if we're not, you have to think that by force a body so that you got it all the dimensions. and i'm only happy one big for case of a germany. he's vice chancellor accuses lot of you're not causing the energy crisis raging in europe, but critics playing for a lanes only got itself simply. a senior indian government minister accuses us for my giant pfizer of having attempted to build a new delhi and providing legal protection from any side effects of its coven vaccine. also ahead on the program with russian game along the river aerial drone speed count by

major component of the fighting for don't pass. we take you to the front where a corresponding details are close to the effects of weaponized with life for most of it is our team. my name's you know neil on 30 minutes of news and views start on germany. he's vice chancellor has taken aim for latimer 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. the help of these 3 power stations we will get back at least a quarter of what we have lost. well, it kinda seems like germany's 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 back in may, started closing down pipelines that were shipping russian gas to 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 sanctions 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 that effect as well? the 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 gas problem was not even allowed to participate in this investigation. this is something that understandably made moscow thinks that the west perhaps had something to hide. and it really, to wander 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 who is interested in ukraine receiving money. you crank its money from us for the gas trends. it, it's us who pays them a video. and despite the fact that they call us aggressors,

they take our money. just like that was money doesn't smell. who is interested in the russian gas supply to europe going only through ukraine? it's the one who blew up the nord stream pipeline. with another aspect to all this european countries are turning to liquefied natural gas blinds, 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 hike 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're looking at opportunities to make up for lost cash l n g, from russia. we're on their way of turn, how 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, that would be lost if it's, 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,

no 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. german attorney and a meritus 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 search in prices today. it is quite obvious that russia never stop to supply any guess. it is, it is a germany and european union in their vindictiveness, cynthia cruz, 81 could even say, against russia who, who publicly, every day said, who did muscle, who can, must be removed and no more guess from russia and the general public was prepared for an increase and guess i says with the reasoning the auto solidarity for ukraine, germany would not buy one gigawatt hour or flushing. guess the more all the german

economy depends. it's energy economy depends $55.00 central natural gas, and 45 percent on natural gas from russia to replace this very short notice. this started watching natural gas in a liquified form l n g. the price of gas and germany is not $6.00 fold higher. and the price for electricity is increased tenfold. the russian defense ministry things its troops have taken control over another settlement in don bass. they say theory of to virginia near solar door has been secured in the done yet st . republic, the m o t. all so claim ukrainian forces had suffered a run 50 casualties in recent fighting in the area with 2 armored combat vehicles among the hardware destroyed. unmanned aerial drones have become a major component in the conflict they're used for conducting reconnaissance

operations, as well as of course, destroying enemy positions. our senior correspondent, rat garcia, has been witnessing their effects these close to the front lines. roads are immortal. hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover even that scott, ah, some of the less the closest they are is 700 meters away. at 3 o'clock. they were in a total of 3 directions. also at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock. our boys are there to their rotating today and they're doing well in this area. was recently seized from ukrainian forces. they know every part, every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions must be extra careful. drones guide them along

with that were scouting ahead to make sure that the way is clear and then our boys will get there safely. these soldiers, we start out with holland tiers of the act, my battalion answering to the church and president rams. and could they were up to ensure everything went smoothly. a floor 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 the rotation was the 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 meters away from us. or group targets and emma fortifications, armor and vehicles within minutes coordinates were reported to h q and orders went out to nearby artillery. yeah, with dale blue bay. the mission had changed. they were now to keep it a distance. and correct artillery fire with corrections were laid. the next barrage struck whom i'm on. my legal i get this is biker right on the target that repeat this is modern warfare. these is the dominant form of combat across the frontline,

artillery and drones. in the seamless lethally 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 yahoo! d, a r t, from regards to south asia, india tech minister. i was accused pfizer of pressuring the country's government to give the u. s. former giant legal protection. in the case of side effects emerging from its cobit vaccine. the allegation sparked a strong, reputable by an indian parliament member who himself was accused of supporting western jobs over domestically purchased once. just to remind all indians that pfizer tried to bully the government of india into accepting conditions of indemnity. and jerome ramesh kept pushing the case of foreign

vaccines during cupboard. 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, india confirmed it wouldn't by 5 years job with report stating the company's demands for legal protection was the primary reason why the world economic forum and dub off this week, pfizer is seo, brushed off some questions about the vaccine safety and effectiveness. you said it was 100 percent effective, then 90 percent that 80 percent then 70 percent. but we now know that the vaccines do not trans. so transmission. why did you keep that secret? kevin, i, 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 know regarding the feel for the ice that not reviews are committed to the and the like i said, it was one of the 1st was what i must see you, but later developed we have the look back in the book right now and most of the backseat. and we are right back to be able to point 2000000000 both of us back even as of now. so you are more into the indian? well, keeping the focus on coven controversies. recent studies by european

n g o is have claim, but e. u vaccine deals, including again, with pfizer. prioritize financial interests over public health concerns or to contribute or ritual. marston's been delving deeper into the jerry cove. it, the european union rolled out a block y q r code system as proof of vaccination for travel leisure. and in some cases a condition of employment. even as reports started raising 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 clements 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, their and clients who received and ultimately paid for the jobs being average european citizens. to make matters worse, phases ceo al, but bowler has twice, refused to appear in front of her pin parliament's coven 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, defies o 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 wagner 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 bullet dead, which has now led the committee to request that world as access privileges to the european parliament. he revolts and access to you. politicians for corporations under 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 end yos reports, which also touch on the lip service that the e you paid to global unity against coven. while at the same time gate, keeping it cove, it technologies and practicing a 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 back from lobbying and shady deals have made their way into the spotlight in the ear recently with the rest of officials and personnel, accused of corruption over linked to lucrative could tarry and murat can lobbying efforts. and now with this report suggesting that's just the tip of the iceberg. if the e u is curious about transparency, at least as serious as vulgar line says she is in the wake of the target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy, e o buddies. instead of hiding from the people she's actually meant to serve modern barbarism. that's how turkey's described a protest by a controversial swedish danish political figure who publicly burned the koran on

saturday, in the name of democratic values rasmus polluted and set fire to islamic holy book . in front of the turkish embassy in stucco with the permission of the swedish authority. during this, she also grounded turkey's president islamist dictator pollutant is known for organizing similar stumps, and the puff was convicted of racism in denmark after posting it is long video on social media last year his announcement that he wants to embark on a koran burning tour during the muslim holy month of ramadan was public outrage on spark riots in sweden, with turkey condemned the swedish authorities for allowing the latest protest saying that it encourages hate crime and cra, also counsels a plan visit of sweden's defense minister over the issue, which was aimed at resolving turkeys, concerns about stock homes bid to join nato, a long standing issue out. according to t. r t world editor of large use of erm the events could weigh heavy on sweden's

session, hoped. 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 the conversations don't get opened up any time. the images are now very busy that created a lot of outreach inside. 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 as the, as the dates back home is now its own worst enemy, and it's probably shot

a silver bullet in its own. but i want to turn attention on the program to the middle east where thousands of people have gathered and televi to protest against the newly formed is really government headed by benjamin netanyahu. demonstrators are demanding an immediate reversal of plan. you reform into radical changes to the judiciary that would limit the powers of the high court. frequent protests have been held over the past number of weeks since the reforms where a nines, the new government has been from the most hard life in the country. history, aside from judicial changes, one of the 1st proposals of the new authorities was, is really a settlement expansion on palestinian to africa. protests ob, again, are up to them per quino fossil over a continued french military presence in the nation. demonstrators are demanding the european trip to leave the country along with horace's bus teacher, an

r t reporter sent us this. why good job? it is because of look a lot. that's where he is. i want him also. i country want peace. they said they are there to help us, but they all and they are because it all misfortune, one them to leave the country to my message. to france, we are tired, she should leave our country. is what creates problems for us and kills are people . his friends has been here with us. we don't feel better up front itself is our terrorist frances never helps any country. wherever france goes, destroyed and repaired because increase the brain tree goal for my son. luke allows the dispenser for hundreds in booking a parcel that close you and the house on the keys of the military day. the one who

called the last you said the fossil has to replace the look. i love requests that it calls in relation between the 2 countries. finally, the sick or to a state of france will sense you know what they're doing and nobody can see. but i'm lots of luca lives with li willow. r p was going to our sister, cello, r t, fronts has been forced to close. it's the consequences of a 9th package of anti russia functions unveiled by b e u. the channel say's the jobs and likelihood of $123.00 french employees are now a record. previously our t francis bank account was blocked in the country. the request of harvest is treasury department. moscow sees it will use the same measures against french media

in russia. as a result. in the statement, the channels management said the closure. well, not only learn many families with financial difficulties, but also further roads, media, freedoms, in france. well, to discuss the news, let's go live now to investigate of journalists moody, but more dba for his thoughts. hello to you. r t france has branded the move an act of censure ship. how do you see it? ok, thank you very much. so once again, i think this is a direct attack on media. you know, it's a direct attack on democracy stereotype on an exit information. you know, i think that just shows the policy of front end of the western western world. another grow on speaking about the freedom of the media to grow and speak about freedom of speech, freedom of exits, information, but the actions that they do go against what they stand for, you know, i think it's similar to what's, what's, what june assigned you is great you to put agenda and it was was being imprisoned.

muddrick was committed, a crime was exposed to the there is a possible yeah. an apart from the journalists who may not lose their job, the channel said it's blocking is the 1st step on a quote dangerous path. another media will become targets very soon considering moody, but both france, the e r a times receive for a supporters of free speech. are you surprised it's happening? i'm not surprised. you know, i think they did the, with the un funds not always wants to be seen as the prefix of the all those want to be seen as standing up or people. but when you look closely that the ones that come into the most atrocities across the world, you know, so this is just a lie. what the french have been doing over the years. you know, i think i wanted to find the silence of other media houses. you know, because once once what allow one media house you get shut down,

ration opening up more intense and other media, you know, today's most be 6 months in it. so i think media has a cost of all need to speak in one voice again. this, this, this, the center. sure. yeah, i'll not very point. you think any western journalists, media channels, are they likely to speak out against this? will they have the foresight to say if it's happening to, to our tea? france? well, maybe one day when the tide turns against us, we could be next in the firing line. he think that could happen. i look comes with 2 checks. you to speak, i guess, you know, because the proven over the proven auto, but it's not to stand for anything that does match the i think it just push risdon up again that they don't care about what's happening on the ground. the kid about it that the reality of people that you know,

so she didn't see with the media coming out and speaking about this very short, if you get to see what it's we jenise speaking about this issue. but it is this growing intuition, sentiment, you know, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that is very efficient, the wrist in walking by any medicine is russians and over area. so you can guess will say that no. so these are very said capable for media across the world. yeah, i remember when the french president, monday one micron and coal, the channel propaganda was very little fight back there was some, but very little fight back from the mainstream media. all not. you're in africa talking to us now. our t francis freaking me reported unused from african nations, given the rise of, of anti french sentiment there. i think we can safely say that is happening. do you think there could be another reason for this spun? look, i think, i think google griffin and something you know, is that the biggest war that's happening in the world is the way to teach actually,

to capture people's mind to capture the narrative. you know, so i think he's been, it's, and has proven it's given as a challenge with, with all the time of the control the narrative. no, there is that how could it be consuming? what, what you like a, that actually looking at the facts, you know, so i think the version of the growth of our team is actually going to be very, very detrimental to within media, once a while for me all to, you know, i mean, i mean, i think, i mean, i mean join us, but we also saw our team being shut down our last. yeah. you know which many people so like, we want to listen to russia. you know, we want to listen to all, he wants to know what to do to listen to all kinds of sites. you know, so, so this move it's, it's, it's actually, it's shocking, it's, it's, it's a, it's depressing. but i think it goes in line with western propaganda, you know, for them to control the now it's to be the only ones that actually have a voice that comes to media. it's pretty chilling, isn't it?

if it's not our who we don't want to listen to it, well, we'll see how, how this develops, but right now, it's not a good situation, but he, but thanks for your time, especially the saturday evening coming on the program, speaking to us. medina, mcgee, about investigative journalist making from johannesburg today. thank you very much . not a half century struggle to return home next week. chronicle the fight by exiles after the u. s. navy expelled the entire creole population of the che, got islands in order to install a military base on the indian ocean territory. i've never heard of the story, but this documentary puts it right up. you enjoyed a ah

ah, i don't, douglas said den, but i.
