1:09 pm
device that is in question here that we used in the terrorist attack. and that was created in a garage that was rented out by them in southern moscow. now to give our viewers a bit of background, this actually really gives more credence to the original findings of the investigation. that voss was indeed following do going to around before and at the music festival that preceded her tragic death. she was killed in a car bombing over a week ago, which the fsd has since laid the blame on the ukrainian security services. after all, she was on a list of enemies of the ukrainian state that called mirror tort. it's likely for her journalistic work in ukraine, exposing neo nazis and the f. s. b has said that the assassins were after her specifically, but there has been speculation that they were after her high profile father, alexander doogan, who is an anti west author philosopher and political commentator. all the while
1:10 pm
though you ukraine has denied having anything to do with this. so we're going to have to see what other conclusions this investigation can healed in the future as well to shed light on what we don't yet know about what happened when i return. now to iraq, where protest is how to attempted to take over the republican palace in by god bless, cross live to our guest finance. alamosa lee be political analyst from baghdad. many, thanks for joining us on the program. could you just take us through what the current situation is on the grounds, all that so protest is on the streets. yes, the he was, i say yes, the processes are still on the streets and the green zone or international zone as it no, i still surrounded by security forces and large number of witnesses are still in, inside the it's lashan zones. also, number of armed militia also and 2, which are connected to the, the, the address and to the area. and the situation is moving and more being more
1:11 pm
critical than it was this afternoon. and there were news we are hearing that the oil exports will cease this evening. we are off by the main port iraq as been nose. so then there probably will be here is or salvage or c o x for the food on export to international markets, which will reduce by $3500000.00 barrel day. and which will probably have a great impact on oil markets. and one of the prices, the national environment here, and that is very critical. we are still the people are in shock of the amount of violence that's was produced by the us address or calling themselves a peaceful, but their action was not,
1:12 pm
not be as peaceful. there was one security member was murdered, and then another injured. so it's critical in baghdad. the all embassy in baghdad. good nurse these, the owners in the stance there, sorry to interrupt. i understand how to report the police in military using, taken from live bullets against the protesters. can you verify that i do? yes. yes, and i have bullets. we haven't confirmed that yet, but there are casualties. and 2, i have the originals from the demonstrators were killed. but we don't know who i'm out there were i q. so the music investigations should lead, wouldn't be better benchley on the cause of their death when they killed by the direct will. it's school where they casualty by some other form. we don't know yet what 2 people today. and then these are of course,
1:13 pm
loyal supporters. i've looked kind at al santa who and now since you were timing from politics and this is how everything kicked off, do you think he might return? will he probably he has done this many times before he he retired about 5 or 6 down or and then he came back. but the point is, is not the retirement of the fight, is that he should quote his support just to see if he's activities because they are endangering the security of the nation. we know i says is moved again in the number of provinces in your office today. ab seizing the opportunity all the i'll be in the military or v vi. chaos not taking place in baghdad and the south responding to some of their forces from samara. so there is a real president, danger that ice is me a take some holes or certain areas or may launch certain attacks on
1:14 pm
a certain targets in the region for just talk with say what obstacles could prevent the formation of a new government. now, these problem is that the constitution asked iraq say stairs, i had 2 thirds of that member of arms should be available to vote for selecting a president. then the president will authorize the largest law to form the gun. the problem is that no political party as the amount of 220 members, which is the 2 thirds of the parliament. so only a history of made with government in baghdad worth and through a coalition guns. no, only george ye can achieve 2 thirds of the of the argument. so now says risk. don't want all alicia. don't mean to say we want george he government. but they
1:15 pm
couldn't. they fail to present the 2 thirds in the holland. and the problem all started ham and the moment the none of the political parties on itself can form the 2 thirds of the parliament. so there must be a coalition government. unfortunately, the sudanese occurs who form another 3rd of the of the members of parliament. they were hesitant to me with the framework, the opposition to this address to form the new government. now with the news and environment can situation in baghdad with the escalation of violence. and there are civility of civil war, which is their very clear and present and danger. now it is possible that the political parties will reach a hasty agreement to sit in the, in, in a i, a vase, iraq had to form, ah,
1:16 pm
and outside the parliament meeting of the final amount and gather the 220 members of parliament. i he the 2 affairs and then select a. this is laney, thanks for speaking to us today side to almost a levy. political analysts. we appreciate your time. thanks. ah, now a group of canyons, hey, were forcibly evicted from their lands by british settlers during colonial role. have filed a case against the cat, the european court of human rights. they demand $200000000000.00 in compensation and an apology for the crimes they say were committed against them. lawyers for the canyons that a decision from the european court could be still months or even years away with the british government refusing to meet with the victims the colony on protect to it of tenure, more commonly known as british county, was established in 1920 and faced frequence rebellions of the indigenous population, like the mount uprising in the mid fifties when local tribes revolted against the
1:17 pm
land. theft of the colonists. that trauma had a lasting impact on canyons. you still remember the cruelties of the british settlers. google, you get them good for many years. our land has been cultivated by white people. i own nothing. i have been living a life full of challenges with my parents died suffering under the u. k. and we still remained squatters without even a portion of land where we can be buried, doing what they have used our land for many years them, our cattle and other property was destroyed as we were chased away. the young girls and women were raped on, but we are just asking for compensation to really to we as a kid sick as people have had a loss of issues and we are 100 in many partitions, but nothing has happened. we have major plans for how to rebuild our lives. if our land is returned, we should also receive compensation. and that money will be used for assisting our community as well. if we get compensation from the u. k. government, we will buy food, educate our children,
1:18 pm
and also to call to health issues because some of us are sick. many have even died . joe kemo time bo sake, one of the lawyers working on the case safe, local people were forced from the land, tortured and even killed by british settlers. this land was taken for 3 minutes. nadisa objected to torture where people are big enough and future salted houses or bonds. let's talk on his gauge. there was several incidents are great women and children, and also their families. we kind of separated each member of some family. and again, i know usually there are many people who are cued and several people also teach
1:19 pm
austria as chancellor is calling for european units, see him in an escalating energy crisis. this thing you government scrambling to fill the gas vaults ahead of winter, as they struggle with shortages and price hikes to, to the backlash of their sanctions on russia. we must finally stop the madness that is taking place in energy markets. and that can only happen through a european solution. whereas our teeth contributor rachel martha with more on the european energy crisis. the european union is made its own bed with energy sanctions, and that bed is clearly on a sinking ship. as energy prices skyrocket and supplied, dwindles, but you member states are busy playing tug of war with the bed sheets ahead of the winter cooled when they were all supposed to be sharing and playing nice. now it's scandinavian countries that are unhappy because the government of norway refuses to man that it's energy companies reduce the price of their gas so that other you,
1:20 pm
nations can get it cheap. grid operator executives in finland and denmark are accusing norway of being a selfish nationalist bed sheet hog. and you know, who wins when that happens? no, not the people of norway vladimir putin. of course, it would be the 1st country in europe to adopt such a policy on electricity. it would be a very dangerous and nationalistic step. it's very selfish behavior, if we don't work together, it will only help russia. there is a danger in any national measure in a situation like this. it's a contagious example. people might say, if norway can do it, so can we. therefore, i think it's the wrong approach. of course, norwegian officials are only doing what's in the best interests of the citizens who elected them. but being an u member state right now, mean standing shoulder to shoulder with those who made the very dumbest energy policy decisions as demanded by brussels and all to prove how much they love ukraine and how little they apparently are willing to fight for the interests of
1:21 pm
their own citizens, things aren't looking much better right now between france and its neighbors. on the surface, everything is about solidarity. french secretary of state for europe, no hauls buena says that quote, germany supplies us with electricity and we have undertaken to supply them with gas . what, maybe he can 1st point out to french citizens, exactly where this gas is in france, that the government apparently suddenly has so much of that. it can export it to germany. and then maybe she can plaintiff german citizens where it's getting this electricity that it's exporting to france. the fact that france needs to import electricity at all, given that it's supposed to be a nuclear power, is just mind blowing. but beneath this facade of unity also lurks good old franco, german economic rivalry, because germany and its southern neighbor, spain and portugal could really benefit from the construction of the miti, catalonia pipeline,
1:22 pm
that would transport algerian gas from the iberian peninsula and into central europe. we told him we heard german chancellor, olaf shows speak about the need to reinforce the iberian peninsulas energy integration into the european energy market via france. this is something the spanish government has been calling for and demanding from europe for a long time now. and believe him and we hope that soon we can turn this dream into a reality with the government of catalonia has been asking for it for months. madrid is now ready to relaunch the work that has remained in abeyance. it's up to france to do its part, but the pipeline would, after run through france, france constantly sites the environment as a reason for dragging its feet on the construction. but the reality is that the project would ultimately benefit the german economy while competing with frances ability to export its own nuclear energy to its needy neighbors. meanwhile, austria as upset was slovakia over plans for a nuclear power plant on their shared border, calling it dangerous and outdated despite the you having just given nuclear,
1:23 pm
the green label and hungry has clearly just well checked out entirely from this entire mess. after announcing new gas deals with moscow earlier this summer, budapest is now green, let the construction of a new nuclear power plant built by russia. you think the hungry was operating on a completely different planet than the rest of the e. u. and you also have to wonder how long it will take for other you member straits, to break free of the you straight jacket. rather than continue, i has provided companies with foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms and customers from abuse by foreign malign influence actors, the f b. i will continue to work closely with federal, state, local, and private sector partners to keep the public informed of potential threats. but the f b i cannot ask or direct companies to take action on information received. we have the f, b, i admitting that they flagged companies about possible disinformation in the lead
1:24 pm
up to the 2020 election. and facebook took this advice from the f b i and started calming through various story, then determining to suppress certain stories. and that, that led them to the conclusion that they were going to suppress the hunter by the laptop story. this is what mark dr. berg said on the joe rogan podcast. the distribution on facebook was decreased. basically the ranking news feed was a little bit less, so fewer people saw it than would have otherwise. so it definitely by what percentage? i don't know off the top my head, but it's, it's meaningful. now since then, we've had met the parent company of facebook, come forward and clarify that while they did not, they were not specifically told to suppress the laptop story. they were simply warned about this information. and that seems to have tempered some of the public outrage. but at this point, there are a lot of questions on people's minds. first people wonder does the f b, i have the right to go to private companies and advise them on what stories should
1:25 pm
be moved to be removed to their asking? does the f b, i statement suggest that it actually regularly does this? is this the only time they've been advising facebook and other social media companies about suppressing stories? and the 3rd question is, was this done by the f b i with partisan and intentional purposes? were they trying to help the democratic party? that's a pretty important question. people are asking the f b i metal in the elections with the of helping the democratic party. now senator ron johnson says that he is not alone in raising serious questions about this case . and this revelation, we've seen poles to show that heavy american public known the corruption, the biting trailing of hunter, bye, and joe biden will not be present for the f. b. i's palletization, there parson ship and they're suppression of the 100 by the laptop. if that is a definition of police think behavior a government agency independently decides it's going to determine the outcome of
1:26 pm
a supposedly democratic election. does that look like legitimate use of law enforcement authority to you? the government openly, coordinating with free speech? suppose it platforms like facebook and like twitter or an aquash particular stories on behalf of one political party. you have f, b i, agents using their position to collude and conspire to change the outcome of an election. now the poll numbers seem to indicate that this had a big impact on the election. one poll shows that 80 percent of americans believe the trump would have been reelected if there had actually been notable coverage of the 100 biden laptop stories. it also doesn't help that we now have f, b, i whistle blowers who are coming forward and saying that they were told that, you know, and members of the us senate were basically told not to dig in to the 100 by the laptop story. that's pretty big information when you look at the details with the whistle, blowers, et cetera, it starting to look like what summer calling election interference. these new
1:27 pm
allegations proved even more evidence of f b i corruption. after the f b, i obtained the hunter bite and laptop these whistleblowers stated that the local f b i leadership told employees, you will not look at that hunter bite and laptop and that the f b i is not going to change the outcome of the election again, the f b, i cannot be trusted with the handling of hunter biden's laptop. now members of the u. s. senate at this point are saying that they would like the opportunity to grill the api i about what actually happened in a congressional hearing. and facebook is now back tracking up from what was originally said. so at this point, people looking on the questions are getting bigger, but it appears that all is not fair and love and politics the indian repeat up soon all time low against the u. s. dollar prompting india central bank to step in and sell part of its dollar reserves and a bit to boost to the national currency. the indian currency reached a historical, lo, earlier a chest over 80 rupees to the dollar. analysts say the drop is linked to the u. s.
1:28 pm
federal reserve maintaining high interest rates longer than expected. the federal chair insists the machine is unnecessary to tackle rising inflation in the us. but the move has already resulted in, i think, global currencies failing and value. when new delhi based economists that cash came on tindles, ethel india is facing a severe economic challenge which is already resulted in outflow of capital from the country. what happened is u. s. d heard what the high inflation, the inflation did or 9 point one percent. so what they did was they kept on increasing industrious, and we expect them to increase that in the us just so that also now there was not a blog capitain invested in india. so what happened was, one day in greece, i said it was natural, walk up, fly back to us. so group live x is what it means is that all of that,
1:29 pm
what does that mean? that means simply that auto people become weaker, they will become dollar will be what us plus now go up is higher because of the current situation in the way. so i think as well as us concern the industrial they keep on getting that had some flight up there going all over india back to us because it's cheaper and leave us a message in the bonds they are getting these entered on they may decide to visit us though and going to decide doing that should be us. thanks to keep his company in our hands national. we're back in 30 minutes with more. ah mustang before the warrior margarita on moya was a call when you buy them on live days. yeah. and i don't, yeah. so,
1:30 pm
but there isn't any was on the horse they don't get on. mm mm. me play as electron on my mission. the list i'm wondering is do it, but i'm about to lose a my dear system. that's really capital e, a natural national says, unless you've machina my will come and get a slight bit of air e by the shoulder. if so, john wooten is on the show. i get it. i.
