lights 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 with with gas prices, smash all time records in europe with the e. g u, again pointing the finger, replacement russia despite moscow fulfilling its supply contract. it's like doping, top sports, magazine, questions, transgender athletes. participation of women sport claiming they have an unfair advantage over other competitors. and a ra rages within the us democratic party after one of its own sentences, effectively torpedo jo, biden's, lavish infrastructure bill in the senate. we look at why it's fueling a crisis of confidence among the democrats.

ah, are they live from moscow? this is our t international unclaimed right with the world news this our thanks for joining us 1st then to europe them where gas prices of jump to all time record eyes. and while countries grapple with the energy crunch this 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. reco 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 prom, 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 the 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 this guy's 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 feeds current 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 to meet the pest golf and 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 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 north 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 hope 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 company earlier in 2021 that had previously called the lit cause delays on that project. while europe gas prices max out, spain, this transition to green energy is looking shake a why produces in the south a furious over the construction of a wind turbine, pock concerned. it may cost a shadow on their industry. ah ah, in the middle obviously there can be no vineyards or these turbines are built, so some vineyards will disappear. but the biggest problem is daverson landscape, which is an essential part of our heritage and very important for wine tours. on my we asked at this turbine park not be implemented, you ah,

that had all of the liberty. we asked the authorities if there was any way to stop this park to stop it. but another location we found, we are 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. the issue of transgender athletes is back in the news in the us writing about the success of 22 year old lee at thomas a top college swimmer from pennsylvania. the sports leading us magazine claims that she has an unfair advantage of a biologically female competitors climbing. 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 overnight, 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. i only routings, daniel hawkins dug deeper with kevin. i went in to why the editor of a lead exports magazine would want to raise the issue now in that aided tauriel piece drawn loan rebate. 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 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 lead thomas, of course, was a participant in mail. some accommodations for number of years before undergoing

testosterone suppression treatment. presumably in that year when competitions were suspended due to code, she came back to what is a bite 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'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 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 was 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 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 let's leave this, 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 flat x is committed to be 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. elliott'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've 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. in swimming, but across other sports disciplines, there's something that's athletes across the world. a coaches sports teams will very much be keeping close on sports in this, john goodbody predicts the biological women may be less willing to participate in sporting events in the future. this situation is i think probably the biggest problem that international sport is going to face in the foreseeable future. what is now tell me is the fact that the international a little commission, i've said that off to 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 are leach or possibly also in sports at char, what we term the more grassroots level need. the lower level of school in fighting is breaking out within the us democratic party after one of its own senators tip the balance in the senate by refusing to vote in favor of jo biden's. nearly 2 trillion dollar billed back. better bill, joe mentioned immediately to fury from the white house because his move seen as a fatal blow to the president flagship plan. although apparently not by binding himself with some people think maybe i'm not are holding crunch book. i want to get things done. i still think there's a possibility. can you go back better, john?

although biden seemed unfazed by his allies change of heart, it did pay the way for further rifts in american politics. with the democratic party now facing a crisis of confidence, the saskia taylor explains by didn't promise to build back back. 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. and you know, the, the excuses that he just made, i think, are a complete and let bristle america to explain to the people of west virginia why he doesn't have the guts to say about the powerful, special ed. what senator mentioned did yesterday represents such an increased

breach of the trust the president. and it's also, you know, this is exactly why it's an outcome that we had warned about. we have been saying this 4 weeks that this would happen and we took the hit, our leadership needs to step up. now politics and finger pointing, go hand in hand, nothing new, right? well, not quite because one, it's tradition for the reds and blues to spit to each other across the aisle. here . if the 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, aldermore, unforgivable, was that he was biden's body. a friendly face will say that from the president's 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's how alienating biden's policies are apparently become long

time friends, decades of shared values. and mansion still broke rank. even though p, the loyalist, even though billed back, battle was biden's baby. and even though he knows that without the bill, the midterms may be a bloodbath. if we could get the bill 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 biden, and it really couldn't have come out or was time the afghanistan withdrawal on the con, tearing the u. s. high pet full price says a supply chain still in crisis record inflation on a historically low popularity rating of just 41 percent. at a time like 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 and the dot and now defecting democrats with rumors that is just the tip of the iceberg member,

we had an individual reregister 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 is who the real president. it is country joe mentioned joe biden, man and wife for the con charlemagne. i realize it's job 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, the proud howard alone. okay, but kidding aside, the democrats got handed the keys to success. they took over from the country, moved 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 growing almost both parties here in america is a break up within the democratic party and in the leadership of president buying house hasn't made an inner battle. they are running afraid they know the elections coming up in mid term 2022 and our forwarded me last. and if right thing, it shows a lot of chris within the democratic party. i think the democrats know they are in for fighter fight all of their lives. they have all been so ralph crab, a cane, so radical debt to how move far away from the main stream of america, what american people want, and they know it's going to be all 5 of their life. they only all white house and they own the congress and the senate,

and they have been unable to get to be back better program together and get it. i asked because it actually bankruptcy for america as what hispanic, while you're with all take it, have you with us on the way the israel defense force is reported to change that terms of engagement with palestinians suspects to allow life fire even on retreating, suspects no longer posing a threat, it's our next story after that. ah, ah, when i was showing wrong when i was just a shape out the theme because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part. we choose to look for common ground.

when you listen to a sequence of tones, you think x is going to happen, you know, why happens instead of distinctive bringing responses in gauge that are relevant to you. how we experience reward and pleasure, while listening to some people looking at this is a kind of music. is it kind of choreographing of our expectations? oh, join me every thursday on the alex simon. sure. and i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. oh again, the israel defense forces center revised the open fire policies for the west bank territory troops. and our reportedly allowed to shoot

a palestinian throwing rocks or petrol bombs, even if they no longer oppose an immediate threat. it's believed with an effect for a month or so already. yeah, the idea of maintains that the preferred outcome for soldiers is still an arrest not shot, but the legality of the reported changes is being questioned. previous policy stated that soldiers were allowed to open fire only while trying to arrest the suspect, and only if the person was still throwing rocks or petrol bombs. not after the attack, the adf says that allowed suspects to flee the scene with impunity. and that the change was necessary to prevent this. now the policy change might be new, but the recall ready been a number of deadly incidents when the idea opened fire at palestinian protest. as in 2015, a man was killed for allegedly throwing rocks at an office. his car in 2019 another was shot off that he was mistakenly thought to have weapons. last year, the protest was killed after he refused to hand over his generator. in each case, the idea rejected any allegations of wrongdoing, the leader of the palestinian national. the initiative though says this violence is

unjustified, justifying the cooling 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 do not take any kind of declared openly that they don't want to negotiate, don't accept the right sort of freedom. they don't want to write for substitute admission and the state. and they want only to consolidate the system and discrimination. this will not provide any protection to anybody, specially that this or that really struck if you do only it will not affect your legal settlers who attacks listing with not only with the box but with guns as well. and that means that houses sometimes nothing can justify the use of force and

lethal weapons against the people who are not presenting any sense of the sort of pink floyd co founder and political activist. roger waters has also been speaking out on palestinian writes, in today's edition of going underground here on our t. alice indians should have as many human rights as is railey jews, do human rights matter or not. you cannot cherry pick them. you can't say i been a get sap human rights. i have the right to might be attacked and to be and to life and liberty in my family at the right. but they don't because they live in garza in a refugee camp and there arabs under the enemy. so day you do not have the right to life. there's nothing that television can do to convince us the ordinary people of the wealth 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, any or 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. one of the world's leading medical industry publications is furiously accused facebook of incompetent fact checking which led to one of its articles being flagged up uses, reportedly got a missing context flag for

a british medical general report or major flaws in a fight. a vaccine trial shot edwards dashti reports. one of the world's most prestigious outlets. the british medical journal is on the battlefield on line, of course, with facebook. and it's that party fact checkers, interfering with the out article on data integrity issues in 5 years. vaccine trial read is 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, incompetent and irresponsible. it fails to provide any assertions, the fact that the b m g article got wrong thought b m j article revealed sensitive material fund by a former and have a employee showing poor clinical trial research practices of the 5 is anti cove at $900.00 vaccine, which could potentially impact patient safety. so who conduct his quality control

checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems, davis finding as to repeatedly notifying mentality of these problems. the regional director, boot jackson e mail to complain to the us food and drug administration, and heavy aside her lay to the same day phases contract to have and heavier later denied these allegations. as the story was virally spreading, the tac giants were quick to clearly effect how the article was shared by its uses . our 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 or merely warned of missing context. the lightest measure facebook applies . we would like to point out that lead stories is not involved and enforcing said community guidelines. and that we agreed this content probably should not be blocked. it comes as facebook even admitted earlier in

a separate case that it's fact checking tick box less doesn't have a box for fact, but a box for opinions, 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 myth busting a seemingly becoming the makers of the myths. park checking responsibilities are being ga, just delegating to some organizations. we don't know who they are. we don't know. we'll do the recalls she keisha louise. i would have to accept the burb, but i'll still do an extend if you told me that the british to the british medical journal had been appointed, is our fact checking organization for the purpose all fall of soap and medical information and its 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 is being given accurate information, facts. they turned out to be liars, facebook claim to be fact checking. and now it turned out that fuck, kicking is only an opinion that your facts are wrong. that she needs for moscow for this ass, thanks very much for checking in with all say uncle bright, but me the next update in 34 minutes to you, then blue ah ah. both oil and gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom, transportation, all of them now have i a t type of infrastructure connected to the internet when

you clearly realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries cons, ignore it because it threatens national security issue. but if we take that to you countries, truly all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but tell us closes they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job. and so it begins 2 weeks of our christmas and new year's, the specials, in which we looked back in the year that was, and parents in the future with some of our roster of amazing guests, all heterodox thinkers, that wouldn't be caught dead on breakdown finance, corporate media 1st up, james howard con certain was diagnosed with cancer in 2000. so when the doctors told me the cancer was

incurable, i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america, florida, and one of florida is the biggest industries and best kept secrets is phosphate in the biggest layer is $85000000000.00 industry is mosaic. hi, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aquifer lane pro. there's a chronic o g i called. don't love to hear that word polish thing, but that's what it is. i'm in 2013, my uncle, our family dog, my brother, who is 21 years old, myself and my father, and we're all guy rob, problem, kidney problems with black hole. and the good play. yeah, yeah. they bill actually where they are. hill is more important money. welcome

a school. if the janitor, it's sandy hook, elementary, had carried a pistol and he heard the shooting down the hallway and people screaming and then saw a young man not in a police uniform running at him with an a r 15 and had shouted to the guys, stop and then pulled his pistol out and shot adam lanza would that have been a good thing or a bad the folks like jenny burdick and those, you know, those net which, why would they think it would be a bad thing for people, legitimate law abiding people to carry a pistol on his plan. so rally started today, i'll be saying a few words and then introducing other legislators who are coming. you heard anything about protests, we expect to counter protest.
