ah, with awe thousands, riley in central london against a rock of new covert measures. daily infections on the u. k. report lead reach an all time high. the british to put supreme court rules, it was unlawful to drop an inquiry into the alleged torture of 14 suspected irish members by british soldiers. one of them told us what he had to go through with this constant wait, lloyd, that amendment took while we are bringing weaver to night. surely, we'll show tonight. you should toilet that bush, hans, who built

a shopping dad. i was on a law enforcement struggling to deal with hundreds of migrants arriving every day. officials are now rounding on the biden administration with sheriffs describing the situation as the chaos. so we end up with congestion, the desert robberies that are happening along the porter of the pursuit family, ancillary criminal activity, like large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled in our country. ah, plenty of your saturday stories for today's program. here we're in a r t international welcome to them. the u. k. has apparently recorded a record cove. it's so with more than $93.00 cases registered in the past 24 hours . so the government has now ramping up restrictions, sparking a furious fly response. i should say on the streets of the capital.

oh, wow. now marching in the capital and there was a heavy police presence there. outraged, over afforded plans for mandatory vaccines is what is new homes. it pass passes under the rules. adults in england have to show an immunity past and nightclubs sporting venues and other large events. the similar pitcher is playing out across europe. as an artist, peter oliver now reports the 4th wave of covert 19 certainly isn't over. and while we're still dealing with the new german health minister call allowed 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 ohm icon very into the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive fis wave of the virus on its way brushed. 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 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 robot khaki 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 horizons. the 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, called 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 and cinemas because of arise of covert cases they're in front. 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 the 2 countries. it's also prompted action on an e u 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 cova vaccines that would target specifically the, the omer cron. very intuitive world, the subject of vaccines. there's been a massive push here in germany to get people to come forward. for boost to 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 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 in order to put them into people's arms. we spoke with the w h, i representative margaret harris. she thinks because of the transmission rate of alma chronic vaccinations now are more important than ever the really big difference between alma klein and the other variance is it's the aid 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 size going to be too virus were re infected with army front. so we can see that i'm crohn 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 severe 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 help people around the world get vaccinated. we all need to take seriously the measures to prevent the virus from spreading her person to person until we vaccinate roughly around the world. we are making it possible for new versions to new variants to arise your case. a supreme court has ruled that it was a legal for police to drop a proven to alleged torture committed by british soldiers in northern ireland back in 1971. the case relates to the troubles when hundreds of suspected ire members

were detained, often without charge of 14 of those arrested were subjected to special interrogation techniques. these will let her recognize as a legal or fraud, as me dig. and one of the 14 told us what happened to him i was booted forced to stand against a wall finger tips and tip trolls. small my back post and so my body was actually bold with this constant weight noise that commandment took over your brain . we were denied chile, we all show, were denied you should toilet. they trick, remove my own clothes bookman a boiler should not boiler suit was may day, clothes, my nice clothes and my toilet for 7 days. and that just went on and we're forced to stand against this wall with your finger tips and that in a stress position, the body,

it only stands too much and you would collapse don't. at what stage you would just beating, taken back up up against the wall. and that that was constant for the 7 days. i finished up with the broken ribs. i still have nightmares. i don't know how many different psychiatrist i spoken to on the majority him tell me i've been so for a not long that they don't say a liberal go away earlier the u. k announced plans to introduce limitations that would block prosecutions into alleged crimes relating to northern ireland. that there are many members of the armed services 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 the lot of, to, to align under the trauma, to enable the people of northern to move forward. the council of europe commission

of human rights wrote a letter saying the u. k was denied justice. however, the european court for human rights ruled back in 978, that the 14 men's case did not amount to torture. that decision was later used by the bush administration to justify in hands. interrogation techniques used both by grab an guantanamo bay, e. c. h rejected a 2018 bid to overturn that ruling and processed mcguigan again says that he and others won't stop fighting until they get justice. and apollo gave the british government means nothing to me. i think the word and it's more than i acknowledge the fact that was in the us. the sam was what happens when turn them all black shapes. there's no investigation. so nobody was ever brought the he for the bar last night on his way of certainly don't the lag, his clothes are all done on this thing. there pipe protect and soldiers nests per sadly, or old soldiers being dragged to the cause. i personally don't believe,

but as anything whatsoever. it was soldiers. we want every kiss in court. we've never lost a cheerful court and we're no farther forward today. the bellies policy just stall or delay it. stall it delay it, stolen delay or push it back, push it back, push it back. maybe along forget to go away. we ain't going away. so we're not stop and we're never going to stop on our children and our grandchildren. oh, no. law enforcement say they are overwhelmed as hundreds of illegal migrants are crossing the border wall in yuma each and every day. earlier the county mayor imposed a state of emergency to secure additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people and local shares of describe the situation as chaos and getting more details about how we got to this point is all correspondent, caleb martin, arizona mexico border is buzzing with activity 3000 migrant 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 call me as soon as possible. now the biden 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 this administration if they decided to do in mtv. it was going to cause these problems and obviously the ancillary impacts in up in our back yard. so we end up with the death in the desert, the robberies happening along the border. the pursuits 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 alone, 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 of already been re committed. however, local officials are slamming biden for not doing enough. human is facing an escalating humanitarian and bought a crisis. and it's a direct result of the biden administration's poor communication, lack of organisation 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, and we'll actually divide administration puts people on planes and flies them into florida in the wee hours of the morning. so they've done over 70 flights in the last 6 months out. com la harris, who was vice president and just recently named is border czar by joe biden. doesn't seem to really be on the case. the water call and head of state says he hasn't heard from her since june, despite whitehouse. reassurance is,

why is it that she has not spoken to the president of guatemala? in june 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 company 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 have disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by record with the previous month data doug truck received, we find that records just disappear without explanation truck has repeatedly reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review. the d o j agency

that overseas us immigration cases, but has not received any satisfactory explanation. a number of these asylum cases continues to disappear each month. researchers say the u. s. department of justice is making it more difficult to track at 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 that are unaccompanied on. they need to change their messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to give individuals money because they were separated at the border, that's just a draw for the cartels and for the criminal element to exploit. so now that's why we see a member of juveniles coming across 1st. and then the parents come late because they know that bill it will be reunited. so it's all play on the rules of this administration was 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. caleb martin r t new york. approaching the half way point of the program here, one r t still to come, electricity costs are skyrocketing across europe. it's off the frogs shuts down for nuclear reactors. and all of that happens while russia starts to look at eastwood's off to being snubbed by the e. u over energy. this story and many others were back in m. ah ah

ah ah ah, 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. 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 oh,

good to have you with us for the program today. i'll brand new german sr channel archie d. e. has been accused of not having the necessary documentation to broadcast in germany. artie management has responded saying his license was quote obtained in accordance with all european laws and regulations. as give you some context here. the new channel was taken off youtube the very day it was launched on thursday. technically there is no connection between that and the german t v broke off dispute. but as you can see, has been a bit of a rocky kick off for the new channel r t t. an official for the european media watchdog had some ominous woods. however, for this new channel, the license must be issued in germany, and the application must also be filed her 1st. this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it. so you call the r t d essentially a peskin and little nuisance. that is 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 is claiming 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, they're 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 transfer on tier to transfer into your television, which are under that convention gives us the right to broadcast to 33 countries

across europe. as long as you broadcast for moscow. and those countries include germany, but they also include other countries with majority or significant german language populations, 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 productions, 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 our new german channel has faced even before it went on the air. difficulties with banks difficulties, not just with licensing, but 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 are ready to keep, to keep fighting. we spoke with geo political analysts, patrick kennings, them who says the move is politically motivated and it sets a dangerous precedent. not just the german regular. it's also it sounds like the e u, the european regulator is also involved. but i think this follows is sort of a general pattern. there's a lot of has been a lot of political brinkman ship in germany. i really believe that there is a geopolitical element to this with germany is a really important language block for media. so it is 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 block a dismissal and dismissing off and r t simply because it's russian. they don't give any specifics of why they don't like the content. they just say that, oh,

it's because, well, they must be up to no good in generally to prelude to hostility. when you have all out media war. that's a prelude. sometimes you could say to hoss still it is. 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 its position on the r t d dispute. or the o s. e. 's representative on the freedom of the media told us our request will be considered to cove. it is not the only headache right now for europe. the other is energy costs including soaring electricity bills, which shut off even further this week. off the francis biggest power provide us shut down for bits. nuclear reactors, e d f says it's down to technical faults. earlier i discuss the situation with our correspondent saskia taylor. 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 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 nuclear reactors because of safety reasons. some pipes are power 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. 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 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 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 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 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, is it is unwilling to time to taps on to overflow. market says we've got our own lo, shortages on top of that semester to monta commitment is incredibly high because you and i've very well known went to here, it's very cold. we really just can't give you any more. so what i was looking how the situation unfolds. nichols are thinking generally about how frosty brussels and seem 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, new pipeline is actually on the called me, but i'm at the, 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 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 turning the global markets, a bracing itself. meanwhile, nod stream to pipeline, which is ready to go and could significantly, of course alleviate that you 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 analyst and economist falco hel, my says in light of the recent geo politics and the tensions between europe and russia, it makes sense for russia to shift its energy gays eastwards. this energy priced crisis may prevail longer if we make geo politics an

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 that 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, and the route european union looking for it the whole european energy dispute is,

well it's, it's a big should we say, a big debate right now. and r t dot com, just to click on the op ed section and there you can see all sorts of templates flaring as are russians, and europeans are talking about who's really in control of the energy crisis. checkout r t dot com with back with more of your program in half an hour with

join me every thursday on the alex simon shows and i'll be speaking to guess in the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. the the the boom, but the one business show you can't afford to mit branch bore in washington here we have coming up as the energy crunch continued to squeeze global market call. if you come back of the, a few was on track to hit a record level. tread had to bring in those figures. plus global markets are mostly down for the weakest central bank to take action to deal with rising prices and the latest coven, various. and later, we'll take

a look at the cybersecurity landscape as the biden administration is warning of attacks during the holiday season. got to fax, so today was dive right in and we leave the program with a warning from the international energy agency, which is calling on government across the world to tackle emissions from call this after the paris based group says that global power generation from coal was set to jump by 9 percent in 2021 to an all time high. over $10350.00 tara watt hours. keep in mind globally, those emissions from coal had fallen in both 20192020. dia also warns that coal is the single largest source of global carbon emission. so what is happening here, and why is power generation from coal on the rise majority discuss harbor butts, co host spend swan and christy. i. ben, i want to start with you on this. the report comes weeks after the conclusion of the cap $26.00 climate talk which ended.
