u. k. and, and across northern europe is that we're going to see more and more people living in cold, damp homes. and not me, if you have a preexisting health conditions. if you've got asked got lung conditions. if you've got cardiovascular conditions, if you're disabled, if you're out and the if you're young, you know all it, all these people are really badly affected by living in cold, damp homes. it makes preexisting conditions worse. that's going to put more strain on the health center. it says as well, so we're facing real challenges here because governments have not taken action in the past now, but you know, somewhat one man's crisis is another man's opportunity. i want to bring in antonio . good terror as the un secretary general, who speaks up the morality of the profits that are being made on this issue. cysts it is immoral for oil and gas companies to be making records profits from these energy crises on the back of the buddhist people and communities. and that the massive costs to the climate. the combined profits of the largest energy companies in the 1st quarter of the year a

and ukraine. this problem has been festering for a long time in europe, successive governments across, across study in the u. k. and across europe have not been enough to invest in energy efficiency measures. that's a way of like reducing our use of gas and electricity over the longer term. and we have those measures that many campaign is right. you're calling for them. we wouldn't have been so exposed to the volatility of the gas prices right now, because one of the biggest problems is that so much electricity in certainly in the u. k. but also elsewhere is generally for gas fired power stations. so we're importing gas. so in into that tricity, it sounds not because we got enough renewables in europe that we shouldn't even need to do that yet. again, successive governments have not gone fast enough towards renewable. so that means that we're stuck in this position where we're having to kind of stay increased prices. i think for us, the biggest problem is that the poverty here is we're getting into, into winter in the u. k. and across northern europe is that we're going to see more and more people living in co

u. k. and europe stabilize, what we're seeing politically is a deepening of the crisis. not only is there a huge amount of speculation that a series of few turns on their way. some of them have already been heavily reported upon, including the unfreezes of corp tax, so pivotal to at least draw some had chance laquanta crossings, promises to her supportive. now, also mounting media speculation that the chancellor himself quasi course and could be out of the job. and we will of course, continue following that story. meanwhile, the turkish president has ordered his officials to study a proposal by russia to set up a regional gas hub in the country. the russian leader says it's the best route to redirect gas to the e. u after the nord stream pipeline was damaged. early one says both countries will start work on this immediately. more than 500 people have died in nigeria is worse floods in a decade. unusually heavy rains lead to the destruction of tens of thousands of homes. a russia is calling on civilians in the croissant region to evacuate as ukrainian forces game ground i

u. k. and europe stabilize, what we're seeing politically is a deepening of the crisis. not only is there a huge amount of speculation that a series of few turns are on their way. some of them have already been heavily reported upon, including the unfreezes of corporation tax, so pivotal to alice trust and her chance the quality crossings promises to her supporters. now also mounting media speculation that the chancellor himself quasi crossing could be out of the job by the end of the day, adding to this on a few hours ago, news that he had cut short and all important visits to the i m f. a new york summoned back to london for crunch talks, a little his trust. and now we are expecting that all important press conference led by less trust herself, where she may well clear up all of their cert speculation. let me let them of course, let that sink in for a few seconds. because what this means is incredibly seismic for this fledgling government. they've only been in power for a while, less than 40 day so far. and this is the leadership of less trust that i was initiated in p

u. k. is involved that they're involved in actually planning, supporting and implementing the plot to destroy the pipeline. that of course took energy and gas to europe, but mostly specifically germany, which was heavily reliant on that. and of course, this, the u. k. responded with russia peddling, accusing russia, peddling false information, and an epic scale in order to distract from their well illegal invasion of ukraine . so what we're seeing is that the tensions have gone up, and of course, since europe made it difficult for russia to to, to actually have a conversation to, to, to get anything done. this is why they chose turkey as a, as a set of for the brain and ports. and what are the run the russian president have to say about that ukrainian grain export deal and about moscow's decision to suspend its participation. yeah, so what am i putting basically said that the, the green is not going to where it's needed most. so the poorest countries are not getting the brain that they need. specifically, we're talking about countries in the developing, in the developing world. and the vast majority of that green is to get into these countries. this

the streets every weekend, and it's only going to get worse because the prices are gonna go higher this winter . it's going to be a winter of discontent across europe, the u. k. and in the united states, because prices have to go higher on everything. inflation is going to go higher. so the politicians need to go. we need to get politicians that listen to the people. and take care of the people and bring back businesses so that instead of build back better, how about if we bring back business and we work on doing what the people say rather than doing what the leaders or rulers want. china is warning of a potential arms race after an australian t. v. investigation revealed us plans to deploy up to 6 nuclear capable. b, 52 bombers and northern australia. the relevant us behaviors have increased regional tensions seriously undermined regional peace and stability, and may trigger and arms race in the region. investigation by australia's abc television claims washington plans to housed the bombers at the tyndall air base south of darwin, the capital city of the northern territory. it said that the project will cost upwards of $100000000.00 and all the work due to

u. k? well, i think 2 reasons. one is even though the u. k has left the european union, the still very big economy in europe, and still does a fair amount of trade without a european country. so what happens in the u. k, i think does matter is also the question. i think of contagion. some people worried that if the economy of the u. k, runs into trouble, then we could find that that actually causes a ripple effect and other economies. and then i suppose the reason the reason which is well teach is on the government that you simply cannot. now go into a situation where you make tax cuts, which are completely on funding. it may be written off as all the docs economics. i cause cause and trust, but markets expect you to balance the books and if you do anything, i think 2 of the dogs, then you run into trouble cutting the bill. what position you mentioned that the, of course, that you came to you, they have some bad blood between each other. now, what position does the british government find itself in? as it looks to restart negotiations this week, over the northern ireland trade protocol, which is of course, a major sticking point and a legac

and europe. >> we know that what happens in europe and especially in the u k. they have been here for 5 weeks later. so that's that's of concern. >> also of concern, some of the new variants descendants of omicron. >> this option to be a 5 called bf 7. it is increasing very quickly. and belgium, for example, is about 25% of cases here in the u.s. and one from like one percent of cases. so by, you know, 7% of cases, 5 to 7% of cases over a few weeks. so it's the one to watch again. doctors say covid has taught us predicting what will happen is a fool's errand. >> but some things are likely we probably will see an increase in hopefully many of them island factions. but for those older folks and on people like me and compromise, if they haven't gotten a booster, particularly in 2022, they would be at risk for getting seriously ill. and i think that's really what they're trying to prevent so far. low percentage of americans have received the new omicron specific booster. doctors say that's the best way to be ready for what's to come. >> i think it's a good idea for

now the top gas supplier to europe and the u. k. jonah whole reports from norway, while european nato allies have focused on on being ukraine against russia. they've neglected their own vulnerabilities closer to home until that is vast. quantities of methane gas began bubbling to the surface off the coast of denmark and sweden, in the baltic sea last week. underwater explosions caused damage to both north st. pipelines, built to supply russian gas to europe, nato, called it sabotage. and despite a lack of hard evidence pointing to russian involvement, the alliance has warned that it will respond to an attack on allies key infrastructure. and there is real concerned that the next target could be norway. now europe's main gas supply in russia's place. prime minister jonas gas store has confirmed reports of an identified drones cited over key energy installations. when do i say is running out of options? they are. so what could they do to my mind going off to the end? if you can press what is, what are the things they could do at norwa

let's bring in on a man and he is the director of the u. k. in a changing europe initiative at kings college, london and josefina. from oxford. good tubby with us, sir on the program, the united kingdom is often described as having a multi cultural society. so i suppose it was just a matter of time before a political party chose sunday from an ethnic minority to lead them and eventually become prime minister. but did you expect it to happen so quickly? yes and no. i mean, i think we should under play the asset that is gone in to this from the major policies and actually physically the conservative to become more diverse, at least in racial terms. so it wasn't inevitable by any means. but i mean, one of the things that is really encourage me to days is how little people are talking about this from which i get the sense that actually this isn't considered in any way abnormal. we've had before. remember a cabinet that was very ethnically diverse, so this was the logical next step. but i think symbolically, it is a massive moment for britain to have the 1st sort of i

and the u. k. is electricity and gas supply or warn is that the nation could face power cuts this winter. that is, if the government is unable to import electricity from europe. and if it struggles to bring in enough gas to fuel its power, plants prime minister list trust has urged europe to keep energy exports flowing during the winter. in an article that she wrote the times newspaper, charlie angela is falling. this. she joins us live from london. charlie, this is something that has a lot of european countries, whether it's the mainland, whether it's the u. k. really rattle the head of this winter or tell us more? absolutely. yes. well, in the report, the national grid is laid out 3 possible scenarios for this country. this wind to in the 1st they say it's very likely that will be enough gas to provide britain with the same levels of electricity as in other winters. but it has modeled 2 more worrying scenarios. and in the fust, the energy crisis in europe deepens and that results in britain not being able to import enough electricity from front belgian and the netherlands. and that could cause so shortages. but the national grid says it struck deals with 3

and $7.00 newly reported cases there. in europe, a lineage detected 1st in asia has grown and prominence. in the u. k, which has a top notch surveillance system. experts are tracking the possible rise of still others. and indian scientists and authorities across the globe are chasing data on a troublesome variant dubbed x b b in singapore estimates show it could now be causing over half of all cases. and as we come in to the winter time, now we are starting to see further increases in sas curvy to activity. and so and part of that is being driven obviously by these different omicron variance and another infection, as compounding, concerns the flu. earlier in the pandemic measures that slowed the spread of the corona virus also helped people avoid getting infected with other pathogens, like those causing the flu. influenza mechanics ask her the to is a respiratory infection. so the measures that will put in place to reduce covey transmission also impacted influenza transmission. so when we reduced our mixing with people when we reduced our international travel that also reduce the ability of influenza

and carry out operations in iran. they're talking about those m u k. terris, that your government allowed to function across europe that have killed many thousands of iranians and acted as foot soldiers for saddam hussein, who are active in iran by their own own admission. so they're talking about that sedition. so, all right, all right. if you've, you've had, you've had other you've, you've flung around all the accusations, you haven't provided any evidence at all. let's talk if we may about the nuclear issue because you've been an advisor to the government on the nuclear issue. in your view, is this the end of the road for negotiations? we have the u. s, saying, but they simply don't believe that iran is prepared to do what's necessary to make the deal happen. in your view, is that the end of the road for the negotiations? well, the well, tim, who left the deal, who violated the deal, obama violated the deal when iran was carrying out all of its commitments. then trump tore up the deal when iran was carrying out all its commitments, then biting continue to pursue trans policies. so it wasn't iran fault. iran began ne

ah, ah, there are 2 new leaders in europe, italy's prime minister, georgia, bologna and u. k. prime minister rishi soon act. now upon 1st inspection, these 2 could not be more different soon as a champion of british conservatism. maloney at the head of a far right coalition with neo fascist routes. and yet they both signal changing dimes and a changing of the guard. maloney is italy's 1st female prime minister soon act. britton's 1st non white leader. a new generation coming to power facing challenges that their parents could never have imagined. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day ah, our country is facing a profound economic crisis, but the environment in which this government will be operating, it is complicated. i understand how difficult this moment is geopolitical tensions and energy crisis. a dampening types have a place pandemic, economic recovery. this government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability. every level also coming up here in berlin, the world's leading economies have come together to discuss rebuilding ukraine. a joint effort to pay

and doesn't make any sense at all to see the prime minister of u. k. describing itself as a zionist, and a big supporter of israel. with the lending energy crisis hanging over europe. some locals in italy had chosen a vivid way to voice their protest. dozens gathered in front of the bank of round setting fire to copy their utility bills. the protesters are demanding action is taken to for the sharp price increases and say they refuse to pay for their government intervention in the ukraine conflict. we got some reaction from protestors in sicily demo we were product started, but again, we're here to protest and make our voices heard against the rise in the prices of bills. it's all absurd. people can no longer shall they have to pay for electricity . it's really shameful. that some of these are moving. of course, we are angry, it does not seem absolutely correct that after 2 years of the pandemic, there is also an increase in energy and bills. we are very angry. this little tilted a little bit that us all the institutions must take immediate action. we have no more time, jo, even the citizens are unable to pay their bills. so if it goes on like this, some catastrop

they're also working very closely together. nato allies here of europe and they throw out of course the u. k. on ukraine. so they mind who is the prime minister that mind the chief gotten, and they will mind who replaces the comments. so christiana died and manual macro on a personal level. he said i was, i'm always sad to see a colleague go for the present, find stability as soon as possible. me home martin. the iris tea shop, also use the words at a personal level. i sympathize with her. i think it is a very difficult time, and as you guys closest neighbor, we wish that stability comes food given the current context. i'll tell you who hasn't been reticent at reacting though, is moscow. they're not, of course, represented here, but they are in the minds of everybody here and all was very keen to jump on perceptions of west weakness. the foreign ministry in moscow said, britain had never known such a disgrace of a prime minister in the view from moscow. i thanks so much jona. how they're i let's bring in charlie on jan and now she's outside parliament . i guess the key issue now will be how

and the parliament in the 1990 s before 911. of course the m u. k. terrace organization in iran, which fought for saddam same terror. murdered, 17000. you know, now based in our radio and across europe as an asset of nathan. so the fact that the united states is the power, not these are not these in ukraine is something that iranians finding disgusting. many thanks for speaking to us today. appreciate your time professor site, man and randy from the university of ron. thank you for the world health organization summit in berlin made a number of headlines that miles the agenda 3 day meeting. oh, scientists, rebellion claim to be behind the demonstration of the conference venue. protested auction on the climate emergency, please themselves to the ground and others to the hotels front door while others triggered a fire alarm during german chancellor la schoultz is speech. so we're discussing testing is use someone prestige prior law. he's not really supporting all the bases over here. they are doing some protests about climate and things like that. i think this would improve our discussion. i think the best way to to discuss is just continue with parents. in another incident, frankfurt

u membership like ukraine and the u. k. returning to the european stage, after breaks it, what we wanted to achieve in meeting here in prague is to bring together $44.00 sovereign states. which see europe as a single entity, whatever the particular forms for political or others to discuss among equals a sovereign states of problems that we face in common. that's exactly what we need . the group has no formal structure and some wonder if many more meetings will follow. so question know whether it's going to work or we have a european union, but not so many countries are members of european union. so the idea is to discuss the combination that we have currently the security issues that we have on the european continent. and i think it's very important that we have the same views, the same views, for example, on how to bring energy prices down. a thing to clear measure studio gas markets, the energy markets ish, that these 40 for leaders are completely aligned or, and have to join tradition to cooperate measures to bring down the gas prices. they may agree on bringing down prices, but so far, no consensus has a merge on how to do this. package is costing hundreds of billions of euros to h

control where the almonds and up just a few months ago europe hull had warned about such a situation unfolding. now, despite these, these western powers, including the e, u, the u. k, and the us of all increase their arms shipments to ukraine. that messy supports a cave has amounted to around 20 full $1000000000.00 in total. now finished journalists, yanez put could and says, wesson corporations are benefiting from these uncontrolled supplies of weaponry. police is at meeting that these weapons are flowing around europe and coming to, to back to finland. and now the same weapons are, are flowing to finland in the, in the grey market in the black market. why they want to escalate this or to borders everywhere. and certainly they know that these weapons are going in the hands of the militants, not only new crane or spreading weapons is spreading fear. and when people are getting feared they, they start to buy more and more weapons. because because weapon is always rush against the weapon. and of course, if we would take the perspective off these all benefits, the surgeon corporations which are running the western power structure and, and for them, these are the zip

u economist, dr. i k. hummer says europe's dependence on american energy supplies is risky. this is not only ridiculous, this is, this is totally wrong. and we what change the dependency on a monopoly monopolized on the u. s. l n g with crisis where we are not compatible in the world. so we would have to rely on us liquid natural gas. we not only rely on the most environmental catastrophic energy sauce. we will be not competitive though in lies in the world anymore. so german companies would have to move out. so this is, this is just the hopes that are not too many nations who have the possibility and the ability and the aim to blow out the nostril into my life. especially not in this area. we had a nato pressed this exercise that took place right in this area on 22nd of september where this happened and it was, and we were have see, the don't be, be fish. we're not supposed to be in the about, they see who we, where we know that they are trained by the us army to make some sort of to put some explosives to places where they are let. and we know that the that the us to had with 3 ships. so 45 ships all together was in the major exercise t

big money, power brokers from china, they come to europe, they can come to the u. k. they invest big money and infrastructure businesses and property the moment they go back to beijing, european politicians in the media and almost immediately start to bad mouth. and now we have this news zone of anger going on between e u countries in china, but it's possible hub deal regarding that of the one belt one road initiative. what can you tell us now? well, you think that a big lesson for the european union would have been to not have blindly followed washington strategy, of going not in applying sanctions to everything russian, when europe's economy has won benefited from russian exports in order to compete with the us. but no, apparently the lesson that you picked up instead was that it shouldn't have forged those trade ties with russia in the 1st place, which would have left it far more. rely on the u. s. for resources, rather than on the russian gas to help build germany in particular into an economic and industrial power house. but now europe seems to be doubling down on itself. isolation, hermi

u membership like ukraine and the u. k. returning to the european stage, after breaks it, what we wanted to achieve in meeting here in prague is to bring together $44.00 sovereign states. which see europe as a single entity, whatever the particular forms for political or others to discuss among equals a sovereign states of problems that we face in common. that's exactly what we need . the group has no form of structure and some wonder if many more meetings will follow. so question know whether it's going to work or we have a european union, but not so many countries are members of european union. so the idea is to discuss the combination that we have currently the security issues that we have on the european continent. and i think it's very important that we have the same views, the same views, for example, on how to bring energy prices down. a thing to clear measure studio gas markets, the energy markets ish, that these 40 for leaders are completely aligned or, and have to join tradition to cooperate measures to bring down the gas for action. they may agree on bringing down prices, but so far, no consensus has a merch on how to do this. package is costing hundreds of billions of euros

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 just reading today about how we already year in the u. k. i have 4000000 people using food bank, so food charities that give out food because people are hungry. many, many people are now coming in. please give us food code that you don't have to cook because they're unable even here in october, the beginning of the winter to afford the energy to even cut the free food. it's hard to exaggerate the pain of the but he's, those are hard to exaggerate the profits at the top. you've got an energy industry is making around $3000000000.00 of profit a day. you've got 72 new food and energy 1000000000 is 72 new 1000000000 as a top of the existing in the oil gas and food industry. so, you know, is profits be made enormous when is to in the situation. so something has to give, we need to see guys when it contributes more to helping the paper. anyway, i would do, you don't say that those when as opp, helping to address as wealth and quality when

and businesses should be responsible as well. so this, by reducing that demand, i mean, i think in the u. k. might be one of the few countries in europe that is not requiring people to change their behavior of consumption of electricity. i think i would agree, but let's again, be careful of the tyranny of averages. so we said consumers in the u. k. we're talking about a hugely cool country. so do i think rich consumers should massively reduce that consumption of energy even in normal times to you know, the rich is 1020 percent of every country in europe dominate the use of carbon, the use of energy. and alex, using far, far more carbon than they could if we're going to save the planet. so i think we need to be careful saying that all consumers need to somehow tight their bells. we think of those people, the term in wrenches or combination, one in full life, death from cold in winter here in the u. k. these are very poor people, often elderly. so i don't think we should really be telling them to conserve energy something let's be really specific about who we mean the top in every society, massively over consuming energy in europe about

everything i'm making make a change in europe revealed starts november 3rd, and d, w ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. more political chaos in the u. k. as the prime minister analysis. she's stepping down after just 6 weeks in office list process. she's resigning as leader of the conservative party with several candidates trying to succeed. her could former prime minister boris johnson make a comeback. also on the program, keith tells ukrainians to conserve pass russia steps up. attacks on energy facility with winter approaching, people are being asked to switch off electricity for much of the day. ah, i'm gather as well come to the program. british prime minister liz trusts is resigning after just 6 weeks in office. or announcement comes after a bruising week of you turns on economic and energy policy and a backlash from our own conservative party. a resignation makes her the shortest serving prime minister in british history. after weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity less trust spends forensic speculation on her future by telling the british people that she is stepping down. i cannot deliver the mandate on whic

u. k. nuclear power industry to be run down. we relied on impulse, we get a g from europe and the rest and in other places in the world and stopped developing our own energy infrastructure. and this was done for decades under the government's lead by both the conservative and the labor parties and less trust is at the end of this process. and he didn't harassing a 30 year long mass, which she is trying to turn around and failing to turn around inside 3 months. so this is a generational failure that it lack written, exposed to the fluctuations of international energy markets un, unable to produce. so really, the entire political class for a whole generation is responsible for this catastrophic mess that the british government now finds itself in. and now the downing street is supporting british companies and i bid to drill for oil and gas, and the no think a spine warnings from the green energy sector. why do you think less trust is decided to take such a move? because it's a panic made, basically, she asked to do something to look as if she's in charge of the situation. but as i said, even if these licenses get handed out and eve
