ah, your being countries are divided over the commission's proposal to label nuclear and gas entity as green, with the new german government calling brussels splendid, attempting green washing. lattice german household place reco high energy prices for the snow storms, causing flights to be grounded in america with staff shortages amid all the current outbreak, also being light. and while covey cases in russia of falling overall the case load among children. well, that is alarming doctors in the country. auntie spoke with the chief physician at the children's cove hospital in moscow. our children, the age from one month to 17 years, the conditions varied severity, the children harris, severely l, and in the intensive care unit and dashed hopes it is exactly one year. since the u

. k. court ruled against extradited julian assigned to the united states. we look at the dramatic twist this case has taken since washington winning. it's an appeal a month with good morning, really appreciate you. joining me here. this is our t international. brussels is facing a backlash from major e. you nations have tricked proposed re categorizing nuclear and gas as green, and the g d. new job and government's economy minister branded the proposal a form of green washing me while energy prices in germany had risen dramatically over the last 3 months when compared with just a year ago. so the dubious expense a new year and a new spat is brewing between new members. bickering has a rapid with state,

split over how energy from nuclear and gas susan should be classed in the future. you want to categorize investments in some of these projects as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing. label nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong. this is a high risk technology. it is questionable whether these greenwashing will find acceptance on the financial market at all. that we think nuclear technology is dangerous. we still think the waste issue. as a result, we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power and the commissions proposal investment the new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that lead to accusations that the commission is destroying the credibility of the european eco label for financial investments with germany leading the charge of nations against these

proposals, but could put it in direct collision. of course, with the blocks of the heavy weight. that is france, 70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so convinced is president michael and nuclear is a way forward. he financed a 1000000000 euro investment. expanding the industry will go home, you know, in order to guarantee frances energy independence to ensure our country's electricity supply and to achieve our objectives. in particular carbon neutrality. in 2050 we will, for the 1st time in decades, will realize the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continued to develop renewable energies on the house. the support from some eastern block nations with slovak is prime minister agreeing that climate and neutrality just call met without nuclear energy. austria is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court. if it moves ahead with them,

we will examine the present draft carefully and have already commissioned a legal opinion on nuclear power in the taxonomy in these plans are implemented in this way. we will sue because atomic power is dangerous and not a solution in the fight against the climate crisis. meanwhile, germany is also coming under pressure over its anti nuclear stance from the czech republic. berlin has just all the clues of half of germany's remaining nuclear power plant, as part of a plan to withdraw completely from the technology that prague describes that as being a radical step. our government will have to work patiently and hard look for allies in europe and convince partners. finally, it also has to move forward with the construction of nuclear units and to encourage investment in other reasonable renewable sources. that is the way out of the energy crisis. the alternative is under development and poverty,

and nobody wants that. all of this comes as europe is in the midst of an energy crisis, with some expert suggesting that the crunch loss roy the way until 2023, that moved by germany and closing nuclear react is also could push up prices even further. prices in german neil was twice as high as they could be. there is an energy crisis that the price of the rising. rising cost means that the industry need more energy and that heating your home becomes expensive. we need cheap, stable energy to politicians that run our country a lot focused on the interest of jim and industry and german customers. but that's the hollow, the ideological agenda and fuller to logical agenda. the 1st thing they don't need get because they want to do everything with the nubile. it's

a kind of magic. they believe that they can do that again. as the 2nd ideological agenda, they follow that there are hard core intro, rushing one solution to that coin. this could be the approval of the nord stream to pipeline that would supply us directly from russia to germany. however, with tension tie you between the you and moscow, the green light for that project is far from certain, leaving the scrambling to find the money to pay increasing energy bills while members remain bitterly divided over the future of energy policy challenge even sky artie, paris the wall, the 2nd line of the undersea pipeline that runs from russia to germany has been filled with gas, with the link now ready for exports, but the use certification of nordstrom to thinking longer than anticipated. right? because dave looks the 1st surrounding the embattled pipeline.

2020. what was the year that the great green dream that's a rude awakening. we all felt it in our bills, but no. where like europe, power gas prices are up for 500 percent in a year. this wasn't what your average green party propaganda, booster promised. europe was supposed to go from a dirty oil burning wasteland to a green renewable paradise just like that, which was never going to happen. this isn't hindsight, this was foresight 11 years ago when german business leaders laughed at the very idea. he miss kitchen, german society doesn't like nuclear energy and i don't want to comment on this, but i don't understand how you heat your homes. you don't want gas you on developing nuclear energy. what are you going to do? burn firewood. we don't have even that. he does a good

a siberia to get firewood. jokes aside, pragmatic minds knew that the transition to a carbon neutral society would, would take decades. and it wouldn't be easy, they built newer, clean power plants and new pipelines. natural gas will be a crucial part of the energy mix in europe for a long time. new projects like nurturing to a needed to ensure that europe's mun furniture is met. to reach in on them eyeing the land this project, regardless of how you feel about the gas pipeline or a back. russia is legally approved and constitutionally approved, project must be implemented in germany than a nord stream to is not the project of putin. rather, it is a project where a lot of european companies take part and it should serve to assure the gas security of europe nord stream to has been without a doubt, the most politicized energy project and recent history. they called it an opportunity, a trap, a break through a catastrophe. everyone just had to have

a say, surely is a castle versus a supply to get rid of the caller to get rid of the nucleus. figure he so much of the oil? yes, from russia. i think it's something that neil has to look at. the oddest thing is neither nato know the us had much of a problem with the 1st pipeline which ones parallel to node stream too, which right now supplies germany with gas, which is $5.00 to $7.00 times cheaper than market prices. i would anyone have a problem with that? well, aside from the competition, approval of additional liquefied natural gas exports from free portal and g furthest this administration's commitment to promoting american energy, american jobs, and the american economy. i am pleased at the department of energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u. s. freedom to be exported to the world and is arguably the gist of it. they

threatened to sanctioned german companies, a nato ally, which didn't go down well in berlin. european energy policy is decided in europe not, and the usa. we fundamentally reject external interventions and sanctions with extra territorial effect. much has changed since the pipeline was completed. washington backed away from sanctions and a new government was elected in germany with energy prices at record levels. there were no rush to get gas flowing as things presently stand. this pipeline cannot be approved because it does not fulfill requirements of european energy legislation and questions of security are stop and signal seems like that one statement helps and natural gas prices 10 percent higher and europe, which of course, european families and households and businesses a going to have to pay, but at least the government saves face. and the mean dom, let's join european leaders and bureaucrats, and prayer,

and pray together that the energy prices somehow magic themselves back into the realm of affordability. ok, let's say bring in use of a huge fire that has abrupt it as an oil refinery in rushes to men. region you, we can show you here the fire on videos as recorded by witnesses with black plumes of smoke visible from very different parts of the city firefighters have managed, we here to contain this place. it's not clear what the cause was. officials of this point say the fire hasn't caused any injuries and deaths. ah, marycris putney down the hatches as a winter storm pummels parts of the country. it school is in chaos for flight. so with around 5000 of them cancelled over the last weekend alone, leaving hundreds of thousands of would be travelers simply unable to fly. the weather is at hard at federal offices in the united states capital closed on monday

. the latest forecast permitting of the 8 inches of snow. meanwhile, airlines having just been grounding flights over the weather. the latest only con outbreak has had an impact. and back in october, southwest airlines canceled almost 2000 and flights. just days after a pilot union sued it over its implementation of a vaccine mandate. well, the by the ministration has been trying to impose jobs on 2 thirds of us work as a move being resisted by senior government figures. the buying, the ministration has to follow all they have follow the constitution there, implementers of the law. they can't just make it up. and in this case, they're forcing american workers to decide between their health and their job, and they just can't do it. it's just wrong. kellem open takes a closer look. now biden's drive to battle. a panoramic and the harmful effects. it's hard not only on this popularity, but also on vital services across the country. many will remember joe biden's harsh

words to donald trump during the presidential debate last year, and he won his response from that many dish should not remain as president of the united states remark when those words were said, the cova death hall was around $220000.00. we'll since then, coven death numbers have risen to about 800000. the united states just set a record high for corona virus infections. remember, when biden said that he would quickly and easily solve this problem? how is he doing now back in may, joe biden set his goal to partially vaccinate 70 percent of the population by july, well, fast forward and that 70 percent has still not been vaccinated. what vaccine mandates have achieved is to further polarize the country. a large number of professionals in vital industries have lost their jobs. protests have shaken the country. ah.

even reading what we're doing here today and that is right. yeah. ah, we with with a large number of medical workers have been suspended. is kind of surreal, honestly, because i love my job, and i have been a coven nurse for since the beginning of the pandemic. i've been a nurse for 10 years. i worked for kaiser for 5. and when the pandemic happens we, we were scared in the beginning, like everybody by it is this amazing time to where we have really these people i work with amazing doctors and nurses to set up to work every day. and just rolled

up their sleeves and base their fears and walked into these rooms. not knowing if they were going to get cove it or bring it home to their families. more than 2000 flights got canceled by american airlines due to a pilot shortage. law enforcement has also been hit by reductions. it's not the issue that the public wanted or the, the politicians said they were going to deliver. they'd want this black and white issue. it's a gray area between you're going to have this big gap between qualified police officers who are trained your season. new cops coming in the, the quality of new cops coming in is going to be held to a lower standard. so you're not going to get the best candidates, so do up patrol your streets and keep you safe. it's going to be a very organic living, breathing problem that has now has no solution in sight with so many things going wrong, jo. biden's approval ratings are now in free fall. the japs haven't slowed down

either. in fact, more people have died of covered so far in 2021. then in 2020. so this year biden's 2 main plans. rebuild the people's trust and better fight coven have failed to come . true. they would mauppin r. t new york. and just to remind you, the will hopeful conversation says that vaccination is the most effective way to stay safe during the pandemic. well, it does come for you this, i will be looking at why doctors in russia raising the alarm on the pandemic impact on children after the spec. ah, ah, what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race. his on offense, very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk more when i was showing wrong. when i just don't hold any world to see proud disdain, because of the african and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah ah,

the number of daily cove cases in russia has bolden hob since november when it reached a maximum of 41000 all the same. a number of russian cities have introduced new karone of restrictions. st. petersburg, for example, is limiting access to shops and restaurants for the unvaccinated. the only exceptions are grocery stores and pharmacies, while the only cranberry continues to spread, doctors are worried about the impact earliest strains i've been having on children . devante russian are anton krislofski investigated this issue for us back in december. ah, ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they in through our children at age, from one month to 17 years,

the conditions varied severity for children here are severely ill and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children, but it still happens. listen showing 3 to full in c t severity here. oh my but so this means complete lung damage, almost 100 percent or store or what is especially alarming is that very importantly, just like an adult, there's a tendency for the disease to rapidly develop. meaning that at some point, you know, 10 percent of the lungs are affected and then suddenly it's up to almost 100 percent. yes, that's exactly what we've been seeing. especially when parents wait too long to call a doctor. how old are you? 10 years out there. exactly. how do you feel? no, sometimes i have a headache, but i'm okay. that's not a my point. how long have you been ill? 10 days already? oh yes i'm in my 2nd week. her age puts her at risk, which is we've actually seen the highest incidence, right among teenagers,

2 thirds of the children, a school age kids look between 7 and 17 years old is because they are hanging out together and contact and each other all the time. right. among other things, yes, you out of them, it's mostly tmj. is that become infected because they always hanging out together also because statistically, they demonstrate a more severe cause of illness than individuals of other ages. don't get rid of them because their bodies are growing so fast. and because of their hormonal processes, yes, that mono bye grounds. and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more by the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease. for you to chew within their didn't their money is it is not a harmless disease. it is not sorry that we sound the alarm and there is a disease for which there is no medicine. we have to day the course of the disease is unpredictable. we don't know why someone has it hard and someone else has the easy human. we, as we know there are risk groups,

but for some unknown reason we severe case of the disease and you can be observed among healthy children. ah, here's a child and eventually wearing an oxygen mask. yes, the child is really missing his mother, which is logical. that's why we always talk to him. the doctors are always with him . otherwise, he can tear off the mask that children are getting much sicker than in the 1st way . and worse than the 2nd. and 3rd or yes, worse than waves 2 and 3, which in joker as you are for, for a new, for complications develop very often after coated. i do not depend on the severity of the disease or even children who have shown no symptoms, face complications. what do you think about vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea. no 3 me hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children. also a sort of infection which if children are not vaccinated but will not be able to grade the nathan recollect of immunity,

which will have all been talking about her. so love yet that works in that or what if the vaccine works? so what should the concerns be here? the theoretically, we understand that this vaccine cannot be more dangerous than ada. no virus infections or some of the vaccine is infectious for cell, but not for the body in between. at the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce. the earth, doesn't have any real sinew, priesthood. mm. now, monday the mexican president revealed that he does donald trump to pardon julian songs, but never received a formal reply. lopez abra also said the whistleblower deserve to keep his freedom . name on washington recently won an appeal overruling a previous u. k. court decision not to expedite a song state side with his defense team now looking to counter appeal, not a shadow dusty reviews the sagas, twists and times. his hopes were settled,

spending christmas with his family, and set jude in a sound, spent another new year's eve behind balls in the you case most notorious prison 2022 may be the year he sent to the u. s. after high court judges decided to overturn a verdict not to extradite him. it seems as though judges was satisfied by so called assurances of humane treatment that he would not be held in a maximum security prison all subjected to isolation. serving his sentence in australia is also on the cards they say, but a san just defense don't buy it. the so called assurances of those points came after they lost the case in january. then they came back and said, okay, well we can, we can assure we'd increase in fairly so that should not be actually admissible in an appeal hearing. because uniform a legal standpoint, you cannot just try to bend after the fact after you've lost the case. these us arguments were presented back in october during the to day appeal hearing,

including that he wasn't as on well as is being suggested, turns out as those words were being offered in, quote, by american noise. a sound suffered a mini throat. julian is struggling and i fear this many stroke could be the precursor to a more major attack. it compounds are fears about his ability to survive. the longer this long legal battle goes on. it urgently needs to be resolved. look at the animal strapped in cages and as you it cuts their life short. that's what's happening to julian. the never ending court cases are extremely stressful. mentally . it's not surprising. it's all taking, it's toll not only the legal labyrinth, but reports of cia, gangs like pulse to kidnap poison or assassinate him, as one is spying on him. in his high doubt in london's ecuador, an embassy weighed, received political asylum, while a soldiers, lawyers say this should be ample evidence to throw the entire case out of court. this young report is

a game changer into the appeal because it shows the true nature of the true origins . the true commonality of the u. s. actions against julian now reports that the ca considered kidnapping or killing assange, have cost even more doubt on the reliability of u. s. promises and further expose the political motivation behind this case. sounds fictional, right? all parts of it are true. that's the admission of the then c, i, a director, mike pompeo. they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the central intelligence agency. maybe they didn't, maybe as a cop, just made it up. but you should, i take seriously my responsibilities to protect that information. this can be seen as pompoms confirmation of the assange kit, not all kill story. why else? what do you want to prosecute those sources? speaking about classified activity, but there's been another twist in the story. key accusations in the case against the song of reportedly based on false testimony from a convicted fraudster,

who admitted to lying in the legal proceedings in exchange for us immunity from prosecution for criminal activity. his supporters say all of this is enough to deem the case closed and press freedom groups that question a why didn't a sondors behind bars? what allege war criminals walk free? it is a damning indictment that nearly 20 years on virtually no one responsible for alleged u. s. war crimes committed in the course of the afghanistan and iraq was, has been held accountable, let alone prosecuted. and yet the publisher who exposed such crimes is potentially facing a lifetime in jail when judas saw and was infamously, hold out. here, the alarm has long been sounded over his treatment with the un special repertoire and torture warning he is suffering abuse. only she should die christian, yes, i can be tortured to death. but the reality of it and i not exactly do this, i'm sure has been great. you know, medical harm has been close to him in the last

a isolation of defamation and abuse, and got a call from anxiety that he suffers. and he's being isolated absolutely necessary, and therefore unlawful, even if you, even if we assume for the purpose of the argument that yes, that extradition proceeding is to do that. we have to somehow secure his presence. it can be in house arrest, very legal basis with it. is we supposed to 52 week sentence for skipping bail back in 2012. so he's currently not sending any sentence no, facing any actual criminal charges. sounds like he's a political prisoner right. well, washington professor, team him a security risk and wants him to all the questions across the pond on that task and their rules, his support to say, pursuing a vendetta against the songs. ultimately silent says him, but will also science other journalists in the future. this is a ration. anyone who knows the united states well knows the power of the

sky, the extra judicial power of the cia, the extra talking mental power. yeah. that's what this is. this is, this is what you probably say. 2008 on the wiki, late 1st major lakes. in march, the 18th, 2008. it's from the us army counter intelligence assessment branch, department of defense. you read through this document. it lays out everything that's happened on from 2010. we will get a song by smearing him. i had to spread, observing him by destroying trust. ah, and good from here. wrong investigative journalism. all this time are not the words

serious investigative journalism is our junior. so in a different culture, in a different place, should we say 0. but because he was exposing what the us and britain in particular were doing, he seems of it to me is somebody that when the history books are written, the 21st century jewelry massage, his name will be right up there with somebody that told the truth as 2021 comes to an end student a saw in just closer than ever to extradition with court siding with the u. s. government. so what will 2020 to bring for a start that can be a pills either across appear at the magistrate court, or even not supreme court level. this could even reach the european court of human rights. at this point though, the home secretary may say enough's enough and intervene herself, of course uranus, orange face is a 175 years behind us bars. but would that trial be fair?

considering how fast this process has been in the u. k. chart edwards dusty. r t a london among brings you right up to date to thanks so much for the company watching auto international. oh, you'll be sticking around. i'll return with updates on all of my stories in 30 minutes. ah . m around is driven by dreamers shaped by thinker sent those with .
