So much people. Here know doctors for. Monday december the 21st. This hour 1st following sanctions on russias nord stream 2 european gas pipeline by the United States foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has spoken out saying theres no doubt the project will be completed. So there will still youths so it will be finished despite all these threats i am convinced that 1st of all the europeans understand their commercial interests in terms of ensuring Long Term Energy security secondly of course they were humiliated and the words we heard from the german side show that our European Partners still have their selfrespect. Nordstrom too is a gas pipeline being built from russia to germany through the baltic sea and over a 1000 kilometers long it will be capable of transferring 55000000 cubic meters of gasping in to supply almost 30000000 households it goes to a lot of reports now on the how europe has defied america to get affordable russian fuel. Washington has weaponized sanctions its official along with spending on nukes the army and cyber ops sanctions are in the u. S. 2020 military budget it started in mission for the year the elimination of one of russias gas our trees into europe currently under construction the United States commands all our European Partners whos taken a strong stand against north stream 2 and we commend the others to do the same germany is totally controlled by russia because they were getting from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from russia and a new player this pipeline if completed. Would make europe even more dependent on Russian Energy we dont want your Energy Supplies to be defended and. To be fair washington has been backed into a corner here its been offering and puffing over the project for years dishing out threats and blackmail but to no avail the threat of sanctions says seen key European Contractor all seize hold its operations nevertheless in an admittedly rare act of disobedience to the u. S. Europe has been on russias side determined to have the pipeline built as a matter of principle the e. U. Opposes the imposition of sanctions against you companies conduct a legitimate Business People is in federal government is against extraterritorial sanctions we dont approve of this practice we oppose especially extraterritorial sanctions that hit german and european companies. Washington has decided that even the closest nato allies dont deserve mercy if the us geo political and commercial ambitions are at stake why while its easy follow the money russia doesnt ask much for its gas and nord stream too will be europes cheapest way of getting the blue fuel and thats in stark contrast to the alternative washington is try. To force feed on its treasured allies across the atlantic shale gas because really there is only one economy that has to be strong uncle sams even at the expense of its nato partners and the made in america stamp may be fancy but the markup for the freedom brand makes the whole affair outright economically stupid for the e. U. Also washingtons been trying to convince brussels that tightening its belt and enjoying a bit extra economic stress is well worth it because its all for a good cause supporting a nother european a friend in need ukraine which had been left out of the pipeline deal to keep working together to stop the nord stream to project that undermines your creates economic and Strategic Security we do not want our european friends to fall prey to the kind of political and economic manipulation russia has attempted in ukraine since it cast off its soviet shackles it would create another tool for the kremlin to use Russias Energy resources to divide europe and undermine stabilize ukraine it was almost like russia listened because hours before sanctions hit north stream 2 construction moscow and kiev shook hands on a gas transit deal so europe all out winds from the pipeline both economically and geopolitically seeing russia and ukraine finally touch base again and this statement by the u. S. Envoy to germany hasnt aged well at all currently there is a lot of talk in germany about doing more for europe and we believe that when it comes to north stream 2 we have taken an extremely pro european position washingtons crocodile tears are not fooling anyone anymore trying to maintain a compassionate face pretending its acting in the best of intentions only to have itself exposed as a super bully rolling out one creative plot after the other or forcing its will on friend and foe alike. Nordstroms spokesperson told me that completing the project is essential for european Energy Security and says the work will be finished as soon as possible he bronson from the alternative for Germany Party and Thomas Fassbender hes a journalist and former businessman both say the United States has once again demonstrated its wish to keep russia in europe away from each other. America doesnt have to be part of every deal that is made on the planet and there are important of course our most important allies are germany by on the other hand they have no problem whatsoever to quote the allies under pressure which is not the sort of an act of friendship that i believe that the americans were hoping that their pressure would work along the way at some earlier point and now they dont they realize that europeans are very firm they want to complete north korean too they want to have the cheaper russian gas delivered to europe and only now are they taking actions because they realize that the game is lost and now theyre putting on sanctions to make it difficult for russia and the europeans to close the deal the u. S. Are interested to all maintain a rift between western europe and russia because they need in the future more than even more than in the present they need. To have close the allies and this highly disciplined drop us drop at lending western europe at their site the interests of the u. S. Is geared it will not work that way because europe is not Strong Enough to or d compete as a power of its own with us china russia but on the other hand is too strong to simply full the u. S. To every where they want to go. Conflict and instability in war ravaged libya is intensifying turkeys pledge to increase its military assistance to the un recognized government of the north african country and course involvement comes as libyan general hafta the head of a rival administration closes in on the capital tripoli since the 2011 uprising the country remains split between different militias and political camps at the root of all this is the fight over africas most abundant oil reserves and as have towers of Libyan National army control of most of the Strategic Oil fields its no surprise that. Countries rushed to strike Oil Deals Amid a tripoli offensive has arties one against the earth. 8 years ago in a matter of a few months nato bombs transformed libya from one of the richest states in africa to a playground for warlords worlds biggest slave market the capital of Human Trafficking having messed things up beyond repair and all recognition the Intervention Team withdrew 8 years later its round 2000. Turkey recently upset almost everyone in the mediterranean when it carved out a good portion of the sea between itself and libya a huge area rich in oil and gas and by libya i mean the un backed government of National Accord one of the governments fighting for control of the country in return for the g. N. A. S. Signature turkey promised them support meaning guns lots of guns there are. 2 key will not turn from the agreement it has reached with libya we are well aware of the intensification of infos to overthrew the legitimate Libyan Government if necessary we will increase the military size of our support and take advantage of all kinds of opportunities on land the sea and their general have effectively leads the other government through his Libyan National army he now controls most of the country most of the oil land hes winning turkey is threatening to deploy soldiers to stop him it accuses egypt the u. A. E. And russia of supporting him. 8 years ago russia and china stood against intervention saying it would lead to chaos for which they were ridiculed it turns out they were right though no one likes to be reminded the russian strategy in libya is extremely responsible it has no geo political dimension and puts libyan interests at the forefront we are not on any side of the conflict. On paper front supports the g n a it is after all the un recognized government theyve said flowery things called for peace hosted fruitless summits that led nowhere so it was strange when the g. N. A. T. Came out an accused fronts of supporting a warlord we are surprised that france does not support our government that is democratic but supports a dictator a few months after those words french weapons were seen in the hands of half stars forces advanced weapons things have become very serious serious enough to jolt an old School Interventionist into action. 8 years ago the United States led the mob the bombed libya into oblivion they cheered and literally laughed when gadhafi was tortured to death by rebels yes we came we sat there and he died there didnt have anything to do with. The laughter stopped when the same rebels that hillary helped murdered the American Ambassador now theyre concerned more so than theyve been for years what changed countless thousands have been butchered in the years since the intervention why speak out now concerned about libya external military intervention threatens prospects for peace United States the bloomers attacks on innocent civilians and calls on all sides to free him from escalation only a political settlement will resolve the conflict oh does it military intervention threaten peace sad irony aside were getting closer to the whole point of this proxy free for all as usual it was trump that said what everyone was thinking the president recognize fieldmarshal have torah significant role in fighting terrorism and securing labors Oil Resources and the 2 discussed a shared vision for transition to a stable Democratic Political system or oil oil or oil is it a coincidence that french weapons turn up at the hands of half hours troops and then suddenly frances total energy giant wins a huge stake in an oil field controlled by half italian any was pumping almost 400000. 00 barrels of oil a day from libya as of last year a country locked in a bloody civil war and theyre making millions american Conoco Phillips owns 16 percent of an oil field. Controlled by half the libyans a slugging it out in a bloody stalemate no one cares but suddenly when the balance of power appears to shift when one side appears to be winning and when things could change and the oil pumps could stop suddenly theyre concerned again in the question is about what lives or barrels a middle east expert adman ghareeb thinks that theres a long way to go if theres ever going to be pace in libya everybody talks about peace the question is. Maybe sometimes its a day even meaning but the question is they want peace at their own terms and thats what makes the situation much more complicated the law of power is overcoming or you know the power of the law. Is unfortunately were seeing it from too many players whether the big powers small powers then you have the conflict over resources that libya is a rich country resources are boiling gas or other materials and of course you. Want to have their own ideologies they want to break sure they were going to hope that their ideology would remember struggle as well so libya becomes like a apply thats being divided among different. To kidnap and torture now permitted for informants working for m i 5 the Domestic Security Service tribunals explain that otherwise it would be impossible for them to maintain a couple if no prosecution authorities made aware when such a case occurs then de facto the informant has been given Carte Blanche to act as they like. Agents and informants are permitted to commit crimes when its in the interest of National Security the new judgment doesnt detail the types of crimes and doubt and doesnt confer absolute immunity the decision comes as Boris Johnsons new government plans to strengthen u. K. Law and bring it into line with the United States the measures are supposed to aid Counter Terror activities as well as n. T. S. B. Knowledge missions former British Intelligence officer and immersion believe the governments doing it to crack down on whistleblowers and activists. I think this new ruling from the invest free powers tribunals does actually implied that m i 5 can pick and choose whether or not to allow any of the agents in the field to getting involved in any sort of crime up to and including murder and torture and kidnapping and this is a very legal gray area and i sized because theyre governed by a parliamentary out called the Security Service act 1909 m i 5 does not have an explicit provision like that under the rules governing it so what this tribunal is trying to establish was how far they could go in justifying what their field agents could do and it still remains a gray area so the reason for this ruling is nothing to do with the what the 5 agents get up to in the field i think this reflects a great concern of the government which is to update difficile secrecy the rules and they are doing this to bring it in line with the american laws which are much more draconian to crackdown on whistleblowers and activists. But also in the u. K. A woman died after waiting 6 hours for an ambulance on a freezing pavement in wales she broke her foot outside her home but the next day she died of a heart attack the argument service explain the delay by saying that its not only the world but the whole National Health system it under pressure. We are sorry that our response took longer than we would have liked on this occasion lengthy waits for an ambulance or a sign of pressures across the whole unscheduled care system not just in wales but across the u. K. The u. K. Health care systems come in from obvious criticism of late without occasions that hospitals are woefully short staffed and under equipped cuts in funding of also lead to long waiting times but the tragic case in wales wasnt the only one recently. We asked people outside a hospital in london about the crisis in the National Health care system. Its been 6 hours just waiting in the hospital just to get a couple stitches on the feeds for my husband last night he had to wait and then when he called he said to always wait and he had to drive himself to the hospital a couple in the next 20 ninths decide. To have it limits your heart never had a prob the saying is. Too much people thats why i do. This is not true it doesnt look like its when you come into the hospital you see the doctors will be looking out for the both what happens is the ambulance people call and leave the patient until. They get seen so i think thats part of easing my. Hair for the. Marching charms if you got a call from a viewer population adding to the existing population every year enjoy not building new offspring youre not building new doctors for agrees cold were turning on l. T. Is going on the ground veteran documentary make a jump describes how a revolving door of special Interest Groups are intent on pushing for the privatization of britains and h s you can watch the full interview on r. T. Dont call. Health care for all on the basis of need not ability to pay thats an enormous and important chain from. Any cases being repurposed from a Lovely Service to something for profit extraction. Unknown to most of the public. Around the halls of parliament. The offices of so called think tanks lobbyists and professional propagandists all of them with one target the National Health service theyre actually clustered around the department of health and theres a revolving door between them and parliament and the department of health. But they they they use they have a cabaret. Is is a deceitful one they use words like reform. Partnership. None of these positive terms. Have any real meaning anymore what they may buy reform is is privatizing and destroying. But they would deny that but theyve created this extraordinary for cabaret as theyve created their own persona of a hope of legitimacy. Because they have so many now people within parliament and so many people from the private Healthcare Industry in little apartment and the problem of health they feel they can get away with this this is brought to get out this is modern corporatism it how it works its its its greatest and least understood weapon is propaganda. Or the german Auto Industry apparently in crisis even major manufacturing regions are having to rethink their future they know that the german car maker that owns Mercedes Benz is warning that one region in the country should not rely on the industry anymore. It is clear that bardhan ver timberg would certainly be well advised not to rely solely on the Automotive Industry for the next 100 years in terms of prosperity and industrial added value. A major Automobile Companies like volkswagen Mercedes Benz an audi have announced huge job cuts in the near future some 70000 jobs are at risk with experts calling it the biggest crisis since the invention of the automobile the of evil comes as firm shift to electric Vehicle Technology as evangelists as explained. With the new year just around the corner many people would like to leave behind 2019 and look into a new start for some germans that would in the out all industry hopes of a prosperous and positive 2019 will be dashed with unemployment and our surfing the internet for a new job the reason topped out all manufacturers in the country will be cutting jobs starting the new year the Companies Made the announcement last month saying they will reduce the number of employees in the next they kick starting in 2020 the move has been described as the biggest crisis since the invention of the eligible deal were sadies benz will be. 10000. 00 jobs worldwide but the most significant one is audi it will be slashing 10 percent of its workforce world wide that means one and every 6 german workers will be losing their jobs audi must become lean and fit for the future which means that some job profiles will no longer be needed and new ones will be created and old but in the name of the new e. U. Green policy which aims to ensure that european citizens will stop using anything that contributes to c o 2 emissions transport should become dressed to kill less polluting especially in cities a combination of measures should address the missions congestion and improved public transport the green shift in europe is encouraging manufacturers to provide more electric engines and audi is doing exactly that but a needs to find the money and what better way and cutting jobs but with all the advantages that come with electric engines critics say that there are many obstacles in the way of becoming sealed to neutral no in. The electric engine is not environmentally friendly mainly because of the batteries which require a rig minerals and have a high mining cost to the. The transition to electric engines will not happen we cannot give up on the internal Combustion Engine it looks like the old image of industry builds those electric coast to fill a year requirements to decrease c o 2 emissions of their entire income flate the only known way right now to decrease pollution is to have a Diesel Engine with more efficient performance and less exhaust gases there is room for improvement over the traditional engine and that should be our goal to meet their target in developing electric engines out all makers plans to reduce the cost and firing employees worldwide not only the traditional manufacturing positions but management as well the Development Tools c o 2. 00 neutral mobility rick was large investments part of this program is to reduce stuff costs by around 1400000000 euros by the end of 2022 sure the shift to greenfield calls will create new positions but what it be enough to cover those that are cuts out the shift to election mobility will create 2000 new jobs lot bad but in order to create those jobs there are cutting 9500. 00 others it is unclear where the shift towards green energy will be as profitable as the out all industry once was but politicians and companies are trying to reassure the public that the changes are for the best but damage is done for many germans this Holiday Season will not be the same if we have a crash in the car industry i mean German Economy as a whole will crumble thats the situation but all those climate paranoia not only impacting the car industry also other Industries Industries we try heavy relying on energy our heavy damage and of course there relocate their facilities in other countries where energy is more cheaper and they dont have as much any as much as such air regulations theres come completely. Realistic policies i mean there is no logic in it its just parroting the German Government is trying. To rescue the rolled just a National Effort thats ridiculous you cannot rescue to rolled with one percent of the worlds population thats ridiculous and thats how it looks from moscow so far this monday morning thanks for watching your next hour to International Update is in just over half an hour from now to see them. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Somehow wanted. To go right to the press but what about for 3 of them all cant be good. Im interested always in the waters about how. This should. Visit this is a stick from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers theyre the bad ones theyre the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste become but he has long promised to reuse the plastic.

Hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered im Peter Lavelle but democrats in their ply and friends in the Corporate Media clamor to have trump and peach from a. Its now they are determined to slow walk it a Winning Strategy and the dangers of historical revisionism. Talking some real news im joined by my guest here in moscow Dimitri Bobbitt shes a political analyst and editor at me internet media project and in nicosia we crossed alex course before oh he is the director and writer for the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate let me go to alex nicosia well it is the holiday time and st nick hopefully ill be visiting your home i have a question for you alex is that nancy pelosi been nadi or nice because i think her stocking at the end the end of the day is going to end up pretty empty or maybe just a rock go ahead alex.
