ah, ah, historic 1st in the nation with allies, the u. s. is releasing strategic oil reserves to bring down petrol prices. the found attempts to convince the opaque opec to boost production where i will never expedia to phone to the guys. we are dissatisfied with fuel violence against people . the dutch prime minister lashes out that protest is off the knights of rioting against tough new copays restriction. as cases such unlocked downfall, re imposed across europe, quickens government to sending troops to the poland bella rooster border to assist with the refugee situation to get back home is facing accusations of failing to cope with an even bigger crisis. ah,
6:01 pm
a sorry one. welcome to you. you're watching aussie international with me, nicky, aaron, it's great to have you with us on top story this. our job binding has opened american strategic petroleum reserve making available some 50000000 barrels through the coming months. but despite the unprecedented move, which political rivals claims smocks of desperation in a struggling economy, the president made it this rather astonishing boast were experience to the strongest economic recovery in the world. even after accounting for inflation, our economy is bigger. and our found is that more money in their pockets, and they did before. the pandemic o. u. s. correspondent caleb moore can explains how the decision to open up oil reserves came about. the decision was made in coordination with other major energy consumers, such as india, japan, and south korea in response to the fact that oil exporting countries have not made
6:02 pm
the decision to ramp up the oil supply as the biden administration has repeatedly request it. now, many have looked on and seen this is potentially a p r, move on the part of the biden administration to show that they are concerned about the economy and the rising oil prices. but as you can see on social media, it's kind of have the opposite effect. we see many voices speaking up and calling the move out and rages byte and releasing 3 days worth of oil. that taxpayers already paid for. joe biden would rather dip into a strategic oil reserved and puts americans to work in the energy industry bite and gave away our biggest bargaining chip when he shut down domestic oil production. what incentive would opec have to negotiate when they know we have no or else to go? the price gouging is just beginning. this comes as 70 percent of the us public says they think the economy is moving in a bad direction. the approval ratings of the biden administration are not good by didn't ministration has attributed the,
6:03 pm
the rise in gas prices and to the global oil supply, essentially not keeping pace with the world economy that is now recovering from the pandemic. now they've blamed other countries for holding back oil supplies, as well as energy companies for not passing along the decreases to the consumer. the by did ministration, has repeatedly called on the opec plus countries, led by saudi arabia and russia, and said that they should pump more oil in the hopes of getting the price down. opec countries that represent roughly 77 percent of the world's crude oil reserves . they have declined to do that essentially, and they're sticking to their plan for only modest increases. you know, you have to remember oil consumption in the states is roughly 18 to 19000000 barrels per day. so biden is essentially releasing about 3 days worth of oil. very gradually, over the course of the next 3 months. so at this point that we're failing to see any real impact on the oil prices, ex, austria, and foreign minister can,
6:04 pm
kenesaw saves americas move, go the gates, consumers wishes. i really don't understand this moves. why britain, at 5, by the white house, in general, because of what they're doing is they're bringing more ruge to the u. s. markets, but the u. s. consumer actually is asking for cheaper oil products such as gasoline such as heating oil does. so what we're refinery to now with all that group of 3 days at it just adds to more uncertainty and it's incomplete contradiction with free market economy. it's, it's about manipulating the price. it's actually really incomplete contradiction was the legislative basis for the strategic petroleum reserve. i don't think that this kind of moves, which is a very short term thing and we have seen the reaction by the markets at the prices didn't go down. actually, it was also quite a moving up. so it's,
6:05 pm
it's domestic politics for, for, for a few days. but nothing more than that. europe is in the grip of another wave of cove. it with cases rising in germany and the netherlands in the 10s of thousands on tuesday, the w a chose that it's the continent number one cause of death. so now tough restrictions that being re imposed in several countries, sparking a public outcry in the netherlands at least $130.00 people were detained as anti locked down. protests turned violent with the prime minister that calling those responsible idiots and excel to me as a prime minister. as a liberal. i will always defend demonstrations in this country as part of our democracy, of our rule of law. what i will never accept is idiots who under the guise, if we are dissatisfied, is pure violence against people who are working every day to keep it come to say it in neighboring germany. daily. new corona virus cases have more than doubled over
6:06 pm
the last 2 weeks. with health care work is warning they are being pushed to the limit. nissan you have been working here for 5 years and the situation has never been as bad as it is. now. we are completely overwhelmed with an incredible number of patients. we no longer have an intensive care unit. all this patients are waiting until bats become available. eventually, patients that need to go and ventilators will be in the emergency department. rather than in the intensive care unit, there should actually be 7 nurses on duty. but we only have 4, and sometimes 3, it is not clear how we can take care of patients adequately. with more now on the situation in germany has our europe correspondence. what is the serious survey sounds away in germany right now? well, the, whether the country should follow australia is lead and making vaccine. mandatory austria will make that move from the 1st of february of next year. the debate in germany is really over whether it would be legal or not under the current
6:07 pm
constitution. there are other measures being taken though, in some regions in germany or imposing nighttime curfews saying you can't go out of your home after 10 pm. while this, if you've stood god, becomes the latest region, the latest area to cancel christmas markets for the festive period. following on from the state of bavaria, the states of saxony and a number of other cities across the country angle. a miracle has described this 4th wave of covert 19 as the worst thing the country has faced, while health minister and spawn is painted a bleak picture of the way he sees the current state of affairs. the chinese entities has been to us probably by the end of this winter. sometime cynically said, pretty much everyone in germany will be vaccinated, recovered or dead. but it's true with the highly contagious delta. very, this is very, very likely. well, in australia they are into the 2nd day of the latest national coven locked down. it
6:08 pm
will last for at least 10 days could go on until the 13th of december. people there though, and people here in germany as well, have been expressing their concerns that the actions taken by the government. haven't been the right one job of all. i don't believe it. all the lock down will be over after 3 weeks. not even for us vaccinations, but it is what it is. too late. too late. especially the mandatory vaccination which should have been implemented earlier. not in february. we thought what did the last few months bring vaccinations were done? tests were done and the distance was capital math, floor and yet still the numbers rise. they'll be nice. i. i think it's not nice because it's 1st and they said that it would open up, then they built everything and then we are told that it must be closed and cannot open in slovakia and the czech republic, covert cases are also soaring. in fact, in those 2 countries from monday,
6:09 pm
extra restrictions have come into play. sparring beyond vaccinated from hotels falls head, dresses, and almost all public events as the fear is the intensive care beds will be well. they'll run out of intensive care beds due to the she and number of people that contract the coven, 19 loyal hinds, may i say the issue of mandatory inoculation is legally complicated. yeah, i think you should for, for some 3 years. all austrian lawyers specializing in constitutional law. you. none of us hold the opinion. that's common. mandatory vaccination is permissible when the situation requires it. it means that mandatory vaccination is a suitable means to prevent serious threat to human health. looking at the current situation and what viral did you say about it? this is exactly the case. therefore, here, only when mandatory vaccination is formulated at the level of law. can we say whether or not it's possible? but in general, it is permissible being opposing rallies in australia,
6:10 pm
the people that turn out to support and protest cobit restrictions already. he's trying to expand that pandemic power with a new bill to allow them to reinforce locked downs on vaccine mandate on the state of emergency. and next month, the head of one region says that anybody opposing the mandates is an anti vac. so you are out there in any way, shape or form campaigning against this man, that you are absolutely any fax, your personal back session status is oddly irrelevant. i'm the accusations continue to fly around. i discussed earlier we discussed with a panel of guests where the governments are failing in the fight against cupid. of course, i can see why the people, of course, run a protesting feel. look at the background. brianna. great, we'll take them on the crisis since 2008 that even deeper, 2020 in that crisis that was brought forward measures against
6:11 pm
corona with which are not consistent in favor of the people. but for example, in favor of big companies. and then there is a kind of a lock down, which again is more hitting the small companies, the restaurant, the small cultural industry. some of the protests that we've seen over the past week, they've been a little bit agitated, but i think by far, the most ferocious has been in the netherlands with the police opening fire there. is that an appropriate response? i think it really depends on the circumstances that that police officer found themselves in if offices really genuinely did feel that their life was threatened. and again, i wasn't there, we didn't see exactly what the situation was. they don't, the fire could be justified. it does raise questions as to why offices didn't have less lethal means to combat people that are the media. and they have deemed riotous, you know, far more about this disease than we did 2 years ago where they alternative to lock downs and restrictions. so while the antibody levels go down within 3 months,
6:12 pm
doesn't mean that the personal immunity loss, but in fact, that the rate of transmission is not altered. so then the conceptually, the idea that you quarantine or restrict in some way, those who haven't been vaccinated versus those who have doesn't have any actual impact on the spread we've been told her, the protest is our idiots there by the dutch prime minister. and that they are the 8 agents of violence. i do think a criticism of the demonstrators is misplaced, given these really very draconian restrictions which are at any rate illogical. governments are facing recalled levels of mistrust resort. a survey, how they switch, since he showed doctor the doctor, well trusted, but politicians were less trusted than any other member of society and the record levels of corruption. we've seen a very large factor in people, not trusting the message of the government and actually not wanted to take up medical advice. but it also has confirmed britain will be sending troops to the
6:13 pm
poland valerie border to help with the migrant crisis. them. but the u. k government is accused of failing to cope with an even bigger immigration problem at home with the numbers of those trying to cross the english channel travelling since last year. reporting from westminster. here is sonia edwards, dusty, well pretty patel. the home secretary is being accused of totally losing control of the current crisis on the english channel class. she's being accused of double standards when it comes to how the united kingdom protects borders. you remember 3 years ago pre to patel said that she would make crossings on the english channel, an infrequent phenomenon. then later on more recently, she said she would shut off the route entirely, making it on viable. but what we've seen this year is up to 25000 people of cross english channel headed to the british shoals. in the last few weeks, numerous occasions over a 1000 people have made that perilous journey. and very sadly, in recent weeks,
6:14 pm
around 10 people have lost their lives, making that journey too well. both sides of the english channel is simply blaming each other. what we're seeing is a slight tit for tat, coming from the british and the french, basically a wall of words. but the united kingdom, as says that, the french refusing to keep its word on a joint patrol mission even though the u. k. as forked out around 54000000 pounds a to try and help with this operation. but the french simply say, this is a british problem. and now the home secretary is almost back tracking on what she said, that this isn't a quick fix solution. this problem will take time to fix and that there is no silver bullet. the only solution is whole scale reform of our silence system. so that the home secretary is saying that this isn't something that can be dealt with overnight. in comparison though, to the migrant crisis on the polish ballad route and border while the united kingdom got involved in that almost immediately as the crisis i was developing some
6:15 pm
weeks ago, the united kingdom deployed a small team to assist in the operations on the polish side what we're seeing more recently as an additional 100 troops will now help to reinforce the frontier and adding to one of this. the u. k. has now signed an agreement with potent missing to even help build a wall to stop migrants from getting in. now this wall is expected to cost $1.00, billions locked out. that's around 300000000 pounds. it will be equipped with electronic surveillance equipment and topped with barbed wire to not that will be erected in mid 2022. now the product ministration. i'll thanking and welcoming the british forces to help tighten insecurity. border border is and will be tight. we will insure poland security with the support of british troops. a company of british soldiers will be deployed to sort of alongside polish soldiers as soon as possible, hopefully later this month. well,
6:16 pm
both campaign is on the left and right of politics here in the united kingdom, off off from happy in, slamming this move on the right. they say that the british government is essentially showing a double standards because it's not really dealing with the crisis on the english channel, but almost immediately it's trying to alleviate the crisis on the polish border, plus campaign is on the left. well, they too are condemning the government. they say the british government shouldn't be sending troops to deal with a humanitarian crisis. it's not a military one. so why send the troops and particularly pay attention to the fact that these people are helpless. refugees fleeing west in it generated conflicts. so 2 issues here, very different issues regarding asylum seekers at the united kingdom is a broiled in one here at home and one abroad ones. i was seeing more rhetoric rather than action to try and deal with it. but then if we look over to the polish border, very, very different tactics being used by the united kingdom. some say though,
6:17 pm
a slippery slope that those tactics could then be deployed here in the united kingdom to de la had from just having a running with the you want to have met with a muslim youth group will tell you why among stories coming up with ah,
6:18 pm
join me every thursday on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess will the world politics sport business i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm ah ah, welcome back and developing rub between power is the and the e. u, as outraged french politicians criticize a meeting between the e u, a quality commissioner on the group that france bronze islamist,
6:19 pm
they met in brussels as part of an anti discrimination campaign, but powers cause the talks abnormal. more on that next from charlotte davinsky. well, the european commission has found itself in the dog house with france, with french ministers blowing up over a meeting that was held last week between the commission and a muslim youth organization. several high profile ministers here in france really blasting the fact that that meeting took place saying that the commission, which met with this group called famous so was meeting with an islamist association that has been attacking france. this did, we're referring to the matter to the commission in order to find against this islamist associations that are attacking france and are infiltrating are very institutions. it is absurd. indeed. we are now approaching the european commission . don't let anything go. why is this great cause such as well?
6:20 pm
it's done so on several levels. it's been around for about 25 years. and in the last decade or so, it's apparent you receive 3 lots of funding directly from the european commission frenchman. this is also say has links with the muslim brotherhood. this is a group that is being designated as a terror organization by several are countries and has been banned in those countries. so front says, one by meeting with families. so it's given the commission is key for the to platform that it shouldn't have. and to, by financing it, it's financing womic extremism, but feminist has also caused some other upset taylor in france just in the last few weeks on its website. it said it was part of an anti discrimination campaign that was financed by the council of europe. now that campaign focused on women wearing he jobs who are being discriminated against, which is a very sensitive topic here in france that cause such
6:21 pm
a fury. the french government actually protested against that campaign on the plug was pulled on it now at the time. so was furious, the thought that happened and said that france was the country that was exporting the moose racism. we're seeing that the french state is really behind this smear campaign, the censoring of the human rights campaign. and we are seeing that family. paris is currently the capital of western prejudice. now the commission has denied that fantasy has received any money, but all she has seen a written statement from 2015 shows that at least in 2012, the group received funding just over 70000 euros famous. so for, it's, paul didn't realize that it has any links to them, loosely, brotherhood. and it says it's the point is that the french me, this, this are taking the time to essentially the, legitimize the work that a dove. but it does appear that frances north,
6:22 pm
to back down on this particular topic. in fact, there is a suggestion that very soon feminist could find itself on the list of banned organizations. hearing from pfizer bell and tag said is covered vaccine is 100 percent effective for children over 12 according to its late stage trials. the phase 3 trials. the last last stage before getting approval for public use in the united states us down to the food and drug administration, which has said vaccinating children is a vital step and fighting the pandemic. vaccinating younger children against cove at 19 will bring us closer to returning to a sense of normalcy. the f. d. a approval process is though have attracted suspicion from the scientists calling themselves public health and medical professionals for transparency. they filed a freedom of information lawsuit to force the agency to reveal its decision making, but the f d. a says it allows you to release
6:23 pm
a fraction of the documents every month so that they can be redacted. while it's being calculated, that will mean the full truth will be released for another 55 years. the battle is now being fought out in court with the scientists pouring school on the f. d. a is excuses. the premise of transparency, the pile of illusions while it can conduct that intense review of 5 documents in a 108 days in the us for over 20000 days to make these documents available to the public. federal government shields fight from liability, gives it billions of dollars makes americans take its product, but won't let you see the data supporting the product, safety and efficacy. who does the government work for? and dr. from the group, the father law suit told us the lack of transparency at the f. d. a decrease is public trust. this is a major breach of public health ethics and will, will only further undermine the trust of the public in the regulatory process. and
6:24 pm
in the vetting process for these vaccines, they gave a sort of pretense that i don't know, it's going to take a long time to make photocopies and to review the pages. but the f d a was able to move very, very quickly in dealing with all of this documentation. when it came to deciding whether the vaccine should receive full approval or not, they continue to drag their feed. one has to wonder what it is in that data that they may not want independent researchers or the general public to have access to. i don't know why, why the company wouldn't want to be as transparent as possible in order to increase the trust. trust of a general public in the product that they have developed. and i certainly don't know why they would cooperate in, in a project like that of keeping very relevant information from,
6:25 pm
from the view of the, of the public. so we'll have to see and wait. we'll have to wait and see what it shows, but the fact that they are so reluctant to release, it's just to me that there may be interesting findings. once we get that information from lanes defense chief as want of a massive increase in us strategic bomber activity around russia's borders, including particularly disturbing drills, testing nuclear weapons use. so again, showing grew, made the revelation at talks with his chinese counterpart. and of course, the story is ortiz, dawn quarter, it looks like both russia and china are ready for deeper cooperation when it comes to mutual defense. and that's because the united states, as posturing itself as a military full of both powers. i mean, it's no secret that china isn't happy about american naval operations in the south china sea, or washington's claim that taiwan is separate from the mainland. as for russia,
6:26 pm
it looks like the u. s. is taking a more nuclear approach. let's take a listen to what the russian ministry of defense had to say. whether this is, were due this month during the u. s. global thunder. strategic forces exercises 10 u. s. air for strategic bombers practice options of nuclear weapons use against russia almost simultaneously from western and eastern directions. based on what was spoken about at this meeting, it looks like the u. s. military aggression is actually bringing us, is actually bringing russia and china closer together. the chinese defense minister at the meeting said that the u. s. is using the same aggressive military actions against his country as it is against his russian counterpart. we did hear from the russian defense minister again, who outlined what some of those actions entailed admissions issued lucia records. a significant increase in the activity of us strategic bombing ation. in the past month, around 30 flights to the borders of the russian federation have been made, which is 2 and a half times more than in the same period last year. it's likely
6:27 pm
a joining of these 2 eastern powers wasn't exactly what washington expected to result from its increased nuclear posturing. either one of them is a serious is a force to be reckoned with for washington. but both of them together that could be a major obstacle for u. s. foreign policy. from a pentagon, unless michael maloof also suspects the u. s. didn't see russia and china's move coming. when you consider that, since the disasters pull out of afghanistan, the united states as once again, been trying to agitate on the, on the western front with, with nato and in the black sea area. and now in the, in the pacific, somehow to try and rectify it's abysmal failure. and after 20 years, an afghan. stan, and i'm afraid that the united states is beginning to overreact. and, and you cannot blame russia and china now to decide to band together and deal with
6:28 pm
this constant. irritant. i think that it is, it is a surprise, somewhat to washington, that the 2 have united and all that they're doing really is looking back on the good old days of the cold war when soviet union and, and china even though they were aligned with one another somewhat, there was an ability to play one off against the other. that's not going to happen today. i made record corona virus deaths in russia in the last week, scientists, it moscow's gone. the lay institutes are now testing a new nasal spray to combat the disease. the deputy head of the institute, which is also behind the sputnik ve covert job, told us why all means all needed in the drive to achieve had immunity. aah! village of when people gain immunity either after vaccination or illness, or even a mild form of the illness. after a job,
6:29 pm
there is heard immunity and it'll surely play its role. as soon as the population becomes immune will 1st and foremost overcome the viruses. lethality, even though it's more difficult to overcome transmissions. a typical problem for acute respiratory viral infections to not get sick is necessary to constantly condition immune system. as we do with the flow. of course, there may be problems with transmissions, but the most important goal for humanity now is to acquire collect of immunity and reduce mortality, and therefore reduce the burden on the health care sector. by lowering number of hospitalizations, the doctors combat the coat and provide care. so the length of infection is reduced . ha, it a lot of times which china is coping very well with the issue population density. there is so high yet. there is no cove. it represents any regulator. i'm a vaccine developer, but if you asked me, i said it's necessary to impose a general lockdown is not that inoculated people can't transmit the virus, but that they are tens, hundreds of times less likely to do so. if you introduce
6:30 pm
a lot down, there is no need to segregate society, but you want to share a lot of talking heads that have no knowledge in medicine of virology. or they have large audiences on a cap to late people with devious ideas, which at the same time, the voice of those professionals who work in the red zone, who really see how hard it is. how many people are dying. a vaccination helps assembly heard to a much lesser extent to my mind. it could popularize any vaccination process with any vaccines. we have no experience in mass vaccination of the adult population. we always vaccinating of protecting the child population. in the majority of cases, we happily vaccinate children, but we do not go to get the job ourselves. therefore it's naive to expect that the population will go to get vaccinated all at the same time. it's rather long and hard road where you need to explain show by example, we need specialists to speak ha.
