ah, it is a moment off at 7 pm on wednesday. this is our t international life from moscow. we do kick off this hour with some breaking news for you. germany has summoned the russian ambassador and thrown out to diplomats after our russian national was convicted of moda. berlin as accused moscow of ordering the 2019 killing of georgia national inborn, lynn. it's a claim the kremlin vehemently denies. well, let's learn more crossing live now to berlin. peter all about joining us here with the breaking news. peter. the german chancellor has only been in office for a week so far. he's already got a dispute with russia on his hands. can you? can you talk us through what's happened? what do we know so far? well, a number of fronts where berlin and moscow on see an eye to eye at the moment,

but this one emerging on wednesday as the, the front runner. in that case, it involves the sentencing on wednesday of a russian man to life in prison. for the murder of, of 40 year old zelman, hon gosh, really in 2019. he was shot dead in a park in the center of the german capital. now, the court in passing down that sentence on wednesday said that his killing had been at the behest of the russian state. this is something that moscow has vehemently denied continuously since the arrests were made back in 2019. we've heard from the russian foreign minister, so i think upon we've heard from the russian ambassador to berlin, a surgeon, a chai of who said that the evidence that had been presented in this case by the prosecution, had been purely political. the absurd thesis about the involvement of the russian federation in this case was never confirmed by convincing evidence to accept pseudo

investigations and unsubstantiated statements of the bias media such as belin, cat, an insider, and other speculations is at least strange the time chosen for the announcement of the verdict is hardly accidental. obviously, someone is interested in overshadowing the dialogue between russia and the new german government. well after that statement was issued mismatch, i have found himself summoned to the foreign ministry where the new german 4 minister annually in a bad bulk told him that 2 of the diplomats in the russian diplomatic service would be declared persona non grata. basically they're going to be kicked out of the country in response to that though, we've already heard from the russian foreign ministry in moscow, mary, as a kind of a, their spokesperson saying that there would $100.00 beset percent be a reaction from moscow to this. what we have heard as well from annually in a babel can the way that she, she talked about her meeting with the russian ambassador, was to describe the killing of mr. anguish, really as

a violation of german law. she called it an assassination on german soil. what we've also heard from her though is the that she held a phone conversation with the russian foreign minister said gala for off on tuesday . and that during that conversation, they expressed the, the need for further contact between moscow and the new government here in berlin. that needs to be honest and open exchanges that need to take place that are in the interests of both nations. i'm peter updating us with the latest breaking news. her naughty international. thank you. facebook users may have to reassess the information they've been getting from that side after its parent company matter admitted in court. that so called fact checks are based merely on opinion. the revelation came during a legal battle initiated by a journalist after his posts were flagged as misleading and being up the story for

us right now ought ease. saskia taylor turns out the famous fact checkers who are busy labeling things false partly false, misleading, have actually been a bit loose with well, the facts. facebook yet again found itself in court. this time up against to john list. he didn't like the day slapped at partly full sticker on one of his posts. so he food for defamation. i'm because facebook where he spent millions of dollars on legal fees over the years. it got creative this time and claimed that front checkers don't decide what's false. so not based on fact, what ridiculous idea, but on their opinion. hence the title fact checker. and because opinion in america is sacred, you can't sue it. it's a very, very nifty loophole. but just to really escape any liability whatsoever. facebook double down on how it gives it fact checkers a very long leash though meta identifies potential misinformation, for fact checkers to review and great. it leaves the ultimate determination whether

information is full so misleading to the fact checkers and so meta has designed its platforms so that fact checker ratings appear next to content that the fact checkers have reviewed and rated. it does not contribute to the substance of those ratings. now, you won't find any of these details in the giant fact checking section on facebook talk. com. instead, you'll learn about how they interview full says and consult day to look for facts, you know, to really drive home the point about how it's all based on opinion. i think some of it's 3000000000 uses worldwide, want, sorry, pleased. after all, many of them had probably used these facts one arguing with that friends. and now it's turned out they would just quoting some random person's opinion. i've been embarrassing really, so that campaigning for facebook not to be let off the hook. court filing, facebook admits its fact checkers. don't check facts. is facebook admitted here that it's fact checks are not really facts at all,

but merely opinion assertions also by facebook clement, it's labels constitute opinions than doesn't that make it a publisher. facebook, your opinion piece is not exempt from being fact checked, even when they are clearly labeled as op eds or editorials. also, facebook are fact check labels cannot be false or defamatory because they can see she protected opinion, even though we present them. as fact. my question though is, what does facebook need these opinionated fact checkers for anyway, after all, over the years, it proved it's committed to free speech. it loves giving people a voice, especially don't come. it's dedicated to openness, transparency, and of course, democracy. i mean, it says all the time your democracy can't tolerate the speech of people. i'm not sure what kind of democracy it is. i do believe in giving people more access to information and more access to connect with one another and not reserving those as tools for some small number of lead people. i don't feel comfortable at all saying they don't get to have a voice because i don't agree what they said,

our ability to know what is misinformation is itself in question and i think reasonably so fact checkers. facebook favorite friends protecting it from defamation, setting it free for accountability, someone to hide behind and times of trouble, but most importantly, always ready to get their opinion. facebook has found themselves back against the wall and if they try to cling to the idea that they are fact checking in court, they're going to lose. and not only is it going to cost them big time, but it's an open the door to a flood of similar law search in the near future. and it could be more than they can handle. i think they're hoping that by admitting that fact, jack just means opinion jack, when facebook puts a label on there, hoping to get out of this lawsuit without harm. and then just sink the story into the daily fountain of news events and hope people forget about it. in due time and in the, in the future, you'll see changes in their labels. they'll stop using the word fact and they'll

come up with some other way to express it where they still exercise their dictatorship right to control speech on their platform. but it won't be a false presentation like the word fact check is false. well, there's a plenty more analysis and insight into these are facebook revelations? the revelations just keep on coming. you can read about it, add more dots. he dot com for now in the program, 10 minutes past the hour. here at moscow, a clash of cultures so seen, denmark's ex immigration minister jailed as she was sentenced to 2 months for illegally separating refugee couples. back in 2016. under danish law couples can only get mary off to the age of 18. but during the migrant crisis, girls as young as 15 who had legally married in their home countries started arriving in denmark. that that minister ordered the young wives to be separated from their husbands. a danish court ruled that was unlawful as the decision was made without consideration of individual circumstances or inca storybook says she

was only trying to protect children and she has 0 regrets. yes, ma'am. i see. i can only say that i am very, very surprised by despair. dick entities, as it were, the only scenario i had not prepared for the fall because i thought it was completely unrealistic. but here we are, and i take my punishment and i do it without vending. my boy, agnes, i don't know there is nothing bad. so i mean, simply one has a moral and compassionate obligation to protect the girls, and that was what i did. well, we invited some guests to discuss whether the danish ex ministers decision was justified or not. to me, nobody is about the law is as simple as that, and she has been only contents for 2 months, not for 2 years. and we also know that she will not go to the present. you can maybe get us trap on, on her leg, you know, and that is,

that would be that i think the lessons learned from this is obviously there is a lack of proportionality on the day the soonest. i but also i think on behalf of your tool, because we're talking about 23 people. so i don't think our sentence, most of the girls who are in this 24 cases give are 1617. so they were not child. right. like 5 years, 6 years, 7 years and more girls were already married with these campers and to separate those people. i think that if she wanted to do something human, she should have gone to the court and some come pretend expert who had given her some good advice. but she didn't do that. i think they didn't type in cert town or they, they sent us there is a good time to check that i just read why she might go to the

wrong in my food. and i got members also having a common time since which is contr aging. since i may have been coming to denmark, i didn't know that they didn't know what the damage became. as the silence of didn't know the loss of the land. they were renting for their lives in the country . they were seeking asylum somewhere and it came to denmark. and if she was so worried about them, then she, the minister would have been something more humane. talk to them and explain to them. well, i think if you go by what she said, she said she is defending diverse families are protecting child buys. it didn't have the material one day or one year. he said, just a matter of subjecting those poor people who are seeking asylum and under government and the minister is subjecting them to come unbearable pressure. and

that is, i think personally for me is absolutely terrible. so the main reason people come from sherry, i'd say to price a denmark and the u. k. is the all for each make sanctions which literally grave on my so you never passing me today or beach or on the extensions and then maybe more bearable. meanwhile, another prominent woman who is also under the self in trouble is harry potter or. busy 3rd, j. k. rowling. she's infuriated the transgender community by criticizing police in scotland for allowing rape suspects to identify as women. that's even if they haven't legally or physically changed the gender or routing channel. george orwell is 1984 on twitter to make a point. where is peace, freedom of slavery. ignorance is trans. the meanest individual, horrible to you,

is a woman law, feminist activists are share. rawlings concerns saying the new approach will distort crime statistics and thereby render them useless. but the author's face a heavy backlash for her views. vast majority of sexual souls are committed by men who don't identify as anything other than men. perhaps you might consider using your public profile to come by this. instead, you created an entire universe filled with wonderful characters, fantastical beasts magic and wander, but can't fathom. the trans people exist. you've gone downhill from the inspiring woman who wrote harry potter from her car. why does it sound like yom upset about trans people than rapists? hills like you pro, it is a wrong here. they it's not the 1st time rawlings been rounded on by trans activists. back in 2020, she was accused of trans phobia. after ridiculing an article that used the phrase,

people who menstruate instead of women, while it prompted protest serrato soccer house, or the writer assist, she has nothing against transgender people. earlier, my colleague niel harvey spoke with the director of the project. keep prisons, single sex who believes is a dangerous practice to substitute biological sex with gender identity. i think this is another example of institutional catcher of our public and private institutions by the transgender lobby. the intention was to then be able to roll out to other sectors. so i think the capturing of the criminal justice system, whether it's crime statistics or it's the prison service, has been a very key tactical move within the crime statistics. we know that sex is an incredibly important variable for analyzing the causes of crime and the response to crime. so if you substituting gender identity to biological sex,

you're really messing up the data right at the beginning and you can never formulate an appropriate response. so men are just exploiting a loophole here to get themselves into female presence. and that is great danger to the family makes. i mean, how do you feel about that side of the argument? once you start pretending that biological sex doesn't matter, then you start opening up spaces to males to men into boys on the basis of what they believe about themselves on the basis of gender identity. and that puts women at risk as j. k. rowling says, this is fundamentally, it's about protecting the rights of women and girls is about protecting the safety of women and girls. you're going to read more about jake, a routing upsetting the transgender community online dotty dot. com for means on your program returns in just a moment. ah

ah. i and i dream shaped bankers are those with

dares sinks. we dare to ask oh well it's good, happy with us into the 2nd half of the program we go. consumer prices are hitting new highs in america, inflation, believe it or not, reaching a near full decade peak earlier this year. and recent media advice, where americans is to spend their money to spend the savings before that money is d valued, well, hasn't gone down to well, especially among those already strapped for cash. everything costs more, the grocery stores of pretty much everything universally costs more. everything's got up gas. ah, food, everything. so it's not good. i'm a small, you know,

black home business owner and all the prices are my products. i have a coffee shop in brooklyn, in prime grand coffee. and like all the, all the beans are more expensive and it's harder to get like even little products like napkins and cups and all those stuff. so it's kind of bad, you know, with prices on almost all goods and services rising. some media have come up with some advice that isn't going down too well. they say copy inflation, ravage argentina and simply blow all your money before it evaporates in high inflation economy. money that sits in the bank is losing value each day, those $100.00 and deposit by a little bit less. as a result, many argentines spend their paychecks as soon as they receive them, cards in a way, weeks worth of groceries in a single shopping trip. even if some of it excess me chicken fish will sit in the freezer for months. so won't burg offers asked to spend more. that's as consumer inflation costs of jump 6.8 percent the highest and 41 years. it's not the only

example in a recent washington post article, a leading columnist, aptly suggested. not expecting very much, rather than leaving constantly on the verge of throw in the fit and risk and taken it out on the la whelmed service, struggling shall pony late arrive and delivered it. people will do ourselves a favor by consciously lowering expectations. a recent article from locks recommended reducing holiday requests in order to not feel the crunch of by nomics . the mission to my last with more intention is achievable for everyone, especially aflac shop. is it incumbent and americans the wealthiest people in the well to come back? come and be critical of their consumption. many c biden's policies as being directly to blame job. i didn't seems bored of explaining how he sees it, not too interested in defending his actions. if we were all going out and have lunch together. and i said, let's ask whoever's in the next table no matter how. we're what restaurant really

haven't had them explained the supply chain to us. we can understand what's what we're talking about at this point. 60 percent of americans blame joe biden for the crisis. but mainstream media seems to disagree and tell them they should blame themselves, not the people leading the country. there's nothing that upsets american voters more than having to pay forever. higher prices that are going up dramatically by to mr. trisha can try to blame the energy companies in private. this is all they want, but it's all happening under his watch. and i expect that the democrats are going to pay a very serious price for this and the next election, if we make it that long, we don't know what inflation is going to be at. by that time, i'm very much afraid that, that we're going to be facing a reckoning of without any kind of historical precedent and anybody's lifetimes.

as part of the use push to go green and consign fossil fuels to history, the european commission has suggested an end to all long term natural gas contracts from after 2049. say you sam. and if this is gas and hydrogen networks, philip bland, and developed in ne, integrated manner, avoiding lock in and standard assets and long term gas contracts should not extend pipe thank 49. however, the u commissioner also warned of the risks to europe's gas supplies. if there's a particularly cold winter, but european energy prices have served this year due to market volatility rising more than 6 times compared to this time last year. russia, europe's largest gas supplier has repeatedly spoken in favor of long term deals saying they bring much needed stability. subst no good it. when you that boosted issue, they made mistakes. we talked about this with the previous european commission or

of its activities were aimed at curtailing long term contracts for gas supplies, giving priority to exchange trading. and it turns out this policy was wrong rusher is ready to work to stabilize the world energy market. but this activity should be built on a commercial basis, taking into account the interests of old buttons happens live. well, electricity bills in europe are skyrocketing along with the price of natural gas in spain than our approaching. and all time record, despite government assurance is to bring them all back to 2018 levels. now the cost of a megawatt hour is forecast to be $7.00 times higher than last december, a spanish electricity bills and november over up, well 50 percent compared to a year earlier. and people across the country are really starting to feel it. i'm yes, let me. well, it voyeurism human, it changes everything. if you have a, sorry that only cover certain things, it affects you and everything else. if you how, 500 euros and spend 300 on electricity,

he barely have anything left over. what are people going to do? if i were in church, i would if people in government a low salary and see how the cope look shawl is reached this level because no one regulates it. glad albert again, of course, if you pay a lot for electricity and charge your clients a low price, it affects you a lot. if you charge lions 15 euros and you have to pay round electricity cetera, what do you have left? you say we're struggling to make ends made, but hopefully things will be fixed. good. i mean again, but i just spoke with independent journalist luke river. he thinks the decisions coming from brussels are actually for me making the energy crisis worse. you. that would be completely crazy. if they decided to suppress long term contracts for gas or to trying to suppress gas being a fossil fuel, you know, to, to be discarded. this is wrong. why? because they choose their renewables, wind energy, and solar energy. these are intermittent. so if you're billed when turbines you

need to st capacity in gas turbines, when there is no wind, they will take over. so you absolutely need gas. if you bet on renewables, everybody understands that a long term contract brings you better prices over a long term and stability. it's the same for gas prices. i mean, the price of gas now on the spot market in europe is incredibly high. is it what europe wants? is it what mrs. fondling? once we would be crazy to go that way? completely crazy. so this is really something which is trying to enjoy moscow. i. let's give you a reminder about breaking news for you. this hour is just come in now the part number of minutes here at our t international germany has summoned the russian ambassador and thrown out to diplomat sa, through a russian national was convicted of murder of berlin. as accused moscow of ordering
