that the, i quote the i am received at the privacy of each law should only apply in areas where the e u has competence and the framework for this is laid down in the e use founding treaties. constitutional courts and tribunals have every right to examine the scope and limits of new competences. he has a point, does me? this is perfectly right and that's the very nature of the european union. on the one hand, the member states remain the masters of the process and they decide what competence is our european eyes, to what extent and this is written in that has been treaty at the moment. it has to be had the same with a founding treatise and all the following treaties. that's the one side of the story. the other side of the story is the moment european eyes law. this law supersedes over national law or any law. it doesn't matter if it's written in the constitution or if it's a convention or an unwritten law, this is the only way to create a legal space in which law is equal to everyone. so no one questions this. and i also don't think that it's the core of the problem that it's a judicial

first of all, this cannot be seen an independent from the overall e, u, u. k. tensions a over irish c checks and the demands by the british to scrap the role of the european court of justice and policing a part of the the deal between the new k, the northern irish part now that set. secondly, ultimately, both sides will need to compromise on fishing because european fishermen and french fishermen are dependent on being able to fish in british waters on the one hand. and the british fisheries sector is dependent on the european consumer markets on the consumers of the european union. to be able to sell all their fish and we've seen earlier this year, particularly with, with scottish fishermen, how much damage can be done when, when this is being disrupted. so at the end of the day, it's great for postering, but a deal will need to be found. john kristof, i saw you nodding along to some of what peter was saying there. did you want to jump in? did you have something you wanted to add? yeah, just just just i'm cry ok with the whole perspective, but inside the yo

so what exactly is the protocol that the e, u and britain are divided about? well, no, that island is the only area where the u. k. and the block physically meet, that's a 500 kilometer border of keeping that open is a crucial part of the 1998 good friday agreement. the accord ended the long running conflict in northern ireland that killed more than 3000 people. to avoid any physical border checkpoints, the protocol crated accustomed divide in the iris seen stead, which is inside the u. k. and to add to the complicated process, northern ireland must follow you rules as a condition of briggs. it overseen by the european court of justice. you case adamant that must change with andrew simmons joins us live now from belfast. andrew, so the u. k. making some very big demands of the e. u. was the response likely to be them from brussels? well it's like as a bait, in fact is almost certain to be very generous when it comes to the whole issue of border checks. of the customs areas are all on the ports here and also regulations on goods. and it's set to be something lik

the government in warsaw has welcomed the decision, but e. u leaders are threatening to retaliate on sunday. hundreds of thousands of polish protest has urged their government to commit to keeping poland in the block will bring an i guess in just a moment. but 1st a report from out to cirrus warri challenz in morsel i, it's large crowds and e. u flags are plenty, and central war. so and real fears for the country's future, we would like to stay in the european union and we are very afraid that, that we are going to, to the pol exit together with the government of mr. kuchinski and the others here. it's like, you know, a magician who is playing a young magician who is playing, who is fire and he doesn't know how to know how to stop so it can explode. so i think he's the same here for they don't really know what they did since the constitutional tribunal ruled on thursday. that foundational parts of you law don't apply in poland, starting opposition, politicians. and he, you supporters of been mobilizing the turn out here, reinforces a central po

and there's plenty of e u money already involved. warsaw is the largest beneficiary of the e u. cohesion fund. and it's set to receive 75000000000 euro over the next 6 years . add to that tens of billions in subsidies and cheap loans. and the idea of warsaw quitting the e u club looks less and less likely. all of that is at risk. if poland continues to fight the european union on the rule of law case, warsaw hasn't received its covered aid money yet, while some other member states are already spending there's. that may be why the prime minister is putting himself over in a far more diplomatic fashion than some of his m p's on this issue. i think we will be able to clear all doubts without create an unnecessary tash and here, of course, there is no talk of pol exit while. glancing over to the united kingdom, the only country to leave the e u club may provide more of a cautionary tale and been careful what you wish for than any shining example of sunlit uplands. upon leaving the european union, peter oliver r. t. berlin. afghanistan's banks are running out of cash and people are running ou

or, oh, e u relations. why? because or for example, of france as he's no own or m i t m bomb other own nuclear weapons, but germany does not have nuclear weapons where it behaves, but it cannot produce them each se, the share originally the u. s. and they depend on the american gra, umbrella, a. so they, they added a double truck position. they are a steel stick to nate, off of our security, and or to keep leadership. we've sat on undisturbed european countries war a suspicious of russia. at the same time, germany as an economic power. no perfectly that if you you were on germany wants to be strong economic, you know, the need russian on a cas a. so there is a defacto audience between germany and russia dumps of energy. so there's a very complicated world where you can have different audience. he's on a jo, strategic, or g o economic or a traumatic and oh, so you are a member states for a long time. you don't have any responsibility for a security will very few of in a where dependent of the u. s. and know it's

instead they support a foster renewable rollout and integration of e u electricity markets. and that's not the only hurdle facing block members. for example, several e u countries including france, an slovenia, who is infrastructure minister chad. today's emergency energy meeting expressed support for the use of nuclear power. however, that very issue has previously that to infighting among various states as a shaolin dubin ski now picks up the story. the energy crisis combined with you countries trying to meet call been neutrality targets, bodes well. the francis a favorite form of power nuclear in brussels. the commission president hate the red button. we need a stable source, nuclear and during the transition of course, natural gas. and this is why, as we've already stated, as a commission in april, we will come forward with our taxonomy proposal. member states have been bitterly divided over nuclear power. the commission chief herself previously branded it as dangerous and the likes of austria, germany in spain, all local opponents, who were disconcerted to learn that in

the e u is thinking about its response. it neither wants to let this slide nor worse than the dispute. we will react, of course, like we're like we have done in the last weeks and most you have seen that again, we already know false new decisions of the court of justice about as efficient in colon also possible, a daily financial sanction. the constitution now joins issues like judicial reform, abortion, and l g b t writes connected fronts in a power struggle between poland, government and the e. u. that's getting worse, not better, rory, talents, how to 0, also or other e u. member states are resisting some of the blocks so called shared values. hungary has backed poland, controversial court ruling prime minister, victor all been has been at odds with the e, you about judicial independence. the european commission is worried about political interference and the legal system of some of its members states. it's also concerned about attacks on journalists and hostility towards activists defending women's and l g b t q writes

they also accused the e. u. of instrumental lazing. human rights is the use of this award that the price is also been awarded to political leaders in the past. but some of since fallen foul of the you including anson suki in my, and man as a result, she's been stripped of her rights to be part of this exclusive community. the addition now of alexi, nevada, in the will, it increased those thoughts from many that really this is an award that is being used as a political tool by the european union, against those government sit dislikes or disagrees with well as the european parliament award bert one german m b p is far from happy at the decision at camellia and cross as the west applying double standards towards political opposition. that's unacceptable. you all know direct. good, mr. yvonne, the, when he came up to a clear races and then he was in russia for having for the, for, for making him with putting the money to a company and paying taxes. and that can be reached. now we reach now the situation that it beco

members, that the problem here is to do the e u, and it's policies of moving towards a green energy agenda. they see that e use trying to do this too fast, and it hasn't been able to move quick enough to it, but at the same time as being stopping the use of things such as fossil fuel. so natural gas and cold being used in its energy stations, energy price is currently soaring across the e u and putting unprecedented pressure on both energy companies and all our citizens when designing energy and climate policies, we have to ensure their social acceptability. otherwise we risk their failure. ah, but the e u flatly denies that. this is the case. in fact, it's gone on the, the fight saying that actually the result is that it hasn't moved fast enough to green energy policies. and it says that the block is over dependent on fossil fuels . it says it now must go harder and faster on the green agenda instead of being paralyzed or slowing things down because of the price hike. now, in the energy sector, we should speed things up in the transition to renewable energy. so the affordable renew

and the e. u. appears to have come to an end. the west is hell bent on lecturing. moscow negotiating and dialoguing among equals has have been part of the equation for a very long time. the west is making a serious strategic error. i cross sucking rushes relate.

i mean, i apologize for jumping in, but we now have the e u parliament suing b e u commission for failing to trigger mechanisms or punish naughty member states . i mean is the block at wall with itself? well, the temple as well, which part of it says yes, there is a majority as well with the minority, but of course the majority could change tomorrow. if i doing is people lazy, more of the national fun come to power in france, which i don't think is going to happen soon. but if they can then shift and then they'll be a war between those states and other states aren't on the what. and my point is that given that these know you have be and people and the new, are you hoping people not even information the same way? they still version people. there are 2 people in belgium and then there are constant quarters. and of course, in europe, the girls are going to be far greater and firm over in and then they are in belgium because belgium is a common history. moreover, belgium used to be due to the united county with all the parties being both french and dutch speaking. and again phoebe united now

the dispute came ahead of an emergency meeting that took place today in luxembourg by e. u. ministers raised the disagreements of health and the crisis is the price spikes have global drivers. we should be very careful before interfering in the design of internal energy markets. this will not be a remedy to mitigate the current price and energy prices linked to fossil fuels. markets that are in countries say they're against out of radical reforms. instead they support a foster renewable rollout and integration of e u electricity markets. but that's not the only hurdle facing block members. for example, several e u countries including from fence, lavinia, who is infrastructure minister chad, today's emergency energy meeting expressed support for the use of nuclear power. however, that very issue has previously led to in fighting among various states. as all these shot into whiskey now reports the energy crisis combined with e u countries trying to meet colbin neutrality targets, bodes well. the francis favorite form of power nuclear in brussels. the commission president hit

it was the venezuelan opposition at a time when the e. u was sanctioning president madura of venezuela. and in fact, it was that year that emmy peas really hate out really started to get angry about this award at saying that the e you had and a mind dialogue and venezuela their words not mine. and as a result were boycotting the ceremony that year, they also accused the e. u. of instrumental lazing. human rights is the use of this award that the price is also been awarded to political leaders in the past. but some of since fallen foul of the you including ang, since the key in my, and man as a result, she's been stripped of her rights to be part of this exclusive community. the addition now of alexi, nevada, the will increase those thoughts from many that really this is an award that is being used as a political tool by the european union, against those government cit dislikes or disagrees with. it's a european parliament award, but one german emp is far from happy at the decision. maximilian crosses the west's applying double standards tow

in the beginning is scary, but in the end it's that ah, a bit of splits exposed at an e u summit as leaders demand poland obeys european rulings, but warsaw insists that pluralism, respected. oscar says it's not surprised by aggressive rhetoric from nato state south to germany. calls for nuclear weapons to be deployed near russia's borders. people try bernoulli in london, tries alleged to us crimes and an act of support for we can mix whistleblower julian assange to washington once extradited from the u. k, which he likes editor in chief says allegations of a cia plot to kill a song proves his case, has been politicized. the recent revelation shows without any doubt to the political elements of the case. because studios on small, we have all human rights and civil liberties organization of any married to team up together and highly vulnerable patients are at risk in the you. k is doctors. confusion grows over the difference between a 3rd dose of a coven vaccine. and the booster as well as which is the correct order to administer them to people that's giving the function. dr. sacred? no, no.

something that the e u has been grappling now with for many years. you leaders saying once again, the issue right now is coming from bella roofs and saying that the government of president lucas shanker is using migration as an instrumental tool for his politics . the you saying though, that it will have a new way of potentially dealing with this autumn. bluetooth, we're focused on external migration, especially from belarus to e member status. this constitutes a hybrid threat. one has to be frank about that guns. mr. hooker shanker was using people for his policy and cussing car we are very concerned about the situation at the borders in with fellows. we consider the behavior of the bellows government as a hybrid attack. we will keep up the pressure on the location co regime and we are ready to explore options for further sanctions, not only for individuals but also for entities or companies. so possibly new sanctions against the bell or a roof. however, there are some that say that sanctions are not the way food, and in fact, all they're doing is a

the e u is thinking about its response. it neither wants to let this slide nor worse on the dispute. we will react of calls like we are like we have done in the last weeks or, and most you have seen that again, we already know false new decisions of the court of justice about the situation in colon. oh, so possible a daily financial sanction. the constitution now joins issues like judicial reform, abortion, and l g b t writes connected fronts in a power struggle between poland, government and the e u. that is getting worse. not better, rory, challenge how to 0. also. dozens of refugees, including 17 children, have been rescued in the mediterranean sea. a pregnant woman was along the 59 pupil helped by an italian angio ship operated by their rescue. charity. it was sailing on a wooden boat that left from libya 24 hours earlier. syrians, yemenis, and nigerians were among those rescue hundreds of indigenous protests to his have rallied in chile to oppose the celebration of the spanish conquest. 500 years ago. indigenous people

and warsaw took a lot of a flat from e u. leaders for challenging the blocks core value or the rule of law. now in the, if the riff that is, goes further, the e, you may punish warsaw by pulling billions of euros in so called covert recovery funds. while the reason tensions have added more fuel to the idea of poland, maybe even leaving the european union. although as we heard, there are a strong support to stay in the u. of the government are very simply chosen and other way away of confrontation with you. and now it looks like it's a very strong recording, very strong foot. no, very strong. swa goes for the struggle between the commission on the les and, and the polish government is very busy, but the struggle is growing. on the other hand, government knows that they need money from that you've florida, even on the recovery. i think the people in poland, in majority support being in the use of the younger generation is very skeptical about living. i think that young people are not, as we imagine living in and other words without you, without those possibilities, like working abroad st

the energy crisis combined with e u countries trying to meet colbin neutrality targets, bodes well. the francis favorite form of power nuclear in brussels. the commission president hit the red button, we need a stable source, nuclear and during the transition of course, natural gas. and this is why, as we've already stated as a commission in april, we will come forward with our taxonomy proposal. member states have been bitterly divided over nuclear power. the commission chief herself previously branded it as dangerous and the likes of austria, germany in spain, all vocal opponents. we were disconcerted to learn that in the opinion of the joint research center, there were no indication that the high risk technology that is nuclear power is more damaging to human health and to the environment than other forms of energy generation, such as wind and solar energy nuclear power, however, is a high risk technology in germany. people are concerned by the european commissions change of heart. galvan if i don't believe in nuclear power has been proven to be the most dangerous and expensive f

as e. u. leaders are sounding alarms that a shortage of magnesium coming from china could take a toll on the blocks economy. now, china produces iran. 87 percent of the global supply are the essential component for aluminum. alloy is used in cars, plains, and electronics, and roughly 95 percent of the mag newseum that europe consume. german chancellor angle and merkle brought up the issue on thursday during a summit of you leaders according to sources familiar with the matter quoted by several outlets. meanwhile, a dozen business groups worn late last week of an imminent risk of europe wide production shut down, as they only have enough of the metal to last through the end of november. chinese producers of course have cut output to save power and energy prices have skyrocketed due to the crunch. we've talked so much about in recent months. so what does this mean for the already strain global supply chain of the just let's bring in boom bus, co hosted investigative journalist, ben swan. and jo

also when to join the e. u, the u. k. gave up so much sovereignty, sovereignty and tons of ocean the fishing rights for the waters. so some of these fishermen, these french fishermen have been fishing in these waters the decades and for generations of their family. so given the agreement, the agreement, the proxy agreement, it was that those fishing whites will be phased out to 2026. in fact, less licenses given to french fisheries, a fish fishermen each year. so what is the issue right now to bring you up to speed it is that french fishermen have applied for these licenses? well, according to lord frost, i'm, he's the british. brick said minister, he has said that 98 percent of all those applications have been fulfilled and they've been licenses issued the french so want to fish them more. and the french fishermen have actually threatened that they will block calais. don cook the ports of dollar cal, aidan cook, and the child, if they don't get more fishing lights, but those waters are sovereign to the u. k. the u. k.

and what was said in the e u. parliament please. well, i have to say, i don't think i've ever seen a debate quite like it in the european parliament. fiery doesn't go. also way of describing some of the accusations that have been thrown there was mud slinging throughout the session at the european poland by the polish prime minister, and also by a piece right back at him. this was meant to be the opportunity for the polish prime minister to come to the european parliament to trying to heal these devices divisions between his country and the european union. his speech seemed to have done the exact opposite with peas, accusing him of leading towards a government of totalitarianism and undermining the e u. its foundations itself. now mud advanced key spent for around 30 minutes. and during that time, we talked about some of the issues that you rip was facing. he suggested that a lot of the issues europe was facing were the results of russia and russian interference. he then went on to talk about the fact that one crises could for separ

this is all a problem that has been made by the e. u itself until a few years ago. the european energy market was very stable, characterized by 10 to 15 year gas contract with russia. but then brussels wanted to introduce more flexibility with fuel long term contracts to reduce its dependence of russian gas. that by increasing price volatility and feeding the current crisis, or that decision has seen companies having to via the gas on the open market, meaning that they've been in competition with other markets such as the asian market. and it's just not that that some see is the problem. others have pointed the idea towards the fact that the e u is pushing too fast, too hard to move to green energy sources at the same time. it's not done enough to get those sources working while it's been aggressively shutting down gas fields domestically. and it's been taxing heavily carbon fueled power station, all of which, which is contributed to this issue. so possibly not as sexy is pointing the blame of russia and saying that president putin is waging a war on europe. but it

how's the lowest levels of unemployment in the e u? it's the 3rd most attractive member state for outside investment and inside the block, it's an important supplier to others. here's what people have to tell our t. it's better if we stay in the european union. bond is one of the most subsidized countries in the e. u sold by making our contribution to the ear budget and what we can get out of it, as well as receiving funding for various projects. this is a better option for us. we gain more than we lose. if the you have been in these presses for european integration and a creation of a united states of europe, we should think carefully about that because the policy of some french or german governments. but also the european commission to was poland is harmful to us and causes losses for us. we must be ready to implement our own pulled exit plan. if such a departure would be necessary for us. nobody wants to leave the european union. if someone says they want to leave the you, they probably lost their mind. a lot has changed. our countr

now this fall out between poland and the e. u. a, it has led to many people, fearing that the country could be perhaps a step closer to its own briggs. it a poll exit as it's been doubled in the media around the world. now that has led to whites or protests in poland with people cooling for it's government to sort of tie up ad to make up with the you. and while a po, legs, it may not be immediately on the cards. what this really is showing is that the use back is against the wall at the moment, and unless it takes clear and decisive action pretty quickly, there are fears that the whole order could crumble. british families who lost loved ones to cope at 19 and last year as care home crisis. and our taking legal action against the government ortiz, shadier. it was dusty breaks down the case. 2 daughters who lost their fathers in cove at head cow homes at the start of the pandemic, are now surveying the government. it's a landmark, actually not just in terms of a failure to protect the vulnerable responsibility for aggravating the r
