allies pure as well as all our partners. and we know that russia is a great power and frushell wants to can help us in this area. electricity is restored in russia's belgrade region after ukrainian shutting left. almost half the city without power and at least one civilian wounded. and twitter file number 7 drops, showing no trace of russian meddling and the hunter by laptop saga, but plenty of meddling from the f. b. i a news from moscow. this is our t international from all of us here at the headquarters and the russian capital of berry one welcome to you. now, an italian court has agreed to hand over to belgian authorities. a woman suspected of involvement in a cathartic graft scandal that has rocked the european parliament. this comes as new revelations from brussels court. point to morocco is

a key player in the original corruption investigation. let's learn more. processing live now to watch a contributor, rachel moss and well, they just keep on coming these revelations. rachel, what, what can you tell us about is ongoing scandal now. right, so there's this european union corruption scandal that led the belgian authorities turning the european parliament into basically a crime scene. seizing data before it could potentially be destroyed and hauling suitcases full of cash out of hotel rooms and apartments associated with you. personnel allegedly including a parliamentary and vice president all because queen ursula hasn't specifically told parliamentarians how to avoid doing shady things. but she does say that those ethics roles are coming. that's good news. i guess at 1st the scandal was all about allegations of improper lobbying relationships. with cutter, but now morocco has been caught up in it as well. former italian,

your deputy pier antonio pens. aries, wife, maria dolores, telephony and her adult daughter. sylvia. henry, who have been held under house arrest in italy, are now being transferred to belgium in the wake of an italian court ruling on monday. they're both suspected of involvement with what belgian prosecutors call and a legit quote. participation in criminal organization, money laundering, and corruption. now the arrest order for these 2 family members of yet another euro deputy, a former member this time recall that current. well recent former you vice president, eva kaya lee was arrested, charged and stripped of her titles last week. this refers to suspicions of payments to pan vary from caught her and morocco, and it's been a unopened secret for a very long time among brussels insiders that morocco has really lobbied hard in europe and in the west, more generally in support of its occupation of western sahara morocco has been fighting for decades against the spain and us back to pull assario,

france fight for territorial independence in the western sahara backed by moroccan neighbor algeria. so it's not surprising that western sahara has now entered the chat with its national commission for human rights, lambasting the quote, shameful involvement of members of the european parliament in the bribery. scowl though, who were quote, defending morocco's thesis con, spray to international legitimacy related to the de colonization of western sahara . keep in mind that western sahara is pretty much considered to be the last african colony with colonial dispute. so the soap opera continues with even more characters being added to the cast of his will. fiasco really, who knows how many more there are yet to come, how much improper lobbying was involved at the you. but all i can say is, well, with this kind of a story underway, who needs netflix right?

on to contributor rachel moss and thank you ah, a huge explosion at a gas pipeline in central. russia has left 3 people dead and others injured. the pipeline connect siberia with central and western europe. that's countries such as slovakia, hungary, on romania, but it all comes through ukrainian territory. the incident promote gas market price fluctuation, which later stabilized as the fuel was switched to another line. russia's gas promise promise to investigate the incident which took place while maintenance work was being carried out. not all of this comes off the european union on monday, adopted the highest level. it'll pay a gas at a $180.00 europa megawatt for our to give you a sense of that number gas prices briefly reached $340.00 euros in august. but since deflated the move was decided despite opposition from several inferential states within the block, including hungary and the netherlands. well, meanwhile,

the number of companies in poland and germany have apply to secure deliveries of russian oil. busy over the next year, that is despite the western price caps on sanctions that are targeting the russian energy sector at the head of our oil pipeline company. trans nifty believes businesses in europe are increasingly starting to look out for themselves. a good deal of political him if boys come up with the politicians from poland or one thing, but they're also the rational representatives of business and authorities who understand very well the consequences of this absolutely absurd rhetoric on their economy. although they announced that from the 1st of january, they would not be taking oil from russia. we've recently received applications from polish consumers for 3000000 tons of oil for next year, and 360000 tons for december alone. and germany has already applied for deliveries in the 1st quarter. the application comes as you set the price cap of $60.00 per

barrel of russian crude. or the limit applied earlier this month is set to be aimed at the private moscow of funding to conduct this military operation in ukraine. however, the cap also sees existing sanctions relaxed, allowing european countries to buy russian oil outbid at the cap price. now the most vocal proponent of the plan, poland at earlier, sorta higher price ceiling that what was eventually agreed upon. most of those but use both dorky. we cannot go back to this to pity to this bad in criminal policy, which turned countries dependent on russia in offered food. and petro dollars was euros in dollars or so that put in, in russia could build a war arsenal and could attack its neighbors. today we are presenting the most radical plan in europe to move away from russian hydrocarbons away from russian oil rushing gas from rushing coals. this most radical plan is needed him ugly. so good to have your company for this program. china's corona virus total is of

concern to everyone globally, due to its effect on financial stability, according to the us, the state department, which also expressed hope that beijing gets its cov, it numbers under control. the whole of the virus is of concern to given the size of china's gdp given the size of china's economy. it's not only good for china to be in a stronger position visa because it, but it's good for the rest of the worlds as well. we, the united states continues to be a leading force for countries around the world and the provision of vaccines and helping countries overcome the phase of the virus. we certainly hope that will be the case before long in the early as well. and straight to new york for details on this areas that our teens are. caleb often could just you, caleb. so just give me a sec. what is going on here? i mean,

it only seems like yesterday the us what was criticizing beijing for not allowing freedom of movement. now washington is saying beijing has to do more to control the cove it among its population. can you clear that up for us? perhaps kaden. surely you just heard ned price the spokesperson for the us state department, and he was criticizing shina and talking about how at this point they shining in their numbers in order. because the impact that co good rising in china could have on the global economy and people are noting the irony of what's been said as his boss, the head of the us state department, the secretary of state anthony blank and was just recently calling for 0 coded policies in china to be listed and calling for the release of protesters. let's review what's been said by us officials. china has to figure out

a way forward on dealing with what's covered away for that answers the the health needs but also ashes the needs of people. i think we're seeing the chinese people speak up for more freedom against the co locked down policies. i support that the lockdown is not a policy that, that we're going to support here. so when china had stringent anti coven policies that was declared to be repression. we have the u. s. government speaking out, a guest is describing china as the repair. and now that those restrictions have been lifted and co good cases in china are rising, we have china once again being down. now the claims and the condemnations of china from us officials are laced in hypocrisy. one will know that the united states leads the world in terms of coven related deaths. whereas china, despite having the world largest population, is 98 in the world in terms of cobra, death. so nowhere near the united states,

in the number of koby related gas. so it's quite, quite hypocritical for us officials to be criticized in china for coven related gas and talking about it. but this all fits a pattern with how the united states covers china, no matter what china does. china is condemned when coded 0 coded policies were put in the fact they were described as brutally authoritarian. and then when those coded policies were lifted, we heard that this was a sign that president, she's in pain was week guy. and that this was a sign and he was giving in and didn't have authority and power that no matter what the us media and the us politicians look for any excuse to condemn china and can damage policies and portrayed in a negative light. and this latest statement, this latest flip the script, if you want to call it, that is just a really blatant example of how hypocritical and nonsensical us narratives are the usa does not like a particular government, no matter what they do. they find a way to spin it in a negative way. all right,

off the kill him off and live in new york. thank you. the 6 civilians, and at least to book an op, a soldiers have died and separate a tax and but kina faso. now since 2015, the country has suffered from scores of jihad as the times that have killed thousands and basically force 2000000 people out of their home by the repeated a time. so then by groups linked to the islamic state and al qaeda, who showed increased activity in recent months. and according to the countries army, $39.00 terrorists were killed and until the hardest operation is conducted since the thought of december. well, my colleagues spoke with bertina, fossils into room prime minister, who said the security continues to be one of the top priorities of the country along with the issue of seeking new allies. what are your priorities now? is it perhaps in the secure to sector? we saw to yes, definitely. currently security is a priority and burkina faso and we talks about it. but in addition to the security sphere,

we discussed other areas as well because the problem of security is complex with many parts. we hope that starting from now we will begin to resolve it apart from that, it's necessary that our relations develop because we are all interested in winning . as close you do think russia could become an ally for booking up a song in the fight against your head is we for goodness with us and we would like it. we would like russia to become our ally here, as well as all our partners. and we know that russia is a great power and a fresh wants to can help us in this area. france has condemned rwanda for backing m. 23 insurgents who are fighting democratic republic of congo forces in the countries east. paris is called for a regional piece process to be established by those neighboring countries. france condenser, on to support for the m $23.00 group and calls for the luanda end. they will be processes to be fully implemented. we're speaking about earlier in the program with our africa correspondent, catabolic tattler who was telling us about the relations between france and re wanda. and that while the french role in that region,

history fraud of andrew and i have had to test the diplomatic relations. and they've only started going about 5 years ago as they started opening lines of communication. but this was the 1st time since then, that front has openly choose the government, the rule of supporting the m. 23 rebels. but paul is used to having such accusations leveled at his government and this was his response. the problem was not created by rhonda and it is not drawn this problem. it is congress problem. i cannot be responsible for congress or rondon descent in congress who are being denied the right to citizens. one that has always had a problem with the role that it says front flayed during the genocide in 1994. in rwanda, then they have made,

they have opened the cases against people that they deem to be responsible. and we're talking and condemning priests were talking see me ranking military officials of the hutus who committed these crimes on the, to the minority in rwanda. now, despite these cases being opened as far back as $995.00 from to dig a later, we still have to have a trial in france or an extra edition of these would be choose persons to stand trial in rwanda. now i expect that relations will not be getting any better following this particular open accusation of the why didn't government supporting these rebels? i listen, i move back to the democratic republic of congo, where am 23. insurgents are wreaking havoc. the latest attack, they cut off a major supply route to the dfcs eastern city of goma, a. bring you the danger of a looming hunger crisis to the forefront for residents that are situated near their london border. gomez,

a major regional economic hub. it's actually been the focus of the conflict between the b r c's forces and the militia group, which certainly have intensified in recent months. and 20 three's latest bonds has cut off the national road to highway that leads to goma from the north and is actually a key link for prod, use incoming from the northern farming region. we spoke earlier to martin you a, a senior researcher at south african based security think tank. he says the situation in the d r c is difficult and that if one does involvement in the conflict is officially proven, the entire region security is at stake. dericks are getting high on this is because of the political situation in the region we've seen recently, detention in relations between the democratic republic of congo and rwanda. this, in my view, as we know,

it actually provide opportunities for terrorist groups to take advantage. we've also seen in the past how some of the countries have actually utilized groups and territories as pawns in this kind of political tension. we don't know the fact yet in terms of these allegations against rwanda. luanda has of course, was completely denied it involvement or any support to these group vets. i think we still get to know the details and the fact around whether this is actually true, because this will be extremely damaging to the effort of the d r c. this country has seen a fair share of conflict. it has been destroyed by conflict. and therefore it's recent attempt trying to establish itself to eliminate this

factors of instability which the m. 23 has been a constant presence in the past 10 years. and now to russia's belgrade region where ukrainian artillery shell, the border area, leaving at least one person wounded. it's all confirmed by local authorities. the power outages have also been reported as a result of the onslaught. the electricity supply has now been restored. we understand shrapnel, damaged warehouses and production facilities in the industrial zone. emergency crews remain in the region and they're still working. meanwhile, ukrainian artillery has also hit a civilian hospital in dawn, yet for the 2nd time in one day, a local authority, se residential buildings and a kindergarten also came on to fire. so here's a report now from the region with all correspondent romance, concert, o ukrainian artillery struck the city of the nest shortly before midnight on monday once again,

one of the largest hospital here in dan voss had been targeted were standing right next to the building number 10 that was suffered at direct i hit by a mo, from a multiple launch a rocket system. as the result, at least one person was heavily wounded as the result of this attack a day prior to this. so 2 people had been killed as another building building number 6, and you, or surgery departments was a stronger as well. now that building behind me it houses administration as well as a day time clinic. now it shuts at 4 pm and opens at 7 o'clock in the morning. so thankfully there was no one there except for the caretaker. now, once again, it was struck by ukrainian artillery by a grabbed missile. and we actually found the shell that was used. and i spoke to a ballistics expert narrow, this is a modified, modified, solved, yet,

shell produced in slovakia. it's $122.00 millimeter a shell. and once again made in slovakia and supplied to ukraine by made. so countries and these are the kinds of shells that have been used against a civilians here in den eskoville last month or, or so, of course, many people people had been killed and many more were injured as the result of these a chaotic and indiscriminate attacks against the sensor, various calibers of weapons are being used against dividends here. and then as i grabbed myself like what i just showed you, and of course the other calibers are much higher. 15552 millimeter. and of course, they cause a lot of destruction. many of the weapons that are being used to include the cluster munitions as well with that is designed to inflict as much damage as

possible. joe calls us in the loan yesterday around a p. m. there was the 3rd shelling in a week. the hospital and administrative buildings were damaged, doctor's provided assistance. a doctor on duty managed to hide behind a safe only but the walls are almost completely damaged. about 90 percent of the windows have shattered. there's no heating, 3 artillery strikes in a small area within one weeks. time is already a pattern, shooting out a hospital as a war crime, the staff are fighting for the lives of those wounded people are being helped as much as possible. we continue to work as much as we can. yesterday there was damage to the neurosurgical building. the staff are continuing their work, no matter what. today they all came to work to help people. our duty is above all else. so would you be surprised to hear the f. b. i meddled in the hunt, abide and laptop scandal and then sought to censor it on twitter. it was,

according to the latest series of twitter revelations, we're talking about the a 7th tranche of twitter files now showing that despite hysteria of a russian meddling in the 2020 elections twitter. so little to no indication of that. we are removing 2 distinct networks of accounts. the 1st network of accounts totaling approximately 345 were largely inactive. the 2nd network of accounts total approximately 10. the accounts included in this enforcement action have little reach and low follow accounts. one, what we saw in these twitter files is basically an admission from twitter that russia's social media diabolical, social media, threat to american democracy, was very much imaginary. actually, still, that didn't stop the f b i from pressuring twitter into giving the mainstream media, whatever it possibly could to point the finger at russia, but pretty much every time it came up empty, and every time it came up empty,

twitter was forced to admit that it's saw a lot of insinuations, but not a lot of evidence. don't know what about, what about the, let's just address that of hunter biden's laptop. the whole, the whole scandal around that because the end of the day it's getting mentions now, although it was essentially swept under the carpet when it started coming out. right, right. well, i mean, this is actually a key issue in the last us presidential election, and it was also something that us intelligence officials almost immediately back then denounced as some sort of fake russian propaganda story. i mean, it was the perfect justification for the f. b, i to pressure twitter into suppressing that story and that's exactly what it did. the suggestion for mac spurs, which rings to is there was a hag that happened separately and they loaded the hacked materials from the laptop that magically appeared at the repair shop in delaware. were recommending a warning plus the amplification ban and further information. now there's even a speculation that twitter got a heads up about this story ahead of time because actually twitter was sent 10

different documents from the f b i just a day before the new york post published this story and just hours after the article went public twitter suppressed it, of course, again, we don't have any confirmation of that, but doesn't seem unreasonable. so i mean, g thing g thing is fair to say that the f b, i was putting a lot of pressure on twitter or what are your thoughts? what based on what we've seen in these twitter files, the f b, i did everything it could to get as much as possible from twitter. and there was even talk of them, potentially bringing and congress people into atlas to take a look at what that said. we've seen the sustained phone coordinated effort by the intelligence community to push us to share more information. they are probing and pushing everywhere they can, including by whispering to congressional staff at this pressure from the f. b, i seems to have been so frequent and so intense that twitter was even paid over $3000000.00 just to process the bureaus requests. a lot of a lot of these requests even were met with demands from twitters management for a warrant that they,

they must have been so it potentially in breach of people's privacy. right. so this journalist that released all this, he's already calling for an investigation, and i'm sure you know, a lot of people who are following the story would be unlikely to object to that. so could have you with us. so check out the story of former english football. a ton tv comitatus is used to live broadcast at the world cup final to voice his anger, the treatment of britain's workers. we've got a current government in our country who are demonizing, rail workers, ambulance workers, and terrifyingly nurses shouldn't happen in our country. our nurses are having to fight for an extra pound or 2 pounds. a gallery neville's frustration comes with some 10. a 1000 nose is planning to go on strike this wednesday in protest at low pay u. k. u k. providence to reach you soon. however, slam the former matches. so united and england players comments claiming football

and politics should not be made. i think when most people are tuning into watch, gary neville, they want to hear about the football and watch the football. you don't want to discuss politics. well, that's the same richie soon. ok, who has sent an openly gay sports minister? the katara is england's official representative for the world cup. this is despite strict katara laws on l. g b t q, support. the minister wore a rainbow tie and one love on bad, which had been banned by fif soap course life. now to independent journalist, a shame bose to further discuss this story, a very warm welcome to you. so thanks for coming on the program. you think it's a, apparently it's ok to mix politics and sports when it comes to, for example, criticising cutter. but if a football express is political comment about england, perhaps it's not on. yeah, of course rory, and thanks for having me. i mean, the term here is gross hypocrisy. and i think most people who saw gary levels,

comments and the u. k. would absolutely support and you've got to remember and that, you know, there's another card attitude right now in the u. k to many things. immigration, exact, for example, most of the per, unfortunate people who are trying to make their way across the english channel are in europe because of the, you know, the aftermath of british or american interventions in the middle east, et cetera. so the, the overriding sense is that it's policy and gary never had a been praising what richie. so next policies, i'm sure she's and i wouldn't have that posted as response. but what, what, what about tonight's response to it? it's, it's gary level. if you think soon i was coming over a bit strong perhaps or yeah, yeah, he actually seen quite upset about it. and i mean, you know, you got to remember that football in the u. k. you know, it's a grass roots movement. the clubs that he's very successful clubs like man united, the guy never played for they, they have their roots in the working class areas. and it's that working class

people who are now, you know, facing huge choose or food banks. you hundreds, thousands of people in the u. k. really struggling really soon. next a very privileged man. he's one of the richest men in the u. k. and so he's had a privileged background of private education. so he wouldn't be like you. and in to the anger that is, you know, bubbling under the surface in the u. k right now. and it's evident now in the strikes that are, you know, coming down the line. you pardon the point in from railway workers and from nurses imagine, you know, don't take a strike action, likely, likely, rory, and there's real anger and resentment in the u. k. right now. i mean, there are, there are some that are saying this really stinks of double standards. i mean, for example, if you didn't, the u. k. sports minister say earlier this year that, that he wants russian sports starts to give assurances. they do not support vladimir putin all the band look. i mean it's, it's all about this ala carte morality. i mean, the u. k. has a growth history to its empire of human rights abuses. you know,

tens of millions of indians did what they did in my country. and i know we still got families in the north of the country here in arlington, north, who are struggling to get justice for a members of their family who are killed, where the proxies of the british security services. so it's an ala carte attitude to morality. we see the same in the u. k, and in the u. k. when it comes to rushes operation in ukraine and you know, calls for and, you know, allegation of genocide, etc. but you know, the case free display arms to other countries, billions of dollars around for wars across the middle east. siri, afghan stanley via their own army, under investigation for executing an innocent civilians in places like afghanistan . so it's an ala carte view of morality. and i think people see right through a story ellicott view of morality. i love that i'm going to steal that from you one day. so that's really good lunch. this is just last question. before i let you go, mr. bowers, i want to talk about the gary neville himself. i mean, he did sign a deal with, with a guitar estate broadcast a to,

to comment on the world cup. and yet, he's also now being been calling out the cut out a government for alleged mistreatment of workers nominate it's great t v, isn't it? but it is it theoretically a bit hypocritical or what are your thoughts? i think so. i think david beckham also signed a deal with terry government. i mean, people knew what katara stance was on the l g b t. situation. they knew that long before, and these great debates occurred. of course, you know, so again, you know, it did the idea that this is a surprise to people who are either doing business there or who selected katara for the world cup and allows contract spend, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars to create what was essentially a fantastic world cook, if you want to talk just about football, which is still not says it was a great world cook, but also reminds me of the work up in russia where people were going to be rob done that was going to be terrorized, you know, fans, and again it was a great success. so again, it's, it's about saying, you know, if you're going to be right, be right for the moment you get up to the moment you go to bed,
