a good plan, right? yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're, that far hill is more important than a gas prices smash all time records in europe with the you again pointing the finger of blame and russia despite moscow fulfilling its supply contract. it's like doping, a top sports magazine, questions, transgender athletes. participation of women support claiming to have an unfair advantage over other competitive and around rages within the us democratic party, off to one of its own sentences, effectively, torpedoes, jo biden's, lavish infrastructure bill in the senate. we look of why it's feeling a crisis of confidence among the democrats.

ah, there's just turn 10 in the morning on wednesday here in moscow. my name is colleen bry. welcome to well news from marty international. first 4, he went to europe, them where gas prices have jumped to all time record highs. and while 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. gus 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 problem, the russian energy giant didn't book any gas transit through poland on the mall, europe pipeline. 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 alone, prices of risen by 40 percent since the summer. they've gone up 300 percent to 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 next 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 death supply in an attempt to try and exert political influence over some countries in europe. russia is 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 fees, kurt refusal to increase export volume to europe or to refill gas from storage facilities as a means to exert pressure on the you. and specifically to secure the regulatory licensing of no string to the kremlin spokesman to meet the pest golf had said this isn't an issue for 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 says, what is the reason for the decrease in gas delivery 5 the mile your pipeline with gas now going in the reverse direction is that link between the suspension of

supplies to germany and the north stream to pipeline. so i know 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 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. while europe's gas prices max out spain's transition to green energy is looking shaky. wine producers in the south, a furious over the construction of a wind turbine park concerned that it may cost a shadow on their industry. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah . ready i mean, to mean fiddled, obviously there can be no fingers or these turbines are built up, so some vineyards will disappear. one of the biggest problem is damage to landscape, which is an essential part of our heritage. and very important for wine tours on,

for my we asked at this turbine park not be implemented. you ah, that in all over the we asked the authorities if there was any way to stop this park and stop it. but another location be found. we are not against renewable energy, it is a part of our future, but it must not prevent tourism, so it should respect our land and heritage, ah. the issue of transgender athletes is back in the news in the united states writing about the successive 22 year old, lia thomas, a top colleagues were from pennsylvania. the sports leading us magazine claim. she has an unfair advantage of a biologically female competitors, claiming that it's similar to doping. the in c w. one used to present requirements 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, overnights, nor with a year's worth of suppressants. and this strength is beneficial to her stroke on turns and to her endurance doping as the same effect on earlier artes. daniel hawkins dug deeper with kevin. i went into why the editor of a lead exports magazine would want to raise the issue. now, mean that it's oral piece drawn loan, we, but he does 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 roof 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 males, some accommodations for

a number of years before undergoing testosterone suppression treatment. presumably in that year when competitions were suspended due to code, 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 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? 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 . what's the, what's the us? i think association of the say about it, well the n c a hasn't responded to requests for comment yet. 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 of 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 soothing, 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. we got some thoughts from sports journalist a john good body who predicts as an issue which might see biological women be west less willing to participate in sporting events in the future. the situation is, i think probably the biggest problem the international sport is going to face in the foreseeable future. what has now come in is the fact that the international olympic commission, i've 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 a lead scope, but possibly also in sports at char, what we term the more grassroots level. nate, 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 build back better build to a mansion immediately drew fury from the white house as his move seen as a fatal blow to the president flagship plan. all the apparently not by biting himself with some

people think maybe i'm not our industries whole grudge for 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 party partner's change of heart. it didn't pay the way for further rift in american politics. with the democratic party now facing a crisis of confidence, saskia taylor explains by didn't promise to build back back. but then a long time friend, joe mansion went on 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, this is a, no, this is in no, and with it, it seems his whole party. we all knew that senator luncheon couldn't be trusted, and you know, the, the excuses that he just made, i think, are complete. and let this lemaire to explain to the people of west virginia why he

doesn't have the guts to say up the powerful special or what senator mentioned did yesterday represents such an increased breach of the trust of 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 for 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 wanted tradition for the reds in the blues to spit to each other across 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 anything biden's policies are apparently become long time friends,

decades of shared values. and mansion still broke rank even though be the loyalist, even though build back better was biden's baby. and even though he knows that without the bill, the midterms may be a blood bath. 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 biden, and it really couldn't have come out a was time the afghanistan withdrawal on the con, tearing through the us high. petro 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 more than. 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 re register from democrats, republicans, 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 and it's 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 job by chance. no, no, no, no, no. it's joe biden, which quite frankly, probably came as news to buy in himself. but, oh, kid, the side of course president harris. the 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. when 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 and now is grand. thing like daily is growing, most both part is he and america is a break up within the democratic party. and in the leadership law, president vine house hasn't made it any better. they are running afraid they know the election is coming up to mid term 2022, and therefore they may lose that. and it's a one way thing is shows a lot of, you know, chris worked in the democratic party. i think that chris know they are in for a fire fight all their lives. they have all men, so rather grab a cane co radical day. they are move far away from the mainstream america. what american people want, and they know it's going to be a fight for 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 to government, get it class because it actually bankruptcy for america is what it stands for. you without c on the way the israeli defense forces reportedly change their terms of engagement with palestinian suspects. allowed live fire even on retreating, suspects no longer posing a threat, will explain that for you after the break? ah ah. well, i, i think

i know ah with oh, when i want something wrong, when i just don't hold me, you will have to see out is the because the application and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part. we choose to look for common ground. oh, come back, the israel defense forces us said to have revised the open fire policies for the

west bank. territory. troops now reportedly allowed to shoot at palestinians throwing rocks or petrol bombs, even if they no longer oppose an immediate threat. it's believed to have been in effect for a month or so already. the idea of maintains that the preferred outcome for soldiers is to step, conduct an arrest not to shoot, but the legality of the report changes is being questioned. previous policy stated that soldiers were allowed to open fire only while trying to arrest a suspect. and only if the person will still throwing local petrol bombs not offer an attack. the idea says this allowed suspects to flee the st with impunity. and that the change was necessary to prevent both a policy change might be new, but so already been a number of deadly incidents. when the idea opened fire at palestinian protested in 2015, her 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 that protested was killed off the he refused to hand over his generator. or in each case,

the idea rejected any allegations of wrongdoing. the leader of the palestinian national initiative party though, says these rated militaries resulting to excessive violence, justifying their killing civilians. so naughty them and allowing us to use force whenever they want, anytime they want. and whatever they want, even if the listing is the actual do not take any kind of declared openly that they don't they don't want to accept the right sort of freedom. they don't have to write for. so did the commission and the state. and then they want only to get the system of discrimination. this will not provide any protection to anybody specially that the disorder really struck, if you do only it will not affect any legal attacks listing with not only with the box,

but with guns as well. and then in that house is sometimes nothing can justify the use of force and lethal weapons against the people who are not inventing any sense of the sort and thoughts on this, on our tea today, pink floyd co founder and political activists. roger waters has been also speaking out on palestinian rights and today's edition of going underground here on our t. alice indians should have as many human rights as these railey jews do. human rights matter or not. you cannot cherry pick them. you can't say i benny gets out human rights. i have the right to might 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 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 shouts of food, barbara, freedom of life, liberty, and all the rest of it should be protected by international law. unfortunately, we don't have international law ah x one of the world leading medical industry publications has furiously acute

facebook of incompetent fact checking which led to one of its articles being flagged up uses reported he got up missing context flag to a british medical journal report on major flaws in a fight. a vaccine trial shot edwards dashti report. 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 phases, vaccine trial breeders began reporting everite of problems when trying to share our article, some report had been unable to share it. many others reported having their post flagged with a warning about missing context. we find the fact checked, deformed by the lead stories to be inaccurate, incompetent, and the responsible. it fails to provide any assertions of fact that they b m. j article got wrong, thought b m j article revealed sensitive materials sent by a form of and have

a employee showing poor clinical trial research practices of the fires is anti cove at 19 vaccine which could potentially impact patient safety sir, to conduct his quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems dave, are finding as to repeatedly notifying batavia of these problems, the regional director, boot jackson e mail to complain to the us food and drug administration, and savvy aside her lay to the same day sizes contractor. then tavia 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 users . our work is used to slow the spread of outright falsehoods, or to warn readers to think about crucial context that's missing and other po's. 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 in 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 arouse a more rampant than ever, but those that are supposed to do the myth busting a seemingly becoming the makers of the myths. talk checking responsibilities are being ga, just delegating to some organizations. we don't know who they are. we don't know. we'll do their colacho acacia. louise. i would have to accept the burb. but al, still, to an extent, if you told me to add the bridge to show the british medical journal had been appointed is our fact checking organization for the purpose all 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 all for. but those who are meant to, to make sure that the general public are, is being given accurate information. facts. they turn out to be liars, facebook claim to be fact checking. and now it turned out that fuck chicken is only an opinion dead. your facts are wrong. and that's it for the moscow. newsroom finance. he grabbed the artie app, you can get a headline, news, and story to when find anywhere else. 247. i'll be back here just over half an hour with the next update from our t international. a coil and gas manufacturing, electricity, telecomm, guys, quotation, all of them now have
