tig asked to prevent margaret's from breaking through. ah,

the use drawing up new sanctions against belarus, accusing it of engineering the crisis by flying in while grants from the middle east and sending them to the polish border. winston eyes that and rouse, heating up with russia, also entering a phrase, planning the inhumane way refugees are being treated the ladaja, not a migration gracious that we might respond with all possible doors to our disposal, smiled as human beings had been converted and weapons shut the dealer on not only board, the gas and the post border, but the military as well. up to $20000.00 personnel with aircraft an armored vehicles are deployed there. the

or what is happening in several places on the borders of the union is disconcerting . the gap between the great principles proclaimed and the neglect of the hunger and coal to which human beings are exposed at the borders of the union is surprising. cheaply, la polish border is one of several. a you migration hotspots are last weekend alone . more than 600 refugees or are 33 shores off the traveling from north africa. and i thought he shot at the winds. he explains they're being treated very differently for those attempting to cross of our belarus. what a difference a route makes. in the last few days, hundreds of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea flimsy fishing boats found themselves rescued and brought to you repeat land. since the start of this year, more than $50000.00 migrants have used that sea root reach italy that's an 85 percent increase compared to the same period last year and almost 500

percent more compared to 2 years ago. by landing on europe's mediterranean coast, migrants find themselves greeted by agencies there to lend a helping hand fly just under 2000 kilometers to another e u. country. and the reception couldn't be more different around 3000 migrants, desperately trying to survive in no man's land. as winter sets in n g o z and agencies can't even get full access. while the past to freedom is blocked by fear cast by water, cannons by barbed wire. in a bid to shore up the eastern european borders. poland is going to construct a war war that would be partly paid for by the european union, and is designed to stop people from crossing into the block where they can then make claims for asylum. but as this war has been given, the green light, the use top court issued this ruling. the courts of justice finds that hunger has

failed to fulfill its obligations by allowing an application for international protection to be rejected as inadmissible. on the grounds of the applicant arrived on his territory by a state in which that person was not exposed to persecution or risk of serious harm, or in which a sufficient degree protection is guaranteed that judgement laws hungry in the court ice has restricted the right of asylum seekers yet doesn't to war finance. why the you do exactly that. european union is full of contradictions. so massive immigration, it's right. this is where the good allison brussels has been telling all the member states that they should greet all these are the immigrants coming from the, from all over the world. they said quotas and they went to crockett because some political wars were hungary with serena, poland, because they would refuse quotas that the region union wants this passive aggression, to the know of a sudden in one specific country. it is okay to build

a wall. and that's fully only because we're speaking about belarus and which is an ally of russia. so this shows this bit that double standards that the european union is opposing to shows that then you can union couldn't care. that's about immigration and that it's using these tremendous, depending on the situation around a $115000.00 in legal border crossings have been made. they see at the use external board is the majority of still coming from the main routes that have been established. now, over many years, yet while countries like italy and hungry, which have been at the coal face of this problem for so many years now, a lot she left to deal with it on their own. poland enjoyed the immediate backing of brussels, which is rally duran with both moral political and now financial support. and while it's easy to say that lease is picking one mistake against another, this is much,

much more than that. this is double standards at the highest level, se sum, and that level goes all the way to brussels. charlotte, even sky r t, paris and the u. s. the jury in the high profile and bitterly divisive trial of called which now centers. it's 2nd, they have the declarations loss here, the ben 17 year old faith that he shot 2 people hearing a protest against police brutality in the eastern state of wisconsin, while the prosecution and says he's guilty of homicide. which in house argues he acted in self defense with more on the story, his audio john audi. very start right around 9 am local time. here are here at the cursor county courthouse in kenosha, wisconsin. in the homicide trial. in the homicide case of a 2 year old kyle written house, who was 17 at the time when he opened fire, shooting and killing 2 men and badly wounding a 3rd. during riding a protest here in kenosha in august of 2020. and really the crux of the case, what the jury has to weigh is whether or not written house acted in self defense.

when he opened fire at these 3 men who his defense team, his lawyer say were attacking rittenhouse. the prosecution however incense that rittenhouse acted recklessly that he should have never been here in kenosha at that time. it was already a volatile situation with riots and protesting, standing from the police, shooting of a black man, a black resonant here of kaneesha that rittenhouse was here with a rifle. he added to the overall volatility and ultimately 2 people lost their lives and a 3rd was maimed for light. so the jury is weighing 5 felony counts against rittenhouse and $23.00 homicide reckless homicide towns and also to reckless endangerment and possession of a dangerous weapon. so basically these counts would be murder charges, and other states. and if convicted, he states is anywhere from 25 years to life in prison. now this is a case that's really divided many americans, those who are in support of rent. how saying that he was a hero,

that he was here defending the community where his father lived with house linda, south about 70 miles south in the state of illinois. they came here during his protest. i who says to defend some of the businesses that are being ransacked that were being loaded some burned down by the rioters and protesters and also also to offer medical aid to some of the people. here, prosecutors content, however, and those who are against him, that he should have never been here, that he was acting recklessly that he was acting as a visual anti. so this case is really divided many americans, both for and again, written house and here at the court house today outside as we've seen throughout the proceedings, there's basically i'll step out of the way real quick so you can get a better luck and we're not blocked by a car, but there's basically people are smattering protesters anywhere from 2 to 3 days and mostly against written how saying that he should be found guilty. others that like i said, are in support of kyle written house. we haven't seen any,

any serious escalation of violence. there's been some arguments when there is police react pretty quick. they step in pretty quickly. honestly, there's really more media at this point than there are any demonstrators or protesters. but back said as i step back into the shop, there is concerned at it for when a verse of verdict is handed down by the jury. that could stem more unrest in the city. so in order prepared for that or basically on stop any violence, the governor of wisconsin, tony evers has paul to duty. $500.00 national guard troops to remain on standby to be activated in the event that unrest or violence arrived here in the city. but for now, the city of kenosha wisconsin remains calm as we await a verdict. in this case, with a discuss this further, we cross live to on those of it's similar to us professor of law hobbled law school . sir, thanks for joining us. the right good to have you on the program. this is a case really that's divided america, hasn't it? and i guess whatever the outcome,

half of the country will be disappointed with that with what's going to happen. i suppose the context though, all of these, these shootings happening in the, during the black lives matter protests on the issue of race and has been central, hasn't it? do you think that's been something important in this case and why most and central even though all the participants, in this case, a white, if the sure on the other foot, if this were a black lives matter protester who had shot electrically in self defense, then the heart last and the racial left would be very much in favor of the defending. but here the heart left is very much against the defendant. it's a difficult case because there are really 2 trials. the prosecutor put rittenhouse on trial for being there for having a gun for coming to arrive. the defense defended him only against the charge of shooting and the defense warrants the case to focus on 3 to 4 minutes. the

prosecution was the case, can focus on more hours and even a whole day together. and the judge didn't clearly obstruct the jury as to how they should decide what if they agree with both. what if the jury agrees that he shouldn't have been there? he's not euro shouldn't have had a gun, but his life wasn't danger. and he did fire and self defense. the judge hasn't really told the jury how to decide that case. so whichever way the verdict comes out, there will be disagreement, and there may be protests on a stand of jury has asked for more instructions about that, that abrasions on, on day 3 or what's been going on. but we'll come back to some of the, at the intricacies in a moment, but just look at the what the, what a picture here and politically as well. joe biden as presidential nominee. and obviously tweeted a picture of what's in house with a donation of white supremacy. and do you think that could have had an influence on the case? i mean was not really acceptable. yes,

it helped to form the narrative. there's no evidence that he's a white supremacist, and indeed he may carry, well sued a president for defamation. if it's within the statute limitations, or you can't just call somebody white supremacist without any evidence. that is both a matter of opinion, but it's also based on faction if there's nothing in his background to support that he's a white supremacist, that would be defamation. so i think god, joe biden, the candidate made a serious mistake by intruding into the case and letting his opinion be heard whether year later, it still has an influence. it's probably an indirect influence on establishing the media narrative. and what about the judge? in this case, he's been accused of bias of outright racism bought by some. he's also refused to allow those disease to be referred to as victims. he said it's a loaded word as he claims, at least, and certainly been watching some of the footage of his classes with the,

the prosecution with whom he has been rather strict, hasn't li am or what's your assessment of his i was seeing of the trial. so far will he's a fairly typical judge again, is the sure on the other foot or a black defendant on trial for the same crown, the same people are condemning him, would be praising him. so it's all hypocrisy. it's all about partisan choosing sides. it has nothing to do with truth. it has nothing to do with the evidence. it has nothing to do with honesty. it's all ideology, and it's all hypocrisy. no, no, i'm talking about how to respect the jewelry, then to come to any sort of conclusion, because obviously just go back to the charges. they're considering those 5, a very serious charges aren't like what the prosecution was argued. they would also accept a jury coming to a conclusion based on less charges as well of reckless that homicide of our believe it was a model or expert. but sir, and these charge less serious than the ones he's east. he's prosecuted with

a jury of we face with what a difficult task currently they're very difficult to, especially because they haven't gotten clear instruction. shanna, they may very well end up with a compromise. verdict, not 1st degree, deliberate murder, but something short of that were there may be a hung jury. there may be an inability for 12 jurors to decide unanimously. i think the 2 issues that they will focus on would be whether they believe written, how's, who testified, and look them in the eye and what they make of the evidence, particularly video evidence that drone evidence, the real time evidence that shows what actually happened. none of it's conclusive when it's what the jury will probably focus on and that's why the jury wants to see that drone video again swimmer and adjust. schroeder said he hasn't received any complaints in the case and it's suggested those who are dissatisfied or criticizing the trial or trying to somehow influence the outcome here. ah, do you think there has been any attempts by either side here to undermine the

fairness and the impartiality of this trial process? no doubt, no doubt, because people on the hard last are trying to influence the outcome of this case in other cases. there's another case now in georgia were a 100 african american ministers. are praying for a conviction. in this case, the jury wasn't even sequestered. so they know what's going on outside. they are told not to watch television, but nobody believes that. all the jury is actually abide by that. so there's no question that the media narrative has the danger of seeping itself into the would be very, very unfair if that were the case. you mention the context of this case? i think we have just lost our guest. miss. all you all back, mrs. oh sure. yeah. thanks. we lost you for a 2nd good stuff you back and you mentioned the context of this case and what would

happen if she was on the other photos. you said, what about if this shooting that this incident hadn't happened during a black gloves? math approaches to have been all the cases in the us where people have claimed self defense in shootings. they've had different outcomes as well. how do you think this a conflict that it happened during this progress on the water environment incident has influenced the case. i've had myself about 25 homicide cases, death penalty cases, self defense cases of the sort. i won the vast majority of them, but they've all been very, very, very difficult. if this were not black lives matter protest, this would not be noticed by the, by the media. this would just be another case and probably would result in an acquittal based on the evidence that i've seen. but because it's a highly charged racial case, growing out of black lives matter demonstrations,

which were very violent, very vital. so, you know, there's violence on both sides here, but each side wants to blame the other violence message. thanks so much for your expertise and knowledge in this case that will get back to you. when you revert it is delivered out of its professor of law at harvard law school. thanks so much for your time here today. thank you. that was feared, lives are being put at risk in england over increasing waiting times for ambulances . that's also having a knock on effects on national emergency phone line, which is being inundated with extra calls from people asking where the ambulances are. reportedly the average wait for a cold. we all said last month was 56 seconds. that's converted us. 7 seconds at the same time, last year. all to use that shot it was dusty have more. well crim statistics and shock reports aren't exactly something the united kingdom is particularly alien to

when it comes to the annex chess, the pandemic. i'm the government's handling of it, but these findings are definitely alarming. as, according to a report, people are now dying in the back of ambulances at a stuck outside of hospitals, simply because they can't get in and up to 160000 patients. every single year or coming to severe harm as a result of these delays. plus there's nearly $300000.00 more emergency calls a month the normal at because of the ambulance shortages. we think that about 3 quarters if the extra phone calls that are coming in on 999, i'll repeat dialers trying to find out what's happened to the ambulance, they're having to wait for too long for. so this is essentially a cycle of crisis because ultimately patients can't get admitted into hospital, they're waiting outside or even being treated in ambulances. but that means those ambulances can't get back on to the roads, to respond to further emergency service calls. in fact,

many people are now waiting, including the most serious of categories like suspected heart attacks or even strokes. and some of these categories are even waiting up to an hour or for an ambulance to arrive. and of course is, is having a detrimental impact on patient safety. the ambulance service is simply not providing the levels of service they should patients for waiting too long. and that is present that much risk. well, this report and exactly go into the amount of people that are dying, but does confirm that have been deaths in ambulances waiting outside emergency departments, or shortly after being admitted, following a long way to also consider that other people as still in their homes, are not able to be saved because paramedics, a stock, or the any, and unable to answer these calls. now all of this, all of the findings in this report is particularly reminisce to just this time last year at the height of the pandemic, where people again were being treated outside hospitals as the hospitals was simply

running out of beds due to the demands of the cove at 19 pandemic. now back then, and they trust bosses described the services as being on its knees. and now that describing it as simply at breaking point, as the demand is increasing, as also as a cobit cases back to skyrocket levels. and all of this really basically says, if you're sick in the united kingdom, it's a very bad time to be sarah, this being treated like terrorist that's the fear being raised by us. republicans on news of the f. b, i and cooperation with counter terror specialists is apparently tracking threat directed at teachers of moral miss. so let's go live to kayla more than in new york . caleb. pretty unusual story. this isn't it. on the one hand, everyone has the right to safety. on the other hand, are things going to fall. but the concern being rate here isn't it sure it appears the f. b,

i has allegedly activated criminal and counterterrorism divisions in response to threats against school board members. by parents now we have an email that was provided to republican lawmakers from an f b i leaker. and this email that was leaked. it indicates that there was some kind of directive from the us attorney general merrick garland instructing, you know, parents going after school boards to be treated as terrorists. this is from the e mail, the counter terrorism and criminal divisions, created a threat tag. edu officials to track instances of related threats. we ask that your offices apply the threat tag to investigations and assessments of threats, specifically directed against the school board administrators. board members teaches and stuff. now this e mail that was leaked is dated october 20th,

which is the day before the u. s. attorney general testified before congress that he had done no such thing. the justice department of supports and defense, the 1st amendment right of parents to complain as vociferously as they wish. i can't imagine any circumstance in which the patriot act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children. nor can i imagine a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorism. now, in his testimony, attorney general merit garland defended the memo. he said that he had received from the national school board association, a call concerning the safety of school board members in response to some of the threats that were leveled against school boards around the country by parents. so, and in response to that, i am in response to that that this memo was created are that was necessary to step

in and protect the safety of school board members. however, we have many republicans were stepping up and questioning the priorities of the f. b. i and asking if they should really be treating parents who complain about school curriculum and other issues like potential terrorists in an agree just abuse of power with the potential to unfairly track americans activities. present biden's, department of justice is using f. b. i criminal and counter terrorism resorts is to target parents when multiple u. s. gymnast through sexually assaulted by their team doctor the f. b. i ignored them. when too many consent parents spoke hard at school board meetings. the f. b, i launched its anti cons. terry's division against them. now the f. b, i has denied that it is targeting parents. however, many look at this situation where across the country we have many parents going to school board meetings and raising concerns about issues are regarding whether it's,

you know, coven restrictions, or a critical race theory, or some of the books that are available in the school. we have parents stepping up and raising these concerns and many see this move by the f b i. if they indeed did raise counterterrorism and activate counter terrorism mechanisms. they see this is a very unnecessary escalation that could essentially intimidate other parents from stepping up with their concerns. okay, killable for now. thanks for that update. caleb opened live from you. well as a headlong this hours they soon next for boom, boston those view new cake and catch up with the latest episode of going on the ground. so we returned and often our latest join us again with .
