u. k. m e u agreed a protocol meaning customs, jackson, northern ireland for imports from the rest of the u. k. leading pro british unit as part of the d u. p. 's boycotting the parliament because it says the protocol treats northern ireland differently to the rest of the u. k. where we challenge reports from belfast. time has run out for northern ireland to restore his devolved government. last ditch effort to break the political deadlock, have failed. so northern ireland miss now head back to the polls, i hear it when parties say that they really do not want an election at all, but nearly all of them, but parties who signed up to the rules, the laws. that means i need to call an election, so you'll hear more from me on that particular point. next week, the heart of the disagreement is the northern ireland protocol. it's the part of the u. k. post wreck to deal with the e. u. that's resulted in a trade border between northern ireland and the rest of the u. k. to avoid a hard border between nor

the u. e and saudi arabia reportedly refused to take jo biden's phone calls in the just a few months later, the saudis refused to increase output during biden's visit to reared. then on the 4th of october, there was a campaign from the white house saying come on increase output. and then we see today's carter should say the u. e 160000000 barrel decrease. $526000000.00 you cuz my russia and saudi arabia each. i'm just going to tell you that the white house officials are being quoted on argue bill margery stenographer. the u. s. media has st. quotes disappointed by the short sighted decision, basically from saudi you, a rusher, other members of opec, and a kind of threat. some way to argue that by the administration, according to these anonymous source has been graded on us, i was, will consult congress in addition to working with already to reduce opec's control over energy prices. it is a balancing game, but then again, the international, the strategic, sorry, no internet. we american strateg

and we'll see people displace the e. u concurs with that argument and also claims that it could lead to land grabs by the ugandan government. uganda insists that the e u is wrong. the european parliamentary solution, quoting several distortions jablonka, display of limited knowledge. unable to get it. yet it is only gonna worry and got the old projects are being designed to technologically, generate the lowest possible a couple, woodberry. what were all your project? well, within a category of law, in is a leaders are currently scouring for fossil fuels and they use more of them than any african country. and despite this, this hardly a word of condemnation from brussels, but the use as it is intend on stopping the financing of fossil fuel projects, even for poor countries, like uganda, even though such a project could help the country fund it's transition from fossil fuel energy dependence we think the bank should now go further and also exclude all coal in oil related investments and further outline of policy and graduall

u. s. and norway exploiting e u countries desperation through price gouging. earlier this week, french president, michael used his summit platform to repeat his opposition to building a new gas connection between spain and france, which germany really wants. because it would allow cheap gas from north africa to flow into neighboring you countries and germany as well. but let's face it, france would lose a market in the long run for its l. n. g plans. if it supported the project, you k prime minister list trust was also in attendance and made a point of calling michael a friend. even though just weeks ago she said that the jury is out on whether he's a friend or foe for britain. but here it was, all smiles, kind of, she doth protest too much. perhaps the polish prime minister didn't miss the opportunity to pick yet another fight with germany. you showed, with a year to day, we often talked about the algorithm of germany. it clearly shows that it cannot be the case that the european unit energy policy is being dictated by germany. poland also decided recently to

these include the 27, e u member states. countries who don't want to be in the e u like norway and switzerland. those that do and the one that recently left, oh, you've got to hand it to the easiest leadership for getting an ar sep, from everybody that they invited to join the european political community. but there is still the feeling that the purpose of the format is far from clear. and with so many nations gathered at the table, some of them friends and some of them froze. the skeptics are doubtful about what the e p c can accomplish and whether it will be anything more than just a nother talk shop. this is about diplomacy in a different route. this is about making sure we keep our neighbors and our enemies close and making sure we speak to them on a regular basis. and people will genuinely feel. is it possible to have a conversation of this nature with that kind of difference? and that kind of difference, a difference in ideology. and i think the only good thing about this is, is making sure we keep diplomatic channels open the ear council president, char michelle, will leave the discussi

and this is upsetting e u unity. how difficult is it to reach a consensus because they are very different countries and very different needs? when you talk about taking your own approach, you really, i believe talking about energy security and how each country is looking to handle its domestic responsibilities in terms of keeping the heat on and the lights on difficult because it affects tasks in effect budget, some countries are able to borrow more in public markets and others, and it's brittany to coordinate all this stuff in a way that pays for it. and that doesn't cause other people to feel like they're paying for their neighbors. max is, is a very, is on, he's the issue to manage. is it even if you are doing it, country by country, can you explain the rate at which these energy prices are spiraling and the impact that it's having on the people? well, i think we work for people all over the world are also very poor people in europe in spain. here in the u. k. i talked to exaggerate the impact the prices i was jus

as you mentioned earlier, the leader of the u. e was meeting with president putin in the venice of the north, in saint petersburg to day, both sides seeming to make clear that, that they want to stabilize the energy markets around the world. but we're seeing such movements, a geopolitical and jew economic movements on the global chess board these days with the bricks and the s c o and, you know, representing 75 percent of the world's working class. and the major energy holders as well. just just quickly, you've got very little time here, but how would you sum up the geopolitical and do economic moves? we're seeing on a chess board right now. well, i think her match g n a column is michael hudson levey. mr. clements, have you spoken to him? before said in the past few days for ages it's been very hard to imagine a complete realignment of the world economic system. but ironically, thanks to joe biden, brussels nato, the european union. they finally catalyzed the conditions in which governments all over the world, including usual u. s.

or the e. u has already agreed other measures to reduce demand and protect supplies. these include a so called solidarity levy on energy companies, excess profits, and the cap on revenues made by non gas electricity produces a mandatory 5 percent cost on electricity consumption during peak hours until march next year. and a voluntary 10 percent reduction to be decided by each member state. many have already set standard limits. it's lee in spain of order the maximum temperature of 90 degrees celsius for central heating. while germany has turned off hot water and public buildings. and frances, even put speed limits on ski lifts and producing less artificial snow or storing energy bills and rising living costs of triggered protests across major european cities in the past few months. and this was a dominant issue in the recent elections in italy and squeeze them off, so as to boston, as more for one protest in prague. this is the largest straight union rally in a factory. workers have to take it to the street here in a how they call this rally. and we are meeting here,

he warned me, hunt of russia's plan is to set off another wave of migration towards the e. u. during the whole, al jazeera brussels said ahead here on al jazeera in the run up to the world. come here and can't on. we'll hear how the gulf nations football team is evolved over the years. plus women's world cup jewel will be announced on saturday. the excitement building up in one of the host countries. ah, here's your weather update in a minute 15. thank you so much for joining in still plenty of sunshine to be found across the middle east. but where we have showers, that is putting a cap on temperature. so in northern iraq or beale at $28.00 degrees. but look where that stands, our back dead, or all the way up to 37. across the gulf. temperatures are running above average for the some the year. we're whining down october and we're up to 38 degrees in doha, on saturday. and through pakistan, things are fairly calm. we did see some snow over the tops of the mountains and k p k province. but plenty as certain to be found here, karachi at $34.00 degrees, but we have white weather s

and they still keep rising with inflation now at 10.7 percent across the e. u. so here are some, both from palermo, italy explaining how they're coping. i don't think so feeling though money. if you leave the house with one price and return the next day and it's another every day changes. so if you go shopping with a plan and end up with you or i, tim thing you expect it, i only buy the necessity. serrano but at everything seems strange to me when i see the exponential increase in prices, i realize that transport costs have risen, and as a result, prices have risen. but not to such an extent. in my opinion, a bigger number goes up a little light gas and spending all rise day by day. is there anyone who can live on the minimum pension as it is? how do you keep going like this? when i miss you wonder la garza and her colleagues even here these people, brussels engineered this, this crisis and just keeps tinkering with it. she had interest rates 3 quarters of a percentage point yet again last week in an effort to break inflation. and that despite some block opposit

and you rules do allow these things to happen because there is no e u mechanism if you will. the gemini is not acting against the roles. but now the left, of course, germany is a very big player. it is the euro zones, most important country. and most important economy, so anything that germany does economically when it comes to financial aid in particular, of course, is being watched very closely. and there is a chance that a e u countries are taking a possibly dangerous q, were from germany, because financial experts are warning that the debt funded aid package could open the door for less fiscally prudent countries to want to borrow large amounts of money. and then potentially leading to trouble like we've seen in the u. k. well, of course, every european country at the moment is dealing with the full out from the pandemic, with all the consequences of the lack of energy supplies on the world market and rising energy prices as a consequence. and so of course, everybody is concerned about am angry citizens as well. we don't know how to pay their gas bills or their energy bil

e. u. alongside that other perennial pariah hungry whose prime minister had this to say about brussels performance. russia has not been brought to it's nice at all . while european economies sa, bleeding out, it is evident that the policy of factions must be changed. so that by the tend to project unity in prague, there's a lot more going on beneath the smiles in the class photo from this particular summit. we're joining us won't be to pass now is senior research fellow of the global policy institute of london. george saw me with a many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you now ahead of the summer in prague. hungary point is to said that you are a pain, economies are bleeding out while the western sanctions have fell to head russia. however, the commission chief came to sanctions all working so well, he'll take on these conflicting statements. well, victor or bon as opposed been the the, the form to reboot of the european union for quite some time. and this is typical

they claimed that they launched this attack from odesa from odesa u-e here are a few moments i thinkid not hear that there was an official confirmation from the armed forces of ukraine that some actions were taken precisely on the base in sevastopol, but a historical parallel was drawn. because it was on october 30, uh, a historical fact, in the 41st year, the defense of sevastopol began, and we know how it ended . let's wait for the official confirmation regarding odesa, from the mention of odesa, well, it's already, excuse me for the word, a chip. both grandfather kabaev and his henchmen have explosives to the crimean bridge through the port of odesa through bulgaria. there are also launch drones, i will tell you so. it has been known for a long time that if the people of odessa take up something, they see it through to the end. unfortunately, the bridge is in the state it is in. the black sea claude has not disappeared, well, it’s definitely them. we haven’t started yet. it concerns exactly this new agreement. this was the reason to officially announce that russia is withdrawing f

e u. countries are in the grip of an energy crisis with gas prices up 300 percent since the outbreak of war in ukraine. and e. u. leaders are still gripped by indecision over how to deal with it. because roadmap that now has to be worked on and then implemented. it is a joint purchase big step forward. it is the rules for sharing gas. so the solidarity agreements and the rules that have to be followed in case of severe disruption. it is a topic of excessive price prices and how to limit them. despite hints that agreement division remains between heavy weights, germany, and france on an energy priced cap. that would see the e u refusing to trade gas above a certain level. germany believes that would lead to supply shortages with trade is simply selling their wares on asian markets for a higher price. they've agreed to keep talking in classic e u style. the leaders have pushed discussions on to energy administers, who meet next week ahead of a possible emergency summit. next month. it seems likely they'll agree to some form of cartel style gas buying similar to the methods used to buy a

the only way to deal with a high price is in the short term, is through e u action, or collect of purchases, a viable price caps. this would help all e u member states. but behind the scenes, difficulties between 2 of the used leading powers, france and germany became apparent. while german chancellor left shows continued to oppose the idea of a gas price cap. french president emanuel am i call, and several other countries kept pushing hospice in the fall. i believe that it is not good for germany, nor for europe. if germany isolates itself, it is important that on a proposal that deserves broad consensus, we can find the unanimity, unanimity, lead as eventually agreed upon a general felt map. now energy ministers from the 27 countries have to pick up the slack at that meeting in luxembourg. next week are correspond and jack parrot followed the talks in brussels and he has more on what any leaders really mean when they talk about a roadmap. road map might, by a cynic, be considered something of a copy on an agreement. essentially what the leaders of the 2070 you countries have done is told

u. k. left the e. u, a new system was needed to regulate trade because the e u require strict checks on some goods from non e countries. that meant potentially creating a har border between northern ireland, which is part of the u. k. in the republic of ireland, an e u. country, but that would rip apart the p steel, that ended decades of violence. so the u. k and the you signed a deal that included a protocol that effectively moved border between northern ireland and the rest of the u. k. some goods arriving from britain and out shacks and northern irish ports, the leading unionist party, the d u. p says that undermines their place in the u. k. is refused to let northern ireland, former government until the protocol is scrapped. where we challenge as this report from belfast. time has run out for northern ireland to restore his devolved government. last ditch efforts to break the political deadlock have failed. so northern ireland must now head back to the poles. i hear it when the policies say that the

that washington would not recognize the new borders and promised to provide more aid to ukraine, the e u commission chief ursula vandal, and said, move by russia, quote, one, change anything. and the you case, new prime minister, less trust promise to ensure that russia would lose what she called an illegal war . well, in response to russian president vladimir putin best guess i'm with strategic security agreements, fly into the trash or we hear is the west defends in order based on rules. where did these rules come from? who's ever saying these rules, solid deception, double already triple standards? it's easy to count on fools. russia is a 1000 year old civilization and it will not live by such false rules. the west uses suppression, exploitation, and enslavement instead of democracy. the unipolar, well that is built is anti democratic, deceitful and hypocritical through and through, by joined in the program here on our team by former pentagon, security analyst of michael maloof. he says, the world order is in up here, ukraine was only the instigator. it's been building for quite for m
