morals or ethics, you're penalize. if you're not out there still it's ceiling alluding, then you're going to be homeless. and that's american today. it's a sad with ah, the headlines right now here when r t, russia publishes a list of proposals to nato for maintaining security. the deputy foreign minister saying the ball is now in the alliance his court when it comes to the escalation. in the program, we dig into disturbing revelations at the manchester arena, suicide bomber had linked to a former nato soldier ton terrorist. as an inquiry, his submissions from the you case, home office, encounter terror force and drought, and simon plunge afghanistan into

a humanitarian disaster. the un saying the winter freeze will only exacerbate matters situation on the ground in afghanistan, continues to be difficult. people are definitely not having enough food, enough warm enough of supplies. ah, so we've made it all the way to friday, but the news is not slowing down. welcome to your program here. we're naughty, international. russia has published a list of proposals for d, escalating tensions with nato. it's all limit fears of a conflict in ukraine. among the demons are a scale back of military activity along russia's borders. of the western defense alliance has already responded, saying it will consider the document, but any outcome will require input from ukraine. autism or ad guest, dia report on what exactly russia is offering. for years now,

we've heard the same thing. oh, things have gone too far. a, we don't want war. we want to be friends for both nato and russia. but things keep getting worse, escalating the russia has taken its step publishing proposals for the u. s. and nato, its wishlist for return to normality, something to start talking about. and it begins with a call to de escalate. to end the constant threats and true build ups, which only lead to more of the same. the parties shall not use the territories of other states with a view to preparing or carrying out an armed attack against the other party judge for yourself. where in previous years they threatened each other with, with sanctions or legal action. now, openly, both russia and nato, a talking and fearful tones about war and of the cuban missile crisis. i'd like to believe that this is rock bottom,

but there's no guarantees and guarantees are what russia wants. guarantees, for example, that u. s. missiles aren't stationed within a few minutes flight time to moscow. the parties shall not deploy land based, intermediate, and short range missiles, in areas allowing them to reach the territory of the other parties. moscow sees nato slow and unexplainable encroachment towards russia's borders. as an existential threat, nato argues that it's peaceful but right then the u. s. military doctorate. russia is referred to as an adversary. the close of that nato and u. s. troops and tags and missiles moved to russia, the more unpredictable the game gets, which is why putin has said he's red line. nato states commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of nato, including the accession of ukraine,

as well as other states. not that nato thinks much of russia's concerns. not long ago, secretary general stockton berg announced that roger has no vito, no sane nato operations and no right to any sort of security. buffalo sphere of influence, which sets us back all the way to square one. at the nip, it is moderate. this is not an attempt to revise the post cold war order. it's a response to western expansion which has been conducted in a hostile manner. be the gist of the proposal that, that the u. s. nato and russia have a requirement for security as essential as food or water that they must all equally respect. nato has received the proposals and says that a little discuss them amongst themselves and with input from ukraine. that there isn't much cause for optimism. russ's requests of largely been rejected, summons in private, some and public consult mockingly for the cameras,

but perhaps this time, sense willed, prevail. oh, i let her bring in now political analysts, nicola markovich, joining us lie from paris. it's good to have you with us today. so russia wants negotiations with nato, it's a set out its terms, including for example, stopping the alliance is expansion and limit limiting that of military drills. or did you think there is any chance nato might agree to any of these? well, i think they do. is there has been paying a lot of war games on russia's border since the end of the, of the ussr, a couple years ago now. oppression i to anaconda do over $30000.00 natal soldiers conducting motor exercises. and these past weeks years, there been a lot of military operations conducted by nato on russian borders. and i think russia has arrived at this stage where it shows that a red line has been crossed. and i do think that needle may be showing a bit of its muscle saying that it will see what it's ready to negotiate with with

russia. however, the fact that russia has been so many soldiers on it's on it's a western front because it is afraid of nato helped ukraine offensive in don bass, maybe not a trade, but ready to protect the russian inhabitants of don. best shows that i think nato has finally understood that it has gone too far. and so i think that now it is good that both parties maybe agree or say that it's time to negotiate to discuss. but i think that we've seen a recent press release from nato, saying that it is ready to discuss all of a sudden it may be some people, maybe some of the politicians, not the military, but to politician. feel that now the red line has been crossed and if they go a little bit further, natal saunders may provoke something which should be a threatening for all of you. because we know that both nato and russia are nuclear superpowers. and maybe some people, politicians on new sites, it's time to sit back, come down and go around the negotiation table rather than conducting on these

exercises. well, as you say, you know, nato has essentially said, is open for dialogue with russia on this, but it won't, there won't be any compromise. so in a sense, it almost like, well, it kind of puts it right back to square one. if they're ready for dialogue, but they're not ready to make any compromises again, stolen bug of nato yesterday pledged continued support for ukraine. but among european nations, how much agreement is there on this issue? did you think he, you power of any desire to get sucked into a potential conflict and you cry? unfortunately, once again, you are so sure that they are not ours because they are letting washington discuss . let us not forget that concerning the don best conflict, france and germany to nato powers have signed the means one and 2 agreements aiming for peace in dawn best. where are they to day? they are totally invisible. they should be, if they were real powers economic, military political powers, they should be using the fact that they sign their midst agreement with the help they find a peaceful situation. and don't best should be doing that. their name will co,

ashington come in and out the javelin miss house. it's a ukrainian soldiers send out a trainers to trade trade to trade. the ukranian soldiers there during the military exercises and their paying hardball on russia. and this is on european soil. we are very, very far from wyoming in nebraska and all the other different american states in this situation. why are the european countries, lady washington do this because they have abandoned their sovereignty. they have abandoned the power that they had on european. so this is dangerous because if a war erupt, this is on european, so it's not on american soil. so i'm nicole and catch up. i'm sort of jump in, but, you know, look, russia, russia has said our list of proposals to nato and essentially washington to try and dis, deescalate any tension in ukraine. but let's go back to 2014. the my don qu, that was about from langley virginia of regime change in, in key evan. then they sanctioned russia. and then russia says, well, zalinski and ukraine, they're not following the men sca court. i mean, my, my question is because russia seems to be open for dialogue almost all the time,

but it always gets almost like a knee jerk reaction from his professional partners in the west. how much patients she think moscow has left. not much patience because again, that does not forget that james baker said there were at the, at the end of the year. so i bet nato powers are not a one inch eastward. and we see now that the database is, are all around a former eastern european countries. and i think most question got it is in it's right. saying that we, you lie to us once. you are provoked war, a civil unrest in a country which borders ours, where we have legitimate digital bit heritage or the easter eastern europe and a lot a lot of eastern ukraine. and a lot of people in ukraine consider themselves as russian where they are russian speakers. so this is i, of course, i totally agree that the u. s. is a hypocritical in this situation because they say they want a dialogue, but they are creating the unrest. and when russia says that it is chose, it's good, we'll say that we'll try and find peace. we will follow the means to agreements. we will try to bring up what are piece we can to the region every time to do that.

there's either a u. s. function or us that sanction, or military exercises, and now training of ukrainian soldiers or firing all the civilians have done best. so of course, this is sort of good, totally hypocritical on the west side. and i think that russia, by amassing all the soldiers, is showing that the red line has been crossed and that it is ready. but that again, that the referred me to is going to war, then russia has to reply one moment or another, just just let a foreign military organization play on its border. and we know that especially when we know the intentions of nato. ringback which are extremely hostile to russia . all right, political analyst, nicola markovich, showing us life aeronautics international. we appreciate that. thanks for your time . thank you. the manchester arena, bama may have been radicalized by a former nato soldier, turned terrorist that was revealed during an inquiry into the atrocity on 1st, a senior figures from the u. k. is counter terrorism. police at the home office

gave that closing submissions. just a quick reminder of what happened once back in 2017, when salman of betty detonated explosives in a stadium hosting an hour on a grand concert. 22 killed, hundreds injured. and just a moment here, our correspondent eagle. have donald now looks at the latest fax to come to light. he met at 22 people in one suicide blast. now a public inquiry is trying to establish what turned a hard core parts he go up into a suicide bomber. and how it could have been prevented the probe has yet to deliver concrete answers. but over the past couple of years, it has yielded plenty of disturbing revelations. these pictures unearthed by the inquiry leave, little to the imagination the bomb. his whole family himself included, have been gun toting maniacs, thoroughly radicalized according to the findings. this is his father and the m. i.

5, they admitted they knew about the trigger. happy father who apparently was turning his sons into extremists and my 5 also knew about the bombers contacts with not one or 2, but 6 people who were just short of being placed on the terror watchlist. and my 5 were also reportedly warned by the f b. i that sell mana betty was planning an attack in the u. k. which in fact he was none of that was apparently good enough to ban him from entry in 2015 and my 5 received information that summoner bady was in contact with the subjects of interest a. so i c a, so i see was a long standing a so i, because of his previous affiliation with an extremist group in libya from mid 2015 onwards. and my 5 received information or someone a baby on several occasions which include a conflicting information about his a spousal of pro i sl views. ah, this is abdullah rove abdullah a convicted terrorist,

suspected of radical ising the manchester terrorist. he was friends with the bummer, with the bomb his father. more than that, they were brothers in arms, within one of libya's largest militant groups. the february 17th marti's brigade, that's where they learned how to shoot, kill and bomb. not without the help of nato instructors, it was a group to take palms to fight against gadhafi. indeed be hated or forced to us as we were backed up by the whole world and below fightin. nature was frightened actually with us, long sighted us as the british government. also actually i was chained by and actually nato. it was just normal, basic training in weapons, basic train and yet out to ain't chew and reload. militant groups that

lay to birth. terrorists have been ones favored by western officials. the inquiry has shown. when a delores commander was done with fighting in libya, he formed an anti government militia in syria on the irish government money. and did he subsequently lead a group from libya to syria? yes. her son manna he did under before that he was in island, is it, it he was at live is i live in irish. i know and, and he was aided by the irish government with money. and i believe the british government also knew of others well to go and help syrians, if against that, the fight against asset during the libyan conflict in 2011, the british government was in communication with a wide range of libyans involved in the conflicts against the cathy regime forces it is likely that this included former members of the libyan islamic fighting group

and the 17th of february martz's brigade as part of our broad engagement. during this time, the you case helped to rebel groups of various degrees of extremism did not end their britons. a lead troops were caught on camera in libya, despite official assurances at the time that there were no boots on the ground, them. there was no other choice but to admit the reality. if the malicious and error bellows had not been there playing a key role, i am not so certain that air bala would have resulted in good of his downfall in the weeds. it who had a few people imbedded with them, not of france, so to speak. but beckoned carriers rebel groups firepower grew. nato was dropping bombs by the 1000 and gadhafi while eventually fell. and with him went down libya's security and rule of law. as war, this myriad of militias turned against each other vying for power. the country turned into a free for all,

so the u. k. began to evacuated. citizens including militants. well guess who boarded the royal navies. h. m. s. enterprise. back in 20. 14 in tripoli. none other than the future. manchester bomber selman abedi. we have our nato and u. k. officials to comment on these admissions. we'll let you know what response we get. we get more on the inquiry to buy heading to our website all t dot com. both are loads of stories there on the online right now. not in today's program, for example, believe oh, not a how the u. s. and ukraine voted against a un resolution condemning naziism. read about that right now. if you like, hotmail dot com. so 3 months off of the taliban took over afghanistan, humanitarian groups as sounding the alarm in a big way. the banking system has collapsed and the country is on the brink of mass starvation. it's a situation that is expected to only get worse during the winter. i

links to means even more like spending the whole day in lines and again, some bran at 3 loaves of bread help esvito children where as a stand in front of the baker says, here from morning to make it for 3 logs is brad. the price of bread has skyrocketed with hundreds of people, including women, children, and the elderly, come to the bakery every day and make for bread. people live in poverty prices. a low from bread used to cost $10.00 connie's. but now it is 2023000000 people face acute food shortages this winter. that's more than half the country's population out the taliban take over. foreign donors cuts off financial aid. humanitarian aid is still getting it, but there is no telling if it will pass the 1st way to test the taliban government

is now pleading with us to release $10000000000.00 and afghan assets which will froze on after the taliban seized power in august. now the taliban foreign minister is off the world to show mercy and compassion. we discussed the crisis with a un secretary general's deputy representative for afghanistan. situation on the ground in afghanistan continues to be difficult and complex. winter has come. we have temperatures dropping below 0 and people are definitely not having enough food enough warm enough of supplies. so it's a difficult situation. i. our teams are reaching out to over $8000000.00 people now providing them with essential food items and also delivering hundreds of thousands of kids which contain intimidation items and which keep warm at winter.

overall package of age 12 constant was estimated at $8000000.00 annually. and through the next year, we will be seeking $4400000000.00 towards the human 10 appeal. an additional $3.00 to what is basic human needs. the aid is coming and it's producing an impact . there may will to make a difference for the people on the grounds. however, i've gotten this far from meeting the needs of the people or about to be joined by al t saskia taylor here in the studio to discuss basically the story here. and that is that a nuclear power, short full in france, is ultimately sending shock waves through and already rattled european energy market. that story with saskia and just tomorrow ah,

talk about a space raise on hypersonic weapons. we talk about the fact that will be arranged on fossil energy. we talked about a democrat democracy prizes in the us. so if you don't think that's outrageous enough that you know is only because today the everyday life seems to me as that some who's been doing this for 30 years. it's very difficult actually, to make a re depiction, compete with the reality of the rages day by day life that we're seeing. failure to allow bond markets to reflect to market forces has resulted in a bifurcation in the economy where the most corrupt are rewarded for committing crimes. j. p. morgan being a prime example. and if you have morals or ethics you're penalized. if you're not out there still sailing alluding, then you're going to be homeless. and that's american today. it's a sad i

just ah, your product stories here on r t, so europe's record electricity prices guess what? they've risen even further. it's off to the biggest power provider in france, shut down, not one, not 2, but full of his nuclear reactors. the adf says, is not a technical fault. so darrow did. let's bring an aussie saskia tele details on this . ask you a good evening to you. it looks like it's going to be a bleak mid winter for europe at this point. her, while europe's energy crisis might be a hot topic, but sauce me, it does look like it's going to be a cold winter on the continent. because while gas prices have spike, the gas itself is running low and i'm talking dangerous kate record lows. in fact, your pink gas stored supplies haven't been this spot in a decade,

on average across the blog. 3074 percent full. that's down from 94 percent last year, and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest parts of winter is still ahead, the relatively low gas reserves should be used carefully. if we keep withdrawing gas at the current rate, the level will be very low by february. so no buffer know will resolve that. anyone can sort of depend to and these really tight times and things do seem to be going from bad to worse, because state owned electricity to france or e d f. now that it will be shutting down to bits nucular reactive because of safety reasons. some pipes that are apparently need repairing on top of that and not the to have paused walk pending inspections. this is bad news, of course not just the france electricity is most kate nuclear generated is not just bad news for the nations exports to, for example, the u. k. but it's also very nerve racking for the mall kits which have already been on a total road, a coast right over the last couple of months. but of course,

who has taken the biggest head of all people. i mean, i was absolutely shocked to read that europeans will pay 900 percent more for natural gas in january 2022 than they did in january 2021. so i really think looking at this picture now, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a pretty di situation. but we also just wanna understand here. we've also understand that though a lot of this russian gaster goes into europe, it hasn't. they didn't fill up their coffers during last summer. so they were, as you were saying that the gas levels were low. prices have gone up but rusher is the one who's apparently taken the blame and, and certainly the u. k. media and the tabloids in the european media. they blaming russia for these high prizes. it is a big supplier of gus to europe. and how is moscow reacting to all of this? what you are right around 30 percent of europe's natural gas that comes from russia . so you'd think then, given how desperate the situation is that brussels would know what side it's bread is buttered on. but what does the you do having failed to come to an agreement on

how to handle and move forward in this ongoing crisis, an hour long summit i it basically turns round and accuses moscow of use and gases a political way. and so of course, we know it's always good to have someone else to blame. the thing is, is russia is for filling its contracts. and the problem is, is it is unwilling to time to tap on to overflow. market says, look, we've got our own low shortages on top of that domestic demand at the moment is incredibly high because you and i've very well known when to hear it's very cold, we really just can't give you any more. so moscow is looking how the situation is unfolding. it's also thinking generally about how frosty brussels has been to russia in recent times. and the think, you know what, it wouldn't be a bad time to diversify on market and to look to cooperate with perhaps move from the nations. so to that end, new pipeline is actually on the called in practical terms. it's a project for gas pipeline, from russia to china via mongolia. the work is progressing successfully. it could

become a continuation of the russian power of siberia to pipeline the optimal route and length of already been determined. a feasibility study is being prepared. and i think it will be ready in the coming weeks. so construction not could thought as early as 2024 in the meantime, what's happening? europe christ whitening the global markets, the bracing itself. meanwhile, north stream cure pipeline, which is ready to go and could significantly of course, alleviate to use energy crisis is lying idle minded in political games. and of course, who's paying the highest price. quite latree, in this case, european systems of course because of all of that rolls downhill. saskia taylor, thank you for. there's been a bit of a surprising twist and the migrant started off on a bellow roast poland border. a polish border soldier has defected to bela roast and requested, get this political asylum. and he's made an appearance on national television, explaining his reasons less learn more about this right now. crossing live to watch,

isa ilia. katrinka alia, good evening to you. can you tell us more about the soldier? what exactly has happened here? warry, good evening. well, at this point we definitely know that this man who was born in 1996 has indeed defected. and the people among the most senior ranks in the polish ministry have admitted that they are absolutely furious. the man's commanders have been fired and the defense minister says that this soldier was an offender and that he wasn't even supposed to serve at the border. the minister once punishment for those who sent him there. a soldier who went missing yesterday had serious problems of the law and resign from the army. he should never have been assigned to the bodhisattvas. i've asked for an explanation as to who was responsible for this. and an interview to bell russian tv. the factor said that right now,

he's 100 percent. sure, that war store is now going to portray him as a traitor and a very bad man. and when he was asked the following question, by doing so, do the polish authorities one to draw the attention away from the migraine crisis on the bell? rous poland border? his answer was b. c. yes. the former soldier also added that he couldn't stand what was happening at the border where plenty of migrants were trying to enter as d u and the most serious accusation that was given by the factor it was that he sought to cases when the polish troops shot and killed volunteers that tried to help the migrants. now just to remind you, the european union and poland in particular is a blaming mens for orchestrating this migrant crisis. as part of their hybrid war

against the west. minsk is denying this, saying that they are not purposefully sending migrants to the border while, like you said, warri this particular case with the defects or could be a new twist. and the story which could trigger more reaction from both sides and further conflict are usually for trunk of thank you and thank you for joining us here on our team to national for this friday program. we're heading into the evening hours now half past 7, friday night here in the russian capital. so my colleague, you know, neil here at the desk very soon with more of your worldwide use headlines. thank you for joining me. the join me every person on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me

ah, working room or shed in the back. she popped in. she said, well, i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas. can we recycle? there was a good, divine, another, shooting another safe part of american life shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an e r 15, semi automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act. when we're silent on this issue, the other side wins. by default, the lady that lived over there, i was walking one of the dogs. so why do you wear again where you skin? nothing. i take it off of me, i think the people need to take responsibility in their own and be prepared if those kinds of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings that we certainly wouldn't have. the number of deaths

with as low dose. this feel a doesn't act like a typical poison. it acts as an indication disruptor. meaning that it disturbs our hormones. the molecules that regulate, among other things, our reproductive system. with the tiniest observable doses, it can have devastating effects. in other words, between the dos and the effect of a product. research is starting to find some very unexpected relationships. and this is shaking off the world of toxicologists. we were rejecting their dog law. they toxicology community has not accepted it. they said we reject this.
