landscape pointed rushes, recent deployment of north korean troops to the front line seen as a major publication by western leaders. the staff may also have influenced washington's decision to allow key of to deploy attackers. right after ward russia published it's updated nuclear weapons policy. a move that was months in the making as a newly released duct tray and permits a potential nuclear response even to a conventional attack on russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power. long range missiles are going to be applied from ukraine into russian territory. it will also mean that the author rated by american, the next us military experts. and we will be taking this as a corner that you really knew face of the western war against the russian a and the bill will be if the forwarding not all western leaders are on board with

supplying ukraine with longer range weapons despite please from key. if german is chancellor, all of shoulds has refused. now the world must wait to see whether washington's decision will hasting towards the resolution or escalation. all right, let's take a look at out some of the other stories making headlines around the world. and germany's defense minister bars the story is described the unexplained severing of 2 fiber optic cables under the baltic sea as an act to sabotage. the full country is effected, finland germany this way and yet, and sweden lawrence investigations. the story is said, the damage appeared to deliberate and could wrapped presents and acts of hyper and wolf that results president luis, unnecessarily desilva has cooled on the wells biggest economies to improve the claimant's targets is appeal came on the 2nd and final day of this. he is g 20

summit in brazil, he urged rich nations to strive to achieve net 0 emissions within 5 to 10 years. from so says he will canonize. the catholic church is 1st, millennial and digital age. st. carlo cutest died in 2006 at the age of 15. he used his talents to create a website that catalogs miracles. administered several of the catholic website websites. he'll be proclaimed to st in april. next year. are now stand off, continues at a disused a mine shaft in the south africa's northwest province, police blocking supply lines of food and water to full out hundreds of illegal. mine is searching for lift of gold. a court has ordered the police to allow them to leave. the government has now launched a rescue effort, but it's not clear if the man all actually trapped,

well if they're refusing to face the author's ease. as food supplies run out, the weights for relatives is itemizing. utilities diane whitaker, reports now from the officially abounded shields on tape steel, fontaine mine to columbus, has down this hole. hundreds of mine workers are believed to be trapped. the mine is a cold, so i'm, as i'm us loosely translate to mean those we're trying to operate as part of unlicensed mining syndicates. they often stay underground for months at a time relying on food deliveries from local businesses and family members. now police have cut those supplies and clothes of other exits in an attempt to force the mind is above ground. the police say this is part of a why the plan to cook violent crime, which they say is driven by legal minus at this particular area where we are at one

point in the past, did we picked up about 20 bodies of these indigo minus that had been fighting, these are the over the tests. so um we, we, we, we came with this as i told you to say, let's put a stop to all these in the system. i need to be teased because that is the proof. when we do get the crime statistics that shows that areas where they easily go, mining operations based bound to have high incidence and high levels of crimes. but relatives of those trip underground have a different view saying the family members are just trying to make a living. this woman trouble, 200 kilometers, to find out with the husband has made it out alive. she hasn't heard from him in 2 months, and she is the worst. i haven't heard anything about what's going on under ground. i'm hoping that someone will be able to give me some information

until tuesday community workers and mine is had been coordinating or risk you. effort they've been using basic tools, ropes, a police, and this mutual bar. it is a difficult, i'm extremely slow process and they say that they only able to bring up one person at a time. that's why these community members are hoping that the government's risk takes him very quickly and that they are able to start the risk of being logic. groups of $5.00 to $6.00 width is at a time the government risk process could take a few days to officially get underway. risky workers must bring in heavy equipment and clear way rebel from the site is as far as they spinning it's. it's a, it's a process. i didn't take for the most to do this. because no one v i d, d, d,

the number. would you mean that a drum stick to the process that they're going to use can take they would be $6660.00 would be to 45 minutes instead. so the process of keeping the opening, i don't want to keep these in the meantime. those underground and they loved ones, had been given a simple message, be patient help is on the way. and diane, who has just returned from the gold mine and is joining us now live from johannesburg to see diane. so all these legal mine is actually trapped a well on. yeah. it's a yes and the know, depending on who you actually speak to from the perspective of the sub african police, they believe that the workers awesome. the avoiding or reese, and they said that they should come to the surface of the own accord. police have been asked why they don't go underground to get the, the,

the illegal mine will cause and they said that due to the conditions on the ground, the high level of heat, noxious gases that'll also in these old abandoned mines that is on say, for police to go and retrieve the the, the illegal mind is interested from the perspective of the loved ones and from some community members that we spoke to. they believe that the police should actually make an effort. and they argue that the mind is infect, attract due to the timeframe of the police blockade on few food, entering the shaft. and some of those people they say, haven't really received decent meals in as many as 2 weeks. and those who have been brought to the ground about 12 since last week, they have come up quite weak and have told the community members about the situation on the ground. they say that many people are extremely hydrated. some are in need of urgent, maybe co pay some lines in need of h r b medication,

which they haven't received in some time. and almost all i need of food. and that's why the community members have lobbied the government to say that the needs to be a risk effort to retrieve the mind as well. of course, categorized as the legal mind. is that for the view as might not know illegal mind is ok, is a train that we've been seeing over the past few years yet in south africa. many of the people who were previously worked in the formal mining sick to. but as a result of mine closures have now gone into the informal elicit effect of the market using these skills that they learn to formally employment. to now feed this in this trait. and why do they do that, diane? i mean, how profit profitable is this kind of work as well? mostly because they are many jobs available and because of limited skills, we heard from, from the lady that i spoke to when putting together that package. she told me that

her husband had joined the legal mining sick to because he was struggling to get other work. he was initially doing handyman type of work, but he had a very limited as of skills. so i've africa has quite an extensive unemployment crisis, which has to be growing over the past few years. and also the has been a situation where many mines have closed down, but the actual formal sector has shrunken significantly since 2019. so in a way, it's a cocktail of these factors that are pushing many people into this elicit trade. of course, it is something that is quite dangerous. in many cases, even the, those were running the industry, carry weapons and on known to have also killed those in the binding sector. but those who are working in the san diego mining look up and pay to take that risk due to not having many of the options available. and just briefly, diane, do you think the forcing the legal work is out of this mind?

could prevent the problem from a rising elsewhere. certainly not it's, it's a problem that is mushroom being we'll have a reading mushroom across the country. the police say that in the past few months since december last year, they were arrested as many as 15000 illegal minus. as you can see, that's quite a large number. and quite a big operation that they writing. but the, the circumstances leading to people entering this work of quite complex and possibly the solution would have to be more complex. been simply a police operation. dealing with other issues like the high end improvements level and also social issues around these communities without many disused might then hook over pushing from job to how does the diane thank you so much for that. finally on the program, the land is of course well known for its christmas markets, but is also very well known for its 10 notes website. and so why not combine the 2?

no, that's the idea behind this. don't mess. so when so lights installation it's gone full, gets go strobe lights rhythmic music, hundreds of upside down christmas trees and it offers a festive version, the sullens famous night club, the we go, here's a quick reminder about top story for you. the u. s. embassy and keep has shut down off to saying it received warnings of a russian air attack. several european countries followed the move, which comes off, so you cry and fired us supplied longer range. missiles at targets inside russia. said you're up to date is coming up next. the w talks to columbia is environment
