enough, me out of the yes, actually in the in the enough mrs. guns until sunday. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me ah, no new german language channel, anti d e's embroiled in a legal dispute as europe's media regulated questions is broadcast license management. stress is the license was obtained in full compliance with european law, arizona. law enforcement struggles to deal with hundreds of migrants arriving each day. hey, state of emergency has been imposed with sheriff's describing the situation as chaos. so we end up with the best in the desert, the robberies that are happening along the border, the pursuits them. li,

ancillary criminal act that we like the large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled in our country. i profile officials raised the alarm about a 5th wave of the pandemic engulfing europe as the continent still reeling from the impact of the previous search. ah, good afternoon, you're watching art international grade to have your company are brand new germans says the channel as r t d has been accused of not having the necessary documentation in order to broadcasting germany on t management responded, saying his license was quote obtained in accordance with all applicable european laws and regulations, i had some contacts the new channel was taken off. you chief the very day that it was launched on thursday. technically there is no connection between that incidents and the german t v broadcast dispute. but as you can see,

benet really rocky saw for on t v. official for the european media watchdog also had some ominous words. for the e channel. the license must be issued in germany and the application must also be filed her. first of all, this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it. he called her r t d essentially a peskin it and little nuisance. that is just going to be taken care of. so that is some interesting language there right off the bat. but the, the crux of the issue is that in his view, we are have no business broadcasting in germany. he, he screaming incorrectly, that the news channel is actually based in berlin, when in fact, it is based in moscow, quite literally down the hall from, from the studio. and the news programs are coming out here being filmed here,

edited, put on the air and so forth. and they are doing that via licensed through another country to serbia through another european license and are in full right to broadcast across all of europe, including in germany. our license was obtained under what is known as the european convention on trans frontier tra trans frontier television, which i, under that convention gives us the right to broadcast to $33.00 countries across europe as long as you broadcast for moscow. and those countries include germany. but they also include other countries with majority of significant german language populations, such as austria, switzerland, luxembourg, and so forth. this is where the separation is really important. the legal action is being launched against our tv productions, which makes some make some of the shows our tv productions does not need a license,

because our tv production is not a channel. it channel is our tv that is coming out of here. and thus moscow, our headquarters, our parent company applied for i applied for the for the license in serbia. the amount of pressure that a new german channel has faced even before it went on the air. difficulties with banks, difficult t is not just this licensing, but you know, the pressure on, on our guest and so forth has been really unprecedented pressure. again, as you've mentioned, the beginning on our digital platforms, we're ready to keep, to keep fighting. we have reached out to one of the main european authorities dealing with press freedom to get his position on the rtp dispute. the seas representative on freedom of the media told us our requests would be considered as soon as possible or is own. a law enforcement say they're overwhelmed with

hundreds of illegal migrants crossing the border wall in yuma. every day, earlier, the county ma imposed a state of emergency to secure additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people. local sheriff's describe the situation is chaotic. caleb open explains how it got to this point. arizona mexico border is buzzing with activity. 3000 migrants crossed just this weekend and the local sheriff says they are in a hurry. there were a lot of people who were planning to come here. but because of the new law, they decided to come as soon as possible. now the widening administration recently reinstated the trump administration's policy of having asylum seekers remain in mexico waiting in mexico while their claims are considered. now the sheriff thinks that the administration's actions are fueling the crisis. we told this administration, if they decided to in phoebe, it was going to cause these problems and obviously the ancillary impacts in the

upper in our back yard. so we end up with the desk in the desert of the robberies that are happening along the order of the pursuit. then the ancillary criminal activity, like the large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country, from mexico all are occurring in every order county along the southwestern board. now the local mayor has declared a state of emergency. he's calling on federal officials for help. a 110 agents from the department of homeland security have already been re committed. however, local officials are slamming biden for not doing enough. yuma is facing an escalating humanitarian and both are crisis and it's a direct result of the biden administration's poor communication, lack of organization and complete disregard for border protection. but arizona is not alone. florida is also dealing with the migration wave. so the border is obviously a disaster. well, actually the by the administration puts people on planes and flies them in the

florida in the wee hours of the morning. so they've done over 70 flights in the last 6 months out, comma harris, who is vice president, and just recently named as border czar by joe biden. doesn't seem to really be on the case. the guar all and had of state says he hasn't heard from her since june, despite whitehouse reassurances. why is it that she has not spoken to the president of guatemala since you 6 months? i knew that i could see this kind of strange report from the president of guatemala, saying that he has had no contact with the white house, which is inaccurate. other than you're meeting with harris in june, this is the only one. this is the only communication you've had with the biden administration concerning a legal immigration. yet pamela harris is currently counting her program with private companies to bring for an investment to central america and stop the migrant flow. but how much a trickle of funds from pepsi, cargill and mastercard will actually do, remains unclear. meanwhile,

50000 juveniles seeking asylum have disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by reco with the previous month day to dump truck received, we find that requisite disappear without explanation truck has repeatedly reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review. the d o j agency, the overseas us immigration cases, but has not received any satisfactory explanation. a number of these asylum cases continued to disappear each month. researchers say the u. s. department of justice is making it more difficult to track a juvenile migrant cases. providing information that is not useful or precise, but one sheriff will not keep silent. they've already got what over 147000 juveniles, their own a company on the, they need to change their messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to do individuals money because they were separated at the border, that's just a draw for the cartels and further from

a wilma to exploit. so now that's why we see a member of juveniles come across 1st. and then the parents come late, which as they know that bill it will be reunited. so it's all play on the rules that this and ministration has put into place. the migrant crisis has hung over the biden administration from the beginning. many wonder if there are any real solutions in the works, not just reassuring words. kaleb mop and r t new york. europe still reeling from a 4th wave of the pandemic, high profile officials and warning a 5th is point to break. the german health minister says it's time to bryce when you difficulties. countries across the continent re imposing self restrictions to all of our husband. the 4th wave old cove at 19 certainly isn't over. and while we're still dealing with that, the new german health minister car allowed to buy has been, will painting

a pretty bleak picture about the immediate future. and he was looking at the number of infections of the o micron variant in the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive 5th wave of the virus on its way brushed. thus i'm assuming there'll be a massive 5th wave. i mean, close concert with my colleagues from the u. k. both politically and scientifically . we were still coordinating just yesterday, my colleagues say that what has been observed on the ground exceeds anything that has been observed in the entire pandemic. we have to prepare ourselves for a challenge that we have not faced yet in this form. while infection numbers have been dropping gradually in recent days and weeks here in germany, it isn't happening fast enough. according to the country, public health authority, the robert cock institute, in order to release the burden from intensive care beds and the availability of those intensive care beds. not just in germany, where there are problems on the horizons. a new action being taken in switzerland.

they've brought in new measures which are designed in order to well get more people to get vaccinated. basically, if you haven't been vaccinated or can't prove that, you have recovered from covert it. within the last 6 months, you're going to be pretty much barred from, from everywhere in switzerland, from here on out what we're seeing as you going to need to provide the proof of one of those 2 things to get into sports stadiums. cultural events and leisure facilities, also restaurants as well. it comes after the intensive care unit bed space, l. the capacity for that bed space in switzerland, past 82 percent this week. so the country deciding to take a emergency measures they're in denmark, they've also implemented new measures. they are going to be closing theaters and sinners because of arise of covert cases they're in france. they've done is they've basically cut off all non essential travel between france and the united kingdom because of the, the she had number of cases,

tens and tens of thousands. huge amounts of covert case has been recorded in the united kingdom, france deciding they want a few people as possible traveling between their 2 countries. it's also prompted action and a new level member states and their leaders saying that they wanted to see more vaccines that are specifically tailored to taco, the oma kron variance of cove. at 19. in fact, the orders are all ready to go in for a 180000000 doses of covert vaccines that would target specifically the, the oem, across very intuitive world, the subject of vaccines. there's been a massive push here in germany to get people to come forward. for booster jobs, in fact, 1500000 people were vaccinated here in germany on wednesday alone, 1300000 of those were booster vaccines. but the problem is, there's not enough vaccines here in germany right now in order to keep up that type of pace and it's not type of pace that the,

the new health minister wants to see happening. so what germany is looking to do is to buy vaccines that are being used in countries like poland, bulgaria, and romania vaccines that may well see this, that used by dates expire in the near future, germany say, and they'll take them off their hands in order to try and get enough jobs in the facilities in order to put them into people's arms. also spoke to w h o representative longer harris. she says that only con places the threat even to the vaccinated the inoculation program. she says, all still the best defense, the really big difference between alma klein and the of the variance is it's made of spread. we are very concerned that there will be a lot of people who become severely ill and end up in hospital people who had previously been infected with all the forms of the, of the saws, covey to virus, were re infected with army front. so we can see that army kron can infect

people, whether or not they have had a previous infection, and it can infect people who have been vaccinated. but the critical thing is, we are also saying that people who've been vaccinated ah, being protected from having the sylvia form from dying, ending this pandemic is in all our hands at every level of society, every country, if we all do all the things we need to do we can in this pandemic? so what am i talking about? we only to get vaccinated, we own a to hill people around the world get vaccinated. we all need to take seriously the measures to prevent the violins from spreading per person to person until we vaccinate promptly around the world. we are making it possible for new versions to new variance to arise. so to comment, electricity costs soar in europe,

up to front shuts down for nuclear reactors, while russia is looking beast of to being snubbed by the u of energy. but story on more out ah ah

ah, failure to allow bond markets to reflect true. market forces has resulted in a bifurcation in the economy where the most corrupt car rewarded for committing crimes. jamie 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 ah, oh, come back here, abs records, electricity prices of further risen after the biggest power provider in france, shut down for of its nuclear, react to this week, e d. s. says it's down to technical faults and colleagues will receive shayton. saskia tele talks through the development while europe's energy crisis might be

a hot topic. but sauce me, it doesn't 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 dangerously record lows. in fact, your pink gas stored supplies, haven't been this spot in a decade, on average, across the block. 3074 percent full. that's down to 94 percent last year, and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest pulse 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, no real resolved, 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 t f. now that it will be shutting down to of its new reactive because of safety reasons. some pipes are power and you need repairing on top of that and not the to have pulls to walk pending inspections. this is bad news, of course not just the fronts electricity is most kate and you can generate it is

not just bad news for the nations exports to, for example, the u. k. but it's also very nerve wracking for the mall kits which have already been on a total road 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 shock to read that europeans will pay 900 percent more the 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 say, it's a pretty di situation. a lot of this russian gas that 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're blaming russia for these high prices. it is a big supplier of gus to europe. and how was moscow reacting to all of this? what you are right around 30 percent of europe, 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 or using gas as a political weapon. so of course, we know it's always good to have someone else to blame. the thing is, is russia is fulfilling its contracts. and the problem is, is it is unwilling to turn the taps on to overflow. mosca 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 very well know the went to here is very cold. we really just can't give you any more. so we'll start looking at how the situation is unfolding. it will say, thinking generally about how frosty brussels has been to russia. and we sometimes think, you know what, it wouldn't be a bad time to diversify our market and to look to cooperate with perhaps more friendly nations. so to that end, a new pipeline is actually on the cards he gave,

but i'm a do it in practical times. it's a project for gas pipeline, from russia to china and fire mongolia to work is progressing successfully. it could become a continuation of the russian power of siberia to pipeline, unless you come the optimal route and length of already been determined, the feasibility studies being prepared. and i think it will be ready in the coming weeks. so construction that could start as early as 2024. in the meantime, what's happening, europe's crisis was named the global markets embracing itself. meanwhile, nodes trained to pipeline which is ready to go and could significantly of course, alleviate the use energy crisis is lying idle, mired in political games. and of course, who's paying the highest price quite literally, in this case, european assistance. okay, i'm joined live on the line now by international strategic affairs experts. frances perez, very good afternoon, francis. we've heard about these french power plant closes. adding to the ease energy crisis. price is going up supplies, not very high. is there

a possible solution outlet? could russia be involved somehow? what happens in france about the nuclear power east, but use for at least 5 reasons. a 1st of the window is going and as we know, when days is season when our consumption is chrissie office. second, we will be dinner in front for some time that we sweet this window. could be the jeter period as fast power supplies are concerned, especially ease if the weather is rather cord. 3rd trunks is very much dependent on nuclear power, which represents about 70 percent of its national power production. for, for what opens up to the rising trend. the strongly rising trend of gas prices in france. i'm iraq in 2021. and the last reason i'm,

but least of these reasons, is the fact about francis nobly the power exporter to was some other european countries. so we are, of course, some possible solutions, but it will depend a lot on the weather. was very important and it will depend, of course, a lot of for power equals oh, from france coming from some other european countries. but we love the price, the cost in economic terms, especially for french industry, because french consumers will be protected by the french government. we've the decision some time ago to freeze power prices in france, inventory, months. normally i would expect a government to do what is best for the citizens, so you be,

it's just plain business sense. you get the best price to, to get the best product for, for your own citizens went there to serve the citizens. is that what will happen or will geo politics come into it as no, oh, we are in france, some keen elections into the spring of mixture, a presidential election and legislative initiates. so of course, the french government is very much aware that the question of rising in that she prices all prices dust, fresh season, cold prices, power price season, is a key and the very safe since he fully took wish. so some weeks ago, the french government announced some measures in order to protect french consumers from raising their cheap prices, especially gus and power prices. but they're each boot fit of the french

industrial, especially lash combines, which are very much suffering from i you much. i go in and she prices in $2221.00 and a fast oil gas corn and bowers concept. so very some of the answer which is missing, even if french consumers, which are also french with us, are so much fairly much protected of his vicky life to international to take affairs expert francis burden francis. thank you so much. sandra much rush as officially left the open skies treaty and agreement that allow states to conduct unarmed surveillance flights in each other's air space. the decision to withdraw came after the u. s. pulled out last year with more. his artistic is not withdraw by russia rather than being a beginning of something big. it is

a logical and now in hindsight, a and inevitable conclusion to a process started by washington when last year accused moscow or violating the basic principles of this open skies agreement. and decided to unilaterally leave the deal this treaty, which was signed all the way back in 1992. it served as a very important confidence builder. basically, it allowed russia the u. s. and some, many nato member states to conduct anom surveillance flights over each other's military infrastructure. as long as there was a 72 hours heads up when washington decided to withdraw, russia found itself at a disadvantage. basically, neither russia nor washington could conduct such flights anymore. but the european nato members that were still part of this multi lateral motive bilateral deal. they could still conduct flights over russia's military objects and most who try to get guarantees from its european partners from its partners who are also members of the

nato blocker. it try to get guarantees that they will not pass on any information, whatever information they can gather during such flights to their natural ally, washington. they failed to provide such such assurances, such guarantees. so russia said that it had no other choice but to withdraw itself . so this summer, vladimir putin, the president, signed a law saying that, well, russia will be leaving the deal. and today is officially the day that this deal is obsolete. a prominent pro israeli body in america is looking to bolster its influence on us politics by channeling campaign funds to both republicans and democrats who push it's agenda. we are launching to buy parties and political action committees, a federal political action committee, and a super political action committee to make us more effective in fulfilling our mission in the current political environment. american israeli public affairs

committee or i pint lobbies for televi tv's interest such as recognition of illegal settlements in palestine encountering he ran his new political funding drive hopes to have an impact on the 2020 to mid terms. max abrams professor, political science at northeastern university in boston, says i fact doesn't much care who it funds just so long as it gets influence. apec was to make it seem, it's a national group. it wants as many members as possible as much money as possible. and so that means being taken seriously, not just on the right, but also on the left. and i think that with these new products, it will allow a pass to selectively found and back democratic candidate who pro israel in that way. it might help to change the perception which is formed over the past few years. that value is essentially republican,

but not democratic ideal because actually has a much broader effect in terms of us media policy. for example, a will take a position on syria and would surely encourage the united states to support is really incursion against, you know, iranian military asset. in theory, this, we are obviously views the wrong as the for most threat to it. and so they talk very often is supporting hard line against the wrong on all of these issues, a pact is influential within washington, d. c. were running late, so goodbye. ah

ah ah, ah. o my view more broadly is the genocide has taken place far more than anyone acknowledges right? it takes place frequently. it has taken place and virtually every country in the world. so why does it come to be haul them all? there's political will on mobilization if you remember, wanda,

nobody initially wanted to hammer, may knew it just i was taking place. nobody wanted to call it that. eventually that label came to take place, but not at the time when events were unfolding and parted out to politicize. ization is if you say it's genocide, it's suggest that you need to do something for oil and gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom, transportation. all of them now have a u. t. type of infrastructure connected to the internet, so clearly realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries cons, ignore it, that threaten us national security issue. but if we take the nato and you countries, virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but task forces, they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their.
