ah mm top head like right now here are naughty international tennis superstar novak chocolate which has been deported from australia after a quarter uphold the decision to cancel his visa. this means he is going to miss the australian open, which starts in less than 24 hours and in the store with its shape the weekend on t high stakes told over ukraine between russia and nato have wrapped up with moscow, accusing the alliance of trying to wind back the clock to the times of the cold war, nato understands the principle of the indivisibility of security selectively. if nato applies a policy of containment against russia, moscow will have to take a calendar with cuddle your pets and do star jobs if you want to stay warm this

winter. a major british energy company feels the heat for it's so cold advice while the cost of energy goes through the roof. i think i've completely lost the loss on that one. i have to say when she paid me crazy now or in house because we're trying to get that down. you just think my, what else besides today with no shortage or big headlines this week here on our team international. let's highlight some of them right after today's top story. so tennis superstar no back brockovich has now officially been deported from australia. it's after a court upheld a decision to revoke his visa. you'll now miss out on participating in the australian open. in the statement, the australian prime minister set the protection of the countries borders was paramount. i welcome the decision to keep our borders strong and keep australian safe. strong borders are fundamental to the australian way of life. as is the rule

of law. our government has always understood this and has been prepared to take the decisions and actions necessary to protect the integrity of our borders. daniel is that it is out in so if a joke of shoulder australian open for sure, even if he was so appeal which is expressed intent not to do all ready, it would be too late for the thought to be open, which as you said, takes pricing less than 24 hours now, the decision. all of those 3 judges on the federal court of appeal was unanimous. the reasons for that decision they will give a little later, but they have upheld the decision by the trade, immigration minister addict fork to revoke. at joker, which is visa based as he argued on the health and safety of australia. i'm the safety and security of the country's boarders saying that his presence in the country would stoke in his appeal and vac cents a month. and even according to him, in sight, civil unrest, the australian providence of scott morrison. this speaking very clearly mentioning the safety of board of the security board of quite what this has to do with borders

alone. critics cannot say including this being president who was very scathing about the treatment, a joke which received a trailer earlier today. it was very easy for us for a little for it is to say from the very beginning that okay, only vaccinated only inoculated people could enter australian territory. but it, in a safe hope. everything completely different story, including this medical exemptions, i think was fairly and what's right for it is cumulative themself was this kind of procedures pressing against your courage this in the years. i think the decision is scandalous. i'm disappointed and i think it showed how the rule of law functions in some other countries, that is how the rule of law does not function. it is incorrect all to me how we have to totally opposed court decisions within just a few days. so there have been 11 days of physical and psychological harassment.

what i know is that novak is always the 1st one to stand for the players, but none of us stood for him. be strong. rules are rules, they say then lose at their own court. then find a way to cancel his visa anyway. so what rules were they referring to in the 1st place? oh, i forgot election soon. stay strong. we can make 3 takeaways re from this court's decision. 3 peas if you like. politics, principal and president is hard to argue. this is anything to do with a rational concern of safety. joke about susan's being perceived as somebody who's infectious is going to infect people oppose a public health risk. he had, he actually turned out to be the winner. if he were to attack the australian open and actually winner as number one, he's or he'll get $3100000.00 us dollars. so he's missing out on a huge potential pay day here. tell us more about the reactions to this will learn a paid a joke of it. she's serv. his dreams of winning a 10th australian open 21st grand slam our our shattered reaction though that we

have to give credit has been very polarizing. we've had people saying both, okay, people have made sacrifices australia has had on the lowest cobra death rates. partly because of their very strong rules. their stringent looked on rules, border policies, rules the rules are, should be no exceptions. here are the people who have said, okay, just really about following the rules. he has followed the rules for entry. his filled in his forms, his provided evidence of his medical exemption is code infection. is this really about that, or is it personal? and certainly people on the street serv certainly following the 1st court decision . we're very passionate and very angry about the way he's been treated ah knoxville himself has said he's extremely disappointed with this decision, but he is going to respect the court's decision. is going to comply

a corporate with the court suddenly, authorities and, and return home on, of course, back at home, joker, which as we heard there from the sub in the president, has in views are not exactly perhaps as a matter of source, but certainly the perception has been that he has been mistreated, he has been targeting single doubt as a scapegoat to make an example of that spin the sentiment in his home country of serbia. i am revolted and angry because i did not expect they would treat the world's best tennis player like this. he did not deserve this additional or no, no, vic is going through is the frustration of our entire nation pursued a career. they had said from the beginning that only vaccinated people can participate, it would be all right, but at one point they tell him one thing, another time, something else, money to go. this is pure politics. the issue here are the principles we live for, at least as europeans freedom, fraternity equality or, you know, i think really the somethings up we can then we're gonna quote why andy murray. he's a step in and said really from the situation and there are no witness. this is bad

for everybody. this is bad for joke rich, this is bad for tennis, for the viewers who paid good money to see one of the world's top sports stars play and who, of course, already returning their tickets. we're seeing mass requests. the refunds are based on what's happened here. and of course, bad for the australian government with the opposition, the saying that they've dilly dally, they've created confusion and control missy with the rules on the should resign. really, there are no one is in there. sandra joker, which of course heading home are very disappointed. i spoke with a professor of sociology in a former sports on media lecturer, ellis cashmore, and he believes the australian government has made jock of it into a martyr by deporting him. this is a manifestly political decision as the world knows dot morrison has a federal elections looming in about 4 months time. and he's been rewarded this morning with a response from the australian public,

which seems to endorse the decision of the australian government to deport joker ridge where the thing that the australian government has missed. that it said before alex hall, the immigration minister said, i don't want to make a martyr out of our hero as a joke of it by allowing him to play. but by deporting him by excluding him from the to the tournament, he's done exactly that because anti vax is around the world now will be looking to juggle village and saying this guy's been persecuted for. no other reason than the fact that he is exercising his individual liberty, his choice not to be vaccinated. and of course he will become a martyr after the 1st victory in the case that was when brokovich was originally released from the detention center. and we spoke to his father and uncle who both agreed to stop should be allowed to compete in the australian. i can say in my name, i personally mean isolated, you know, as a, this is all him, you know,

the other side, as you know, to his, the corona in december, you know, and the, this is not a medical reason to get the luck sign before a judge that she has the full time but all, and he has a real, really heavy and we are so sorry. we like to australian people, but the southern government did very wrong things to know. number one, in the, in the, in the dentist, one of the best force men ever, you know, this is, this is what he said is very said, let me show you, samuel, i can't describe the feeling. we never thought our son, the best tennis player in the world, would have had to go through this, especially in such a far away land, where he had already proven himself was the best 9 times. it's incredible that this has happened to him, but it has happened and it was in no way related to sports. it's all politics. he

didn't deserve the visa refusal in the 1st place. we never had to deal with such politics. our politics is tennis. of course, we expect no fact to win his 21st grandson and his 10th australian open for whistle because of the kremlin, is insisting on a concrete response from the united states to his proposed security guarantees. a washington says it will give it in writing next week. it does follow in depth talks between russia and nato, although russia says those negotiations highlight the continuing differences with ukraine, ultimately being the main stumbling block. let's get the full scoop now here with artes, shawna dupont ski. how do you solve a problem like russia? easiest on the fastest way is for a shot to deescalate it is russia that has to make a start trice, the escalation and diplomacy, or confrontation and consequences. that was the view from the us, a nato, after they held

a series of meetings with their russian counterparts. on the one hand, they repeatedly said that they were there to find solutions on the other. that solution was some have suggested one sided. russia has to make giant strides towards reducing into military presence anyway, me, ukraine. if there is to be a di escalation of tensions for the russian delegation, the double speak was too much. we are fed up with loose dog, half promises, misinterpretation of what happened, that different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other sites. so to see we need iron clad. waterproof bulletproof, the legally binding guarantees not assurances, not safeguards guarantees. russia was also accused of not being serious

about finding solutions to ease the frictions as it continued to deny its planning to invade ukraine. moscow settings for clear proposals before the meetings took place, outlining what assurances it wanted from the west for its own security. that crucially included nato slamming the door on membership to post soviet countries like ukraine, moscow old. so hit out that meters idea of security. it won't extend to non members. nato expansion doesn't solve any problems of security. it moves division lines, but doesn't remove that. so these are the other things to say, nathan large cement is aggressive. absolutely not true. nathan lawrence meant has to be in a cornerstone for the spread of democracy and freedom across europe, new to regurgitated the line that it is not a threat to russia. moscow didn't agree the us and nato continue to conquer

militarily the territory of the countries included in the alliance in place offensive weapon systems. there. this directly poses a threat to the interests of the russian federation. a final stab was made it finding common ground in vienna and the organization for security and cooperation in europe, a supposedly neutral ground, where unfortunately the language from country representatives was anything but it seems very skillful. or if you always see area is now greater than ever before. in the last 30 years, the europeans also went down the smear campaign route, following a massive cyber attack and government sites in ukraine. the eas, top diplomat tinting one can figure out who is behind this strike. the hackers have not yet been identified. and while the west continues to state it is spread

democracy in put security to countries. russia's foreign minister disagrees. the west went too far. let's be frank in violation of all international obligations and common sense they chose to escalate this situation. well, you see the west condemns violent actions against civilians. they condemn human rights violations. but when bloody codes are carried out by those who swear their allegiance to the west, the west embraces them. this is what happened with the ukrainian qu. many people died there, including of the hands of provocateurs and this kid was approved by the united states and the europeans just accepted that as fact. and no one is going to investigate the my down atrocities a mammoth week of talks has ended with well, a lot of hot air, no concrete proposals to move things forward. the only thing that they saw i to, i own really was just how far apart they are and that it talks fail. the consequences could be catastrophic jollity than ski

r. t amsterdam. we discussed the possibility of nato's expansion into what our former soviet states with a panel of guests ukraine and even georgia will. they would not be allowed to become a full fledged member of nato because they have internal divisions within their own countries. and that is stipulated in the atlantic alliance of nato itself. so until those comes, frozen, conflicts are resolved, and they cannot be admitted as a member. but you have the united states and nato moving nato forces up to uh, up to the black sea area. just the opposite and wanting to go into ukraine and actually do military maneuvers with, with ukraine and as well as georgia and, and provide a so called defensive weapons which easily could become offensive weapons. and this

is, this is what moscow sees as a threat. it would be crazy for nato to get ukraine on board. it's a failed state. it is a funny, full time and dangerous democracy in the making as the american say. and it could turn into real war effort. ukraine joins later. not because russia would do anything but simply because to hold heads in here would do something stupid to be alliance should be responsible and not take anybody. and within the alliance, believe me, several countries and not the small ones don't want ukraine. of course, there is an image that needs to be projected of unanimity, but it is not the case. and people realize in europe that it is very dangerous to have ukraine. and if only because of some of the whole hats in the west of the country that hey russia and i could do anything to stop the war. a british energy

provider found itself feeling the heat this week over its a so called advice to customers on how to stay warm and told people to cut all their pets. and do star jumps was part of a response to energy bills that are predicted to double this year. is our correspondent, shoddy ed was dashed. you're weighing up. anything or heating is still the project . it's a sort of 2000 and browse a year. no more as one of britain's biggest energy supply as has come up with no one idea, but 10 ways to save on heating cost, not to any layer up, get the hot might go with install john. and if that doesn't work, how about a kid is cutter with a cat? okay, i don't have a cat, but i do have this guy. another simple suggestion is to leave the often door open after cooking, the capital of your kitchen, and eat a hearty bowl of porridge. and of course, make sure you have a decent pair of sucks or slippers. apparently,

all these are simple cost effective ways to keep warm this winter, but the company can't be serious, can it? i think they've completely lost the floss on that one. i have to say, don't close with. we're not stupid. i, we, we are literally trying not to i hating on really phrasing in our, in house because we're trying to get the cost down. you just think that what else was said today, if that's real advice and the out be slightly and salary by are either hopefully by now why with the event that i need to start suddenly my energy done. i put an extra jumper on seminar. so yeah, i want to be in solid bio for any other company, but that doesn't say i, i wouldn't listen to if they got fixed on contract. that would suit me. the advice and the customers comes as many households are extremely worried about rising energy costs. and despite the company apologizing for the l. judge, suggestions, politicians have criticize the coal haunted approach. it is laughable and insulting

. but then with this government lack of an energy strategy, you almost expected those comments will be right by people who have to choose between eating and heating. if that's the state of the country, we're now and i find it quite depressing. being told to put on a jump or instead of turning on your heating, if you can't afford it, at a time of such difficulty for so many families is plainly offensive. 2022 has already been given the title year of the squeeze of the one since the 2008 financial crash this year. wages will barely grow while at the same time. 7 bills will chunk by 50 percent around 2000 pounds when britain's new energy price cap is set in april. this means in real time people will actually get a pay cut. and the situation is being described as a cost of living catastrophe. i think the health and environment we had 2 years that you could possibly have a business, legal support from the government can be forced to close our doors. we're only that,

we're trying to close our way back. so we're in a pope hotel and everything else. we use quite a lot of electricity and it's hacked fi and i am terrified of the impact of businesses in the country. not just me. when i mean small businesses struggling as it is that just have to stop, repay the bounce back a government and supposedly gave us, but we've got to pay them back. so all of a sudden i'm not going to do that, it's time to money and we were in debt anyway from the lock that i now they energy cost a sore and both electricity and gas, the louis. sorry. and i don't know how we supposed to pay them because we have no income and she is not alone. in fact, one in 3 people are worried that bills will become totally on affordable this year . and i'm thinking in the government to for the bill. labor also piling on the

pressure for the government to ditch tax hikes and scrap via t on fuel altogether. conservative ministers council the 0 carbon homes program. they bond on show when development, they launch the eco installation program. they tore it up within one year. they reduce the u. k is gosh, storage capacity. and it one particularly silly moment the current foreign secretary claim solar panels were risk to domestic production or all of these decisions that have made this country more dependent on volatile wholesale energy prices. them otherwise would have been right now we know this means as extremely situate, extremely difficult situation to really household, but also risks making waterways the british industry and competitive a talk, a combination of spiking prices, tax hikes, the looming energy big bills and the government's a power reluctance to address these issues, they actually see ridiculous ideas like cuddling pats help people overcome this on

the upcoming winter has become a reality. shot. edwards dashti ot london, far as told to come here on the program on your weekly edition. colds for bars johnson to resign are mounting. it's off to a slew of scandals. we'll address them just a moment. join me every posted on the alex simon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics. sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation or community? ah, you going the right way? where are you being led to somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend, have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, top stories of the week here one r t international soaring energy bills and the early issue facing the u. k. government. these days, families of those who died during the you case 1st cope it, locked down, have slammed a so called apology from the prime minister as an insult. and so after he admitted

he attended a boozy downing street bash during the national lock downs. at the opposition and even senior tories have since been putting pressure on johnson with some of them calling for him to resign this voice. i don't think he can continue as lead to the concert to parking play minister, asking people to follow the rules and guidance of his government. repeated when i went into that garden just after 6 on the 28th of may. 2020. i believe duplicity that this was awoke. events may 2020 was a bit of a tough month for britain. much of it was paralyzed by the 1st national lockdown in don't meetings between households was strictly prohibited. and we spoke to one man who struggled to arrange his father's funeral amid all the nationwide restrictions . this is about rules and about who the was applying to become abundantly clear that the prime minister thinks that they didn't apply to him at the same time

. but i was at my father's funeral, he was taking part in a, bring your own booth party number 10 downing street. my dad's gene will be allowed to invite up to 5 people at the geno. say that meant it was just myself and my 4 siblings can attend. there is no physical contract, so we went out to hunt each other. even the vicar holding the ceremony wasn't allowed to shake hands or anything like that. and as soon as the ceremony was over, we all had to go back, came again, they were author issuing fines for people meeting outside people will be fined money for meeting up people being harassed by the police. if they hung around and parks that too long and the ultimate question, half of the prime minister is, why does he believe that the rules that he helps create that he made didn't apply to him? johnson stated, excuse us, father, wave of names on line. even major companies like right now have been posting mocking images. that was not the 1st party gates scandal involving boris johnson.

the end of last year, pictures emerged on line, allegedly showing him taking part in several social events at down the street. of course, all of it during the 2020 lockdown. so no surprise calls for the prime minister to step down. i've been mounting. this is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the press. you see now going to do the decent thing and resign. how stupid does the prime minister think the british people are right now? he's making fools of every single mp exceeded him earlier? well, the prime minister finally do the decent thing. i'm resigned for historian, peace be forced to show him the door. so for once kind of prime us do the honorable thing and resign 17 april sharing a punch. got one thing going to play, medical should step down. and eventually you can do, you know, as go brazilian play manager. he sorry,

because he's been cool or any most resolve in my judgement and all the evidence that since the earliest in the face for the last few months. now, i think it's abundantly clear that bars johnson doesn't have an ounce of self decency. and him, leading by example is really key element of thought leadership and his claire. the not only this bars trunks and not have thought more leadership at the moment, but there's no pathway for him to get back. and that's why, for as long as he remains prime minister, i think we're going to stay in a state of limbo in this country and ultimately is putting more people at risk. when you say these words out loud, that the government has done everything they could to save lives, the so little weights, these words that they can just hang in the, at the messaging throughout has been terrible. the following of their own scientific voices has been at best patchy, and at worst they've gone against scientific advice. and the result has been nearly

about a $175000.00 dust now, which is deep upsetting. ah, prince andrew, the queen's 2nd son has been stripped of his military title at a high profile sex abuse case. you will also no longer be known as his royal highness and any official capacity. it comes off to us, judge refused to dismiss a civil lawsuit from a woman accusing him of sexually assaulting her. when she was 17. buckingham palace released the following statement. with the queen's approval in agreement, the duke york's military affiliations on royal patronage is have in return to the queen, the jacob, yoko continue not to undertake any public duties under defending this case as a private citizen. ok, some question was given the go ahead on wednesday it was filed by for junior to fray. she says she was trafficked by convicted peter fall, jeffrey epstein and forced to have sex with the prince of abstinence property. or the prince has denied all of the allegations. now the 1st stuff is around 2 years

ago. back in 2019, the prince gave a lengthy interview to the b, b. c. and which he said he didn't even recall meeting his accuser. however, about he did suddenly step down from all public duties. but till now though, he had still been linked to 8 british regiments, including holding a military rank of the iconic granite, the gods. earlier british army veterans wrote a letter to the queen asking how to strip andrew of all of his ranks and titles with the military and former home office minister norman baker believes the queen has made the right move. i think we're going to have a summer or a year of embarrassing revelations that under require to provide evidence to the american coach to distance between him and themselves as possible. so that's that of course required. right. to say the legally people are jo proven guilty in this country. i didn't even america. and therefore, you could argue that could happen until the cold case is of

course you also, if you're a veteran, submit myself to get him proper, really and gently distasteful to carry on with that, he started what you need on the remote and they are within to get to the queen and was not as though he's been fighting or anything like that. in britain, he simply having what was given to him by the quitting taken away. the bulk of russian peacekeepers in kazakhstan has now left the country. that's after that brief mission that was declared complete. let me put in saying was time they came home? for me it's a shed, or it is obvious that people who've been protesting for a gas price reduction. and those who've been fighting with the armed forces for several days with weapons in their hand, surrounding them in places of deployment, completely different people.
