the now i a t type of infrastructure connected to the internet so clearly realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries can't ignore it because it threaten us national security issue. but if we take the nato and you countries, virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but task forces, they are a cyber army on behalf of a country. that's their job. with gas prices smash all time records in europe with the e. u, again pointing the finger of blame of russia despite moscow fulfilling its supply contracts. it's like doping, a top sports magazine, questions, transgender athletes, participation in women, sport claiming they have an unfair advantage over other competitors and abroad rages within the us democratic policy after one of its own senators effectively

torpedoes, jo biden's, lavish infrastructure bill in the senate. uh, president insists his plan still has a future. ah, hello abby, whether to just turn 18 in the morning, wednesday the 21st of december. i'm calling bright well continues from our to international 1st to europe, them where gas prices have jumped to old time record highs. i'm all countries grapple with the energy crunch. there's apparently still time to play the blame game pointing the finger again at russia despite moscow fulfilling previously agreed contract. gas prom supplies gas, according to consumers, requests and full compliance with a current contractual obligations record breaking 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 means. this doesn't increase demand and well, not the supply as i said. so that means the prices have gone right open. fact they've gone through the roof this month, a low price of risen by 40 percent since the summer. they've gone up 300 percent, not start to take it toll on energy companies and number of them deciding that this is just too rich for their blood. and they've had to, well, they fold it, they've had to file for bankruptcy. the latest to do that is neck and strong. here in germany they supplied power to some, 13000 homes across the country. they'll not be doing not anymore. they decided they

just can't be part of this with the energy price, so high. now i said that guys problem 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. roses 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 fits kurt refusal to increase export volume to europe or to refill gas from storage facilities as a means to exert pressure on the and specifically to secure the regulatory licensing of no string to the kremlin spokesman dmitri pet golf had said this isn't an issue for. busy the russian government that this is an issue between europe and gas problem and that questions on this whole subject well shouldn't be directed towards the kremlin. they need to go to gas pro me h q to respect to what is the reason for the decrease in gas deliveries via the

mile europe pipeline, with gas now going in the reverse direction is that link between the suspension of supplies, the germany, and the nod stream to pipeline. so no, there is no link. it's a purely commercial issue and it's up to gas prompt to explain the reasons. well, when you look at the prices, it's clear to see why this is such a big issue with $4.00 to $4.00 and a half times 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 1st for gas. the plan was that that would be able to provide 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 complete earlier in 2021 that had previously called the let cause delays on that project. on spain, green energy is facing a shaky transition. wine produces in the south of the country of furious over the construction of a wind turbine park concerned. it may cause the shadow on their industry. ah ah, in the middle obviously there can be no fingers where these turbines are built. so some vineyards will disappear, one of the biggest problems damage to the landscape,

which is an essential part of our heritage and very important for wine tours on our mind. we asked at this turbine park not be implemented, you ah, that at all or deliberately we asked the authorities if there is any way to stop this park to stop and let another location be found. we're not against renewable energy. it is a part of our future, but it must not prevent tourism. it should respect our land and heritage. ah. you should. transgender athletes is back in the news in the us writing about the success of 22 year old leah thomas, a top college swimmer from pennsylvania. the sports leading us magazine claim. she has an unfair advantage over biologically female competitors, claiming it's similar to doping. the in 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 does not disappear 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 as the same effect. aaliyah altino daniel hawkins dug deeper with kevin. i didn't see why the editor of leading sports magazine would want to raise the issue now, then that its oral piece drawn loan. we but his questions not so much about the rights 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 john 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 change to compete in women's sports. and we have to put this into context here because we're thomas,

of course, was a participant in mail, some competitions for a number of years before undergoing to start from suppression treatment. presumably in that year when competitions were suspended due to co would she came back to what is a bite in women's competitions, according to all the rules and regulations that follow the 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's 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 a fair environment for student athletes? again, even from the parents point about anything, the question of the right 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 . what's leah this about this? and what's the us atlantic association of the say about it? 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 flex, 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. i submitted all of my medical work that i had been collecting for the past year and sent all that into the ca and they approved everything and i was clear to compete on the women's team. the question really isn't about lia thomas.

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 are suing 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. sports journalist junko body predicts that biological women may be less willing to participate in sporting events in the future. this situation is i think probably the biggest problem the international sport is going to face in the foreseeable future. what is now tell me is the fact that the international olympic commission have said that after the beijing winter

olympics, the suppression of testosterone for a year will no longer be necessary. i think that could mean massive decline in the number of women wanting should take part in not only elite school, but possibly also in sports at char, what we term the more grassroots level need. the lower level of school major rouse, brewing among the u. s. political elise after democratic senator joe mentioned refused to vote in favor of jo biden's near to trillion dollar bill back better built immediately. drawing theory from the white house mentions move is seen as a potentially fatal blow to the president's flagship plan, though not apparently by biting himself with some

people think maybe i'm not our industries hold grudge, but i want to get things done. i still think there's a possibility. can you go back better, john? although biden seemed on face by his allies change of heart to pay the way for further rift in american politics. with the democratic party now facing a crisis of confidence, mas saskia taylor explains by didn't promise to build back better. but then a long time friend joe mansion went to fox news and blew up the president's campaign promises. and i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. i just can't, i've tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there. you're done. this is a no. this is a no and with it it seems his whole party we all knew that send or mention couldn't be trusted. you know, the, the excuses that he just made, i think, are completed and let miss america explained to the people of west virginia why he

doesn't have the guts to set up the policy. it's an outcome that we had warned about. we have been saying this for weeks that this would happen and we took the hits, our leadership needs to step off. now politics, i think the point to go hand in hand, nothing new, right? well, not quite because one of the tradition for the red to the blues to speak to each other across the aisle. hey, it's a democrat spitting. i didn't, chapa, i didn't even take that much. just one man, one veto. and it all came down. what made mansions, treachery, older, more unforgivable, was like he was by do body. a funny face will say that from the president viewpoint, and i saw him this morning. he's worked with senator mansion over the course of decades. they share fundamental values. they're long time friends that has not changed. that how alienating biden's policies apparently become a long time friends, decades of shad fridays and mansion still broke rank. even though he's a loyalist,

even though billed by battle, was by didn't baby. and even though he knows that without the bill, the mid tubs, maybe a block off, if we could get the build back better plan past, democrats will have a strong possibility of at least keeping the senate. it's tough, it's a tough reality. in today's america, where it's party above all mansions, vito spells trouble for biotin and it really couldn't have come, i don't, was time. yes. canister withdrawal on the kron tearing through the us. hi, petra price says a supply chain still in crisis record inflation on a historically low popular $2.00 rating of just $141.00. it's hi, mike, this you need your people move and that's why you need a rallying cry. what does bite and have a party embroiled in fighting his signature legislation in the dot and now defecting democrats with rumors that is just the tip of the iceberg member, we had an individual re register from democrat republican and i think there are

a few other democrats out there that are thinking about it, why not? because they've changed, but the party has changed with what appears to be a crisis of confidence in this changed party. the last thing the democrats can afford is a crisis of confidence in the president himself, but looks like that's exactly what they've got. it's all the real president. it is country joe mentioned joe biden, man and wife for the con charlemagne. i realize it's children by chance. no, no, no, no, no, it's joe biden, which quite frankly, probably came as news to bite and himself. but, oh, kid, the side of course president harris is a proud howard. oh, okay, but kidding aside, the democrats got handed the keys to success. they took over from the country's most divisive president. they took control of both the house and senate, and yet here, just 11 months on their in disarray with the president probably looking on and

thinking that maybe instead of building back better, it might be worth building back a party that seems to have lost its way as you know of a society is already split, anna is growing, spring like daily is growing, almost both parties here in america is a break up within the democratic party. and in the leadership law, president winehouse hasn't made it any better. they are running a freight elections coming up in mid town in 2022, and therefore they may lose that and as well, my thing is shows a lot of hypocrites within the democratic party. i think the democrats know they are in for fighter fight on their lives. they have all and so rather have a cane, so radical dis, they are moved far away from the main stream of america. what american people want, and they know it's going to be a fight for their life. they only all white house, anna, they own the congress and the senate, and they have been unable to get to be back better ah,

program to govern and get it class because who actually bankruptcy for america does what it stands for. deliberations are underway in the sex trafficking and perjury trial of delane maxwell, the pretty socialite and former partner of the late disgraced finance. he had jeffrey epstein maxwell's accused of facilitating his sex crimes against teenage girls and faces up to 70. he is in prison if convicted delane maxwell, trial f. b. i switched your wraps. teens house rate, beg bucks, and big little lies. top 6 take away from the closing argument. prosecution shows footage of 2005 f. b, i rate and epstein, palm beach house, when offices discovered pictures of naked women and skimpy dressed minus, and sex. toys. prosecution says maxwell looked girls into epstein trap. epstein could not have done this alone when that man is accompanied by a posh smiling, respectable age, appropriate woman. that's when everything starts to seem legitimate. obscene trends

that $30000000.00 to maxwell in late 19 nineties and early to thousands. prosecutors believed that was a reward for being epstein. spot new crime. you don't give someone $30000000.00 unless they have given you exactly what you want and what absent wanted was to touch on the rage. girls, it was payments for committing terrible crimes with jeffrey absent maxwell's defence says, accuses, are motivated by money. memories have been manipulated in age of the money defense claims, maxwell is a scapegoat for abstains crimes. jolaine is being tried cheer for being with jeffrey epstein. maybe it was the biggest mistake of her life, but it is not a crime defense suggest epstein lie to maxwell as well. for example, he was seeing other women when the 2 dated. she was a happy educated, beautiful woman. why would she risk at all for one then, just because as they sat,

he was amused to support your lifestyle. use your common sense. so who is delaine maxwell epstein's partner in crime, and madam or another, one of his victims and scape goat? it's now up to the jury to decide the attorney defense forces salseto revised the open fire policies for the west bank territory trip. so now reportedly allowed to shoot at palestinians throwing rocks or petrol bombs, even if they no longer posed an immediate threat. the idea maintains the preferred outcome for the soldiers is still an arrest, not shots, but the galaxy of the report to changes is being questioned. let's look at what exactly the changes are previously soldiers were allowed to open fire only while trying to arrest a suspect. and only if the person was still throwing rocks or petrol bumps, not after the attack. the idea that says this allows suspects to flee the scene with impunity. the change was necessary to prevent this. while the policy change

might be new, there already been a number of deadly incidents when the idea of open fire at palestinian protested. in 2015, a man was killed for allegedly throwing rocks at an officer's car in 2019. another was shot after he was mistakenly thought to have weapons. last year, the protest was killed of the he refused to hand over his generator. in each case, the adf is rejected. any allegations of wrongdoing, the leader of the palestinian national initiative though, says the violence is unjustified, justifying the killing civilians. so naughty them and allowing us to use the force whenever they want, anytime they want and whatever they want. even if the palestinians, the actual did not present in any kind, then declared openly that they don't want. we don't want to be on the right sort of freedom. they don't have the rights for some determination and the state. and they

want only to consolidate the system. and discrimination, this will not provide any protection to anybody specially that the disorder struck if you do only it will not affect any legal settlers who attacks listing with not only with the box but with guns as well. and then in their houses, sometimes nothing can justify the use of force and lethal weapons against the people who are not in visiting any sense of the soldiers. pink floyd co founder and phyllis, glad to visit roger waters has also been speaking out on palestinian writes, in today's edition of going underground here on naughty alice indians should have as many human rights as is really jews do human rights matter or not. you cannot cherry pick them, you can't say i benny gats,

have human rights. i have the right to not be attacked and to be and to life and liberty in my family have the right to. but they don't because they live in garza, in a refugee camp and their arab sunday, the enemy, so day you do not have the right to life. there's nothing that tel aviv can do to convince us the ordinary people of the world in global civil society. that they do have equal rights until they do when are interested in your propaganda and your husband are, you know, and you're explaining to us the israel is a democracy. we all know that, that do we believe that individual human beings, i must have been members of our one race, have inalienable human rights or not. if we do then those rights or their right to those basic rights to shelter food, barbara, freedom of life,

liberty, and all of the rest of it should be protected by international law. unfortunately, we don't have international law. ah, one of the world's leading medical industry publications has furiously accused facebook of incompetent fact checking which led to one of its articles being blocked followers that reportedly got a missing context flag for a british medical journal report on the major flaws in a phase of vaccine trial shall edwards ashley reports. one of the world's most prestigious outlets. the british medical journal is on the battlefield on line, of course, with facebook and its 3rd party fact checkers, interfering with the outlets article on data integrity issues in finances. vaccine trial readers began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share our article. some reported been unable to share it. many others reported having their post flags with warning about

missing context. we find the fact checked 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 thought pm j article revealed sensitive material fund by a form of an employee showing poor clinical trial research practices of defies is anti cove at 900 vaccine which could potentially impact patient safety sir, who conduct his quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding. after repeatedly notifying batavia of these problems, the regional director brut jackson e mailed to complain to the us food and drug administration and heavier fired her later the same day. 5 was constructive and caviar, lay to deny these allegations. as the story was virally spreading, the tech giants were quick to clearly effect how the article was shared by its

users. how work is used to slow the spread of outright falsehoods, or to warn readers to think about crucial contexts that's missing and other posts. in this case, facebook user seeing b m j dot coms, article are merely warned of missing context. the latest measure facebook applies. we would like to point out that lead stories is not involved in enforcing said community guidelines. and that we agree, this content probably should not be blocked. it comes as facebook even admitted earlier in a separate case that it's fact checking check box less doesn't have a box for fact, but a box for opinion. the labels themselves and neither false, no defamatory. to the contrary, they constitute protected opinion. social media rouse a more rampant than ever, but those that are supposed to do the meth busting a seemingly becoming the makers of the next talk. checking responsibilities are being got just delegating to some organizations. we don't know who they are. we

don't know. we'll do their colacho, k shenise. i would have to accept the burb perhaps to, to an extent, if you told me that the british to the british medical journal had been appointed is our fact checking organization for the purpose of fall, of soap and medical information needs accuracy. that would make a little bit of sense because this is what they do. this is what they are known for . but those who are meant to, to make sure that the general public are, is been giving accurate information, facts. they turn out to be liars, facebook claim to be fact checking. and now it turned out that fact checking is only an opinion that your facts are wrong. i said the news for now, for moscow, thanks for watching plenty morality dot com for you. and i'll know youtube channel . i'll be back here in just over half an hour with the next. something

with technology is a very big industry and there's lot of opportunities for hackers do move. it is not here, right, but he didn't bring the law in the country you're dealing with why rest him that the major cybersecurity challenge is the sovereignty of laws that cyberspace has no borders, no sovereignty. we ended up with, for example, the national health service in the u. k. the and a chest was completely wiped out for the ransomware attack. if you were coming in to a clinic, because you had a test or you had an operation, they can't find your records. they had to go back to pen and paper when i would show seemed wrong. well, please just don't hold me. you will have to fill out this thing

because the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will the part we choose to look for common ground? oh, should we describe our time? what does the zeitgeist as they say? do we have a sense of direction and purpose? we also hear a lot about the desire to return to normal. what does that mean? now? are we actually living in the new normal rather driven by dreamers shaped bankers and those with

things we dare to ask ah ah ah

ah a .
