i can now maybe maybe i'm maybe with can. oh, that's our top headlines here. we're not see our new german language channel. our t d isn't broiled in a legal dispute. europe's media regulated questions, it's broadcast license. the u. k. supreme court says it was on low voltage dropping inquiry into the electric torture of 14 people by british soldiers in northern ireland, decades ago. a one of the victims told us what he went through a door, dominique, difference that kind of, spoken to on the majority and tell me i've been software not long that

they don't say they delivered. go away hours on a law enforcement struggling to deal with hundreds of migrants arriving every single day. a state of emergency has been imposed with sheriff describing the situation as chaos. so we end up with the desk in the desert robberies that are happening along the border of the pursuit. then the ancillary criminal activity, likelihood large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country. ah, saturday afternoon here at moscow when we are live worldwide. welcome to your news, its anti international opera, new german sr channel r t t e has been accused of not having the necessary documentation to broadcast in germany, auto manage, and has responded saying his license was quote,

obtained in accordance with all european laws and regulations. well, let's give you some context here. of the e channel was taken off youtube, the very day was launched on thursday. technically, there is no connection between that and the drum and t v broadcast to speed. as you can see, however, it has been a rocky star for r t d. e. an official for the european media watchdog had some ominous words for the new channel on the license must be issued in germany, and the application must also be filed to 1st of all, this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it to call the r t d, essentially a peskin little nuisance that is going to be taken care of. so that is some interesting language there right off the bat. but the crux of the issue is that in his view, we are have no business broadcasting in germany. he, he's claiming, ah, incorrectly, that 80 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 out there doing that via license through another country to serbia or 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 transfer on tier tra tran. frontier television which are under that convention gives us the right to broadcast to $33.00 countries across europe as long as broadcast from moscow. and those countries include germany, but they also include other countries with majority or significant german language . elation of such as austria, switzerland, luxembourg,

and so forth. this is where this separation is really important. the legal action is being launched against our tv production, which makes some, you know, 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 i knew german channel has faced even before it went on the air. difficulties with banks, difficulties, not just with licensing, but you know, the pressure on, on our guests and so forth. has been really unprecedented. yeah. pressure again, as you've mentioned, the beginning on our digital platforms, we're ready to keep. but to keep fighting, we spoke with our geopolitical analysts, patrick henderson, he says, the move is politically motivated, but also it sets

a dangerous precedent. not just the german regulars office. it sounds like the e u, the european regulator is also involved. but i think as follows, have sort of a general pattern it's, there's a lot, it's been a lot of political brings me ship in germany. i really believe that there's a geopolitical element to this with germany to really important, ah, language block for media. so it is a really important in terms of soft power in terms of influence. not only is it a dangerous precedent, but the, you know, the language is also disturbing when you have this sort of blogs, a ah dismissal, and dismissing off hand ortiz, simply because it's russian. they don't give any specifics of why they don't like the content, or they just say that, oh, it's because, well, there must be up to no good. in general, it's a prelude to hostilities when you have all out media war. that's a prelude. sometimes you could say to hostilities, it means that they're going to be escalating and other areas. we have reached out

to one of the main european authorities dealing with press freedom to get his position on the r t t dispute. at the o. s. c. e's representative on freedom of the media told us our request will be considered as soon as possible. with ours, i know law enforcement say they are overwhelmed as hundreds of illegal migrants are crossing the border in yuma each and every day. earlier the county may impose a state of emergency to secure additional resources by dealing with the inflow of people. a local sheriff's have described the situation as chaos. not correspondent caleb martin, explains how it will go to here. 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 and now the widen administration. recently,

reinstated, the trump administration 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, told us 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 borders of pursuit. then lea ancillary criminal activity like 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. 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 bought a crisis and it's a direct result of the biden administration's po, 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, calmly, harris was vice president and the recently named border czar by joe biden doesn't seem to really be on the case. the gotten all and had of state says he hasn't heard from her since june, despite whitehouse reassurance. 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 have got him on the 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 touting her program with private companies to bring foreign 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 had disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by reco with the previous months data dump truck received, we find that records just disappear without explanation truck is repeatedly reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review. the d o j agency, the overseas u. s. 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 $147000.00 juveniles their own. the company own 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 number juveniles come across 1st. and then the parents come late, which as they know that bill it will be reunited. and so it's all play on the rules that this administration 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. you

case the supreme court has ruled that it was a legal for police to drop a probe into a legit torture committed by british soldiers in northern ireland back in 1971 of the case relates to the troubles when hundreds of suspected ira members were detained, often without charge of 14 of those arrested, were subjected to special interrogation techniques, and these were later recognized as illegal process mcguigan. one of the 14 told us what happened to him. i was forced to stand against the wall fingertips and jeff told small my back post and my body was actually bold with this constant weight noise. that commandment took over your brain and we were denied chile. we all show were denied you should toilet. they took, remove my own clothes, you put me in a boiler suit. the boiler suit was may day close my nice clothes,

my toilet for 7 days. and that just went on. and we are forced to stand against the wall of your fingertips and that in a stress position, the body only sounds too much and you will collapse what state you would just be taken back up up against the wall. and that that was constant for the shopping diaz . i finished up with the broken ribs. i still have nightmares. i don't know how many different psychiatrist i've spoken to on the majority and tell me i've been software and that long that they don't say liberal go away earlier, the u. k. analysis plans to introduce limitations that will block prosecutions into alleged crimes related to northern ireland. that there are many members of the service if you continue to face with all that say she is a prosecution,

went into the seventy's and eighty's and later and we are finally mr. speaker bringing forward a solution to the problem to enable the problem to vote. lot of to, to align under the trauma, to enable the people of northern ireland to move forward and relatives if i was killed or in the turbulent times held protest in northern ireland against the plans of the council of europe's commission for human rights. also, i wrote a letter saying that it was denying justice. however, the european court for human rights are ruled back in 978, that the 14 men's case did not amount to torture. and that decision was a used by the bush administration to justify enhanced interrogation techniques used by graham and quantum. obey the e. c. h rejected a 2018 bit to overturn its ruling. frances mcguigan again says that he and others won't stop fighting until they get justice and apology. the british government means nothing to me. i think the word and it's more than i acknowledge the fact that what the us, the sam was what happened and when turn them all black say there's no investigation

. so nobody was ever brought to have for the bar last night on his way of certainly don't the legacy is closer all done on this thing. a bike attacked and soldiers unless personally, or old soldiers being dragged through the course. i personally don't believe, but it's anything whatsoever to do with soldiers. we want every kiss in court. we've never lost it. yes, of course we're no farther forward today than we are a pretty policy. just stall it, delay it, stole it, delay it's dollars, delay. it's question back, push it back, push it back, and maybe the long forget it, but i love you to go my we ain't going away. so we're not stop and we're never going to stop on as they say, our children on our grandchildren with our soon we are entering the 2nd half of today's program on our team. international blended. many of stories still to come, including that over electricity costs off. soaring in europe and is basically

because france has shut down for nuclear reactors. in the meantime, russia is looking east off to being snapped by the e u over energy that story and a lot more. we are back in just a 2nd. ah join me every thursday on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess what the world politics sport business i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

high selection, whole community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? which direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah. so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. oh you know it's not that a new stories here. we're not t well with europe still reeling from a full wave of cov, it high profile officials of wanting a 5th wave is poised to break. the german health minister says it's time to break when you difficulties as countries across the continent. reimpose tough restrictions. here's our correspondent peter on for the 4th wave. old cove at 19

certainly isn't over. and while we're still dealing with the new german health minister called loud to buy has been will pay to get pretty bleak picture about the immediate future. he was looking at the number of infections of the omicron variant in the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive wave of the virus on its way. brushed the, i'm assuming there will be a must have 5th wave. i mean, close concert with my colleagues from the u. k. both politically and scientifically . we were still coordinating just yesterday, my colleague said that what has been observed on the ground exceeds anything that has been observed in the entire pandemic. we have to prepare ourselves to a challenge that we have not faith 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 robot coffee institutes, 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 horizon, the new action being taken in switzerland. they've brought the new measures which are designed in order to well get more people to get vaccinated. basically if you haven't been vaccinated, i can't prove that you have recovered from covered it. within the last 6 months, you're going to be pretty much bod, from, from everywhere. in switzerland, from here on out, what we're seeing is you're 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 merge and see measures they're in denmark. they've also implemented new measures . they are going to be closing theaters cinemas because of our eyes of covert cases . there in front they've done is they've basically cut off all non essential

trouble between france and the united kingdom because of the, the sheer number of cases, tens and tens of thousands. huge amounts of covert case has been recorded in the united kingdom, france deciding they, well was few people as possible traveling between the 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 cron variance of cove at 19. in fact, the orders are all ready to go in for a 180000000 doses of coven vaccines that would target specifically the, the omicron 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 the type of pace that the, the new health minister wants to see happening. so what germany is looking to do is to buy back scenes that are being used in countries like poland, bulgaria, and romania vaccines that may well see this, they use 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 and all that to put them into people's arms. spoke to w h. i representative margaret harris. she says alma cron poses a threat even to the vaccinated. the really big difference between um assign on the other variance is it 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 other forms of the of the size going to be to virus

were re infected with army front. so we can see that i'm run 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 this via phone from di, 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 only to help people around the world get vaccinated. we all need to take seriously the measures to prevent the violins from spreading from person to person until we vaccinate promptly around the world. we are making it most of all, for new versions to new variance to arise. but covert is not europe's only headache

right now. the other is energy costs including soaring electricity bills, which shot up even further this week. it comes off to francis biggest power provide a shot down for of his nuclear reactors. e d f says is down to technical faults. earlier i discussed a situation while a correspondent saskia turner. 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 store 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 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 in these really tight times. and things do seem to be going from bad to worse. because state own electricity to france or e t f announce that it will be shutting down 2 of its neat, killer, reactive because of safety reasons. some pipes are part and you need repairing on top of that and not the to have pulled walk pending inspections. this is bad news, of course not just the fronts. his electricity is most kate and you can generate to that, not just bad news for the nations or 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 coast right over the last couple of months. but of course, who was taken the biggest head of all people. i mean, i was absolutely shock to read that europeans were 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 russia is the one who is apparently taking the blame and, and certainly the u. k. media and the tabloids in the european media. they've been having russia for these high prices. 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, natural gas that comes from russia. so you think that given how desperate the situation is that brussels would know what side its bread is buttered on. but what do you do having failed to come to an agreement on how to handle and move forward and this ongoing crisis an hour long summit. it basically turns round and accuses moscow of 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 that is unwilling to time the taps on to overflow. market says look, we've got our own lo,

shortages on top of that semester tomorrow at the moment is incredibly high because you and i very well know when to hear it's very cold. we really just can't give you any more. so let's go is looking how the situation unfolds. nichols are thinking generally about how from brussels and seen to russia in recent times. and the think you know what, it wouldn't be a bad time to join us to file market and to look to cooperate with perhaps move from the nations. so to that end, a new pipeline is actually on the called game, but i missed it 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 siberia to pipeline in michigan, 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 crisis was saying the global markets of bracing itself. meanwhile, north stream to pipeline, which is ready to go and could significantly of course,

alleviate to use energy crisis is lying idle, mired in political games. and of course, who's paying the highest price quite a tree. in this case, european systems. we talk with analyst and economist falco, hey le helmeyer, who says that russia is the ultimate shift to the east to the end of the day? perhaps makes sense. this energy priced crisis may prevail longer. if we make geo politics and issue of these energy themes, we are living in europe together with russia. and i think it is high time to return to serious diplomatic approaches rather than have a mega phone diplomacy, which rather feeds escalation. i think there has been a shift of interest, given the fact that the euro agee an area is growing fast. and that the interest over there in net gas and fossil fuels from russia has increased.

and thus, if europe doesn't play a long, and i think, i think the likelihood of russia turning more and more towards the east is extremely high. and it would put a risk on energy safety and the route european union. booking fort russia has officially left the open skies treating and that's an agreement that allows various states to conduct unarmed surveillance flights in each other's air space. well, the decision to withdraw came after the united states pulled out that was last year and will details now without ecos down off miss withdrawal by russia rather than being a beginning of something bigger. it is a logical and now in hindsight, a an inevitable conclusion to a process started by washington. when last year it accused moscow of 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 unarmed 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 any more. but the european nato members that were still part of this multi lateral motor bilateral deal. they could still conduct flights over russia's military objects and most who tried to get guarantees from it's 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 a 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 are saying that, well, russia will be leaving the deal. and today is officially the day that this deal is obsolete. read more about that right now at odds. he dot com. well, thanks for joining us for the saturday program, like from moscow about half past 2 in the afternoon. we are going to be back in about half an hour's time with more of your top stories. hope you can join us that ah, look forward to talking to you. oh, that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where said shorter is it conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point, obviously is to create trust,

rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with ah, a with i'm not sure if that's you know, what you're going underground. 70 years.
