ah ah, russia vellows retaliation after germany expels to diplomats accusing the kremlin of ordering a murder on german soil 2 years ago. moscow dismisses the claim as bron less we've got live reaction all not coming off. so after years of flagging post says false. busy or misleading facebook admits in court thought it's much vaunted fact checks are actually opinion on jail for trying to protect young girls, denmark's former immigration minister against 2 months behind bars for separating

refugee child brides from their husbands. we debate the issue if they've been valid . married in another country, then it is not for us to split them up on the basis late and comply with lee the laws in that country. what we've done now is we've created 2 societies have a place there is to society for the emigrants, where they have that rules and then the society for essentially the white people who have that rules. ah, 11 at night here in moscow. my name's unit o'neill, thanks for choosing r t for your global news update. this are, let's get to it. moscow said it will retaliate after germany through or. busy 2 of its diplomats, some summoned the russian ambassador earlier on wittons thing comes after a berlin court convicted, a russian citizen. the murder, the presiding judge,

stated that moscow ordered the 2019 killing of a georgian national in the german capital mclean. the kremlin vere, mentally denies, or europe correspond. peter oliver can tell us more. the courtier and berlin ruled there to well sentenced vadim kasey cove to life, imprisonment for his role in the murder of zaman hunger fairly back in august of 2019 hunger really was shot dead in a central berlin park in provide and hunting down that sentence. the court said that the killing had been carried out at the behest of the russian government. this is something that moscow has denied since the arrest was made of cassy cove. now it prompted analynn burbock, the new german, 4 minister to summon the russian ambassador to the foreign ministry here and which she told him, but swelled to russian. diplomats would be being declared persona non grata. he's

a match in startling miss murder on behalf of the state as determined that quite a day represents a serious violation of german law and of germany sovereignty. the russian ambassador was informed that to members of the diplomatic step of the russian embassy were being declared undesirable. while murray's account of a spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry in moscow said that there would 100 percent be a reaction to the expulsion of these diplomats moscow again maintains they had nothing to do with the murder of hun. gosh, really now, he was a georgia passport holder of chechen descent and was wanted in russia on tara charges. he was here in germany with asylum status now he'd be wanted in moscow in connection believe to be directly responsible for the killing of almost 100 people in russia's north caucus region. he was also understood to be part of the planning for the 2010 moscow metro suicide bombings. now speaking more about this, the russian ambassador to add to germany said that the evidence that was presented

by the prosecution and the timing of this announcement were all politically motivated. the absurd thesis about the involvement of the russian federation in biscuit was never confirmed by convincing evidence to accept pseudo investigations and unsubstantiated statements of the biased 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. as yet to be in a thing, not even a phone call. yet between all of sholtes, the new german chancellor and russia's president vladimir putin. an awful lot to talk about his relations between moscow and berlin are strained at the moment between the future of the gnawed stream to gas pipeline, the ongoing situation regarding ukraine. and now the hun gosh, really case, certainly going to be a lot to discuss when those 2 leaders finally get in contact. i'm delighted to

welcome live on the program, no former greek ambassador until lamont lou need us. kristen thought blessed you're very welcome to the program, sir. hello, potentially damaging is this for relations between russia and germany, vladimir putin and olaf shows they haven't even had a chance to speak yet. already we have this diplomatic feed. i would be less dramatic than the russian a bunch of the reason the berlin was i have the impression that berlin is receiving instructions from washington on this issue with us, not forget that washington has expelled very many russian diplomats. we must almost take, we went almost take into consideration that 2 days ago to berlin stopped the pipeline and connecting russia with germany,

the stream to which shows that a berlin is going to follow instructions from washington to be tough on, on, on moscow, which is quite unfortunate, particularly after the discussions that took place between the biden and, and to put in a few days ago, yet, germany's new foreign minister anna lena burbock, has quickly adopted a pretty hawkish stance on russia just yesterday telling sir a gallop roth that russia mustn't quote, violate the territorial sovereignty of ukraine. does it look like she's deliberately firing up tensions? i don't think that it's that it's her that she's doing it. i think that she's getting the instructions from my washington. because i don't think that in germany

would, would like it's such a critical face to create such an issue with, with russia. but of course germany needs a washington support particularly these are you covered with now? russia thing, it's going to retaliate and buster. do you expect about to be just a mirror response expelling to diplomats here or could this further? no, no, i can't do that. that's what happens when one country expels to diplomats or to russia. diplomats most cool retaliate. so with the same way europe is in the midst, as you well know, of an energy crisis. russia is the contents biggest oil and gas supplier. wouldn't know be a good time to improve relations when you've got this german government in only a week and power rather than destroy any hopes of a good relationship. they should have done that

a long time ago. they should not have taken sanctions against russia, and we must never forget, never forget how the west it betrayed the soviet union then and 1990. when they agreed to the re unification of germany under the condition that nato would not be expended. and we have seen how the west has violated this. this agreement that was done was the gentlemen's agreement. that was violated in the worst way by the west. just the word on the case itself and buster, in his ruling, the german judge said state organs of the central government of the russian federation took the decision to liquidate the victim for a direct language that drake definitive do you think they can really know that for sure that it was state involvement here. i don't think so. i don't think so as

these, these are these things. first of all, this, like you should know this of the, of this ga might have been a person differences that are all these gangs is my peers that are working there. it might not, it might have nothing to do with the politics. so i did not think that they could do that as a german court could find the a direct link with government authorities, but i don't want to interfere in, in the justice of germany. absolutely. or to sharing your view on thank you for doing so on the program today. former crick ambassador and diplomat. lini dusk. kristen populace many thanks. thank you sir. facebook users may have to reassess the information. they have been getting from the sites after its parent company, meta admitted in court,

that so called fuck checks are based merely in my opinion. the revelation came during a legal battle initiative by journalist after his post worth liked of misleading. picking up enough, rti southgate taylor towns out the famous fact checkers who are busy labeling things false poverty, false misleading. i've 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 bay slapped putney full sticker on one of his post. so he sued for defamation because facebook where he spent millions of dollars on legal fees over the years, it got creative this time and claimed that front check because don't decide what's false. so not based on fact, what to ridiculous idea, but on their opinion. hence the title, fact checkup i'm because opinion in america is sacred. you gone through 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 check has a very long leash so matter identifies potential misinformation, for fact checkers to review and rate. it leaves the ultimate determination whether information is false so misleading to the fact checkers. and though 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 dot com. instead, you'll learn about how they interview thought, says and consult data and 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 users worldwide. one, very pleased, after all, many of them had probably used these facts when arguing with their friends. and now it's turned out they were just quoting some random person's opinion about

embarrassing railing, so that campaigning for faith may not be let off the hook. court filing. facebook admits its fact checkers, don't check facts. his facebook admitted here that it's fact checks are not really fact checks 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 o peds or editorials. also, facebook or fax it 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 is giving people a voice, especially donald trump. 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 really people's, 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's 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 can 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 jack is false and pressing you see how that one unfolds more analysis, more insight into the facebook revelations. just a click away for that and plenty more besides head over to r t dot com. but this is our team to national after the break this story about harry potter or 3rd on the great trans backlash. no book or movie this time though, just a whole lot of abuse on social media. think look ah

ah ah ah, london's love polls, particularly when poles further a certain political agenda when polling has a checkered history as of late the last 2 election cycles tell us as much, should we put much stock in to polling any more if so, then why i

owe 16 minutes into the program. welcome back. a clash of cultures has seen denmark's x immigration minister jailed anger. steinberg was sentenced to 2 months behind bars for illegally separating refugee couples. back in 2016 under danish law. couple 10. murray. from the age of 18, but during the migrant crisis, girls as young as 15 who had legally married in their home countries arrived in denmark. the vent minister ordered the young wives to be separated from their husbands. a danish court rule that was on lawful us, the decision was made without consideration of individual circumstances. miss stolberg say she was only trying to protect children and as no regrets. yes,

minette. yeah, cuz i see it. yeah. i can only see that i am very, very surprised by despair. dick and it is, as it were, the only scenario i had not prepared for it for way because i thought it was completely unrealistic. mean, but here we are and i take my punishment and they do it without bending my neck. oh no. oh boy, agnes said, oh no, no, there is nothing over that. so i mean, simply one has a moral and compassionate obligation to protect the girls, and that was what i did while our guests shared their views. and whether the danish former ministers, actions were warranted, is absolutely justified what she did. it just sink is the morality of a country that says that it's wrong to separate people in the case where one of them is a child drives and the fact that we are making that had to stop them out. some black should be something we celebrate. not throw ministers in prison for if they've been validly married in another country,

then it is not for us to split them up on the basis that they don't comply with the, the laws in our country. that needs to be pragmatism. but where there has been a marriage that has been sanctioned under the law of another country, then there is already existing provision to, to actually, except and 2, legitimize some of those marriages and marriages, for example, under sharia law. and what we've done now is we've created to society subway, who is the society to be immigrants, where they have the rules and then the society for essentially the white people who have their rules. i think that is not acceptable as it should be. a universal sense of morality, who should be universal set of laws thought. i mean, at the end of the day, we can't impose our own laws on the rest of the world. what labels is been controlled, immigration in order to destroy europe, that they're not bothered about the damage that started to civil society. and they

want to find a way of attacking any politician that attempts to stop people coming out of the border. hello. then today we are perfectly happy not to port illegal aided were perfectly happy to take on foreign criminals and the idea of what comes to jail, the midst of that sentence to stop it robin jail. the people responsible is obviously borrowing. well, it does seem very severe, um, but if i it sends the message, the immigration ministers around the world have got to be more careful about the way they make decisions and to act lawfully, then it, he has a welcome and a se, if every time and immigration minister made an illegal decision on the being quite a number of those other rights over the years or if they were sent to jail or if it would really. busy change things quite dramatic. kit is a very, very worrying trend. this criminalization of politics. well,

what you do with your potency is robin debate. them. you attempt to find a criminal offense to convict of all the idea that you're not strong to take action against people that are buried. children, i think, really just shows a moral bankruptcy if this whole immigration debates. meanwhile, another prominent woman who's also landed herself in trouble is hurry potter, author j. k. rowling cheese. infuriated the transgender community by criticizing police and scotland for allowing rape suspects to identify as women. that's even if they haven't legally or physically change gender. seeing only that they are female rollin channel george or wells 1984 novel on twitter to make her point where is peace, freedom of slavery. ignorance is trans. the meanest individual horrid to you is a woman. or many people have shared rawlings concerns seeing the new approach will clearly distort crime statistics and thereby render them useless. but the author's

face, they heavy backlash from activists and people on social media 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 you almost said about trance people then? rapists feels like you appro, it's is a wrong. he a baby. and it's not the 1st time rawlings been rounded on by trump. campaigners back in 2020. she was accused of trans phobia. after ridiculing an article but use the phrase, people who menstruate instead of women that prompted protest outside our hosts and death threats to the writer and says she has nothing against transgender people

themselves. earlier, my colleague knew harvey spoke with the director of the project. keep prison, single sex, who believes a dangerous precedent has been set in scotland. 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. some men are just exploiting

a loophole here to get themselves into female prisons. and that is great danger to the family, make that, 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. know the story to bring you to day of part of the use pushed to go green on, consign fossil fuels to history. the european commission, how suggested an end to all long term natural gas contracts after 2049, they use them. if this is gas and hydrogen networks for bland and developed in a integrated manner, avoiding lock in and standard assets and long term gas contracts should not extend

by 2049. however, the e. u commissioner, also one of the risks to europe's gas supplies, if particularly cold winters like this one, are seen. european energy price is absurd since autumn due to market volatility rising more than $6.00 times compared to the same period. last year. russia, europe, largest supplier has repeatedly spoken in favor of long term deals, saying they bring much needed stability subs. no good if i knew that was to this, if they made mistakes, we talked about this with the previous european commission or of its activities were aimed at containing long term contracts for gas supplies, about giving priority to exchange trading. and it turns out this policy was wrong in russia 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 purchase upon it. and the electricity bill

in europe are skyrocketing along with the natural gas price. just give you an example here in spain, they are approaching an all time record despite government assurances to bring rates back to 2018 levels. in fact, the cost of a megawatt hour is forecast to be $7.00 times higher than last december. and electricity builds in spain in november. we're up 50 percent compared to a year earlier. people across the country are feeling it in their pockets. a mental it. hm. yeah, well it valerie's movement, it changes every tune, but if you have a sorry that only cover certain things in the proxy and everything else. if you how 500 euros and spend t 100 on electricity, he barely have anything left over. what are people going to do them in the if i were in charity, i would eat people in government, a low salary and see how they call it very low. julie's reached this level because no one regulates it or go glad of. okay, of course if you pay a lot for electricity and charge declines, hello price to fact he

a lot. if you charge lions 15 euros and you have to pay ran to electricity cetera. what do you have left being so we're struggling to make ends meet, but hopefully things will be fixed. good. i mean i get them. we got the thoughts on this all independent journalist, lucre evey, he is of the belief. the decisions coming from brussels are only making the energy crisis worse unit would be completely crazy if they decided to suppress long term contracts for gas, or to try to suppress gas b, 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 the same 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. formulate ones would be crazy to go that way? completely crazy. so this is really something which is trying to enjoy moscow or election polls actually useful in the post trump euro pundits love them, but are they accurate? crosstalk debates all love and more, next one. 0 right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's

profitable to sell food. that is fatty and sugary and salty and addicted is not at the individual level. it's not individual well power. and if we go on believing that will never change this obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the city epidemic? it's corporate. ah ah, ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter labelle,

london, love polls, particularly when polls further a certain political agenda, but polling has a checkered history. as of late the last 2 election cycles tell us as much, should we put much stock into polling anymore. it's so then why i cross talking the public mood. i'm joined by my guess, richard barrett's in gainesville. he is director of big data poll and in los angeles, we upon he and he is a strategic planning consultant and equity advisor, as well as an independent economic analyst. hard gentleman crossed up rules and effect. that means you can jump in any time you want. and i would appreciate it. all right, let's go to richard 1st in gainesville, you're the master of polls. your polling is actually quite good, but your, your competitors and your peers are not nearly as up the snow. but before we talk about polling, richard in, you get a human touch the,

the touch of the public. here are we in a change environment right now because people think about change elections? because when i look at a lot of polling, i get the sense of what the establishment wants to find out to be they. they want to find out how people are thinking. but sometimes i think it's kind of been birth because of their assumptions may not be in tune with what people are actually really thinking. and maybe one of the reasons why polling is so off. what do you back? yeah, you know, i would characterize it more as an alarms are concerned, even pessimistic mood. that's what i, you know, as opposed to it being a, a big change election like away was a big change election. 2016 was a big change election. and in some ways, i guess you could even say for the democrats 2020 was, but this is a little bit different. what we, you know, the overall theme, peter is that people expected something.
