melting at an alarming rate to learn more, we came here to mount elbows to speak to victor. couple things. he has a gracie ella, who is devoted his entire life to the top. it is a fascinating at times dangerous and very important job. with our headline story this, our germany vice chancellor accuses loving more put not calling the energy prices ranging in europe. but critics play in berlins only got a self to blame. i think your indian government minister accuses us form a giant fighter of having attempted to bully new delhi into providing legal protection for any side effects of its over vaccine, also with russian again along the river. here areas, drones become

a major component of the fighting for donna. we take you to the front line is where our correspondent details up close the effects all with robbie are counting the program from this hour. welcome to moscow. on the weekend global news joined up here on germany's vice chancellor has taken a flood of mir directly accusing the russian president of being responsible for the energy crisis in europe. half of the gas supply to germany stopped because putin has cut it off. now the supply has been stopped completely and it will not come back to us. with the help of these 3 power stations, we will get back at least a quarter of what we have lost. so the vice chancellor is putting the finger of blame for germany's energy crisis in one direction only. that's why, well,

it kinda seems like germany is vice chancellor seems to be not entirely in touch with reality. sure berlin is going to have to burn more coal now to heat german homes. but it's the west that shot itself in the foot here. i mean, russia has time and time again reiterated that it is committed to fulfilling its contractual obligations when it comes to energy supplies. and it's done just that through the turk stream pipeline, and even through ukraine, although at a lower rate than took place last year, because kia back in may started closing down pipelines that were shipping russian gas for the european union. then there's poland, that placed sanctions on gas problem and then refused to pay for russian gas in rubles, despite the fact that european union sanctioned, made it impossible to do otherwise. and at the end of the last year, they even seized and stole gas problems. assets still on polish territory, and it could be argued as well that russia is just being made a convenient scapegoat here. because for years we heard this endless campaigning

about green energy, even though critic said, we don't have that in place. we're going to need gas, coal, oil. you also had western governments shutting down industries because of covert. and now we're seeing the side effects. but yet this is the problem, rushes, the problem, the noise stream pipeline sabotaged in september last year. how did effect as well, that gas supply in germany, a big issue? well, after the series of explosions across these north stream pipelines, the swedish investigation confirms that this was an act of sabotaged by a state actor actually. and interestingly enough data from was not even allowed to participate in this invest ation. this is something that understandably made. moscow thinks that the west perhaps had something to hide. and it really makes you wonder, out of all of the global powers who would be most interested in destroying these pipelines and covering up an act of sabotage like that. my sister in law who is interested in ukraine, receiving money, crank,

it's money from bus to the gas transit mission. it's us. we'll pay them again yesterday. and despite the fact that they cost aggressors, they pick our money. just like that was the money doesn't smell. who is interested in the russian gas supply to europe, and this is going only through ukraine, isn't it? it's the one who blew up the nord stream pipeline mobility with another aspect to all this european countries are turning to liquefied natural gas supplies, particularly from the u. s, as an alternative to russian gas, despite much higher prices. take us through that. while, like you said, the european union's been investing billions of euro's into infrastructure in the hopes that liquefied natural gas can solve the european union's energy needs. and that's not only costing the european taxpayer a lot of money right now, because at the end of the day, this l. n g is going to make the import of any sort of of energy a lot more expensive. and a much of this price like is actually going to go straight into the pockets of american energy corporation. something that the white house was talking about,

trying to accomplish, even before rushes, military operation began. first of all, we heard looking at opportunities to make up for lost cash l n g from russia were on their way of turn the house. see what we can do to do that? do dealing with our friends around the world as well. we think we could make up a significant portion of it. oh, there would be laws if, if washington and brussels think that inflation and high energy prices aren't making ordinary people's lives difficult enough. so understandably, europeans have taken to the streets to protest these western anti russian policies . ah,

now doesn't look like the western authorities are going to be changing course any time soon. but what's equally, as unfortunate as all of this finger pointing at russia for energy problems that the west clearly created for itself. on staying with this story, german attorney on america, his professor of law at the university of south africa, dr. under thomas house and believes it's europe's crusade against russian energy, which has led to the surgeon prices. it is quite obvious that russia never stopped to supply any guess. it is in germany and european union in there have been something that cause a one could even say, again, as pressure who, who publicly every day put in muscle puts in, must be removed and no more gas from russia. and the german public was pretty bad

for an increase in gas prices were the reasoning that out of sort of that for the ukraine. germany would not buy one gigawatt hour of rush. guess. now the germany economy depends. its energy economy depends $0.55 on natural gas and 45 percent on natural gas from russia to replace the very short notice started importing natural gas liquified form. and then g, the price of gas in germany is not fixed for higher, the price for electricity has increased tenfold. the russian ministry of defense has reported of its troops sub taken control over another settlement in don bass. official state that direction in the year solider, and that the net republic has been secured by russian forces. that sounds the m. o . d. out of that ukrainian forces in the area had suffered approximately 50

casualties in recent fighting with russian troops destroying 2 armored combat vehicles. as well as other pieces of artillery hardware. but real drones have become a major component in the conflict. they're used for conducting reconnaissance operations as well as destroying and then the positions are senior correspondent, iraq gas. the saw their effects from the front lines. these close to the front lines. roads are a mortal hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover. even that scant. ah. some of the less the closest they are is 700 meters away at 3 o'clock. they're in a total of 3 directions. also a 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock and our boys are there to their rotating today and are doing well in this area, was recently seized from ukrainian forces. they know every path,

every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions must be extra careful. drones guide them along. ah, we're scouting ahead to make sure that the way is clear and then our boys will get there safely. these soldiers are all volunteers of the act, my battalions answering to the church and president rams, and could thereof, to ensure everything went smoothly. a flaw, support team, armed with an automatic grenade launcher, was ordered to dissuade the enemy from trying anything. some of the most intense fighting he's underway, ukrainian units are desperate to reverse russian gains along the river. here through the

rotation was a success. but as the drone flew back, it noticed something unusual. fresh fortifications and enemy troops concealed under the tree cover or espana discovered enemy positions at a distance of 450 to 750 doors away from us. their group targets enema fortifications, armor and vehicles. but within minutes coordinates were reported to h q and orders went out to nearby artillery m a. m. i l blue bay. the mission had changed. they were now to keep it a distance and correct artillery. 5 with corrections were relayed the next barrage struck home.

hold on one of my little, i'll fight this is biker, right on the target and repeat. this is modern warfare. this is the dominant form of combat across the front lines, artillery and drones, in a seamless lisa link on the front lines. soldiers have learned to fear drones. they always watch and listen for the characteristic, but that heralds a barrage of iron, fire, and shrapnel my o at gasdio, haughty from la, god's can nother story we want to bring you today. india's tech minister has accused us form a giant pfizer of pressuring the country's government to give it legal protection. in the case of side effects emerging from its coven faxing, the allegation sparked a strong reputed by an indian parliament member who himself was accused of supporting western jobs over the mystically purchased once. just to

remind all indians that pfizer tried to bullet the government of india into accepting conditions of indemnity. and jerome ramesh kept pushing the case of foreign vaccines during covered. this is total book. mister minister. let not your ambition to climb the greasy pole. make you more of a liar than you are in 2021. pfizer was among the 1st vaccine producers to apply for emergency use authorization in india, but it withdrew the application after the countries pharmaceutical watchdog requested a clinical study to confirm the safety of the shot. later in the year in the confirmed it wouldn't by 5 years job with report stating the company's demand for legal protection was the primary reason why the world economic forum in dof us this week, pfizer is ceo, brushed off some questions about the vaccine safety and efficacy you said it was 100 percent effective, then 90 percent,

that 80 percent and 70 percent. but we now know that the vaccines do not transfer. so transmission. why did you keep that secret? kevin, i said i won't have a nice day until i know the answer. why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission this morning to be called regarding the now regarding the, the system that i did not review. and also, like i said, it was one of the 1st back was for emergency. but they're all decent and we have no look back to be like no and most of the vaccine and be right back to be given a $2200000000.00 back. even if you didn't get

a lot. so you need more into indigenous staying with a covert controversies, recent studies by european n g o is have claim that you've seen deals including a game with pfizer. prioritize financial interest over public health concerns are to come to meet our rachel marsh and she's been delving deeper into about jerry cove. it the european union rolled out a block y q r code system has proven vaccination for travel leisure. and in some cases, a condition of employment, even as reports started racing doubts about how reliable the shot actually was when it came to stopping infection transmission and even death. it's like there was this interest in brussels to move fast and getting shots into arms as quickly as possible and getting this digital identity system linked to the job status into place as an incentive for people to take the shots. now for months,

skeptical members of the european parliament have been demanding to know what kind of deal the blocks leadership actually signed with the manufacturers of these injections. we're talking here about 11 contracts, 4600000000 vaccines and 71000000000 euros of public money transferred to big pharma. and so far, neither the citizens who paid for all of this nor their elected representatives have been able to get full transparency on any of those deals. here's what new research just published by french and g o global health advocates and by the u. k based health, non profit stop aids, has to say about it. the you signed agreements cloaked in secret and resisted efforts to disclose any information. protecting commercial interest, we argue, came at the expense of transparency around pricing, delivery schedules, those transfer requirements, and intellectual property commitments that could have helped increase global access

to vaccines. secrecy, in short, hurt public health with an unaccountable driver. the public have been taken for a ride. the reports also draw attention to the lack of interest on the part of certain big pharmacy. yo's, when it comes to accountability towards their customers there and clients who received an ultimately paid for the jobs being average european citizens to make matters worse. fight as ceo, albert buller has twice refused to appear in front of her pin parliaments cove committee to answer questions about how the contract negotiations were carried out . an old decision for a company who claims to be very transparent. it turns out the pfizer, c. e o borla is also the same one who was exchanging private text messages with european commission present. ursula vander line the month before the pfizer contract was negotiated. now, how do we know that? because vander lined, said so herself in april of 2021. and those texts have magically vanished,

and vander, line doesn't really seem to be too interested in making an effort to recover them forensically. so earlier this month, european parliamentarians on the blocks coven 19 committee, expressed their interest in having fonder line answer to their committee on these contract negotiations by peering in person. but of course, she can just decline just like worley dead, which has now led the committee to request that berlin access privileges to the european parliament. he revolts and access to you. politicians for corporations and their lobbyists is pretty much priceless. between january 20, 20, and september 2022 senior european commission officials and pharmaceutical lobbyists. how close to 100 meetings, with 30000000 euro spent on you lobbying in a single year. that's according to the ngo's reports which also touch on the lips service that the e you paid to global unity against it. while at the same time gate,

keeping it cove, it technologies and practicing as sort of medical apartheid by keeping the jobs out of the hands of countries that perhaps weren't in a very good position to pay big pharma as much as what europe was a bathroom lobbying and shady deals have made their way into the spotlight in the ear recently with the arrest of officials and personnel, accused of corruption over linked to lucrative could tarry and marie in lobbying efforts. and now with this report suggesting that's just the tip of the iceberg. if the e u is serious, about transparency and lisa, serious as wagner line, says she is in the wake of had target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy e o bodies. instead of hiding from the people she's actually meant to serve. now in an attempt to po box,

the curtain on the way twitter allied debate on the platform over the last number of years. the social media giants, new owner, ellen, moscow's been recent crunches of old, internal documents known as the twitter funds. one of the journalists behind the investigation must tie, be, has been discussing the scale of washington's involvement in the platform on the whistleblower show. here an rti, you can watch the full episode later. this are one of the reasons that the hunter biden's story was picked as the 1st thing that we looked at is because i had a suspicion that we, if such a thing existed, we might see it there. and as a result, you know, the, that search turned out to be flawed. it was bedded as, as we learned later by a former f b. i general counsel. we ended up finding some things that give indications of government interference. and that in that particular episode. but we found much more broad evidence in other areas. the f. b,

i reported several accounts to twitters trust and safety team for allegedly spreading election. this information was this relationship proper and appropriate was thousands and thousands of requests. and that came every day and it didn't just come from the f. b, i came from every one of the government, twitter for a while, was trying to say no to the state department. the state department was selling them lists of accounts that they wanted flag, does chinese or russian or any information. there is a moment where an employee at twitter says yes, their conclusions are of the sort that i would normally say, let's just wait and wait for more evidence, but our window and that is closing. and our government partners are becoming more aggressive now. the executive who said that happens to have a background. 2 ah. 2 2 2

modern barbarism, that's how a turkey has slammed a protest by a controversial swedish danish political figure who burned the koran in the name of democratic values, rasmus pollute and set fire, to as long as holy book in front of the church. embassy in stucco. with the permission of the swedish or 30 during a creek, he also from the turkeys presidents and islamist peter lu, done is known for organizing similar stuff in the past and was convicted of racism in denmark after posting an anti islam video on social media last year his announcement he was to embark on koran. barney tours during the muslim holy month of ramadan cars, public outrage spark lies in sweden, turkeys among those who have condemned the swedish authorities for allowing the latest protesting it encourages hate crime. and cro also counselled a plan visit of sweden's defense minister over the issue which was aimed at

resolving turkey's concerns about stock homes bid to join nato. a big issue of late and according to t r t world entered large usa for the events could weigh heavy on sweden a session. i think it was trying to send a message that we are not ready to become a member of nato, and that's the way i start receiving it. because now me accession bid, and a potential ratification through turkish parliament, a very positive issue that it probably can be considered dead on arrival. now probably for the rest of the year. i don't think this conversation don't get opened up any time. the images are now very busy that created a lot of outreach and you get like a lot of outreach inside the muslim world. it probably you alienated many of the needle members who are advocating on trying to create some dialogue with to get to try to get,

to get the ratified we need of it. so the other day back home is now its own worst enemy, and it's probably shot a silver bullet in its own. but ok to the middle east where thousands of people have gathered. intel, a v to protest against the newly formed is really government headed by been human. net and yahoo things are live pictures right now. happening in tell us be demonstrators are demanding an immediate reversal of new judicial reforms. limiting the supreme court rulings on government decision, parliament 3 laws, frequent protests helping held over the past number of weeks since the reforms were announced. by the way, as expected, run a $100000.00 people would turn out in tel aviv to protest as well. significant numbers in other areas of the nation, jerusalem haifa shape. i said the president's residents injures them by the way.

they're around a 1000 police officers to where to take to the streets, to keep an eye on at the moment of the merge the new government. by the way, it's been branded the most hard line in the country's history. aside from judicial changes, one of the 1st proposals of the new authorities was really supplement expansion on palestinian territory. okay, we'll keep close eye and development in israel and get back to it. if anything emerges from the her team, the berlin standing up to international pressure on the sending it's coveted leopard to takes to ukraine. it's despite a visit to the country on friday of the us defense secretary, who is pushing berlin to give care of the heavy machinery that says washington itself is not sending any of its tanks. a french politician is warned, of the dangers of such an escalation. under pressure from american hawks, e. u. countries are going into total delirium over the delivery of increasingly

heavy weapons. tis lensky macro mave, and donate la clerk tanks. american hawks won a world war in europe. we're seeing different european countries, hungary, croatia, close to them, serbia, they're all saying what was going on. why are the west or western european countries, the nato countries sending these weapons, it's not working. and now it got people like under it was there. here's the chairperson of the german armed forces association, which is telling the german government to stop sending weapons because it's depleting its own stocks. and we know this throughout nato. nato countries are deeply in their own stocks for i would say a policy which is which is not working in different countries. the small countries, i would say courageous countries like hungary in croatia or voicing their concern and saying, why are we doing this? what is, what is the use of this? this is pro, tracking the war, and it's driving us further into it which can at the end be extremely dangerous for us, which is interesting. the sink is the smaller countries. a saying that they don't

believe in the war mongering rhetoric coming out from that, the nato countries and within the you will the european union's not just quarreling with the u. s. but amongst itself soon, croatia is president out some choice words for the e. u foreign policy chief use a barrell like using the block leadership of having a condescending attitude towards member state burrell st. theresa memo last month filled with lies in which he treats us as if we were retarded. excuse my language as if we had special needs at some point enough is enough. this kind of treatment is deeply irritating. today they do this to hungary, tomorrow it will be some other bigger country. they want to bring into line. they did it to poland until recently to poland. now gets a past due to the situation in ukraine, but their turn will come again tomorrow. if the e u wants to progress it has to accept this diversity. the commission leader made

those comments during a press conference in budapest with his hungary and counterpart. both those countries remain opposed to the anti russia, the sanctions, which they say only hurts europe. the creation president also accused the use leadership of feeling to acknowledge the individuality of each of its members states. we raised earlier the issue with the head of the euro continent, news and analysis site pure a manual to the comments of her christian. the president reflects the huge struggle of power between a member states, nations and or european bureaucracy. european union bureaucracy would like to or use each crises in europe, internal and external, to add more power and or to were impose its own views on the european project. and some member states are resisting,

especially you're now hungary, for example, which is refusing over your interpretation of a rule of law of european union or and or, or so it's approach on ukraine and no croix shaw is siding more with the hungary, these 2 countries corporation hungary think or european union should better of the boat. are you? europe as a cv does ish and, and not as an appendix of nate to on washington. jupiter got objectives. not while publicly playing, dine, the idea that bulgaria would provide any military assistance to ukraine. sophia's actual deeds may well have exceeded key as big as the expectations with its supplies of arms and fuel to ukrainian forces. that's what snob been brought to light by former bulgarian government officials. we estimate that about

a 3rd of the ammunition needed by the ukrainian army in the early phase of the war, came from bulgaria. our private military industry was producing at full speed. bulgaria became one of the largest exporters of diesel to ukraine, and at times come at 40 percent of ukraine's nights. trucks and tankers regularly went to ukraine by romania. and in some cases, the fuel was also loaded on to freight trains. in an interview with the felt media outlet, the politicians said while in power, they avoided direct transactions between the 2 governments and use intermediaries to supply weapons to ukraine. according to the report, sophia sent here diesel fuel processed from russia supplied crude oil. the country's former prime minister said the initiatives were kept secrets amidst stark opposition from the ruling coalition on the citizen with talking of which poll suggest some 70 per cent all bulgarians. they are concert at being drawn into the

conflict. just a reminder back into the coalition. government collapsed after losing a vote of confidence there at we spoke to turman of the bulgarian national peace council, another party in the nation, not coast the fun of. he believes that political crisis was caused by a failure to listen to what the public are saying. the problem is should with this houston. so go palmetto to democracy in bulgaria is very far from what is bullshit to say people democracy in bo get in. but a med, you know, it was created to show gold grow. you know, a bloody girl made door unity among her mom. the biggest spot dish in bulgarian puddle. a man better. now stop me to, to she this a boat here who drum? good you? yes. the strike between that vision, the problem the mobile get is ah, so 40 goes off be.
