the rest of europe looking quite quiet. the northwest is just hanging on to what was briefly some pretty autumnal, stormy weather. it's just been backed off a little bit that we go further into this for friday and saturday. the circulation continues over italy, greece spreads towards the boss for sleeping things, rather dryer in italy, switzerland, and from the system expanding more so on saturday was or tumbler whether there is, is rain for allan scotland and for norway. but between here and what's happening for this, i have much of northern europe is quite warm. ah, every war lisa, devastating, in fact, killing me environment, earth rise, explode some of the efforts to recover what was lost from the syrian scientist. safeguarding one of our most valuable results is these are important samples. we have to make sure they are surviving to the refugees. striving to co exist with nature. okay, so what's going on there is the assimilating. what happens when an elephant thomas life off to conflict on al jazeera? we town the unto

k. jung to record high russia says europe is to blame for the crisis. ah, the world health organization has endorsed the 1st ever malaria vaccine in a major step in the battle against one of the leading causes of childhood jams. it's recommended the job be rolled out to millions of children across africa, victoria gate, and b reports. it's being described as a game changer for child health, a vaccine that could help save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year in sub saharan africa. monica has been with us, poor millennial, and the dream of my letter. boxing has been a long held but a tenable dream. to day. the oddity as s mallet vaccine, more than 30 years in the making changes the course of public health history. the vaccine smith, klein vaccine has been given to infants and gone at kenya. i'm allowing since 2019 as part of a pilot program, it was found to be about 30 percent effective at preventing severe cases of the disease which is transmitted through mosquitoes. but that figure raised to around 70 percent when the vaccine was com

we in short guaranteed uninterrupted gas deliveries to europe. we have every reason to believe that this year we will reach record levels of gas deliveries on the global market. when prices are volatile when they're going through the roof, what can help with that extra supplies? president prudent said that there was not a single occasion when rushes energy joined gas from refused a request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and what mr. brewton was asked a straightforward question whether moscow has ever used the energy sector as a political weapon. his answer was straightforward. no, want to ask you about it directly. has russia been using energy as a weapon? russia's not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention as for the economy, where are we using weapons and what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. there's nothing to support it when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of the day. i g

when you put hybrid into the mix, you're looking at a 3rd of all sales across europe. it's been a meteorite rise as well. fucking 2018 less than 200000 electric vehicles were sold here in year of this year though, we're expecting that figure to be well over $1000000.00. in fact, when you look at these numbers globally, over the next 4 years, we're expecting to see 10000000 electric vehicles sold. with that figure soaring to 30000000 by 2032 years ago we as an electricity consumer protection organization decided to also address the issue of electron mobility. electricity consumption will increase by 25 percent as a result. although that is not the real problem ocean, the main problem is that you need very high power to charge the batteries within a reasonable time. in the long run, this will lead to charging in private households. the development of an infrastructure to charge a larger number of cars is completely undeveloped. people have been too naive about this. a naive isn't incredible. on the statement one, despite bows concerns, electric vehicles, including buses

and this in turn led to shortages of supplies in europe. in particular, the prices for natural gas at one point skyrocketed to unprecedented levels and death that many analysts indeed call this a true global energy crisis. but in that times, specifically russia by some has even been blamed for politicizing the matter. and before that for years, moscow has been under fire for some of its infrastructure projects like gas, the nord stream, to in particular for direct natural gas deliveries from russia to the northern coast of germany. and like i've been hearing from many experts here on day one of russia's energy we got there has been reassessment. and reassessment is also something that mister putin has been talking about. he also spoke about what he called mistakes on the part of a some of brushes partners when it comes to their energy policies. so let's have a look at what else the russian leader said about that austin nuggets for you. looked at higher prices on gas in europe are a consequence of a deficit of energy and not vice versa. and

on saturday parties, peter oliver reports on his way to europe. so the series of meetings that he has u. s. president joe biden was asked, will you be apologizing to french president emanuel mack on he did say, well, we've already talked about that, suggesting that perhaps have been done in the over the phone conversations. this was the 1st face to face meeting. and what we heard from joe biden was that the united states, in his opinion, had acted without grace when it came to squeezing fronts out of a submarine deal with australia. we did was clumsy with a lot of grace. i was under the impression that france happened to form long before with my arms to go me things conducted in a real badness, fear of reconciliation between paris in washington biden and micron. ab, what we did see was a little moment between the 2. when they, they were shaking hands and lots of thank you. don't thank use from the 2 presidents with you. i will be thank you. well, all of the awkwardness came about because of orchestra. that's the, the defense package that was set u

ensures more than 44000 migrants arrived in europe from north africa in 2021 alone. but more than 25000 have been returned from the mediterranean sea by the libyan coast guard, and are put sensors like this. most of the migrants being held here in this detention center. i've left their countries of origin due to poverty or war. while some of them have been returned to libya from the sea, others tell us, they have no ambition to travel to europe. they tell us they are interested in getting the vaccine or less concerned about coven 19 than when the corner says she doesn't want to go to europe and came from liberia to find work, to provide for a child and family back home. she says she's been in this detention center for more than 6 weeks or other unless that's on the vast in before. i took it out and met in alpha come in at the doctor hospital, the vaccine did it schedule me to go back on the 20 of us by the 2nd one and says allison, fully glasgow. the, i don't have just to go back, not minutes to talk to my fun minute, don't know them yet in prison, many migrant say t

not in a spot in europe, but on an exchange in st. petersburg. but in general, exchange trading is not very effective because it carries a lot of risks. is not a watch shorts and ties or a car, or even oil that can be produced and stored anywhere. gas is not sold like that on the market problem being, it seems that they're just on in of contract. people haven't contracted into long term gas supplies. so obviously brush is not going to want to be made out to the bud guy here. what can you do with regards the pricing? well, man, you're absolutely right. and the thing is i, the european lawmakers might have shot themselves in the foot here. and well, of conceptually nukes the wallets of the end of the line consumers of ordinary europeans. so here's, here's the thing about natural gas. it's not oil. you can just, you know, get it one time stored in a barrel until you need it, and then you will access it. no, it doesn't work like that. you can't store natural gas. so what the european lawmakers came up with, they decided that they would switch from co

but even with europe, extremely generous. green subsidies, they're still just 15 percent off the energy mix, not to mentor renewables, notorious unreliability when to when stop slowing or the sun doesn't shine. so green power appears. look good in theory, but in reality it can be more difficult. as germany does try to ramp up its use of renewable energy at the moment, it has been forced to suspend the use of 19 wind turbines, over safety fears. that after this one collapsed in a forest, in west, in germany, just hours before, it was supposed to be officially launched this week. the 240 meter tor structure, with its huge rotor blades, abruptly toppled over. officials and i tried to work out how it happened. i back when he was prime minister, the russian president, vladimir peyton did joke about the difficult choices that germany faces when it comes to fuel you miscarriages halo a. so the german community doesn't like nuclear power, might want to make any comments ah, the ocean, but i don't understand what you're going to use f

but even with europe, extremely generous. green subsidies, they're still just 15 percent off the energy mix, not to mentor renewables, notorious unreliability. when to when stop slowing or the sun doesn't shine well, problems. so you may note expect check this green power appears to be taking a bit of a topple. judging by these poachers, germany trying to ramp up its use of renewables, but it had to suspend the use of 19 wind turbines. after that up and one collapsed in a forest at western germany just hours before it was supposed to be officially lodged this week. the 240 meter tall structure was huge, rotor blades must be the thing to see coming, turn a, the toppled over. officials are desperately trying to work out quickly to what went wrong on something. so brand new like that. now back when he was prime minister russian president vladimir putin did joke about the difficult choices germany faced when it came to fuel a. so the german community doesn't like nuclear power. i don't want to make any comments. i don't understan

and there is absolutely no intention anywhere in western europe to send a single. so dot shore, danish or german or french soldier, to fight in ukraine in a way is just the safe way of postering and externalizing, you know, problems in russia. cosy, nemesis, juanita? well, i mean, there is real fear that as well, you know, genuine paranoid as i say. but there is, yes, i mean there is also a great deal of the convenient out of the convenient enemy. i have a formula that this, i say that nato will never actually defend any we're russia might attack. and russia will never attack any word, but nato might defend because, you know, on the other hand, i regard unit a stuffy region in the west about a russian threat to invade the baltic states or does just absolutely nonsense in crane and georgia, that's a different matter very of course there are ongoing frozen conflict, but now this notion of red lines is key for both russia and later. and i think, especially the russian level prison, putin has committed the country to both flexibility and firmness in defining in defendi

we have to bear in mind that there is a huge gas crosses all over the world, factories and plants in europe. ha, having to shut down businesses having to shut down. because at this point, it is now more expensive to buy gas vent to sell their projects, such of the costs of production now, and this is all over the european continent, not just the european union with britain, britain as well in china, we're seeing the same story so obviously the muldoon's asking for help the europeans and others, whether they will receive that help, remains to be seen. the turkish president has ordered the ambassadors of 10 western allies, including the us, france, and germany to be declared persona non grata the 1st step towards expelling them from the country. that's after the envoys called for the release of a turkish business. men and activists jailed for anti government activity and who is still awaiting trial. it is not i gave the necessary instructions to our minister of foreign affairs. i told him what he had to do, deal with the declaration of these 10 ambassadors as persona non grata as soon as poss

this is not what democracies do burning question of our energy or in fact, the lack of it here in europe. we know that ursula vaughan delay and the commission president is just wound the businesses may have to close as a result of this crisis. as they may run out of the energy that they need to run those businesses. we know that spain is spoken to the block and said that urgent measures need to be taken. there has to be coordinated action amongst the block members to deal with this crisis, which it warned may last beyond next winter, far longer than anybody else has been talking about to date. no natural gas has gone up in price by more than 400 percent in the last year, more than 20 percent or so in the last day. that gives you a sense of how urgent this crisis is. and as this is unfolding some politicians, rather than looking at what's happening at home here in the you are concerned and pointing the finger of blame, shifting it towards russia. the current high gas prices are primarily the result of high demand and low supply. at the same time, russia is playing poker. gas supplies have

conference on wednesday, he noted that russia has always fulfilled his obligations to europe, even at the height of the cold war. russia, as deputy foreign minister also said in an interview that moscow wants to work with europe to achieve energy security. and he revealed that gas problem has already started using supplies from its own reserve and in that time to help stabilize the market. morgan stanley has upgraded china's property sector too attractive, which is surprising, considering how worried investors are, as they are closely watching, to see what happens with ever grant. the world's most indebted company because it might still default. and if it does, whether or not there will be contagion u. s. investment banks, that it believes that policy easing of the property sector looks likely to kick in, which will support chinese real estate stocks that spring and boom, us co host, christie. i enjoyed both my and her business school to discuss this with us and to sniff out what is true and not true didn't go out to start with you. home cells in china, they are weighed down. that's n

focus of the russian president's speech fell on gas and energy, and particularly gas prices across europe. if you picked up any newspaper, looked at any t, v or listen to any radio across the continents over the last few weeks, you think they swell. vladimir putin had a small top that he could turn in short cut off the gas to countries in europe. it will cost us not the case, and we also heard the russian president say that there was no truth whatsoever to the stories that he had been doing. just not all russia had been holding back supplies in order to ramp the price of the ocean president, pointing out, in fact, that russia has opened supplies, increased supplies to europe in recent times. and what we heard though, from the russian president, is saying that when it comes to sorting out the problems that we have in europe when it comes to gas prices, that both the consumers on the supply is need to act responsibly. which is global sustainability of global energy markets directly depends on responsible actions of all of their participants. both producers and consumers are based on long te

there are still security threats in europe, not the least from russia. but from russia, the campaign's hedge. it's the right priority. if america loses dominance in the indo pacific, it will cause a shocking power balance that will engulf europe, too. you see china is the biggest threat, not only to the united states, bill daley, but to europe as well? guest: absolutely. we have seen strength. personally, we have seen chinese economic cooperation, for instance in australia and india, and europe. it has been subject to economic co-opting from china because they do not borrow chinese directives, and we have also seen china pursue what are called unfair trade practices and stealing of technology. for instance, chinese companies are competing with our private companies, helped by chinese state subsidies. that is not a level playing field. recently, we have seen that even more sophisticated chinese approach where they pursue what i call strategic investments in infrastructure and business centers that are strategically important to us, and to counter this agg

and in europe, what's going on in europe? you know, boyland hungry christian gates for, for not in the wine. and when the british prime minister made a speech and the european parliament a few days ago, presenting his arguments, they were all refuted by from germany who just said, what you say, what you said makes you happy. you know, i'm saying yeah, give us just what you said makes you happy. that means you should stop and spoken to me. so unfortunately, we're going down the road. there are threats, you know, was i just or climate change, whatever. you know, if you can just drop isn't enough, there are people who are demonized like goldstein in the oils, nor will put you in the, in the western media know what she g p, maybe tomorrow. right. so unfortunately, we have the same, same narratives repeated themselves and i don't know where it will lead us. i can only hope that it won't lead us to the same will last us that we, the bureau many g endure during the world war 2. and during the experiments, but it talks more and more,

if you've been following the media across europe for the last couple of weeks, gas prices have pretty much been everywhere. wherever you look, in fact, a lot of thing is, is being pointing directly at russia with some slamming the kremlin directly for limiting supplies of gas to europe and driving up the gas price. this is something that's vehemently denied by russia run by there. the russian president, vladimir, who said that the only way that the current situation can be sorted out is if suppliers and consumers act responsibly. switch your global, the sustainability of global energy markets directly depends on responsible actions of all of their participants. both producers and consumers based on long term interests of all sides. russia calling for a thorough discussion of this topic and a pragmatic manner guided solely by economic considerations. the harshest critics, all of russia's gas policy has been really the, the european media. if you listen to some news outlet so watched or read some things that are in print, you think that is let me put not a little tap on his desk that co

and unfortunately, we are witnessing in europe and in germany, a widening gap between the 2. when i talk to under printers, when i to, to, to our constituency. i hear that there is a lot of interest in cooperating always rusher and bettering the relations with russia. if i listen to the european parliament it's, it's quite the opposite. i think we need to, to overcome the geopolitical confrontation because we're a phased with challenges on a global scale that only can be overcome when we start entering into the real dialogue and the economic hardships that we're facing will teach everyone. let's look at the current energy crisis. look at the content before we're look at the climate change, we're facing challenges and such a global, unprecedented scale that there's no alternative to better cooperation. defined the police movement who's flag the us democrats, bore high seems to be losing steam amid a surgeon violent crimes across the states. over the last year. ever more americans are demanding more be spent on bolstering the force. we heard views from the northeast to the sout

well, autumn is certainly being felt in europe. we've got wet and windy conditions across many areas and that unsettled weather is set to continue for the next few days. the wind and the rain pulling in from the west, pushing across to the east. now ahead of this eastern europe, missing a lot of fine and dry weather, stretching old way from poland down to the balcony. that is going to change. by the time we get into choose day, and that's thanks, the low pressure that's pulling in, bring some heavy rain storms and snow to pots of france to switzerland. so snow for the outs and some heavy rain from northern parts of italy. we have got some red warnings out fully gloria and tuscany. we could see some flooding from those torrential downpours. but as we go into tuesday, it's going to push across into austria into croatia. this area is going to see a lot of wet weather and with that we are going to see some of those temperatures come down. for example, in belgrade it's lorraine as well for greece and the rain continues for fronds. it wi

hot spot for tens of millions of dollars that used to be in offshore accounts in the caribbean and europe. and this is despite of jo biden's promise to, you know, combat corruption. earlier this year to day, i'm issued a national security study memorandum of the fight against corruption to establish competent corruption as a core us national security interest. the united states will lead by example, and in partnership with allies, civil society and in the private sector to fire this courage of corruption going effect delaware. whereas mister biden, hales from i've got some pretty good, the tax breaks the company's them they. so if his big platform is to deal with tax evasion, as many leaders do where the americans on this list, well, that's a good question. they're basically not there. i mean, we hear report after report, obviously about like a lot of american businessman and a and big corporate corporate owners evade avoiding taxes. and yet this report, for some reason only mentions a couple of very obscure american billionaires that i personally never heard of. and so, yeah, the, the bi

but earlier we heard from the french europe minister came on problem. he said, look, 90 percent of the licenses europe had applied for had been given out, but most of that 10 percent. they were french and he said, but that looks like we're being targeted here. and that's when it goes from being a technical difficulty to, to being a political one. so it does appear at this stage that instead of making any progress during the 30 minute meeting today as, as what's hoped, both sides appear to have dug in. and they waiting for to see who will move 1st. so at this stage, those measures fit to be unveiled on tuesday. we'll wait and see what happens. mccomb says he hopes that they will be some action from britain in the coming days will indeed see how that continues to play out there next year. brian, forth in parents, thank you so much. lexie. now moving on on the sudanese teachers committee has called for a strike and all states of sudan that comes a day off the hundreds of thousands of people rally there to denounce the military takeover soldiers use tear ga

connected to the fact that the united states would like to dominate natural gas exports to western europe. and likewise, there is a story about russia's reluctance to break ties with cuba, 90 miles from the shores of the united states. washington still would like to strangle that regime. we know from history when washington feels that it's losing control, it tends to strike out blindly. and that would be quite dangerous because russia is able to match washington militarily. and so we're at a very dangerous turning point, i'm afraid to say in world history. joe biden has met with his french counterpart in italy. it is their 1st meeting since washington outraged paris by going behind his back over a submarine deal with australia. their talks come ahead of the larger g 20 gathering and rum on saturday ortiz peter oliver report on his way to europe for the series of meetings that he has. you as president joe biden was asked, will you be apologizing to french president emanuel mack on he did say, well, we've already talked about that, suggesting that perhaps of being done in the, over the phon
