the the in the with always top headlines are when are in europe in the country thought divided over the you commissions proposal to label nuclear and the gap as green form of energy for the new job and government slamming brussels plan. as quote, green washing snowstorms are grounding flights in america with staff shortages summit, the armor kron outbreak, also being blank and well coded cases in russia are falling over all the case load among children is alarming. some doctors here anaki, we speak with a chief position that a children's cove and hospital right here in moscow. children an age from one month to 17 years to the conditions, various severity of children here severely l and in the intensive care unit is

exactly one year since k court ruled against an extra. i think julian astonished to america in the program. we look with a dramatic twist, his case has taken since then, including washington's recent winning of its appeal that was just about a month ago with a very well welcom do from all of us here at asi, international in moscow. now, just off the 6 pm. so brussels is facing a bit of a backlash canal from major e. you nations, off your proposed re categorizing nuclear natural gas as green energy. the new german government's economy minister, branded the proposal of form of quote, greenwashing. meanwhile, energy prices in germany have risen dramatically over the last 3 months. let's take out the details. here with our correspondent charlotte sky, a new year and

a new spot is brewing between new members. bickering has erupted with states split over how energy from nuclear and gas sources should be classed in the future. the new wants to categorize investments in some of these projects as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing. labeling, nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong. this is a high risk technology. it is questionable whether this green washing will find acceptance on the financial market at all. that we think nuclear technology is dangerous. we still think a waste issue. as a result, we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power under the commissions proposal investment in new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that's led to accusations that the commission is he destroying the credibility of the european eco label,

financial investments with germany leading the charge of nations against these proposals that could put it in direct collision, of course, with the box or that heavy weight. that is france, 70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so convinced is president lack on that. nuclear is the way forward. he's announced a 1000000000 euro investment, expanding the industry for gallant yolanda 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 really launch the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continue to develop renewable energies. i'll be has the support from some austin block nations with slovak as prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just can't be met without nuclear energy. but australia is furious over the plan,

saying it will take the commission to court if it moves ahead with them. 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 stand from the czech republic. berlin has just all the clues of half of germany's remaining nuclear power plants 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, according to a loss, roy the way until 2023 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 petition. run our country a lot focused on the interest of gym and industry and german customers. but that's the holo ideological agenda and date for to logical agenda. the 1st day thing. they don't need gas 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 audiological 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 tensions high between the you and moscow, the green light for that project is far from so i've been leaving the e. u. 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. meanwhile, the 2nd line of the embassy pipeline from russia to germany has now been filled with the gas, so the link is not ready for exports. however, the e use

a certification of north stream 2 is taking a bit longer than anticipated ortiz but our gas via now looks at what some calling the fuss surrounding the 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. german society doesn't like nuclear energy and i don't want to comment on this, but i don't understand how you hit your homes. you don't want gas. you on developing

nuclear energy. what are you going to do? burn firewood. you don't have even that you'd have to go to siberia to get file little boys in jokes aside, magnetic 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 would 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 mon 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 appeased and constitutionally approved, project must be implemented in germany, we then, unless it nordstrom to is not the projects of putin, but rather it is a project where a lot of european companies take part that 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 try, a breakthrough, a catastrophe. everyone just had to have a say, germany is a captive over his positions. like to get rid of the colon kia, the nuclear. they get a so much of the oil. yes. from russia. i think it's something that neil has to look at. the other thing is neither nato know the us had much of a problem with the 1st pipeline which runs parallel to nord 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 port, ellen g furthers this administration's commitment to promoting american energy, american jobs, and the american economy. i am pleased that 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. 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 still open. see, ignore, 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 pratt, and pray together that the energy prices somehow magic themselves back into the realm of affordability. when america is buttoning down the hatches as a winter storm, pummels parts of the country is causing chaos for flights. as we understand now, around 5000 were cancelled in the past couple of days, ultimately leaving hundreds of thousands of would be travelers unable to fly. now the weather has hit hard with federal officers in the u. s. capital closing on monday. latest forecasts are predicting up to 8 inches of snow. meanwhile, airlines have been just been grounding flights over that of the weather. the latest alma kron outbreak has apparently been having an impact. on back in october, southwest airlines council almost 2000 flights. just days after a pilot union sued the carrier over, it's a vaccine mandate. now,

the biden administration's been trying to impose corporate shots on at least 2 thirds of american workers. it's a move that is being resisted by various senior figures in the government. the biden administration has to follow law, they have follow the constitution, their 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. the u. s. reportedly registered over a 1000000 new covert cases in just the past day. a kill him often not takes a closer look at biden's efforts to battle the crisis. lenny 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 of america. when those words were said, the coven 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's 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 of shaking the country. ah. even reading what we're doing here today and that is right. yeah. ah. we 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 work 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 is 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 co pay to bring it home to their families. more than 2000 flights . got cancelled by american airlines due to a pilot shortage line for us. meant has also been hit my reductions. it's not the

issue that the public wanted or the, the politicians said they're 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 nas no solution in sight with so many things going wrong, jo, biden's approval ratings are now in free fall. the depths haven't slowed down either . in fact, more people have died of coverage 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. caleb, martin, r. t new york. and just a reminder of the w h. o does say that vaccination or natural immunity are the best

ways to stay safe. while the number of daily coping cases here in russia has more than a half since november, when a reportedly reached a maximum of 41000. all the same number of russian cities have introduce new restrictions. some pages, bug leading the way, limiting access to shop side restaurants for the unvaccinated. the only exceptions are if they want to go to the grocery shops and pharmacies. and while the alma con, very continues to spread, doctors are worried about the impact earlier. strains may have been having on children. qualities, anton krislofski investigator, the issue back in december with, ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they in to?

our children are age from one month to 17 years that conditions varied severity for children here severely l and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children, but it still happened. listen, showing 3 to full and c t severity. to period is full, so this means complete lung damage, almost 100 percent near 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, no 10 percent of the logs 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 for colds or you 10 years out there? correct. there how do you feel? no, sometimes i have a headache, but i'm okay. that's not a my hotel and have you been ill? 10 days already? oh yes, i'm in my 2nd week, which are age puts are at risk,

which is we've actually seen the highest incidence right among teenagers, 2 thirds of the children, a school age kids between 7 and 17 years old. why is because they are hanging out together and contact and each other all the time. right. among other things, yes. do you out of them, it's mostly teenagers that become and thanked it because they always hanging out together also because statistically, they demonstrate the most of the course of illness and, and of the tools of other ages get rid of them because their bodies are growing. so fast and because of their hormonal process as well. yes, the homeowner backgrounds and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses mortgage. the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease for you to chew with the name because i didn't there belize it, it's not a harmless disease. it's not sorry i didn't. we found a alarm and there is a disease for which there is no medicine we have today. the course of the disease is unpredictable. we don't know why someone has an ard and someone else has an easy

human. we, as we know there are risk groups, but for some unknown reason with severe case of the disease and it can be observed among healthy children a as a child and eventually wearing an oxygen mask. well, 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 math that children are getting much sick than in the 1st way. and worse than the 2nd and 3rd or yes, worse than waves 2 and 3, which is just as you are for, for his uniform complications develop very often after coated. i do not depend on the severity of the disease is covered. this even children who have shown no symptoms face complications. what do you think about vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea. you're dreaming. yeah. hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children. also a source of infection which if children are not vaccinated but will not be able to

grade the necessary collective immunity, which will have all been talking about or so long yet that works in that book with 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 infection. well, some of the vaccine is infectious for cell, but not for the body in between that the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce or doesn't have any real sinew. please hood me. on monday the mexican president revealed that he actually donald trump, to pardon jewelry and sounds, but apparently never got a formal reply. lopez open a door also said there was a blow, it is of to quote, keep his freedom. meanwhile, washington recently won an appeal overruling a previous u. k. court decision not to expedite a sun state side. so as defense team now is looking to count her appeal, just for a moment. here on the program ortiz shot, it was dashed,

looking back over the saw goes twists and turns. to date, his hopes were settled, spending christmas with his family, and set jude in a sound, spends another new year's eve behind bars. in the u. case most notorious prison 2022 may be the year he sent to the u. s. after high court judge has 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 sanchez defense don't buy it. the so called to 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 can treat him fairly. so that should not be actually a miserable appeal hearing because a uniform, a legal standpoint, you cannot just try to amend 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, as being suggested. turns out, as those words were being uttered in court by american noise. a sound suffered a mini throat. julian is struggling and i fear this menu stroke could be the precursor to a more major attack. it's 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 in the zoo, it cuts their life short. that's what's happening to julian. the never ending court cases are extremely stressful. mentally. close, surprising. it's all taking. it's toll not only the legal labyrinth, but reports of cia gangs like plots to kidnap poison or assassinate him, as one is spying on him. and his high doubt in london's ecuadorian embassy weighed, received political asylum, while the soldiers, lawyers say that 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, conceit of 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? or parts of a 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 kid, not all kill story. what 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 son 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 has support to 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 us 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 huge in a saw and was infamously, hold out of london's ecuadorian embassy in 2019, he was thrown in jail right here. the alarm has long been sounded over his treatment with the un special repertoire and torture warning he is suffering abuse, only shine prison. yes i can be tortured to death. but the reality of the idea,

and i'm not exaggerating duties on. great, you know, medical harm has been close to him in the last decade. shoot out to constantino isolation, defamation, and abuse, and a call from anxiety that he suffers. and he's being isolated absolutely unnecessary, and therefore unlawful, even if you, even if we assume for the purpose of the argument that yes, that extradition proceeding is the damage we have to somehow secure its presence. it can be in the house arrest for legal basis for this 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 event data against the science,

ultimately silences 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 cia, 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 wiki late. first major late in march, the 18th, 2008. it's from the u. s. army counter intelligence assessment branch, department of defense. you read through this document. it lays out everything that's happened on from 2010, but we will get a song i smearing him. i just spread upsetting,

and i destroying trust me. i am good from here. wrong investigative journalism. all this times are not the words. serious investigative journalism is our jr. a different culture in a different place should we seems a hero. but because he was exposing what the us and britain in particular were doing, he seems of in to me is somebody that when the history books are written, the 21st century, julie massage, his name will be right up with somebody that told the truth as 2021 comes to an end, jude, an assault just closer than ever to extradition with court siding with the u. s. government. so what will 2020 to bring for start that can be appeals 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,

during assange face is a 175 years behind us bars. but with that trial, be fair, considering how fast this process has been in the u. k. chart edwards dusty, ot london and you can read more about what might be the fate of juliana songs. how is it future going to pan out? read more to our teeth or coma, more reports options, youtube channel as well. thanks for joining us. more to come when we return ah christmas. the traditional yuletide holiday. this year i'm making this traditional with a special christmas guide me christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes oral your parents are properly numbered

a holiday agenda and make us no woman instead of snow man or even better at this new person designed for themselves. ah, ah, ah, now gifts. no, don't so teddy, better prepare your children for the brave new world. and remember, diversity is not at i o is no longer an appropriate costume. this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dia, community. mm hm. and obviously, sandra, know, has to be cancelled. i because he is a white,

his gender male who amuses mrs. close discriminate against children based on behavior, whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kid center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions. stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide, oh and by i concur so those with

.
