Broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r. T. International on john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. And there are renewed concerns in the u. K. Over the state of the National Health service after a woman died in the hospital of cardiac arrest following what her family says was a 6 hour wait for an ambulance having broken her foot outside her home in south wales donna gilby was left lying on a freezing sidewalk until help arrived the Ambulance Service has apologized for the long delay but also emphasized that the n. H. S. Is under enormous strain. 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. We dont use shoddy edwards takes a closer look now at the tragedy and the challenges faced by the n. H. S. Well were hearing story upon story of the state of the n. H. S. In the crisis within it but this one really has shocked the nation after a woman died after waiting for 6 hours for an Ambulance Service after breaking her foot in the wells despite neighbors running around to providing her clothing and warm items she was then finally taken into hospital but later died of cardiac arrest heres the fathers account of what happened. Right she was waiting. They were dealing with a heavy influx of. When there was. This time we were told they were doing their best but they didnt know when they would get. The call handler did say that they were dealing with a heavy influx of calls plus they said theyd be there as soon as possible but the issue is they argue theres not just a situation within the welsh and h s but the entirety of the United Kingdom we know theres plenty of allegations against the n. H. S. When it comes to issues of being woefully short staffed and woefully under a crypt when it comes to hospitals across the United Kingdom but as we know this incident is not isolated and there are several issues within the n. H. S. Well the n. H. S. Has long been held as a beacon of British Society and of course has been in operation since 1948 but the issue of the crisis in the n. H. S. Has led to many people becoming quite concerned when it comes to many people outside a London Hospital of thoughts of the crisis with an n. H. S. Hospital just. My husband. And drive himself to hospital. Rob ford never had a prob the saying its. Too much people. This is not true theres a look like it when you come into the hospital you see the doctors will be looking to know both what happens is the ambient people cant leave the patient until. They get seen so i think thats part of ease of my. Car for you to control and if youve got a call from a viewer in population adding to the existing population every year and youre not building a new hospital youre not building new doctors for agrees it cant work. Well this isnt the only crisis and scandal to hit the n. H. S. As of late as we know the heart of concerns is post brecks deals and negotiations particularly at the heart of concern is the n. H. S. Now the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn has accused Boris Johnson of going down the path of selling off the n. H. S. Weve now got evidence that under Boris Johnson the n. H. S. Is on the table and will be up for sale he tried to cover it up in a secret and this is the reality you have for of down to go see a chanst n. H. S. Is off for sale but truth be told theres a barrel of issues when it comes to the n. H. S. From the more obvious like cuts to services but also a growing population and ageing population evolving Health Care Needs but one of the biggest most crucial factors at the moment is of course the increase of rely it says on the privatized sation when it comes to the National Health care system so as you can see the seems to be an unending crisis. Russias foreign minister has spoken out against the United States decision to impose sanctions on Companies Involved in the construction of the nord stream to gas pipeline Sergey Lavrov said the move undermines the sovereignty of european nations and he stressed that the project will be completed despite washingtons attempts to block it. In the states 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 the 2nd stage of a Pipeline Network linking russia to germany through the baltic sea once completed the system will transport up to 55000000000 cubic meters of russian natural gas per year to europe or he could take a closer look at how the project has caused a rift between europe and of the u. S. Washington has weaponized sanctions its official along with spending on nukes the army and cyber sanctions in the u. S. 2020 military budget it started in mission for the year the elimination of one of russias gas trees into europe currently under construction the United States commands all our European Partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream to and we commend 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 pipeline 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 arguing and puffing over the project for years dishing out threats and blackmail but to no avail the threat of sanctions has seen key European Contractor all seize hold its operations nevertheless in an admittedly rare act of disobedience to the us 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 deal is government is against extraterritorial sanctions we dont approve of this practice we oppose especially extraterritorial sanctions that hit german and European Companies and. 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 trying to force feed on its treasured allies across the atlantic shale gas because really theres 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 of 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 fresh. Need ukraine which had been left out of the pipeline deal will 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 and destabilize ukraine it was almost like russia listened because hours before sanctions hit north stream 2 construction mosco in 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 of forcing its will on friend and foe alike. He spokesperson for annoyed stream 2 told our t. V. That the project is essential for ensuring europes Energy Security and that work will be finished as soon as possible we asked several analysts for their views on the story. Is so well out of. The. To the effect its really sort of reading that very day its a traditionalist remain cold all the feel good bags and so on so the very sensitive equipment us sucked out in itself is something to do that. To his alone as they try to work all the problems. The 6 leads the position of and the specific oddities crux of this project america doesnt have to be part of every deal that is made on the planet and there are important of course their most important and i and germany by on the other hand they have no problem whatsoever to quote the allies under pressure which is not sort of an act of friendship 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 the europeans are very firm they want to complete north stream 2 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 u. S. Interests that top 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 a close and distant highly disciplined approach us atlantic western europe at their site. Israels ambassador to the United Nations has launched a scathing attack on the International Criminal court accusing it of a diplomatic terror that is after the organizations chief prosecutor for tobin sudha announced plans to investigate alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories. I am satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into the situation in palestine crimes have been being committed in the west Bank IncludingEast Jerusalem and the gaza strip the i. C. C. Prosecutors decision has turned the International Criminal court into a Political Tool to do legitimize the state of israel this is a dark day for truth and justice and i asked a few years of hard work in full and also providing all the necessary information about the crimes committed by the Occupying Forces against the Palestinian People point police Union Territories the decision was finally made today this is a great day for us we have achieved what we want to eat the i. C. C. Has the authority to hear cases relating to war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity its really officials insist however that it has no jurisdiction to investigate alleged crimes committed in the palestinian territories as palestine is not universally recognized as a sovereign state the courts top prosecutor has signaled her intent to look into alleged war crimes carried out by both the mouse and the Israeli Defense forces since 2014. Show on jabarin is the director of the romola based all huck Human Rights Organization he told us that d all crimes committed in the territories should be investigated. For instance for the Space Shuttle but it was to get in to investigate they do to allow for the commissioner of the u. N. Commissions of inquiry is to come to investigate this is the case who this is all these ladies dealing and treating very sissy a dozen poor poor only in one way and the palestinians all of them to accept. That if there is crimes you know committed by palestinians literally you see the size of the goal after the palestinians at least 3 months or Something Like that but why is that is the concern. That if they know well that palestinians could be to crimes this is the i. C. C. Go after them. But i think they dont want for this mechanism and for this tool and for this sort of tea to function.

So. We are satisfied and happy 1st and foremost because according to the extracts from the letter that were read out to us by the court what happened has been recognized as wrong as a reprehensible error.

Has not been recognized as a crime and punished at the judicial level. Fridays ruling was significant in that it was the 1st time a french court had found a corporation guilty of institutional harassment but a lawyer for the companys former c. E. O. Has said that he intends to appeal the decision. Into personal harrison. In relation to any employee i believe this decision is completely and reasonable it has no legal basis.

Turkey has pledged to increase its military assistance to libyas internationally recognized government as fighting intensifies around the capital the war lord. Whos in a forces are aligned with a rival administration in the east of the country have in recent days been closing in on. 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 the Libyan National army controls most of the Strategic Oil fields its perhaps no surprise that Different Countries rush to strike Oil Deals Amid this tripoli offensive. Comments. 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 to. 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 they have to go up to key will not to and from the agreement is 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 france 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 and accused france 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 how stars forces
