lady that lives over there has walking, one of the dogs says why you where again we still nothing. they take it off it. i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings. we certainly wouldn't have the number of doors will health organization warns of the rapidly spreading omicron variance of cov, it could lead to high death rates unless we're lucky. we speak to the europe, director about the crisis. heavily armed men surround libyan government offices in tripoli with militia threatening to scope for the upcoming presidential election. the 1st such vote in the ravished african country for 7 years. absurd and worrying . that's how most goes described. german allegations of a kremlin contracted merger in berlin,

vowing to retaliate the expulsion of 2 russian diplomats and a frosty future. the you plans to drop all long term natural gas contracts after the 2049, despite concerns that much warranty, green alternatives wont be able to meet your pin. and if you need ah hi that great. have you company mid day here in the russian capital? this is ancy militants have surrounded a number of key sites in the libyan capital. tripoli, that's ahead of the country's presidential election. it's 1st since 2014. here is an, a verified video of the presidential council building. you can see mainly visualize that combat vehicles carry armed men, photos, and videos coming. some tripoli also show fighters outside the offices of libya's

inter him government of national unity and videos are circulating that appeared to show military vehicles patrolling the city. although artie has not yet been able to verify independently those videos earlier on discuss the situation in libya with all corresponded interest on off the poor people of libya and triplet, because they've had the facia of turmoil over the last decade or so. m and beyond. and it's, it's not over, is it yet more unrest? what is causing it? well, you're absolutely right. there's more and rest 3 militia groups who are trying to take power inside of tripoli who are trying to disrupt the upcoming elections. and this is, i have to say is only the latest in the violence that has had the country and it's tied grip. so essentially we've had to throughout the past couple of weeks, couple of months, we've had numerous reports and pictures coming out of the country as armed groups were trying to capture local t v stations as heavy artillery was brought to the capitol. everything that we're

seeing there right now, you know, the government internationally recognized government going into hiding local militias and warlords, again having their se, unhindered and unhampered, apparently in the, in the capitol. hampering the work of the internationally recognized government, preventing the political process from happening. this all it is, it is causing some serious, you know, and will, horrifying, flashbacks, hold away to 2011, one of cause more. mcduffy was ousted with the help of cause of nato and the international community and everything that is going on there right now with all the in fighting with all the, you know, these warlords, what wrestling in its essence, it's a result of a power struggle of vying for power and even even if these woods are used as proxies are used as pawns. so what we're seeing right now is that the international community, they ended, the rule of law and libya, ended libya, stability. they created a state of lawlessness. they created very, very fertile ground for all this and fighting to happen. and there was a bit of

a low in the past years, libya has stayed out of the headlines, of course, but it seems that right now the elections, the upcoming elections, they have triggered this new wave of violence. it is very threatening to the political process that the international community has been trying to going for so long. and it really shows that they, they, well, they try to do nation building. they destroyed the country with their bombings and with the, with all the, with all the meddling. and right now the situation shows how little control, if any, the international community has a decade on a decade since more market duffy felt a little more just to break down the what's going on there right now, this little qu are the man the, the front man of the call is called sallow body and he's quite infamous. he's a bit of a colorful figure. he's militiaman, he's one of the few people who actually buried my market. duffy who fought against him. so he was the international community's favorite back in 2011. since then he was put on a multiple sanctions list of the u. s. sanctioned list,

the un sanctioned list. and the, the for the very same thing he's doing right now for trying to stop for basically disrupting the political process. so he's saying he has said that essentially he believes that the election is rigged in favor of the incumbent prime minister who went into hiding. but if you look at how things are unfolding, the only person to benefit from it is really the prime minister because he is not seen as a favorite in the elections. in fact, he is in, as an underdog, he is a very much upset by safe the duffy, the son of more mcduffy, as it is widely believed, that the hearts and minds of the libyan people are with the son who came back from exile. who before that was and remained in captivity rebel captivity, he was tortured, had several fingers chopped off and still despite all the exile, despite all this, he apparently still he carries a lot of political weight. so, so right now again, it looks that libya is dangerously close to plunging into yet another circle of

violence. and alice and insight into libya's decade on christ is just a click away for you that and a whole host of other stories available at r t dot comp. the world health organization is wanting that they only chrome variances now spreading out an unprecedented rates. one of the senior officials said that fully vaccinated people are still at risk, and the hospitals across the world could be overwhelmed with infections rising exponentially, doubling every $2.00 to $3.00 days. i have never been more concerned than i am tonight. not just about the u. k. but about the world on the ground has currently been registered in more than 70 countries. among the worst effect it is the u. k. it's just recorded its highest number of daily covey cases. since the start of the pandemic, almost 80000 new infections with only from accounting for almost 5000 of them.

earlier european commission president on the line predicted only com will be the dominant current of ours farrington, the e u by mid january. of course, on the silly patrol i spoke with the w, i chose regional director for europe and click so let me begin with the thing on everyone's mind right now. all micron, of course, with time, people really want life to be back to normal. but now, boom, there you have it, we've got this new strain. countries are closing their borders again. there are new measures introduced or re introduced. it's getting more difficult for people to travel. so how much more do we know about our micron at this point? well this is the optimistic note that we know much more. and we have the doors and about all mcclellan, it's to, it's the latest variant. it's spreading much more faster, but i always tell we're not in the business of fighting one variant when the

business of fighting all variance and stu, delta is dominant. what we need to do is to implement, well, they call faith pandemic stabilizers. number one, increase vaccination coverage, address the vaccine hesitant people. number do boost boost, boost the best protection against overcome number city. double. the number of people waiting marks indorse only 4 to 8 percent in europe and central age of the people already must endorse. number 4, ventilate, particularly in classrooms, keep the schools open and fife, implement new treatment protocols, and overall international solidarity. let's look at south africa botswana. they did the right thing. they did. w recommends immediately and transparently sharing and what happened. they could somehow, these incentivized, because flights would hold it, stopping flights. closing bo,

this is not going to hold the vidas. well, mr. cook, you mentioned the, among the 5 things vaccination, but how valid are the concerns that vaccines might prove ineffective against on the crime? where we know as of to date, that vaccines are still effective for the 1st or the 2nd dose may be little bit less, but it recovers with a cert dosed. so the booster becomes very, very important. well, on the european union, specifically, we've seen a range of different approaches. and speaking of strategies are locked down for the vaccinate full lockdown different rules on how long vaccines last. why aren't we seeing a more uniformity from the block in particular, in uniform? it has been growing over time, for example, the joint procurement of vaccines was quite a silver lining. but i think the point that it's still really aleck off uniformity,

what they called political here. it is, and it confuses the people. it doesn't help for the trust. but from my perspective, i'm looking brother to the 53 countries and that's why dublin was advocating to establish a bond european health senate council at the high level to half uniformed in policy . but ultimately still health is a national competency. it's a decision by the country speaking of sputnik v, a r t, we've heard from a number of experts that the issue has been politicized. is that true anyhow? house including vaccines. go beyond politics. we should never take into account the country of origin. i myself, i've been working 8 years in the country. i'm very well aware of the huge intellectual and manufacturing capacity, particularly in vaccines, shall know politics over there,

i shed the optimism of the present alteration said the nation, that this debris to emergency use. this thing for sputnik will be there soon in october. this year, the legal documents are signed by the russian investment development fund. and in the 1st quarter of next year, there will be a follow up on the approval by the individual, headquartered ones at the da she is being admitted, which would happen before end of the year. okay, that sir brings you up today. sorry that the phone thing was get some more news after the fact. ah ah no. when i was sure seemed wrong when i just don't know,

you want to see how disdain becomes the advocate an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. his on offense, very dramatic development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with

oh, come back. russia says it will retaliate after germany through out 2 of us. diplomats on wednesday expulsions came after a quarter, found a russian citizen guilty of the murder of a chechen man in berlin in 2019 adding. he had acted on behalf of moscow. that's a claim. the criminal rejects a correspondent peter oliver reports of to russian diplomats have been declared persona non grata by the new german foreign minister anna lena bear bach in one of her 1st duties. in that role, it all relates back to the sentencing of a russian national, named as variety and kathy cove to life, imprisonment for the murder. back in august of 2019 of delhi. man, hon gosh heavily in the fact that at that killing was well described directly as being at the behest of the russian,

stayed by the court that did the sentencing. now moscow denies any involvement in the killing of high gosh, really, who was shot to death in a pearl in park right in the center of the german capital. back in the, the summer of 201938 tractor. the defendant denied the crime, particularly denied being part of the russian security apparatus, or having been commissioned by any security apparatus at all. for there is not a single piece of evidence, and the court also admitted there isn't any evidence that will prove this. there's only circumstantial evidence, this prompted on the line of bare bog to call the russian ambassador to the foreign ministry and which he was informed that 2 of his diplomats would be going home. these are much in startling mass 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 wasn't formed. but to members of the diplomatic step of the russian embassy were being declared undesirable. i hope there will be no escalation because

in a moment we don't really need peace read on me, or there's no comical crisis. there's covered crisis. when we look at the rhetoric software for a mystery on the nobel book, i'm a bit afraid she wants to escalate the conflict. i all go to the russian side route or try to search dialogue as far as possible and that we find her oh transshipment. maybe it will be good. a missile, jim, mr. charles, come into a dialog directly. model for a ministry in moscow has issued a response very as a card over their spokesperson saying that there would be a reaction from moscow to the expulsion of those 2 diplomats moscow denied any involvement in the killing of han. gosh really. and he was a wanted terrorist in russia. he had asylum status here in germany. but moscow had been seeking him in order to,

to prosecute him in connection with the death of almost 100 people directly. that they say he was involved in those death in russia's north caucus region. also he's accused of being part of the planning and plotting for the 2010 moscow metro suicide attacks. now, the russian ambassador released a statement shortly after the si sentencing saying that he believed that both the evidence that was provided from the prosecution and the timing of the sentencing were politically motivated. 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, some one is interested in overshadowing the dialogue between russia and the new german government. the relationship between moscow and berlin is under some strain

at the moment whether it involves the future of nord stream to the situation surrounding ukraine. all this particular case in the expulsion of 2 russian diplomats following that sentencing all f shots, the new german chancellor and vladimir putin who yet to have a phone call. certainly they haven't met face to face yet, but when the to do there are certainly going to be a lot for them to talk about unless patrick hennington and chris boundary told us what they believe prompted the court decision and the expulsion of the russian diplomats. they were seeing a change in berlin from ne angel not to yos, didn't use social democrat wed coalition. i expect to take a harder attitude and she did in regards to russia. germany's come is coming on domains pressure from the united states and from its allied france. so i think we will see germany coming coming through on this or it's not the 1st time that we've seen courts make such a sweeping statement,

presumably of fact. but when you actually look what the provenance of the statement is, there's, there's not much evidence to draw that conclusion definitively anyway. seems like, you know, these days any time russia is involved, almost assumed that whatever the narrative is that's out there in the sort of public domain is probably based on fact is probably true. so we can just, we have license to go ahead and generalize that. the russian state is behind whatever the various plots are, and there are many of them in the last couple of years. now, of a sudden delegated and as you want to stand together, we'll continue to stand together against russia even jeremy with some of the areas that we don this made and noticed if he

needs a chunky daughter about their ability to influence other nations, french u. k. and even latin american and other countries in future than they went to hi, wrong cycle alone with members of your household, please, please, please, please. we're going to continue to fight with just need to do the russian must not be allowed in germany. you have to come and leave it to show also the anal enough asians, the yes actually in and out a the enough just in case you did miss the warning at the start of that video. those speeches, the paradise. they're not real. they created using deep fake technology parodies or not though they do reflect very serious obstacles r t d has faced the head of its launch. that is today. danny armstrong has details

. the journey to launch day has been the usual track through pressure and passive aggression from the self appointed defenders of democracy. i. e. rival, gym, and media. it's bad enough that putins voice sounds out across the internet. if it were not for one reliable german media outlet, dest spiegel kremlin owned outlets would dominate the german digital information space. in both the number of articles published in social engagement received. there is reason to believe that most of the traffic on our t channels is real and not acquired through purchased fake profiles. the thinly veiled disdain from rival gym and media outlets have come in a form of gallant cries to stop the so called moscow mouthpiece. and kremlin back putin propaganda, of course, that has nothing to do with our t deutsche. his popularity on a string of social media, where they consistently rank among the top most viewed channels as regards news and

politics. ah but it wasn't just rival outlets that ran. so the, his theory over r t deutsch, his rise through the media rankings. politicians got personal and launched attacks on arte employees framing them as perpetrators of this information and destabilizing democracy. those who work for odyssey have said good bye to critical and independent journalism and whether they want it or not. ards, the employees are part of the destabilization of democracy. this is not about the approval of a profane entertainment channel, but about e u wide access for putin propaganda and targeted dis information under the guise

of alternative journalism. and what goes up must come down, arte deutsche his ascent was yank back down to earth when youtube ban the channel from is platform with it, wiping out 600000 subscribers. now despite rumors that the ban was berlin, bat, former chancellor angle, a miracle denied that germany had influence you chiefs decision. as for r t, germany did not put any pressure on brussels or the decisions it made in germany. neither the federal government nor the state governments engaging meadows like that . so this fight or the people's best efforts, artie deutsch is primed and ready for action launching on air and launching a fresh assault on those old ratings and views rankings. mainstream media beware, and i can bring you some breaking news or there's just come in. the youtube has terminated the new r t d e channel it so happened on the day of the launch of ortiz broadcast in

germany. i think they, they started broadcasting about 5 hours ago. so and a good run or the reason given is a violation of you chief's terms of use will update you when more comes it is part of the ease of us to go green into consign fossil fuels to history. the urban commission is proposed ending all long term natural gas contracts. after the year 2049. they use sam, alex's gas and hydrogen networks, philip land, and developed in ne, integrated manner. avoiding lock in and standard assets and long term gas contacts should not extend by 2049. however, the e. u energy commissioner, one of the risks to europe's gas supplies, particularly cold wind, is like the one missing now are seen. europe energy prices have risen since the autumn rising more than 6 times compared to the same period last year. europe's

largest gas supply. that's russia has repeatedly spoken in favor of a long term deals saying that they bring much needed stability. so it's no good if i knew that they made mistakes. we talked about this with the previous european commission. all of its activities were aimed at curtailing long term contracts, but gas applies giving priority to exchange trading. and it turns out this policy was wrong in the midst of 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 all participants. and electricity bills in europe are skyrocketing along with the price of natural gas. for example, in spain, they're approaching an all time high. despite government assurance is to bring the rates back to 2018 levels. the cost of a megawatt hour, for example, is expected to be $7.00 times higher than it was last december. electricity bills in spain and in november rose 50 percent compared with a year ago. and people across the country are failing it in their pockets bulletin

me off, well in volume. many changes every tune, but if you have a sorry that only cover certain things, it affects you and everything else. if you have 500 euros and spent a 100 on electricity, you barely have anything left over. what are people going to do live in the if i were in charity? i would if people in government a low salary and see how the cold shawl is reached this level because no one regulates it. we're very glad of. okay, good. have you pay a lot for electricity in charge of clients? a low price? it affects you a lot. if you charge lions 15 euros and you have to pay rent, 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 spoke with independent jonas luke river, who thinks that the decisions coming from brussels are only making the energy crisis was europe 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 same capacity in gas turbines. when there is no wind, they will take over. so you absolutely need gas, if you, brett 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 all 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. okay, i'll be back with updates on

a top stories and around half an hour unless you watch is on youtube, in which case, you know, ah, i mean with that and as you want to don't to stand together, we'll continue to stand together against russia. 80 in germany repeat some of the areas that we doubtless made, say no to cbd, this chunky dawson, it's about their ability to influence other nations, france, b, u. k. and even latin america and other countries in future than maybe knew where to high from cycle pollute with members of your household. please, please, please, please. we're going to continue to fight with justin to,

to do. russia must not be allowed in german. y'all to common leave, it's social. ok. so didn't al td enough asian the father of the year ended out a the enough mrs. guns until sunday her right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food. this is patty and sugary and salty and addicted. it's not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. 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. so what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate moon.

which i'm not my thought on that no was on. but if got the law i'll j shall out of your story. i tele sadie so well let he kind of mostly find out he and i'd as your bellamore to let you know about. hum my uncle and much more. adler hobby and marcella half at lee for sure. maria shockey the lithia allowed to home or had that that that's a story. ah so so, so much so much. so with mother 3 sylvia with us 40 to please one be some continued ashley
