peter oliver brings us up to speed. record break and day when it comes to the 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 gas from the russian energy giant didn't book any gas transit through poland on the mall, europe pipeline. and it's both very basic sense that meant no extra gas would be arriving in germany. now, gas problem 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 onto the market. what that mean? this doesn't increase 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 moment, a low price of risen by 40 percent since the summer. they've gone up 300 percent, not start to take a toll on energy companies and number of them deciding that this is just too rich

3:05 pm
as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of gas every single year, directly into germany, and then on towards the rest of europe. however, it's found itself snarled up 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 up and 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 cause delays on that project. private u. s. military contract has made preparing a provocation involving chemical components in east and ukraine. is the warning from russia's defense chief at his ministries. annual meeting president post and also spoke to outlining worries about native east and expansion and saying the blog will be responsible for any escalation. so suspicious preschool. the contention in
3:06 pm
europe is the united states, fulton, russia, had to respond that every step at every step, the situation was getting worse and worse. and today we're in a situation where we have to make decisions shows 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 that more than a 100 american private military contractors were currently on the front lines in the civil war in ukraine, which is very close to russia's borders, how liberal there instructing a ukrainian military personnel there. and also, mister shaw, you mentioned that they have information that perhaps are american private military contractors, a preparing a chemical provocation for those or so. a and i took,
3:07 pm
continues its military assimilation of ukraine's territory. it's been established that there 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 grouping to prepare for activity mostella, tease some canisters with an identified chemical components with the liberty carry out provocations in the region. that is 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 then ways gone decades ago when cia offices good were openly advising the russian government, telling them what steps to take, what policies go from the to pursue. where now mary military personnel was
3:08 pm
stationed in russian nuclear silo, overseeing things there. how can jose 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 and 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 to believe it a misery and countless death. he said nothing since then had grown worse and worse . we have sheep continued the waves of expansion, nato expansion towards russia. just like the fact that nato promised rush out of it, but that wouldn't happen after the collapse of the soviet union. the situation since then vladimir putin says, has continued to worst with nato, a considering ukraine's application to join, which potentially means american missiles stationed in ukraine. the flight of, of those missiles would be at 10 minutes. flight time to moscow. they were
3:09 pm
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 need her, won't expand that infrastructure into ukraine. this is a matter in which rushes prepared to take the most. the 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, it mentioned that it remembers it when it doesn't need the u. s. and forgets it exists. and similarly, the united states pulls out of internet loved to follow other treaties at will from
3:10 pm
the intermediate nuclear forces treat you from the open skies treaty with or without explanation. and vladimir putin says russia stands ready to guarantee its own security. would you? but those union u k. so 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. let me appleton also said that the russia doesn't want any bloodshed at once. stability, 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 a made sure to mention that russia doesn't want exceptional special conditions for itself all at once. ease for it security to be guaranteed ahead of the talks,
3:11 pm
the defense ministry put a brand new submarine from the pacific fleet. through its paces, launching an underwater caliber cruise missile. the weapons successfully struck its target on mainland russia. after travelling more than a 1000 kilometers, alysia of japan will go to look. elsewhere, denied the beleaguered british prime minister's approval ratings. nose dived to a record low boris johnson currently has just half the support he had at the start of the pandemic. most people pulled now believe he won't be leading 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 pay. mm hm. self violated covered restrictions last year. the latest picture published by the guardian shows boris johnson with his family and staff, sharing wine and cheese and the down the street garden when the rest of the country was under strict laws on social mixing during the 1st lockdown. but despite the photo evidence, johnson rejects, there was any wrongdoing,
3:12 pm
do you normally have wine and cheese air? when 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 meetings of people at work talking about work adding to the british prime ministers, woes as an open letter by national health service stuff accusing as government of exploiting them. it's after he asked medics to help deliver the fastest and biggest vaccination drive to stave off the surging omicron cove at variant. the health work as though say they're being asked for more and more and 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 n a chest needs to be removed from the political playground people's lives aren't again. we spoke to chess nurse who said she'd scaled back her work of late because of the immense pressure. she says she
3:13 pm
sees no effort by the government to tackle issues medical stuff or facing where we're already seeing like widespread, so shortages, but 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 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 will wait and drive. i myself have left the roll. i was in a contracted role. i've left that now and i just do agency type nothing. the page. you know, they've done nothing to address the pay on the 3 percent that they have given you know, inflation that she has 4 percent so it's not felt by, by the stuff you know, why would they stay and did a pressure doing miss thought, what if they're not being paid fairly and they don't feel valued, there's been no,
3:14 pm
no s that i've seen from the government to, to tackle retention within the work. on the way. i know so many colleagues of why the facts that we haven't had to pay addressed. the fact that we've with now asked to increase the amount of boost jobs that we're getting, and that is going to have an effect then on the services that we can offer. 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 the former and pay for the liberal democrats says last week's defeat for the conservative party and local elections was another blow to boris johnson's leadership. amid those plummeting poll ratings, no one really believes that the garden party was in fact 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 burse
3:15 pm
kind of avoids all of this by simply saying, we're not going to legislate for a long time. we just ask people to co operate in a lockdown because no one's perfect. and it's that 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 position. first, johnson has been the most successful party leader for the conservatives since margaret thatcher. and he has definitely been regarded as another electoral asset to a desirable leader when it comes to adding votes. the bi election, which the consultants last to liberal democrats after 200 years of holding a seat, begins to call into question the one thing you could always depend on boris johnson to deliver, which was victory without slat track record a victory. and with
3:16 pm
a continuing ongoing problems and accusations of hypocrisy or assumptions in trouble. right. but the british medical journal, meantime one of the world's leading industry publications as lashed on facebook for incompetent fact checking the lead to one of its articles being blocked. follow is reportedly go to a missing context flag for its report or major flows in a fight vaccine trial shot was dash the report tonight. the british medical journal, which is one of the while most prestigious, is now roasting facebook for inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible fact checking us even legitimate information like their own as being branded as disinformation read. it began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share our article. some report had been unable to share it. many others reported having their post flags with warning about missing context. we find the fact check be formed by lead stories to be inaccurate,
3:17 pm
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 pm j themselves and shed on social media. the article included materials revealing a host of poor clinical trial research practices that they all 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 b, m. j. this article really have trouble being shared online and somewhat even branded with these warnings. saying that they were independent, fact checkers were saying this information could even mislead people. obviously they were very, very angry indeed. but matter has hit back saying that that fact checkers a, working around the clock to look at information and see. but if any content has any
3:18 pm
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 is 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 what they're presenting is facts. however, facebook may be looking at, it's more like it's fiction for us to move from pennsylvania's under the spotlight or not for the record. she's been breaking 22 year old, lia thomas,
3:19 pm
his transgender and swimming world magazine now claims the advantage of letting skills giver over fema competitors is similar to doping. the n c double a one year suppress requirement is not nearly stringent enough to create a level playing field between thomas and the biological females against whom she is racing finale. 20 years she built muscle and benefited from the testosterone naturally produced by her body. that strength has not disappeared over night, nor were the years worth of the presence, and this strength is beneficial to her stroke on turns and to her endurance doping has the same effect. in that editorial piece drawn loan, we but his questions not so much about the right of transgender athletes to compete in sports. i don't think that's up for the bait is mostly with fairness and boundaries and the rules under which they compete. 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 undergoing agenda changed to
3:20 pm
compete in women's sports. and we've put this into context here because lead thomas, of course, was a participant in males immigration for a number of years before undergoing testosterone suppression treatment. presumably in that year when competitions were suspended, due decoded, she came back to participate in women's competitions. according to all the rules and regulations that following year. and since then, she's really been breaking record off the record. and that's cause 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 summits 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
3:21 pm
a fair environment for student athletes? 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 loans be drawn in terms of that level playing field? right. so let's leave this, this and what's the us atlantic association of the say about? well, the n c a how the 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 been a flat x is committed to be a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our student athletes, coaches, and stuff. and we held true to that commitment today and in the future. 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 saying she submitted all her medical documents and medical notes and has done everything that's required of her record. and these competition rules. i
3:22 pm
submitted all of my medical work that i had been collecting for the past year of hormone tests and what medical notes my doctor and sent all that into the ca, anne's. they approved everything and i was clear to compete on the women's team. the question really isn't about leah thomas is 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 they really provide a fair and a level playing field for all participants and competitions on this case? really, it's almost really could set a precedent for such future discussions in 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 done. hawkins was merely a telling me bit more about that. and finally,
3:23 pm
for now it's time of the if taken stock and planning ahead isn't it for the russian defense ministry? no escape either. it also means staying ahead of the tech game. so we're going to leave you tonight with a special from ortiz julie chef of oliver. she's looking at the military's latest drone system. ah, with showing this but for the 1st time odyssey film, the moment a guided missile launched by rushes around unmanned aerial vehicle hate and moving at target. ryan is the rushing on his fast multifunctional recognizance and strike the it's pass
3:24 pm
a number of stringent tests has now been ordered by the defense ministry of russia and is in mass production. ah, ryan also performed successfully in ministry operations and syria. iran is the production name, but in the russian army in hold it which translates as pacing holes around or in hot it's drone, 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 meters. it's flying. 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 it finds and capabilities a ryan can be compared with the american and key one c great eagle. these really harm is 900 and the chinese wing, but the tank is joined by rock town then in russia for its participation in the now gordon, a car back and steering conflicts as well. it's for,
3:25 pm
it's used by neighboring ukraine in the don't. boss is homicide. that voice 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 been a real combat in syria. it's, he's in service with the russian army while it's a younger, yet larger brother allen, with other trains are being developed by the concept company here in moscow. a line is the 1st domestic unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to the international nail class, which stands for medium altitude, long endurance, u, a v. as mentioned earlier, it can stay aboard for more than 24 hours. initially it's mission was to conduct aero recognizance. then night. in a wide variety of climates including in the arctic and, and the desert. today, a ryan is not only for recognizance, but also for strike purposes. one ground control center. they can handle several
3:26 pm
aircraft at once. the complex comprises of their real air crow 6. there are up to 6 large drones in one complex. at the same time, the complex allows you to move tenuously control and insure 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 plan coordination of up to 20 aircraft or in fact, this is already small technology also into 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 as both standard small caliber albums and weapons designed specifically for drain by standing near by the chat with it engines on. you will hardly be able to
3:27 pm
hear it around a different. it's distinctive feature is the low acoustic signature, which makes the device almost silent. someone applies 1000 meters above the as the enemy can be taken by surprise. in order to ensure can fly for such a long time, the device must have a patrick's ira dynamic platform. in particular, a wing of high aspect ratio is designed on that plan for 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 ethic, which allows integrating almost any payloads due to winning weapons in accordance with the customers requirements. because we produce post domestically or abroad. and 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 constant group of companies. and this is the most vital and expensive work. this is
3:28 pm
a unified ground control center for medium and heavy. you ease. from here, the aircraft is prepared for flight 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 and to train the control of its target loads. communication between other vehicles and interaction with other types of troops. wheel at the ground control center, which is capable to guide all the trans produced by the crunch type company. therefore they call it a universal control center. a lot of us official intelligence is used here. and this is how the real, what happens, a ryan is during his combat mission flying over the firing range billboard is controlling remotely. it is about to capture and find internet hong is did by the way they do by asha november
3:29 pm
2021, the company roll down a automated workstation. if several such workstations are installed in a grant control center, it will be possible to control as many as 20 drones at once. and finally, another challenge for a ryans 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 do no annual school. 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 policy. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic. development only personally,
3:30 pm
i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah oh hi, i'm max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. we've got a jam packed report for you today. let's get started stating, max, this is the last of our what year has this i was, you say 1791. let's say i thought we were doing this a long time. well no, we've been doing it since the 17 ninety's apparently, and this is actually the last of 2021. and then we're going to break for a few specials where we've pre recorded.
