it's a matter of wet who turning off the tops bella roost temporarily said an oil pipeline, which runs from russia to poland and into the e. u. scheduled maintenance is the stated reason for the holes, but comes at a time of heightened tension between men, skank, brussels. a sharp divide emerges. they, the poland tactics with france slumming plans but a massive wall to be built on the border. we look at the tough line been taken against people crossing from bella. ruth, while my good boats, if freely crossing the mediterranean. oh, i'm the divisive trial of karl, which somehow sees class. she is outside of us court. not as accusations of bias and defamation fly, and the judge bruns the mainstream media's coverage of the proceedings, grossly irresponsible.
9:01 pm
ah. every one welcome to you. you're watching archie international with me. nicky, aaron, now our top story this our bella russo shut down a major oil pipeline which runs from russia to poland and on to other e u countries. minsk sites, unscheduled maintenance, and i think that the stoppage would last 3 days is led to claims from europe that the move is no coincidence considering the situation that's currently unfolding on the countries border. my colleague, you know, neil heard more from ortiz elementary. 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. busy earlier warnings by the by
9:02 pm
russian president, alexander lucas angle, about the potential shut down of a gas pipeline. well technically there aren't because mens curb 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
9:03 pm
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 leaders think at what may happen next. so is this a signal or that is this not, 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 trans, it's true, it's territory don't belong to minsk, has russia responded to developments? well, 1st of all, if we're talking about the dubois pipeline, which is used for all deliveries from the oil fields and central russia to countries such as poland, hungary, the czech republic, germany,
9:04 pm
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 sango. and we know that barrows and russia are close allies when mister putin heard about this threat from the bar, wasn't president of a potential closures of the gas pipeline. he was rather critical about it. here's what exactly you said. we'll move 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 our transit contract. i hope it doesn't come to this. if it happens, it will cause great damage to the european energy sector in the want contribute to
9:05 pm
the development of our relations with bella rufus 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 latest decision to temporarily closed rouge bar or friendship. the oil pop on that we've just been talking about but a roost house condemned poland border crackdown, calling it violence against people on another country's territory. polish border guards are fenced off. the frontier firing was a cannon and take as to prevent migrants from breaking. ah
9:06 pm
italy and france are both questioning poland severe strategy for dealing with migraines, trying to enter the e. u via belarus. paris is refusing to fund a new wall. warsaw wants to build along the front tail that the european council chief has given it his blessing. it's legally possible based on the truant legal framework, the upper level 2 fighters interest torture, history, buena, just before the eminence. i am in favor over europe, which protects its borders, but not a europe which bristles with barbed wire or covers itself with walls. this contract on ther quanto, 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
9:07 pm
coal to which human beings are exposed to the borders of the union is surprising and cheap. the polish border is one of several ag migration hotspots last weekend alone. more than $600.00 refugees arrived on italy shores after traveling from north africa and is artesia depends. he explains. they're being treated very differently to those attempting to cross viable hours. 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 c route 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. my
9:08 pm
grants 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 t 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 eas top court has just issued this ruling. the courts of justice finds that
9:09 pm
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 of protection is guaranteed. that judgment laws hungry in the court ice has restricted the right of asylum seekers. yet doesn't to war financed by the eve do exactly that. the european union is full of contradictions. so massive immigration is right. this is for the good and brussels. it has been telling all the member states that they should greet all these are these immigrants coming from the golden rule? they said, quotation, they went to some political wars with hungary, with serena with poland because they would refuse on quotas, that the region union wants dispenser, immigration to the know of a sudden in one specific country. it is okay to build a wall and that's bullet only because we're speaking about belarus and which is an
9:10 pm
ally of russia. so this shows this bit that double standards that the european union is opposing to shows that the european union couldn't care to us about immigration, and that it's using this tremendous, depending on the situation around a 115000 illegal border crossings. have been made this year at the e use external borders. 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 durand with both moral political and now financial support. and while it's easy to say that this is picking one mistake against another, this is much, much more than that. this is double standards at the highest level,
9:11 pm
se sum and that level goes all the way to brussels charlotte, even sky r t, paris in the us, the jury and the high profile and bitterly divisive trial of coll rittenhouse continue their deliberations last year. the then 17 year old fatally shot 2 people during a protest against police brutality in the state of wisconsin. while the prosecution insists he is guilty of homicide, which in house argues that he acted in self defense. clash is broken out between protest is on police outside the court. he still had a witness. the events on the ground. oh my god, i do. why don't. why did about black white with it's definitely heated up in terms of the overall vibe in the overall atmosphere. and you know, there was actually just about maybe 10 minutes ago,
9:12 pm
an altercation on the stats between essentially opposing protesters to other protesters gone into a fight. it turned into a fist fight, one of the demonstrators or one of the people that was involved in the altercation then ran across the street. i'm going to get out of the way just so you can try to see the scene a little bit directly in front media behind that. that's the courthouse. the courthouse steps. anyway. this, the scrum was up there. one of the guys ran, ran across the street. and a van pulled up, loaded with police, who then jumped out, tackled via the person involved in the altercation, and presumably arrested him. got them in a van, got that vehicle out of here and then pushed the remaining protectors back up before really that situation escalated and became more violent from there because definitely other protesters were starting to get into a pushing match. this is really the most volatile and the most tense that we've seen so far now that we've been here a little bit earlier today. the jury asked another question to the judge about
9:13 pm
seeing some of the video evidence the jury wanted to review some of the video evidence again. and also the defense team filed another motion for a mistrial, contending and it has to do with drone video content that they did not receive the same resolution and quality a video that the prosecution received. so they had push. this has happened even during the, the overall trial that the defense was pushing for him, his trial adding to the overall drama of the situation. and then of course, during the testimony, col. rittenhouse, his emotional testimony, we're going to back and forth. hi, miss payne or the chief prosecutor in the case. and the judge drew shredder, and i hate to say it's become really kind of a circus carnival atmosphere earlier today. people showing up in costumes, people, you know, just odd the coops and the crazy movie lose showing up here. you know, the question that becomes what happened here in the city when a verdict is handed down. if that does indeed happen, the governor of wisconsin has activated are really on sale by 500 national guard
9:14 pm
troops to be at the ready to help local law enforcement if they get out of control once again. as we saw back in august of 2020, when this happened, when carl rittenhouse than 17 years old, opened fire, killing 2 people winning another. and as he mentioned scott, really the crux of this case, the jury has decided, did he act reasonably, was his self defense, or as the prosecution say, was he acting recklessly as a visually, i'd say you have any business being here where the gun at that time adding to the volatility of the situation back in 2020. so again, the hearing now definitely getting more vulgar. definitely getting more volatile. fewer of where the jury feel poised to make it the judge has said he would rethink whether or not to allow you to try to be televised as well. that he criticized the mainstream media coverage or proceedings is frightening and grossly irresponsible. meanwhile, the number of american media commentators maintain race essential to the case
9:15 pm
despite the fact that men shots by rittenhouse during the black lives matter unrest also white a man he wanted to. he wanted to do it because he was cool. a black kid that killed 2 people and injured another person. how would america feel about that? i think it would be a completely different feeling if you want to know why critical race there exists. the actual loss will theory that emphasizes that supposedly colorblind laws in america often still have racially discriminatory outcomes. they look no further than the trial of col. rittenhouse. this is white privilege on steroids. as far as politics are concerned, what i'm focused on as a trial lawyer observing this is what the potential political orientation of each of the jurors is going to be. meanwhile rittenhouse, his mother has accused joy binding of defaming her son as a response to a tweet from last year containing his image in which the then presidential nominee condemned white supremacists. the issue was raised to the recent white house briefing. why did president find suggest that kyle rittenhouse on trial in
9:16 pm
kenosha, is a way to process so peter, at what i am not going to speak to right now is anything about an ongoing trial. we're waiting a verdicts beyond that, i'm not going to speak to any individuals or this case as the president has spoken to it already. and his mom now powerhouses, mom came out saying that the prison defeated her son claims. she claims that when the president suggested her, so i was white supremacist, he was doing that to win both. was that what happened? i just have nothing more to speak to an ongoing case where the closing arguments were just me, go ahead. we discuss the situation with alan dash awaits of art is professor of low at harvard low school. he says that biden's interference in the case is an influence the media narrative. you can't just call somebody a white supremacist without any evidence. that is both a matter of opinion,
9:17 pm
but it's also based on traction. 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. if the sure on the other foot, if this were a black lives matter protester who had shot electrically in self defense, then the hard last and the racial left would be very much in favor of the defending. but here the hard 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
9:18 pm
prosecution was the case can focus on hold for hours and even a whole day. and the judge hasn't really told the jury how to decide that carry. so whichever way the verdict comes out, there will be disagreement. and there may be protests, people dying in the back of ambulance. is that the grim revelation of a damning report into the case national health service? unprecedented demand, the health care has led to increased ambulance waiting times, which is pissing thousands of lives at risk. our teeth, shante edwards dusty picks up the story. well, crim statistics and shock reports aren't exactly something the united kingdom is particularly alien to when it comes to the n. 8 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 ambulance. is that a stuck outside of hospitals simply because they can't get in and up to a 160000 patients every single year or coming to severe harm as
9:19 pm
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 are 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
9:20 pm
providing the levels of service they should patients for waiting too long. and that is put into that much risk. well, this report and exactly go into the amount of people that are dying, but does confirm that have been debts in ambulance is 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 of stock, or the, any un unable to answer these calls. now, all of this, all of the findings in this report is particularly reminisce to just as 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 kind of 19 pandemic. now back then, and they trust both is described the services as being on its knees, and now they're describing it as simply at breaking point as a demand is increasing, as also as a kind of big cases of back to skyrocket levels. and all of this really basically 6
9:21 pm
year old mother of to be natal died off the waiting almost an hour for an ambulance to turn out a desperate son cold 9997 times. it's a condition deteriorated. she drugs, he died from a suspected heart attack. we spoke to her son. actually patel situation wasn't getting bears so different for an ambulance half to now i was in advise of any t times or anything like that. from the 9 i, 9 call and a 20 minutes passed by and still no ambulances arrived over the course of you know, the next 55 minutes, i made several calls to them. a total of 7 calls are made to them regarding this, letting them know that on each call that you should become more and more breathless . the situations game worse and throw all initial calls. nobody stayed on the line with me. no one said ok, this is what you need to do to help your mom. no,
9:22 pm
nothing like this. the only time, you know, they gave me instruction was on the final call when i'm on was passed out on the floor and they gave me instructions to give a, c p, r. and i see all the time, the state on the phone, all the calls the only time. and that's because she was, you know, she stopped breathing if they told me a half to know the typical way in times going to be about an hour. at that point, i could have taken it downstairs into the, into the car, to the hospital, but by that time it was too late because you know, they can tell her 3, but they told me initially, okay, look, the current wait times is an hour. maybe i could, i could have percy arranged or the alternative transport to get to the hospital has and filed a complaint against the ambulance service and is now carrying an investigation. actually patel again said his mother's case is part of a general trend. the situation that she was in, it was
9:23 pm
a category you know, was a high car recall and, you know, an ambling should have been had sooner than the time they arrived. potentially, you know, this death could be, she could be saved if the ambulance arrived seen a doctor attended as soon as possible. and, you know, my goal now is the memories of mine is to make me awareness. you know, we do have a system failure. you know, the ambulance service or the nature of the whole, you know, he's failing not just me. he failed a lot. people did load his current new affairs on this, on the ambulance delays and you know, something needs to be done. the parents being treated like terrorists start the fear being raised by us. republicans, so news that the f b r and cooperation with counter terrorism specialists is apparently tracking threats direct to the teachers. kellum open reports. it appears the f. b,
9:24 pm
i has allegedly activated criminal and counterterrorism divisions in response to threats against school board members. we have an email that was provided to republican lawmakers from an f b i leaker. and this email that was leaked seems to reference us attorney general merrick garland activating counter terrorism measures. this is what was in the email, 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, teachers, and staff. many republicans fear that this could be used to target parents who are concerned and going to school board meetings concerned about the curriculum their children are being taught. now this e mail that was leaked is dated october 20th,
9:25 pm
which is the day before the u. s. attorney general testified before congress that he had done no such thing, the justice department of support 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 merrick 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, this memo was created, our that was necessary to step in and protect the safety of school board members. however, we have many republicans,
9:26 pm
we're 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 egregious 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 t many consent parents spoke out at school board meetings, the f. b, i launched its entire kinds, terry's division against them, record spike in murder, overdose deaths and illegal immigration. the biden administration does nothing but parents protesting at school board meetings. mary collins sense in the f. b, i's counter terrorism division. the api i has denied that it is targeting parents. however, many look at this situation where across the country we have many parents going to
9:27 pm
school board me, things and raising concerns about issues regarding whether it's, you know, coded restrictions or 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 counter terrorism and activate counter terrorism mechanisms. they should, this is a very unnecessary escalation that could essentially intimidate other parents from stepping up with their concerns. because reaction from a pro chapman a political activist stand mother for, she thinks the government has taken a step to thought they receive a credible threat. where parents are saying we're going to cause bodily harm to this school board or to dis, administrator. if you don't stop then, then there are local officials that can investigate that. but i don't believe that's what's happening here. what we have here is an administration that wants to overstep their boundaries and they want to instill fear and intimidation and
9:28 pm
parents. and i mean, at one point, parents could send their children to their local school and the children would come home educated in the basics. but that's not what we see today. in the past couple of years. we have seen a deterioration in what our children are learning. our children are coming out less educated, but they're coming out more indoctrinated. politics has in infused itself into local school curriculums in such a way that children actually come out with world views that are not useful or helpful for them in the future. but rather they're coming out with world views where they can be easily control and manipulate it and, and, and they can adopt in a belief that they're, they're all priced and that they are victims. and therefore something needs to be done. was it, it is now your thoughts on this story and everything else my following as on social media and leaving your comments that were back in 30 minutes with the headline
