a 3rd day. ah, wednesday evening at 9 here in moscow. my name is colin bray. welcome to wealthiest from sea international 1st for you, then developments in that route between the u. s. and france. as the new anglo american australia insecurity deal takes a new twist. now, the french defense ministry saying that nato partners of agreed to rethink the strategic crux of the alliance. the reason for nato's existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind the united states off. therefore, our partners decided on our initiative as well as on the initiative of germany to revise the strategic concept of the alliance. being allies does not mean being hostage to the interests of another country. there's been interesting developments in the worsening relations with france and the united states, the u. k. and australia over the new security pact will recall how boris johnson recently said that france needs to quote, get a grip. i just think it's time for some of our dearest friends around the world to pony our grip about all this, i don't wanna break because this is fundamentally a, a great step forward for global security. it's 3 very like minded allies, standing shoulder to shoulder, creating a new partnership for the sharing of, of technology. it is not exclusive, i did not trying to, to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china. now, the spat between france and the united states took an interesting turn when joe biden spoke to the un general assembly. and following that, the pre recorded address that was scheduled from french present, micron was cancelled. the french president will not be addressing the un general assembly. that'll be the 1st time that the french president has not addressed the u . n. g, a since 2005. we also understand that the french minister of defense that she canceled her meeting with her british counterpart, we now understand the latest news seems to be that there has been a phone call that took place between joe biden and french president mc crohn in that phone call they exchanged concerns and they intends to try and improve relations. there's going to be a meeting at the end of october between the 2 leaders aimed at improving things and moving ahead. what the falling out seems to be rather intense. now the issue at hand is the fact that the united states put together the office pact, australia, the united kingdom and the united states have entered this security pack and that canceled a very lucrative deal on the part of france to supply australia with diesel electric submarines that canceled it cost a lot of money for france. quite interesting that as we see the united states fighting with countries around the world, we see the united states having a worsening relationship with china. and now a worsening relationship with france that joe biden, when he spoke to the un general assembly, he talked about a new era of global cooperation. all of the major powers of the world have a duty in my view to carefully manage their relationships. so we do not chip from responsible competition to conflict. we are not seeking a new cold war or world wide it. in the rigid blocks, the united states is ready to work with any nation will stand up for our allies and our friends and oppose attempts by stronger countries dominate weaker ones. so if the nato alliance is up for being revised, that begs the question of what other alliances and what other concepts and u. s. foreign policy might also be up for being revised a lot of interesting turns here. many developments that we're not widely expected life now to political analysts, chris boundary. good to see you again, chris. what do you make as francis called to change nice. and even if we overlooked this might be sour, grapes talking. what exactly might they want? i think they're told by the fact that this new trillion is very clearly i know what you build up in the pacific nuclear submarines which banks what the rates are going to be on way clearly aimed at china. and i think france and germany got cold feet over this. but at the same time we have to remember some becky, now they have gone along with the 2 expansion and the former soviet union states. and circling russia. building. i have a presence in the court. the caucuses and now swale. so i need to expansion in eastern europe as well. so it's rather late in the day to suddenly wake up to the fire. the nato has rather changed the organization concerned with protecting western europe in the north atlantic, as it was in the cold post. 945 cold war dorothy long gone. and it also how much is important. france isn't this. that, for instance, employ a status in europe which have got military capacity of any real fe that's friends in britain and france and britain have been strictly close the united states. however, when push comes to shove it, as we've seen with this new new deal with a strip and the nuclear submarines, britain is always a little bit more trusty, always a little bit more special. i don't exaggerate the special relationship based for the choice to france and britain, i think because it always take the bris. so there's a limit to how far friends can persist. clearly very, very annoying about australia deal with by the diesel submarines and they're going in with britain and america to get new cars. some reason restoration in the cold war develop which train but they are clue a night, but there's limits. i possibly can push it. and germany is a week our in the sense, the new german government to commit to building sorts military resources which can be compatible with, with friends of britain, just not on the agenda. and normally expecting german german many of said the night hasn't been fit for purpose for a while. how might this route cause a revamp of nato? give it some sort of purpose for the 21st century. well, i don't see any stability. firstly, the americans called the to the americans of been demanding that they need to members increase in defense spending. these 2 members increasingly hold the state of the technology, but also as a nation was founded as a cold war warrior. that was his purpose, faith for the soviet union to defend western europe, to defend north, the arctic class, the soviet union. israel was increasingly being engaged in the former soviet countries, former eastern european countries, and france and germany have gone along with that. well, i don't see there's any possibility of really the vamping, i need to pull you out of the call cuz he's pulling out of eastern european out of former soviet states. that is just not on the agenda. goodness, i polo chris. most europeans believe america is in a new cold war at the moment with russia and china. so if you are one of those people to take that box or paranoid politician in the us or europe, presumably you need a north atlantic alliance as much as they need a new north pacific one. well, i think you're touching this. i'm very interesting when we saw this one today is america installed new nuclear weapons in western europe. that was quite popular opposition to that in europe. and i think most europeans understand the need, so it's no longer by defense mechanism for western europe. it's an aggressive, being an aggressive was deemed russia and there is very clearly new called war going on this position to provide nuclear submarines really. and i repeat the question, what are some reason that we just weapons and carry, but he's a 100 killer suffering really supposed to be hunting and killing. this is in the context of that growing, not just cold, love a great compet. and so trying to see if over china and the one on america, taiwan, japan would be on the other hand, it's a very interesting and i think people in the western western european watching this . and i think you're right. i think there's going to be a growing opposition offense to drive into 111 more american military adventure, given what happened. it was done given what's happened in iraq and the serial mountain. there are a few bridge thinking, what are we being dragged into now or for now political as chris bambridge. thanks for joining us on our feet. meanwhile, the taliban has appointed an african delegate to the united nations even though the u. n. still has one in place from the previous administration. the movement says it's alerted the body secretary general of the change, but i guess the reports from cobble the united nations now faces an incredibly difficult decision because any choice that they make is wrong with political risk. the argument essentially is sent to the person that is the un representative of, of getting started. school has no credibility because the person who appointed him, the former president of a kind of thought fled the country resigned and his government collapsed. he is no longer recognized as the legitimate president of, of got to started. any appointment that he made is now null and void. nevertheless, recognizing the taliban now might send all the messages because the international community had come together in their appeal to the taliban to make any government. 3 that they formed that they announced to be inclusive, the taliban chose to chose to ignore those appeals. the gun that they announced was packed with terror released individuals in hard line islamist. no women in it, hardly any representatives of minorities. there is also the fact that if the, if the taliban is representative, is announced to quickly, barely a month since they took over again to start. it may send the wrong message to the other millicent, fractions of the world. but if you take over a country with violence law, violence offensive that international recognition is sure to follow, which is something perhaps that the un and its members, they don't want a message. they don't want to send out that there is also the flip side that refusing to engage with the tyler bugs will side live the taliban from international markets, from international politics, international funding, as well as humanitarian assistance. it may force them to continue with exporting hair with and opium. and with the majority of which worldwide as a source here in a kind of stop. it may also encourage taliban to go back on its promises to the international community to make sure that no terrorist make of guidance on their home. again, they may allow our car to back in. they may radicalize even further, but it may also work in the humanitarian situation here. and if got to stop, because if no one talks to the type of items would be incredibly difficult to organize, humanitarian assistance, which is desperately needed here. and i've got to stop as for which way or when the united nations will decide, well, they have a special committee, the credentials committee, which, which decides on the sorts of disputes it is made up of russia, china, the united states, sweden as well as 5 other nations it is doubtful whether they'll meet before the 27th of september when the afghan representative is supposed to speak before the us . usually they, they put the they put the decision to the un general assembly for a public vote on the issue. but we will have to wait and see where the person speaking for a dentist on will be the relic of the past regime with, with little influence on the affairs or in a guest on, on the ground or whether it will be a taliban representative. the representative of a movement that is still considered a terrorist organization. by many countries in the world are med record, e u energy prices and a heavy dependence on unreliable renewables. poland shocked at brussels, and i wants to find it for using unclean coal. the blog is slapping a big half a 1000000 euro penalty for every day that a coal mine the check bought. it continues to operate, however, was so says it's simply $1.00 pay the court of justice of the european union demands half a 1000000 daily fines from poland for the fact that poland did not leave its citizens without energy and did not close the mines overnight. it is judicial robbery and slept in broad daylight. you will get a sent. the find comes after 4 months of also ignoring orders to hold the tour of coal mine. poland dog is the closing. the facility threatens the countries energy security and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs ah and daytime ag lawmakers are blaming moscow for the crisis, claiming the gas problem isn't pumping enough gas. but the russian energy produces says that has nothing to do with it and everything to do with the block that stockpiles of the fuel run out. the criminal spokes personnel that rushes huge north stream to gas pipeline to europe will actually slash prices. when economist and political commentator told us that the whole situation exposes you, hypocrisy. this is absolutely a thing of brush up all we have because i guess from was sending more gas to germany than ever last. it is now or shows now that it is deli needed and we don't know these things. definitely the, the problems are made in with, in europe and are not from the outside. i think this is the, the arrogance and the hypocrisy of the european bureaucrats. they don't care what it's the needs of countries. they are, they get their, their salary any way. they seem to be an indifferent universe and we see all over in every park. they are putting their fingers in every part they try to regulate. we have the same problems with the european bureaucrats. the supply crisis has driven up gas prices by 280 percent already this year. he, you governments from france to italy and spain struggling to get enough energy to consumers with madrid now promising emergency action. it's finding themselves say the situation is critical, but they don't expect much help from the latest way. most americans, teresa tan, federal prices have gone up a lot. i spent about 300. you were a month from federal and another $200.00 tricity, which is half of my salary. our budget is reduced, so we have to make our backs. we'll have to go without air conditioning in summer and heat in winter. i don't expect any support at all. we should be able to afford some solar panels to help ourselves because we don't expect any help from the government. we have not been able to pay the bills. we have had to raise a large part of our prices. what has affected our customers directly? if the price continues to go up, we would be obliged to speak with the owner of the promises can reach an agreement that will lower our rental info, and this is a last resort we'll have to close down. meanwhile, energy bills in the small eastern european state and mold over so high the some people are seeking refuge in germany before the onset of winter. his all europe correspondent refugee censor just behind me here. and lena, seen a sharp increase in the number of people coming to it from all over the effect of the coven, 19 con demik, in that country, along with a big rise in energy bill, due to increases in the wholesale gas prices of made conditions in that country on livable, i spoke to a group of people who come here from mold over. they explained the situation. some of them didn't want to have their faces seen on camera. so the winter is coming soon. it's cold there, there's nothing there. so we came here to eat and so on and we'll deal with the food is expensive, the electricity is expensive, the gas is expensive, the water is expensive and the taxes are rising everywhere. moldova, there is a quarantine life is bad here, there are a lot of illnesses. we have problems with gas, with water, with food. it is unlikely that the people ice like they will be granted asylum in germany as well. dover is on the list of countries that the government here in berlin says our safe and free. however, while their applications, the process which can take around a year, they will receive a place to stay and money for food, which can be as high as $800.00 euros per month for a family of 3. an average salary and mold over only stretches to around $450.00 euros per month, physicians in germany, a key to close that particular loopo. none of them will get to any kind of asylum, that's absolutely clear because there's no political repression in moldova. but they have found a loophole to get through and they using it. it's all duty to make sure this stops . they get mad. i spoke to a full of praise for the way they've been treated here in germany. and despite the old, remain hopeful that they may be grunted permanently to remain here for that the situation may improve in mold over, allow them to go home. germany has never refused to provide asylum so far as been accepting everyone. and i hope that will continue their opportunities here, unlike him while dover and germany feeds us. it's very good here compared with them all. dover. as energy prices continue to rise and winter is on its way more, they will see this as the best option that's available to that piece or all of her off the girl in a panic over a gas prices in the u. k. has seen 2 more energy supplies, go to the wall in just over a week, affecting more than a 1000000 customers. i'm for energy and green, the latest casualties, both unable to absorb high gas prices. 60 k energy companies have now combust effecting more than one and a half 1000000 consumers, while others are scrambling to stay in business. green energy, blame c, unprecedented market conditions and regulatory failings for the collapse, but also claim that the government is abandoning smaller energy suppliers. the company's chief operating officer took the option returns in today's going underground. how do you see the energy crisis is we broach christmas. ultimately, i think, you know, every single day the enterprise is getting was the health market is you're increasing day by day. as much as the research in the crisis describe the entire well due to the common backs and it's been marked out in the u. k. i mean quite the quoting bar it's ministry is talk about what you put in a real capitalism on this program. and i'm sure you've been listening to the british government's position, which is that it's the fault of electricity providers like yourself, presumably who haven't hedged properly and therefore haven't planned properly. and your entire business model is a full, not british strategic energy security planning. yes. so the rhetoric over the last few days being very much that every small supplier is by the round and says whereas, you know, contact protein was on the new thing, you know, around 5 to 8. supply is normally the needs of him, unusual to make you fall, can mean, but, you know, from assembly spice has started yet, you know, could be between 5 and 10. actually make it through. isn't a crisis. you know, it's the walk it it, if you have it, if it's such a dramatic change, an entire industry to a gas and rubber bullets of mark the 3rd day of chaotic scenes in the australian city of melbourne. where another round of anti coated protests took place. including one and it's iconic wall memorial offices is mabel and $200.00 arrest across the city. the demonstrate has continued to protest corona virus jobs for the construction industry, the victorious day premier daniel andrews branded the scenes, ugly, adding. they will pretend to protest this about punishment if they continued would organize the war and the rallies will carry on until that demands a met. including an immediate end to the lockdown noble mask and an occupation mandates and the reopening of building sites to the unvaccinated. a former australia, new newspaper editor, format australia and media noise shed fused with us on the reasons behind the unrest. people sticking after $200.00 consecutive days in melbourne. which is obviously the capital of the most densely populated state, victoria, which has borne the brunt of, of the current of ours. a people have just had enough. i mean, interest me put up with a lot. but after, while you got a cold cold into the problem is because we think the premier n lenders is that he actually missed quite a substantial part of management around the pandemic. he had had a fall and, and was quite, quite badly injured his ribs and was actually off the scene for quite some time. he'd now come back into it and people are saying, listen, when you come back in to tell us what to do, we need to know what the plan is. i think the plan is more of the same old locked down and they're not going to bear. particularly, the most recent instance of being amongst the construction workers who are simply told ok, no work for to work for 2 weeks. go home. i think the feeling of this my country wide buddy, it's more intense in melbourne because the lockdown to get no been honda. i think we've had 1200 straight wide and 800 of those and been in, in victoria. i had a disproportionate in victoria. they riots which are unprecedented here in australia. i mean we've had projects before, but nothing like that. i mean, 2000 protesters virtually shut down the melbourne, say big day, they shut down the width breach. this is, this is something that's gone beyond anything that happened before. a doctor being sued under texas, new anti abortion low rich. just the latest incident to test the increasingly confrontational relationship between the lone star state and federal government. his ortiz to me through polk the united states has always had mixed success when it came to striking a balance between laws and posed by the federal government. and the will of individual states. and states like texas have long been a thorn in the side of washington. which just wants to ruin peace and impose this agenda without being questioned all the time. but the pesky jackson's keep opposing federal initiatives. latest case in point, texas is now suing the equal employment opportunity commission, which insist that l g b. c workers should be allowed to address, however, they want and use whatever bathrooms they want. if the budget administration thinks they can for states to comply with their political agenda, my office will fight against the radical attempt of social change. these back door attempts to force businesses including the state of texas to align with their beliefs unacceptable. according to texas attorney general ken paxton, the federal initiative cannot be applied in texas because apparently, as he says it is based on a misinterpretation of current legislation. but while all those debates go on regular people and businesses, phil don't know which guidelines to follow or what the repercussions could be for following either of them. and if that wasn't already driving a wedge and heidi, there's also the never ending issue of abortion. taxes recently imposed a ban on a procedure throughout the state and federal officials are not happy to say the least in the wake of texas is unprecedented attack. it has never been more important to codify this constitutional right and to strength and health care axes . for all women, regardless of where they live, ban goes completely against the federal legislation, and president biden as also weighed in on sexes decision to go against the grain. this law, so extreme, does not even allow for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. and it's not only empowers complete strangers to inject themselves into the most private of decisions made by a woman and actually incentivizes them to do so with the prospect of $10000.00. if they win their case. in fact, that $10000.00 prospect has already attracted some would be bounty hunters, a doctor who performed in abortion several days after taxes imposed the ban, is now being sued for the violation our the guy suing him is admitted that he's actually just trying to see if the law actually works, and if he can actually get a nice little paycheck at the end of the trial, if the law is no goods, why should we have to go through a long drawn out process to find out if it's garbage. now while these legislative battles go on, regular people are facing a social divide in their everyday lives. in fact, according to recent polls, some 54 percent of americans think that the country has become less united since biden's office and 88 percent thing through the country is more divided than ever. texas is just the latest prime example of the division. but the problem is actually going throughout the country with some people choosing to follow federal guidelines, while others looked state authorities for guidance. but at the end of the day, all the things to do is bring about more division and confusion which seem to breed nothing but more and more conflict already housed and political analysts. dave perkins claims taxes problem. it's not with washington, but with the democratic policy as a whole not directly between texas in washington, it's between texas and the left wing, the democratic party in washington. and as we know, that isn't the whole of washington right now. it's a very tenuous, tiny little majority. and so these battles are going to be fought. but texas is not necessarily trying to come down as the great safeguard of the rights of the unborn children. what it's trying to come down as is a state that has the right to make its own laws in areas that the federal government is essentially constitutionally forbidden, from operating in all of stories that are c dot com or by following us on the use. sure, that's it for me, for now that will have your next update and just have a half an hour. see me. the were told the new strategic alliance comprising the united states, the united kingdom and australia is not directed against china. but of course, it is, washington is about numerous alliances against paging, but argos has a new killer dimension tensions arising in the pacific. and no doubt, china will react the the with i'm action return here, we're going underground is the 76 session of the united nations general assembly me to new york. i mean, it's the global pandemic of sickness and unparalleled economic inequality coming up in the show. as britain deploy, it's queen elizabeth aircraft carrier towards china. i mean nuclear submarine deal with the u. s. in australia. failures in u. k. energy security at home have even mainstream media suggesting christmas could be cancelled. i probably, or the results of casino capitalism. and we asked the economists to help set the interest rates for the bank of england during the 28th crash about china as possible. lehman moment. and if you case should serve as a warning for other unregulated and privatized energy industries across.
