u. k. whether office work from home, some of the time and may have underestimated the cold weather event. or maybe the u . k. government just underestimated how much it would ultimately deregulate its own energy supply. went white, gung ho. i'm anti russian energy sanctions. italian workers and pensioners in rome, came out in opposition to the maloney governments 2023 budget, demanding that it do more to offset the cost of living crisis there. this budget will not bring any good to the italian economy. it will slowly lead us to economic ruin in the bankruptcy of our nation. we've got, we are on the streets to protest against the government budget, which from our point of view does not protect the weakest groups. it proposes measures in favor of a few and not for the people who need it most. more than $15000.00 belgian union workers protested in brussels on friday, demanding higher wages to offset the cost of energy and inflation. we receive wages that are fixed at a certain level and with the rise

u. k. charities to help the vulnerable whether rocketing energy prices. ah, is a look at the international weather thanks so much for stopping by so still cool air toward the se, mixed them with some showers, but your fortunes will be changing the same time or dialing. temperature is up for western australia. look at marble bar 46 degrees past few days. the temperature has been above 45, and certainly we could hit a 48 degrees by the way, painted the colors on dark with the red, the higher the temperature. see those high temperature through the outback and things are starting to bounce back toward the southeast by the tail end of the weekend. other side of the tasman right now we got this system winding up so it's throwing rain and wind mostly to the south island on friday and for the south pacific right now it's our usual scattering of showers in storms in the sewn next stop indonesia wave of rain is going to brush up against what's java province. so some big downpours and forecasts there on friday. now, for indo china, we'll see most of that energy has

u. k. dependence on russian energy exports has been comparatively low. last year just 4 percent of gas was imported. the major portion of the u. k. supply coming from norway, international petroleum economist john foster question whether the new deal will be able to lower prices. what they okay. united states say is that in this announcement is that they will work together to what they say to increase energy security and drive down prices. in my view, that's meaningless. it's a hollow promise. they, us, administration, the people of washington do not regulate the prices for over to the other commercial terms, which the energy exports are made by private companies in the united states. i cannot see how this other deal will help you. ok, consumers for start with energy bills when i see about they talk about the n g u and europe needed expansion of gas from the u. s. europe is getting the shock treatment, moving from low cost russian gas supplied on the invite, the long term dependable contracts to high cost imported at n g, from wherever, particularly from the united states. and meanwhile, europe faces an energy crisis. it faces economic disaster. seeing how the winter moves moves along for it. the u. s. u k initiative

thousands of keys, triple ready, being prepared in nato countries with make whether ukrainian military prison obviously is u. k. military training, didn't do him any good who see that there? it's a funny thing like for 2 days they taught us how to hold the weapon. did you use any of the skills that you learned in england or at least try, you know.

u. k. really high profile example . work is fighting back whether it be intend to industrial action such as the royal male or trained strive barracks to be been involved in industrial disputes. but alongside that, what we've got all the things that you mentioned before, the quiet quick thing and the great resignation. and people are really thinking casually about that job roles and instruction was to have with work. and all of these things highlights the type of resistance in the changing rhetoric in the power between work and organizations, and work with forces and employee. employees have to respond that poor pe stress now manageable work close that set and re game that relationship between organizations in the workforce and historical women have always like behind men, have ne, when it's come to pay all progressing, their careers is this new generation of women in the workplace, changing related to switching jobs to the highest rates and, and, and right. and women are looking at different ways in which they can get meaning from their work. but i

but whether people were going to get that care, even if it was life threatening, really depended on where you were in the u. k. because different ambulance trusts had had different provisions to how they were going to make things work today. and what category and emergency was in would then affect whether you would actually get seen today. and i think there were 200 ambulances on the streets of london today. for example, when there would usually be $450.00. and i think that is worrying, and that is a concern to people. and even when it's a normal strike day, people are having to wait incredibly long time, sometimes over a day for an ambulance to come and see them. and if these strikes do go on, regardless of who you think is to blame, it could really put a lot of lives in danger. yeah. these are, of course not. the only strikes hitting the u. k. at the moment, right. the strikes will have trains, buses, male, and that's only naming a few. how big is the pressure on richie soon august government right now. i think he's facing a lot of pressure. there's a lot of disgruntlement, obviously everyone in the country

u. k. a bit of something which is absolutely enormous. what's really at stake here is whether the government in this country and elsewhere around the world actually takes the action that needs to be taken. now to tackle climate change, we talk about met 02050, but to bring about met 0 in 2050 things have to have a mouth that the hearing last 2 days. it could be months before the judge reaches his decision. ah, cases and wait, citizens home, those in power to account and becoming more common as the climate crisis worsens. and increasingly, out of his frustrated by political and corporate inaction, attorney to the colds to force change by using existing laws in novel ways to compel the wise to polluters to reduce emissions. it's an idea that took off here in the netherlands. i come to amsterdam to meet marianne min asthmatic and she runs the agenda foundation, which aims to help the transition to a sustainable society. this is, this is very go and professor the couple here. yeah. okay. for linds. hey, local a scifi and hugo have recently made their apartment carbon neutral with

u. k. with dry january and campaigns like this one. researchers at the university of south things have been studying whether it's really effective ah, the participants did actually sleep better. generally had more energy. their skin was better, and they loss weight dimension for am performance fire. when people go without alcohol for a couple of weeks, they definitely lose weights because they saved the calories under. and we all know when you drink alcohol, you get hungry at some point when who you want to have a snack? you go to the refrigerator again, it turned on that drops off when you're absent him for awhile soon, and leave him abstinence from alcohol, even for a brief period, generally leads to a healthier fitter body. for alcohol, research or helmet designs that make sense because alcohol is a poison. i wound up clunky. there are 200 diseases that are caused by alcohol use lately. shift for that in itself is really fascinating. good. but, but on the other hand, what's surprising is that when you stop drinking many organs can regenerate themselves akin lillian could. from the 1st sim, alcohol puts demands on the body. in the sto

are now whether that will be acceptable to the nurses union is another matter. critics say the recent government have not invested enough in the health care system in the u. k. and in general and infrastructure, do you subscribe to that view as well? well, i think if you look at the money that's gone into the and i just, i mean vast amounts of money have gone into the nature, but it doesn't seem to deliver what people want. even before the strikes, you know, we've had tiles of waiting lists have been getting longer and longer and longer. you know, you have to wait hours and hours for an ambulance and then sometimes ambulance is here in for like 12 hours to actually discharge patients. i get the much admitted into a hospital so they can go on their next job. so i think you need to look at the overall system here. and i mean, one of the things that people don't send for many, many years is that there's no actual link between health and social care. so the problem is you've got people actually blocking up hospital beds that could be discharged into a sort of residential setting that might be going back. hi, warner can home but, but that is not happening. so i

courts have never had to determine whether or not a mere committee determination could play that same role a 1000 board, the force workers are on strike across the u. k. they've down tools a few days after ambulance drivers. nurses took similar action for the full staff are demanding a 10 percent pay increase. inflation in the u. k is currently at 10.7 percent coal brennan has more from london heathrow airport. the broader force officers who over walking out over 80 days over this christmas period are the people who essentially check your passports when you arrive in the u. k. at arrivals. and here at he throw the number of flights i were talking about somewhere in the region of $900000.00 passengers would be arriving at heathrow during that period. in total, it's been estimated that some nearly $9000.00 flights at all the airports that are affected over this 8 day period. and that would amount to around $1700000.00 passengers. who will find that when they do land, they're facing big cues to actually get out through arrival, through passport control and that towards the baggage reclaim. it's just the latest in a series of strikes in private and publi

so whether we're willing to compromise and engage in any sorts of talks, i live live co. thank you very much indeed. so i here in the u. k. tens of thousands of ambulance workers, a striking overpaid dispute. the public has been told to take extra care and the armed forces were called in to help with emergencies and follow strong action on tuesday when almost a 100000 nurses walked off the job for the 2nd time this month turned her reports from london. ambulance workers have joined a long list of public sector strike driven to industrial action because of low pay in the face of a crippling cost of living crisis. in this sector, perhaps more than most low pay as life consequences. it's not just a p. p is one of the reasons why the services such as the, because the government hasn't been based properly in the workforce and people are leaving in the rules. and it's one of these cumulative things. p isn't good. people leave, it means those who are left behind are under even more precious and too often the ultimate prices paid by patients. according to n, h s. england, the number of patients who died while being transferred t

u. k. a proposal. the 2nd sir took place not so long ago in poland. and it also shows how the so called honest brokers ah, governing a ruling they spend european organization. and as for whether we're cut from the european diplomacy 1st, we need to use so deal with the following excusable mark. whether there is still such a kind or such thing as the european diplomacy. and if that is the case, then what is it so far? we hear statements from the european diplomats ballroom and the spirit of joseph burrell, one for instance, what you hear a bit of a from day one of the special military operations, or just simply tells tie it tells us time and again as a mantra that these conflicts should and so for the picture of ukraine on the battlefield, and that is what i was saying a lot about certainly european diplomacy at the beginning of mind to dr. remarks. i made another quarter fur rel, micron announced reduced the establishment of the new political european community. and he said that russia and bellows are not invited. and after that were bell and madame burbock virtually flew declared another. and you go to build the european security of not russia, but against russia. if you und

whether to exit the recommendation or loss . it's not an independent body. we believe the government in the u. k. book is england and have discussions and talk just like the government in wales and install and did that with deal. they don't have a favorite buildings on often negotiations and accepted that you know that the stuff in the getting the book is government. so public discussion, the meaning for discussion can be had and we can strike action as long as we can act as discussion at the moment, the gum refusing talk, those discussions, outdoor for discussions and talking, always remain so. but what do you say to those who don't agree with the strike action and say that there, this is actually putting people's lives at risk? well, the want to strike is very and relevant to the wrong thing that we do have the right to strike that we don't think that we will be putting as many lots at risk because we'll have continued seeing cover, or engines in place locally in the places where we think we've taken national actually gone and put in people's lives that really risk. and then british heart foun
