it went over there, he was walking, one of the gods says, why do you wear again? will you stay on? nothing? they take it off it. i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings. we certainly wouldn't have the number of deaths today, european gas prices peak at old time records is the continent phase. is a double whammy of power shortages and freezing temperatures. totally shut the preschool your current tension in european state school. he responded to every step . every step go to a game was getting worse and worse. absolutely. president potent criticizes america and nato's eastwood expansion note, and that moscow's ready to deal with hostile actions as russia's defense chief or private u. s. military contract as an east. you craig preparing provocations involving

chemical components and the british prime minister's approval ratings plumbing to an historic low. as the fallout grows over revelations of repeated violations of coated rules last year, at the same time as the countries health workers lining up to accuse him of exploitation. the page, you know, they've done nothing to address the pay. there's been no ester, i'd seen, from lack of mentor, to tackle the tension within the black pool. ah, hi, there live from out internationally. moscow, welcome to our world news, a 10 with me, kevin, our 1st and gas prices in europe continue to break records the know 6 times the amount in early summer. peter, all of it brings us up to speed tonight. record break in day when it comes to the
2:02 pm
price of gas in europe. that has topped $2000.00 per 1000 cubic meters of gas for the 1st time ever. it's come about after a gas bron, the russian energy giant didn't book any gas transit through poland on the jamar europe pipeline in its most very basic sense. that meant no extra gas would be arriving in germany. now. gas from continues to live up to the contracts. it has with european nations like germany and others. but what it's not doing is sending any extra on to the market. what that means is there's an increased demand and well not the supply as i said. so that means that prices have gone right open. fact they've gone through the roof this month alone. prices have risen by 40 percent since the summer they've gone up 300 percent and that is started to take a toll on energy companies and number of them deciding that this is just too rich for their blood. and they've had served while they fall,
2:03 pm
that they've had to file for bankruptcy. the latest to do that is neck and, and strong. here in germany they supplied power to some, 13000 homes across the country. they'll not be doing that anymore as they decided they just can't be part of this with the energy price. so high. now, i said that gasper on continues to live up to the contracts which it signed. however, that hasn't stopped european leaders from suggesting that russia is using energy is using gas supply in an attempt to try and exert political influence over some countries in europe. rogers used energy as a tool for political influence, the for instance, in moldova. and while it is strictly speaking, fulfilling its commitments on gas supplies, many seats, current refusal to increase export volumes to europe, or to refill gas from own storage facilities as a means to exert pressure on the ear. and specifically to secure the regulatory licensing of north street to the kremlin spokesman the method of best. gov as said this isn't an issue for. busy the russian government that this is an issue between
2:04 pm
europe and gas, prominent questions on this whole subject, well shouldn't be directed towards the kremlin. they need to go to gas pro mm h q to mr. to serve. know what is the reason for the decrease in gas deliveries, fire the mouth euro pipeline with gas now going in the reverse directional, is there a link between a suspension of supplies the germany and the north stream to pipeline it up. so, you know, there is no link, it's a purely commercial issue, and it's up to gus prompt to explain the reasons. well, when you look at the prices, it's clear to see why this is such a big su, $4.00 to $4.00, and a half time increases across europe when it comes to gas prices. as i said, huge demand for russian gas in europe at the moment. it had been hoped that the, the nord stream to gas pipeline would be able to, to slake some of that thirst for gas. the plan was that that would be able to provide as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of gas every single year,
2:05 pm
directly into germany, and then on towards the rest of europe. however, it's found itself snarled off in a bureaucratic process when it comes to certification. here in germany right now, we're hearing it may well not be approved until the 2nd half of 2022. this is after we had thought it would be offered running by well, now that was after the united states lifted sanctions against the north stream to company earlier in 2021 that had previously called the let caused delays on that project. or is unco from germany's economic development association suggest the worst has yet to come, than the focus on renewables is unlikely to stop the crisis either will definitely be something winter. i think when we look at the energy prices, the top of the iceberg is not reached. so it may still become higher than expected . at the moment. we should not forget that all the discussion we make around
2:06 pm
a logical sustainability aspect should not forget about security of supply at the same level. because from my point of view, i think the development of renewable energy sources that's been overestimated. the climate guilds set up in the european framework as well as the renew them and government coalition agreement quite a bit. as the also technological modernization in the production, the distribution of gas and condition, should be managed, needs to be put into a broader context of europe. realistic geopolitical opportunities, private us military contract is may be preparing a provocation, involving chemical components of east and ukraine. is the warning from rushes defense chief ministries, annual meeting, present post, and also spoke outlining worries about nato's eastern expansion and saying that block will be responsible for any escalation just preschool. the contention in
2:07 pm
europe is the united states, fulton, russia, had to respond that every step at every step goes to it. it was getting worse and worse. and today we're in a situation where we have to make decisions showed above vladimir putin and defense minister showing go outlined the security and defense situation and russia where things stand the piece of modernization. they also mentioned that the degree of modernization, as in russia's military, is one of the highest in the world. but they also spoke about the challenges facing russia. missed the show go, for example, mentioning more than a 100 american private military contractors who are currently on the front lines in the civil war in ukraine, which is very close to russia's borders, how liberal they're instructing a ukrainian military personnel there. and also, mister shaw, you mentioned that they have information that perhaps are american private military
2:08 pm
contractors are preparing a chemical provocation for those. and so when i talk continues, it's military assimilation of ukraine's territory. it's been established that there are currently more than a $120.00 employees of us private military companies, crescent in the finance region. here they are equipping firing positions and the residential buildings and, and public facilities assisting ukrainian special forces and radical on groups to prepare for active hostilities, some canisters, with an identified chemical components with the liberty carry out provocations in the region as your room with regards to international themes, vladimir putin, himself spoke about the continuing encroachment of american un, nato forces towards russian borders. he reminisces about the past, for example, spoke about with how close her relations were between rush and the united states and ways gone decades ago when cia offices good were openly advising the russian government, telling them what steps to take,
2:09 pm
what policies go from the to pursue where now emerge military personnel was stationed in russian nuclear silo, overseeing things there. how can cosy relations between the united states and russia were at the time, but then things began to collapse lead. if i leave the united states, he said, because perhaps high on victory, a presumed victory in the cold war. we will began funding, separatist and terrorist movements and organizations in chechnya, for example, which led me to misery and countless debts. he said new things since then had grown worse and worse. we have sheep, continued the waves of expansion, nato expansion towards russia. despite the fact that nato promised russia, but that wouldn't happen after the collapse of the soviet union. the situation since then vladimir putin says, has continued to worsen with nato, a considering ukraine's application to join, which potentially means american missiles stationed in ukraine. the flight of,
2:10 pm
of those missiles would be at 10 minutes. flight time to moscow. they were hypersonic missiles, 5 minutes launch from ukraine to reach moscow, which for russia is entirely unacceptable. it leaves no time to react, which is why russia, as low as drawn its red line, which is why russia now demands security guarantees that noted native won't expand that infrastructure into ukraine. this is a matter in which russia's prepared to take the most severe measures that may put in also said that even if security guarantees are given, that they can't be trusted because the united states has a habit of manipulating or, or using international law to, to suit its purposes when it needs the un, it uses the un, if mentioned that it or it remembers it when it doesn't, he, the u. s. and forgets it exists. and similarly,
2:11 pm
the united states pulls out of interest, loves to follow other cheeses at will from the intermediate nuclear forces street, here from the open skies treaty with or without explanation. and vladimir putin says russia stands ready to guarantee its own security. would you put those union you case? a western coal is continued to push their clearly aggressive line. we will respond with the appropriate military and technical measures will provide a tough response to any unfriendly moves. and i want to stress, we have the full right to do this. like we are pohden also said that the russia doesn't want any bloodshed at once. stability at once peace and corporation, but that it will take steps to ensure its own security, as he said, is that it is russia's right as it is the right of, of every state. you also are made sure to mention that russia doesn't want exceptional special conditions. for itself, all at once,
2:12 pm
ease for its security to be guaranteed ahead of the talks, the defense ministry put a brand new submarine from the pacific fleet through his paces launching an underwater caliber cruise missile. the weapon, the successfully struck its target on mainland russia. after travelling more than a 1000 kilometers from the sea of japan, much interested open the door while the russian motor is also been showcasing its 1st strike drone as well. we'll take a look at that said later in the program. really good british prime ministers approval rating as nosedive to a record low boris johnson currently has just half the support he had at the start of the pandemic. most people polled now believe he won't believe the government and he is time. the main reason seems to be the almost daily damning revelations and photos suggesting the downing street staff conservative party workers, and even the pam himself violated cove address with his family and staff, sharing wine and cheese in the down the street garden. when the rest of the country
2:13 pm
was under strict laws on social mixing during the 1st lockdown. but despite the photo evidence, johnson rejects, there was any wrong doing do you normally have wine and cheese air, where meetings with people at work, those with meetings of people at work talk about this is where i live and where i work are. those are meetings of people at work, talking about work, adding to the british prime minister's woes as an open letter by national health service stuff accusing his government of exploiting them is after he asked medics to help deliver the fastest and biggest vaccination drive to stave off the surging omicron cove it varied the health work as though say they're being asked for more and more, but a getting nothing in return. we would like to ask each and every one of you why, despite our incredible efforts you continue to exploit us. on behalf of the whole n h s workforce, we want you to acknowledge the damage. you have cost apologize and let someone else fix your mess. the in a chest needs to be removed from the political playground. people's lives aren't
2:14 pm
again. so to nature's nurse is scaled back her work because of the immense pressure . she says, she says, no effort by the government to tackle the issues medical staff are facing where we're already seeing like widespread shortages. that all having a massive impact on patient care. and not only that, i think working under those conditions where you are short staffed, then impacts the workers as well and, and it's kind of like a cycle, it becomes unbearable. and so that i think is a massive reason why i just stay and people walk away and drive. i myself have left the road. i was in a contracted role. i've left that now and i just do agency type nothing. the paid. you know, they've done nothing to address the pay on the 3 percent that they have given you know, inflation this year for them. so it's not felt by, by the stuff you know, why would they stay under this pressure doing this thought?
2:15 pm
what if they're not being paid fairly and they don't feel valued? there's been no, no s that i've seen from the government to, to tackle retention within the work. on the way. i know so many colleagues why the fact that we haven't had to pay addressed the fact that we've with now asked to increase the amount of in a booster jobs that we're getting. and that is gonna have an effect then on the services that we can offer off. it's a lot, a lot of pressure at the moment and people are tired, they all devalued that demoralized and i can't see anything that this government is doing at the moment to address that home or m p. for the case, liberal democrats says that last week's defeat, the conservative party in local elections was another blow to boris johnson's leadership. amid those plummeting of poll ratings, no one really believes that the garden party was, in fact,
2:16 pm
a work meeting. the deputy prime minister made it worse by claiming we knew it was a work meeting because everyone was wearing suits. it's caused me to kill and boss kind of avoids all of this by simply saying, we're not going to legislate for a lockdown. we just ask people to co operate in a lockdown because no one's perfect. and it stopped double standard, which has caused a lot of grieving people who couldn't even go to their parents or friends, funerals, to feel that they have been treated like fools by the prime minister. and that's not a sustainable possession. first, johnson has been the most successful party leader for the conservatives since margaret thatcher. and he has definitely been regarded as another lecture. last that you write a desirable leader when it comes to eating votes for the bi election, which the conservatives last to liberal democrats. after 200 years of holding seat,
2:17 pm
there is a think gins to call into question the one thing we could always depend on boris johnson to deliver, which was victory without slots track record a victory band with a continuing ongoing problems from accusations essays for assumptions and trouble right for the the british medical journal, one of the world's leading industry publications has lashed out at facebook for incompetent fact checking that lead to one of its articles being blocked of followers report, legal, missing context flag for its report or major flows in the fight vaccine trial shot it was dusty reports. the british medical journal, which is one of the world's most prestigious writings facebook for inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible fact checking us even legitimate information like their own as being granted as this information. readers began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share our article. some report had been unable
2:18 pm
to share it. many others reported having their post flags with warning about missing context. we find the fact check before and by lead stories to be inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible. it fails to provide any assertions, the fact that the b m g article got wrong. so this was all in relation to a journal that was published earlier last month by the b m j themselves and shed on social media. the article included materials revealing a host of paul clinical trial research practices that they all, he could impact the data integrity and of course, patient safety all within this contract research company that was working, helping to deliver the pfizer vaccination now, according to the bmc this article really had trouble being shared online and somewhat even branded with these warnings, saying that they were independent fact check is the same as information could even
2:19 pm
mislead people. obviously they were very, very angry indeed, but meta has hit back saying that that check has a working around the clock to look at information and see. but if any content has any missing information they will be affected. of course, the missing context label applies to content that while true or real might still be misleading because crucial information is missing. we would like to point out the lead stories are not involved and enforcing said community guidelines and that we agree, this content probably should not be blocked. well, they also went on to say that and 2 boxes use this article as proof that the entire clinic trial was fraudulent, and indeed the vaccine was unsafe. but for the b m. j, it's simply on acceptable. they are, of course, a highly reputable source of information here in the united kingdom and obviously allegations like that will seriously discredit them. they also say, well, they're presenting its facts. however, facebook may be looking at it more like it is fiction for us to move
2:20 pm
from pennsylvania's under the spotlight and not for the record. she's been breaking . 22 year old lia thomas is transgender and swimming world magazine claims. the advantage of living skills give her over female competitors, is similar to doping. the n c w one. your suppressant requirement is not nearly stringent enough to create a level playing field between thomas and the biological females against whom she is racing. for nearly 20 years, she built muscle and benefited from the testosterone naturally produced by her body . that strength has not disappeared over nights, nor with a year's worth of suppressant. and this strength is beneficial to her stroke on turns and to her endurance doping has the same effect. and in that article, which was quite strongly worded and wanted to make clear, he's not accusingly, it's almost of doping. that's not what this is about. but rather about the effects and advantages of her undergoing agenda change to compete in women's sports. and we
2:21 pm
have to put this into context here because lead thomas, of course, was a participant in males. some accommodations for a number of years before undergoing testosterone suppression treatment. presumably in that year when competition was suspended, you decoded. she came back to participate in women's competitions according to all the rules and regulations the following year. and since then, she's really been breaking record off the record and that caused people to ask questions, no less from the parents. some other competitors who wrote an open letter to the n . c, i and to penn state, expressing concerns at the clear disparity in physical traits between the summit. at stake here is the integrity of women, sports, the precedent being set, one in which women do not have a protective and equitable space to compete as a direct threat to female athletes in every sport. what all the boundaries, how is this in line with the n c, a commitment to providing a fair environment for student athletes?
2:22 pm
again, even from the parents point about anything, the question of the rights of transgender athletes to compete is being raised at school, about fairness, and really where should launch be drawn in terms of that level playing field. right? so what's lead to this? and what's the us, i think association of the say about it. well the n c a has a respondents request for coma and we'll bring that to abuse. as we get it, the university did respond saying that they are inclusive of everybody's participation in sports. they've double down on their support fully. it's almost beneflex is committed to being a welcoming and inclusive environment for all, all student athletes, coaches and stuff. and we held true to that commitment today and in the future ally, it's almost of course i found myself really at the center, the focal point of the scandal and in her eyes. she's followed the rules and regulations thing. she sent me through her medical documents and medical notes and has done everything that's required of her record. and these competition rules. i submitted all of my medical work that i had been collecting for the past year of
2:23 pm
hormone tests and medical notes from my doctor. and sent all that into the ca, and they approved everything and i was clear to compete on the women's team is on the question really isn't about lee. it's almost not even about, as we said, the right of transgender athletes to be competing. it's more to do with the water rules and regulations imposed by sports association, sports competitions, and do that. we provide a fair and a level playing field for all participants and use competitions on this case. simply, it's almost really could set a precedent for such future discussions. that i've been swimming, but across other sports disciplines there's something that's athletes across the world. a coach sports teams will very much be keeping close on don hawkins, who's me a bit earlier that? well, finally, for now, it's that some of the ever taken stock and planning ahead and also for the russian
2:24 pm
ministry defense to that means therefore, staying ahead of the technology game. going to leave you this with the special from the julie shelf of oliver who looks at the military's latest drones system. ah, with we're showing this british for the 1st time odyssey film, the moment a guided missile launched by rushes around unmanned aerial vehicle and moving at target. a ryan. if the rushing on is fast multifunctional recognizance and strike you, id is pass. a number of stringent tests has now been ordered by the defense
2:25 pm
ministry of russia and is in mass production. ah ryan also perform successfully in ministry operations and syria. iran is the production name, but in the russian on it's in are hold it which translates as pacing holes around or in hot it's true and has a maximum take off weight of more than a ton carries a payload of 250 kilos. it's 8 meters long and has a wingspan of 16. me says it's klein. duration is more than 24 hours. it's almond can be placed on 3 attachment points. it kind of use corrected and then guided bombs and guided missiles in terms of its size and capabilities. a ryan can be compared with the american and key one, c great eagle. these really home is 900 and the chinese winged the tank is joined by iraq ta note in russia for its participation in the now gordon, a car back and steering complex as well. it's, it's used by neighboring ukraine in the don't. boss is homicide. that voice
2:26 pm
carrying capacity is also half as much welcome to drone began in 2011 to come for the 1st time in 2016. and in april 2020, it ended service with the russian army. stay in a hotel turn has in a real combat and syria is even service with the russian army while it's younger, yet larger brother ellen with other trains are being developed by the concept company here in moscow. i really need that 1st domestic unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to the international nail clause, which stands for medium altitude, long endurance, u, a v. as mentioned earlier, it can stay aboard for more than 24 hours. initially its mission was to conduct aero recognizance then night. in a wide variety of climate, including in the arctic and in the desert to day a ryan is not only for reconnaissance, but also for training purposes. one ground control center,
2:27 pm
they can handle several air craft at once. the complex comprises of their rural air, crow 6, they're up to 6 large drone within one. the complex at the same time, the complex allows you to maintain your fleet controls and ensure the use of all drones in the air. with the now we're working on a new modification, it will allow one control point a bit to provide a simile, tenuous control, and coordination to 20 aircraft. are you? in fact, this is already small technology also, and the complex includes a ground take off and landing point b, a ground control station and ground support facilities. this machine can lift to 150 kilos. these are optical electronic systems, video cameras and radars for strike purposes it he's, it's both standard small caliber albums and weapons designed specifically for drain 5, i standing near by the check what it engines are. you will hardly be able to hear it
2:28 pm
around a different it distinctive feature is the low acoustic signature, which makes the device almost silent. one applies 1000 meters above the as the enemy can be taken by surprise. in order to it can fly for such a long time, the device must have a perfect ira dynamic platform. in particular, a wing of high aspect ratio is designed on net plant. if engine has low fuel consumption, iran is powered by a piston engine, which is also assembled internally by the manufacturer. that our complex has an open architecture in which allows integrating almost any payloads through to winning weapons in accordance with the customers requirements. because we produce post domestically or abroad and perform the most important thing in the u. a. v is software, both on board and external to 90 percent of it is produced in the crunched on the group of companies. and this is the most vital and expensive work. this is a unified ground control center. 4, medium and heavy. you ease from here,
2:29 pm
the aircraft is prepared for flight. the systems are tracked and if necessary, it's mission is controlled during the flight. also, the control center has the function of a built in simulator. so operators have the opportunity without lifting the aircraft into the ad to train the control of its target loads, communication between other vehicles and interaction with other types of troops. we'll add the ground control center, which is capable to guide all the trends produced by the crunch type company. therefore, they call it a universal control center. a lot of official intelligence is used here. and this is how the rear, what happens, a ryan is during his combat mission flying over the firing range. dover is controlling, if remodeling it is about to capture and find a target did by the way they do by ashley. november 2021. the company rolled out a automated workstation, if several such workstations are installed and
2:30 pm
a ground control center, it will be possible to control as many as 20 drones at once. and finally, another challenge for ryan's manufacturer is, is the very tight lines that the minister of defense, the says for the company. that's all in order to increase the production volume of this and other larger size. drones. a new planned is being built and dibner near moscow. it's launch is scheduled for the end of this year. so it's obvious that business got off the ground and very soon flying. robles will got and protected u dash above oliver aussie ah, ah.
