Welcome to the program an escalating diplomatic row has stepped up another level russia has expelled 2 german diplomats that comes in response to a similar move by berlin all amid a spat over a murder probe a quarter picks up the story. The Russian Foreign minister has given the diplomats and question 7 days to leave the country in a tit for tat response to the German Governments decision when they themselves decided to expel 2 Russian Diplomats the german in boston has received a note of protest over the ground was decision to explode to Russian Diplomats from berlin as a mere response to german diplomats must leave russia within the next 7 days now it was just last week that the German Government made this decision to expel 2 Russian Diplomats for the cut from the country and the official report said that russia was not being active enough in cooperating within vesta geisha into the murder of a Georgian National named still in can congress feeley now the german prosecutors even say that russia moscow may have ordered the murder itself but russia denies these claims and even warned that there would be a mere response the federal Foreign Office today declared to employees of the Russian Embassy in berlin to be persona nongrata with this step the federal government reacts the fight to the russian authorities despite repeated high level and in fact requests did no sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k. K. In berlin zoo you could use the unit its incorrect to expel 2 Russian Diplomats who had nothing to do the mood im assured reciprocal measures which is you will move there are unwritten rules if you expel our diplomats we expel ules thats that russia now president putin has said that russia has asked for the extradition of Congress Really many times which the German Government is now saying never happened but to bring our viewers up to speed Congress Really was killed back in august and the media immediately blamed russia for this he was living in germany since 2017 and had connections not only had ties to chechen terrorists but also fought against russia in the 2nd chechen war so its not hard to imagine why there. Russian government would be interested in arresting him on charges of terrorism. The man who was killed in berlin was not your average georgian he was a militant he fought on behalf of the caucasian separatists he was on russias wanted list he was a very cruel man once he killed 98 people but the he was one of the organizers of bombings in the moscow metro i dont know what happened to him its a criminal sphere anything can happen there. So again moscow has always expressed its willingness to cooperate in this investigation but the initial expulsion of Russian Diplomats on germanys part doesnt exactly mark good faith from berlin. These antimissile i from germanys last party feels the whole situation is connected to nato author and russia analyst Mike Mccauley believes berlin would have been expecting musk response to diplomatic ordered you if you expelled 2 Russian Diplomats from berlin. Realized straight away that 2 german diplomats would be expelled from moscow and declared persona non grata but standard diplomatic procedure so therefore. The russian the German Foreign ministry is in fact making a statement which everyone knows is not in fact exact what were seeing now is just the prieto change to the year 2020 with the big major exercise defender 2020 and. The general population does not want to see thousands of u. S. Troops swarming through germany with tanks and full on battle moat. So there is many people who believe that all the public and press accusations against russia only serve to prepare the population for this aggressive nature maneuver and 2020. A u. S. Senate committee has approved a bill directing the countrys secretary of state to determine whether russia is a sponsor of terrorism russias foreign minister slammed this initiative as irrational if passed the state department will have 90 days to report back to congress asunder tabled the bill is convinced russia backs terrorism let them report and continues to try to cause grievous harm to International Peace and stability and im pleased the Senate ForeignRelations Committee advanced my critical legislation directing the state department to consider naming russia what they are a state sponsor of terror the proposed legislation will have to pass the house and the senate before being signed by the president just a week ago the state Department Said that russia is not a state terror sponsor up and looks at the mixed messages. State sponsor of terrorism is a special designation under u. S. Law in which a country is subject to specific sanctions and treatment by the United States for allegedly supporting terrorism now the countries that currently have this label are iran north korea syria and sudan cuba had this label until u. S. President barack obama lifted that label against cuba as part of negotiations that took place during his presidency now the allegation seems to be that russia supports terrorism and is worthy of this state department designation however weve heard testimony from members of the u. S. State department making clear that russia does not support terrorists the state department has not at this stage determined russia is a state sponsor of terrorism there is a fairly complex deliberative process for doing that and i dont personally see the person as state sponsorship of terrorism terrorist attacks we also have to recognize russia is itself has been a victim of terrorism to make it safe to say that on the record as well now russia has long battled against jihadism extremists that have carried out terrorist attacks against the russian people the russian government has also cooperated with the u. S. Government in antiterrorism efforts the advancing of this bill comes in the immediate aftermath of the very important meeting between Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and us President Donald Trump now at his press remarks following that meeting the Russian Foreign minister emphasized that there are certain forces in the United States working very hard to do rail relations between the 2 countries. Congress seems to have been captured by a desire to destroy Us Russian Relations now relations between the u. S. And russia have been sour as it is and when u. S. President donald trump met with the Russian Foreign minister and took a photograph together there was quite a reaction from those who oppose it are critical of President Donald Trump trump is meeting with russias foreign minister in the oval office again on this hes invited in im always. It sounds last time they laughed about troops firing of komi today they can celebrate the success of russian propaganda regen wouldnt recognize this g. O. P. Trump lover of meeting in private this often what conspiracy are they cooking up today among the topics discussed at this high level russia u. S. Meeting where the issues of arms control Nuclear Proliferation as well as the issue of terrorism and it seems that in the aftermath of the meeting some efforts are now taking place to undo whatever progress was made earlier rasmussen executive director of the Eurasia Center things that russia has done more to combat terrorism than the u. S. I am shocked i think this is going in the complete opposite direction the president. Would like to go in. I think europe is also would like to be mending and rebuilding the tied to russia i dont understand how the senate even comes up with this idea i mean if you look at terrorism russia is probably doing more to fight terrorism than the us i mean its clear that whether its intentional or not us funding us weapons us training have gone to just an example moderate rebel which one they are supposedly moderate and then the next day there i think russia is a state sponsored i mean these people are off in some other world and theyre not in not in reality. I feel very barest. Apologize you know for myself russia for the going through it i just believe we shocked that somebody would actually propose. Time magazine has unveiled its choice for person of the year 16 year old climate activist going to Tunbridge Wells some view her as a model of determination and praise her efforts to combat Climate Change others find her approach unscientific and accuse her of stealing worldwide panic arties Daniel Hawkins looks into the tun bark phenomenon. Last year she was just the regular swedish schoolgirl 12 months on and shes times person of the year ready as a discussion on Climate Change today take place without her name being mentioned. Has become a global sensation not just a prominent figure among climate activists but almost a messianic symbol she pulls no punches in schooling politicians about what they must do to save the planet the real danger is when politicians and c. E. O. s on making it look like real action is happening when in fact almost nothing is being done a partial clever accounting and creative p. R. She certainly the. I have a point but what about the growth of film bug phenomenon itself its on the noise quickly and loudly drawn attention to Climate Change shes got people talking and even been credited with influencing european and National Elections but wants more than just talking she wants action from politicians or the critics question what useful action grettir inspired movements have actually taken from strikes and protests which she herself says are unsustainable but we cant go on like this it is not Sustainable Solutions that children skip school we cant go on like that so we dont want to continue so we would we would love some action from the people in power her speech is resonated across the world it wasnt long before her fiery indictment of World Leaders at the un Assembly Became a meme now they followed a clear structure grave danger bad government and a need for immediate action she soon became a target for opponents who said her ideas it lacks substance and slated her style but that was quickly knocked on the head criticism was often swiftly silenced with those critiquing her justifiably or not labeled as massage honest hysterical or being triggered the climate hysteria movement is not about science if it were about science it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and the mentally ill swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international where you. Markku knows of daily why just call get a phone by get a mentally ill swedish child she is mad and dangerous and she is causing the Young Children sleepless noise to move the juicy gossip shes a she needs to go to school and show that i was in acid aided by this school girl starting this. For Climate Change awareness and i thought wow thats pretty gutsy it was all a little melodramatic it was all in the world of pocalypse i dont want millions if not billions of young people watching great to do that kind of speech and genuinely think the planet is literally about the way she is daring to express what so many young people are feeling and actually i find it remarkable that she can speak in such an honest way its truth to cow thing is he speaking some of her actions a ridiculed like her transatlantic boat trip having sailed through storms to avoid Carbon Emissions from air travel she sailed into a storm of criticism when a fellow companions joined her flying in by plane not to mention the impracticality of adopting such measures on a wider scale this brings us back to growth as words about politicians creative p. R. World leaders from merkel to micron among others were happy to humor the latest global trend with a photo opportunity while rebuking some of our ideas so what does this leave the person of the year at 2019 which is certainly sent a message taken center stage and brought people into the streets with a call it is now time for civil disobedience its time to rebel but will this have the desired effect the only thing you want to see is real action and reaction has not been happening so of course we have to see. A lot but. If you look at it from. Far from a certain point of view we have achieved nothing like her all over she has created a stir it may be difficult to understand the method behind a person of the year awards one of good as runner ups was donald trump maybe we can agree to hope that this years award isnt just symbolic. Isnt Just Creative p. R. But will lead to the real change the grosser seeks to create. Well it looks like her message is hitting home at least in the e. U. Which has just unveiled its new European Green deal thats left in the block of disgruntled over you that story and more after the break. Each simulating civilization would be able to run using a tiny fraction of its resources. Hundreds of thousands millions of runs through all of Human History almost all. Beings without kinds of experiences with them to simulated ones rather than simulated ones and conditional on that arguably shooting fearful that one of the simulated ones. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and she. Wanted. To go right to be close this is like the 43. 00 of the more people. Interested in the waters of. The ship. Welcome back the commission has unveiled new plans to make europe the 1st climate neutral continent under the European Green deal emissions will be house by 2038 with Carbon Neutrality to be achieved by 2050 but the deal has already faced criticism from bloc members bondal subsidence looks at why. There is no bigger challenge than saving the planet and europe wants to lead the way the new e. U. Commission leader wonderly in has proposed a new green deal aiming to make the continent climate neutral by 2050 the European Green deal is our new Growth Strategy for growth that gives back more than it takes away we will help our economy to be a Global Leader by moving 1st and moving fast by showing the rest of the world how to be sustainable in competitive we can convince other countries to move with us via bishan are there but making it happen is not going to be easy the plans were choir a revamp of almost every sector transport farming manufacturing power plants and many countries already pushing back on the day it was introduced one 3rd of the countrys bloc the finance underpinning the new green deal so for euro skeptics this might look like it another example of brussels making plans before getting the Member States on board most governments support the general direction of the new green deal but the trade off between saving the planet and protecting jobs is not going to be easy for the politicians electricity is a key factor in cutting emissions and us things then in europe most of it comes from either Nuclear Power or fossil fuels the Nuclear Power sector employs more than 1000000 people in the u. N. Another half a 1000000 people work in the coal industry so thats a lot of jobs that are at stake and france the continents biggest Nuclear Power producers are now questioning why that sector should be excluded from the Green Financing we cannot succeed in the ecological transition and we cannot achieve a goal in terms of combating Global Warming without Nuclear Energy meanwhile the renewable turn it is are not always popular look at germanys wind power sector. Turbine installation or a slowdown due to legal disputes long delays and planning permission and alarm over a number of birds being killed by the blades if you Commission Leader of underlayer and calls her new green deal a quote man on the moon moments this is europes man on the moon moment but from down here on the ground you can see its going to be a long and difficult journey eventually. For our. Political commentators on bricmont says the belt will never be implemented. Sobel keen enough resources like wind and solar wind damage dent in their g. So where do you do at night when there is no wind then you know there is a whole a problem go back to that tens of problem in europe theyre never going to agree these sorts of measures dont change anything and i think its going to be there everywhere you see you must understand that these are commies. At the European Union they didnt 2001 of something the other plan to make you l
