passing laws to help the most vulnerable david with a man who believe passionately in this country and in its future as the nation is in an absolute state of shock. many also are now calling for more security unsafe for protocols for members of parliament in britain, especially considering the really chilling lara tease to the murder of joe cox who was stopped and shot to death back in 2016. again. that was just before her very own constituency surgery meeting. its also really sad to know that said david, a mrs. last tweet was actually talking about this constituency surgery invitation, saying to the local community to come and chat to him, face to face. for, for many m p 's, this is really no tragedy for them on to terrible reminder of the very real
8:04 am
risk that they facing the jobs of the normal friday turns very hiring and very violent indeed, and a much investigation is now underway. david amos was a frequent guest here on our team where he shared his views on politics in the u. k . joining me now for more on this is conservative m p for south and west said david amos, congress election on the same day, 983. is this gentleman we need to have a government who know what they're doing. i don't mind hard work. in fact, the already is it would go back to so as of constituents i had when i used to represent pounds, hold on. i don't think it's anything to do with politics, politics and the number of seats. david, thanks for speaking to us. the europe ian union is challenging its own members states over the way they are pushing back migrants trying to enter the block. in the latest development of the home affairs commissioner summoned the envoys from 3
8:05 am
eastern states, calling the situation on their borders. dyer, archie shall davinsky, has the story. the issue is having to hang its head in over the way its board of forces are treating migrants just trying to cross into the block. this is no longer just about fortress europe and the extensive fence building and surveillance systems that are being put in place on its eastern borders. know in recent weeks, more concerning incidence over the way that my grants are treated to have been exposed in croatia, 3 border police officers have been suspended of being filmed violently pushing back people at the border. mm. and that's not just confined to croatia, greek border officers are also subject to investigations over hundreds of cases of
8:06 am
alleged push backs. mm. now in lithuania, more violations have been reported. the news own board, the chief admitting the problem was wider than previously known. there are, if i remember correctly. now, 17 almost 20. let's say, serious insta reports for the suspicion of the violation of fundamental rights. matthew ania, mcgary went on to say the reason was down to how lithuanian law was being interpreted. and the question was, was that compatible with e you legislation? now lithuania is currently a hot spot for migrant crossings. now lithuania is interior minister says my grants
8:07 am
have to enter at certain points. we have taken decisions in national laws that one can only until su ania through a legal way that is through a boarded check point. oh, by filing their request with our embassy. so these all relatively new rules only adopted in the past few months. and the rule appears to be on a collision course with the e. u. so called shank in voters code that says people seeking asylum cannot be forced back against their will cools, are now coming from the highest ranks for action. shocking finding solid reports had to long line of reports, an unacceptable normalization of push backs violence, fierce asylum seekers and migrants. high time for the cancer of europe, states to investigate effectively. take action, hold each other to account and such serious human rights violations was half words . yet all aid to little too late,
8:08 am
these allegations of migrants refugees being beaten, rob mistreated and forced back over the eastern borders, illegally unknown new. nor have they blew particularly happening in secrets, leaving many to believe that the e u itself may have essentially been complicit for not having already taken more concrete action. all this to you to one to promote, to overly broad moder. we've open society in the past where they wanted to legalize immigration more and is surely for if they are refugees or but to population, or are hostile to any more or to more immigration. and this is why you were we left to demonstrate that each it promotes you was strong or extra extra on our board us. otherwise the national board us will be more and more
8:09 am
erected and strength front like you're like in your own. gary, this is the trends more immigration is, are seen as a security problem because of islamist in 5th crating. so it's more and more sensitive. subject russia's daily death toll from covered 19 has surged beyond 1000 for the 1st time since the started the pandemic, and case numbers are rising fast, especially right here in the capitol. from on this, we can cross live to ortiz, dmitri power. micha. how bad is the situation on the ground, and could you give us the latest figures? well, i've seen that despite all the efforts by the russian government to try and curve the spread of the corona virus, the numbers and fortunately continued to grow and are even reaching record levels over the last 24 hours. over $33000.00 new cases have been confirmed throughout the country by 9 percent of which were apparently asymptomatic. but
8:10 am
a new morbid record was established over a 1000 deaths were reported. it's the highest number of daily cove deaths. there's been since the start of the pandemic now in terms of the numbers 6 and a half 1000 of the new cases were reported from moscow, where authorities recently launched 20 new centers where people can get free express covered tests. that's in addition to the vaccination sites throughout the city, which authorities, they are the key to battling the karone of ours. who look where most mass rapid testing is spreading across europe. moscow is also involved in this experiment. we've opened 20 testing points in the capitals, documents centers and shopping malls, and we will open 30 more points on october. the 18th to cover the broader population. again, i'm calling on everybody to get to not collated because there are currently no other ways to shield yourself from this disease. it's especially important for the elderly now the testing campaign has also spread to several schools where students can now all to receive the free express covered tests. however,
8:11 am
authorities say that testing is only the 1st step and that the key ingredient to defeating the crone of iris is of course vaccinations. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly highlighted the importance of boosting the vaccination rate throughout the country, especially for the sake of those who are at the highest risk of complications from the virus. the health ministry has also come out with reports showing that of all the people who have died from the virus, only less than a fraction of percent were actually vaccinated. once again highlighting the importance of vaccinations. in terms of numbers, at this point, over 51000000 russians have at least received their 1st jap. that's about a 3rd of the population and regions continue to introduce more measures to try and curve the spread of the disease. in some cases, introducing mandatory vaccinations for certain groups of citizens that's injection in addition to restrictions all aimed at trying to curb the rise and numbers and that's throughout the country are choosing to meet republic on top of the story for
8:12 am
us. we know that this is a story that the world is watching, so you'll stay on it force. thanks. i still the come on our to international. we will take you on a journey to russia's extreme north, where a floating nuclear power plant is breathing new life until coastal town, saturday or break. stay with us. this is our t internet. aah! ah ah.
8:13 am
ah that also for eric room identify 2 types of freedom, freedom froman, freedom to and while we all idealized the lisa achieving the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age. this is especially true for africa, which for centuries has been exploited under all sorts of pretext. what needs to happen with the continent to truly take its deserve place in the world? ah ah, welcome back. this is our t international. not going to step aside because we have a special report for you. a remote town in russia's eastern arctic is experiencing
8:14 am
an economic boom after being hooked up to the world's 1st floating atomic power plant. it is now becoming a vital link in the fast growing northern shipping route or cheese consumption. roscoe made the long journey to perfect. oh, we are in a, vic rushes northern mo city where the main job is to survive cold, extreme weather and hostile environment. when the soviet union collapsed, this place used to be goes down. i was want to rushes bustling, seaports along the northern sea route. the country's ambitious project in the arctic aim to reshape international trade project is also the site of a daunting experiment, which made it the 1st city in the world powered by floating nuclear reactors. let's see what life is like in russia's atomic boone town. we are like
8:15 am
a big family emetic nationality people are actually friends with each other here. let me show you something. what do you eat for dinner yesterday? yes, i don't have dinner. i'm on the diet. green onions, 16 through s dollars. some parts of the city still look like a ghost out. the snow still turns blacks are ivank is located in chicago. the country's most eastern region which borders alaska . it's not an island but local, still referred to the rest of russia as the mainland. perhaps because of how isolated the field, for instance, there are no permanent rows or railway tracks leading to perfect. your only options would be ice breakers or airplanes. while we're not into that yet, but we're already tired of traveling. ha has been what's 24? no. over 24 hours is for left moscow and we're still flying across russia. first we
8:16 am
flew to another severest. then further east to the city of mugger done ha! then we had to stay here overnight and now it's our final lack a 2 hour fly to pick on what on the soviet era airplanes with the a and 28 that took us to perfect, have the smallest restroom i've ever been int, but no complaints. we're, we're going, it's not about comfort. flew one of the 1st things that strike you into that is that there are no trees just
8:17 am
nothing. the land here is so frozen, nothing grows on it. and that makes the landscape bleak and sadly boring. so to live in things up coloring buildings, an orange or pink, is probably not the worst idea. the next notorious for harsh with, but it's not just about the cold. a zach is actually so ferocious there are videos of people falling old were thrown across the street not being able to stand up with a local resident soya soccer shows of her winter outfit. he mink fur coat,
8:18 am
she knows animal advocates won't like it and she doesn't care in perfect. if you're not dress warm enough since you die. you shouldn't have burned the nurse. now cold, it had been winter and today the temperature drops as low as minus 45 minus put 8 degrees celsius gets very cold and you still go out on the street. of course, harsh climate. it takes every aspect of the next life. let me show you something because of the permafrost, most of the cities communications run above ground and are hidden inside concrete boxes like this one right here. and this also became a popular alternative for regular sidewalks which some times are impassable, especially in winters i. so as they say one in rome, or in fact, we're gonna hop on one of the communication lines and get around like real locals
8:19 am
with most of the residential buildings in projects have been built on pilots. the space left between the 1st floor and permanently frozen ground helps to keep houses warm, but it looks like somebody has got even further in fighting the cold. there was a building in fact that has empty glass bottles fit right into the was mean you can literally see this from the outside. this extra layer of air is if i was to save up heat, i've never heard of that technology. i'm not sure if it works and there is no way to check because the building has been abandoned. but i, i guess if you want to survive in chicago, you gotta stay creative. the city still keeps lots of soviet era structures and monuments, most of which have been around since back was founded in 9030. i was gold, another precious metals that attracted people and turned the place into an arctic
8:20 am
blue town initially to vac was a place of at least 3 glock camps. cheap labor came in handy in the rapidly growing settlement. the collapse of the soviet union had a devastating effect on the deck with almost no support from the mainland. the city quickly lost half of its population and lot of residential buildings were left completely abandoned. some parts of the city looked like a ghost out. people were so desperate to leave in the 1990. sometimes they traded entire apartments were every plane tickets to moscow. after years of exposure to extreme, whether there is no way people can live in these houses again, and it's too expensive to tear them down. to what nature has done to these buildings. the new people leave something behind the wilderness claims. it almost as if there is a message and gets his garden or you might be next. how
8:21 am
do you feel about the city? does it feel like it's on its death row or the opposite bias in the bottle? i don't know why it's developing not to face the district has been rebuilt completely concealed and you houses and you power plant was built on and you touch has been black. so there is live infinity it, yes, of course. there is one particular project that breathed new life into the city and how did to move on from the devastation of the 19 ninety's via course, as they put herself on the map as a side of a daunting experiment. it's the 1st city in the world that lives off a floating nuclear power plant. seriously, this huge thing you see right there is basically a c platform would to submarine style atomic reactors on it. no one has ever done this before. the power plant named academic la monassa,
8:22 am
was assembled in saint petersburg and then moved to pivot by sea, turned out to be way cheaper and easier than bringing thousands of constrain in workers and tons of materials to remote region like chicken. russia plans on building a small fleet of these floating stations and use them to power remote facilities and maybe even offshore oil and gas platforms. but basically, system of only the top i was brought up on everyone is concerned, said on the motive. there is a c store or to nami. what's going to happen to atomic reactor said to remember, the acronym is this, her exit florida is that a stress tests were conducted because it was showed that even if a semana rentals offer morning line only and we get carried ashore with our safety is still insured. and radiation emissions will be prevented kemesha in the water around academic la monassa, we sort seals, which seemed perfectly fine about swimming around the nuclear reactors. people here are hopeful that switching to atomic energy will also reduce to the ext reliance on coal. that remains its main source of power. you see the snow still turns blacks
8:23 am
and times because of the emissions that are coming out of the old coal power plant . we can see this plan right from here with nick in search for one refuge, we came across a local library that's apparently quite popular. mainly because of the extremely slow internet in the city which makes watching netflix or youtube. a torture and having a poor choice of other entertainment people actually read books and pivot. the 2 ladies working at the library gladly offered as hot beverages and for their hearts out on what they love and hate about the city of berkeley store. prices are a heated topic and pivot in august. i read sometimes when i'm in the shop while i look at some items and i think if i can afford them or not yell though, i really want them. but i rarely buy cheese ish because it costs
8:24 am
a 101200 repulsion rarely by hand because it was also real expensive. what did you eat for dinner yesterday? yeah, i don't have deer diet. x rated among rushes most expensive cities, which makes sense because 90 percent of goods are shipped from mainland russia. things like food, household items and clothes cost way more than say in moscow. just look at the price back here. cucumber. 11 us dollars per kilo tomato, $11.00 per kilo, and there are just 2 tomatoes left to in the tire shop. now this one garlic 15 us dollars per kilo, and it's just for maybe 5 times more. i've been saying moscow where i live and that's one my favorite it's. busy green orleans $16.00 for one p. busy insane each time
8:25 am
here in the know we usually eat frozen food. if you look here, you can see that everything is in the freezer, berries are frozen, everything is frozen. if we get fresh groceries, it's when they're brought over biplane, things like sausages or we want to buy plane. yes, that's crazy. why should keep in mind that that is a small and close knit committee of law, the worth 5000 people. and for instance, if a person is short in cash, he can borrow from a shop. see that? assuming copy book, the shopkeeper, quickly put away, it's a hand written list of those. you owe money to the store. if you've live next to someone for 20 years and now they still live here with us, then you can say there's no escape from the submarine. they'll come and take what they need to day and another day they'll return the money for the real disaster for vac is when a supply she doesn't come on time saying because of bad weather. therefore some local shops break the law by not getting
8:26 am
a read of expired products just in case there's a box right here, expired in june. look. so it's 5 months ago, but i just bought it with is to percent discount. and it's a common thing in the deck when we show the expired juice box to perfect deputy mayor. he scratch, he's had for about a minute. local authorities are aware of the problem, but there is little they can do until that can be supplied regularly all year round . we have appropriate items and shops. we don't always have on a shop owners. my office received a phone whenever we have a supply period from june to november, fulfill most of the fresh groceries will come closer to the end of this period. comes one letter. gus are possible, and this is how prices are decided because it all gets destroyed and no one wants to have financial losses. i live with the edge of the world is no picnic. if you want to survive in a place like this, you have to stick together a rule that everyone here seems to leave fine. we have
8:27 am
a different mentality to people on the mainland. we are like a big family, and that's the nationality. people are actually friends with each other here. this door, a cold and expensive him a. yeah. that love my town. very much. honestly. i gave birth to amazing boy and i've met the man of my life. headache has given me a lot of what makes people staying this down in that if it that nobody knows and looked at if everyone wants to move to the mainland, but they come back cut off. so now that you've seen him come back as well, congratulations with the new revolutionary power plant, which brings jobs in higher salaries. things begin to look out for the city. it's not electricity per se, that makes things change. it's the people. and that's the true power of feedback in russia's arctic. ah
8:29 am
ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct what is true, what is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows or small chilled ocean with on what it says i'm it also a noise little so
8:30 am
i a lot. would you think that that would look as if that's something you would prevent them with a cool got that's an actual percentage of us. yep. of properties was for what fin the but only the filled with what that's for the what like you with nice seems to them often when he's got the west, when i called them. so will the show up for phillip keeps them from the, from the news or kind of what does that still the same i was giving you this global . oh gosh slippery news. i will continue to won wonderful, scared little school to live with but are one why do you think that us them? i mean.
