this is about what the government promised was happening when it really wasn't. and 5 years after the bombshell dossier on the legit trump russia collusion, the former british spy who compiled it finally admits it's not 100 percent accurate . ah, oh, it's 6 pm here in the russian capital and you're watching our to international. my name is donald quarter. welcome to the program. there's been a fiery exchange in the european parliament after the polish prime minister launched a tirade against you. institutions accusing them of both overstepping their powers and even blackmailing his country ortiz, charlotte davinsky has the story. firey doesn't go half the way of describing some of the accusations that have been thrown. there was mud slinging throughout the session at the european pol and by the polish prime minister,
11:02 am
and also by m e p's right back at him. this was meant to be the opportunity for the polish by minister to come to the european parliament to try and heal these, divided his divisions between his country and at the european union. his speech seemed to have done the exact opposite with emmy peas accusing him of leading towards a government of totalitarianism and undermining the e. u. its foundations itself now might have i had skis, talked about some of the issues that you rip was facing. he refused to acceptance and it was not right for emmy please, to essentially blackmail other countries within the european union by threatening to withdraw to hold back their funds. and he said that the constitutional law in poland would remain supreme to that of e you, law. and he said that the idea of changing that would move the you towards
11:03 am
a fully fledged ungovernable state, which is not what members signed up for. now during his speech, she was clearly overstaying his welcome when he was interrupted and told to wrap up version or that is yeah, yep, of in the bridge for them of our managers, for i'm in the for 30 bravo. you have to clock on the van. no. shes so chairman, i was told by the office of david solider that i was a located at 3035 minutes. so i will use my time. i cannot confirmed as access and i threw some form that says it, i see autopay have to go nothing completely i'm. i'm coming to my as i've done the service, there me please had plenty to say they said that the polish mp was slightly leading his country to leave the european union. one said they thought it was nigel for raj who was talking at that session. while other emmy peas took the opportunity to
11:04 am
congratulate the anti government protests that had been taking place in poland and suggesting perhaps it, they should continue mix. i went to thank those polls. he took to the streets who showed their faces to other poles. hundreds of thousands of them. real patriots took the streets with national flags, crowd polish flag, and european flags in their hands. it is a patriot, should not be a nationalist. we have all this to you denials. but the truth is, your actions are a sly way to lead poland out of the union. unilateral eagle actions cannot be accepted and will have consequences, the sinister game that your playing is very clear. the sinister game is that you're putting upon the size, the constitutional court, inside the polar and better politicized. those additional court is criticized by who, by the european court of justice during your speech. i was not sure if or worse, listening to your to nigel,
11:05 am
fresh to what you have done is in fact putting an existential tract for your country. this is a road to exit. there is no room for alternative solutions. in other words, what you are proposing here and the day it's a constitutional backseat. the commission resident ursula vaughan delane weight was demanded that she in the commission act immediately. emmy piece called on her to reject the recovery funds for poland. they called on her and the commission to trigger the rule of law conditionality, mechanism v d l herself vaughan, de leon said that the commission would do everything to ensure that it protect european citizens from threats. we cannot, and we will not allow our common values to be put at risk. a commission will act and the options are all known. first, option on fingerprints,
11:06 am
where we legally challenged the judgement of the polish constitutional court. another option is the conditionality, mechanism, and other financial tools. the polish government has to explain to us how it intends to protect your pin money given this ruling of they are constitutional court. this was supposed to be an opportunity to make amends, the eula rift, to bring poland back into the fold, the bosom of the e. u. what transpired was any thing, but that with the amy piece, basically realizing and saying out loud that they don't accept the pause that poland is on. judging by the session on tuesday, it seems that those divisions between poland and the rest of the you are even deeper and wider. british families who lost loved ones to cove it in last year's care home crisis or taking legal action against the government. they
11:07 am
claimed the authorities must be held accountable for decisions that had fatal consequences. ortiz shoddy edwards dashti breaks down the case. 2 daughters who lost their fathers in cove at head cow homes at the start of the pandemic, are now serving the government. it's a landmark action, not just in terms of a failure to protect the vulnerable, so responsibility for aggravating the risk while victory won't undo their loss. they hope it may help to protect others. i do not want anyone else to go through what we have been through as a family. i feel terrible guilt. i feel as though she was locked in to die. met hancock's protective freeing statement was a lie. the defendants have provided no evidence of measures to put a protective for him around care homes in just 3 months from march to june last year, some stifles heated for living and care homes died from the virus in england and wales, with some official reports blaming. so. 2 inconsistent,
11:08 am
reckless and appalling government policies for the huge death, all this weeks case against the department for health and social care, once it held to account this case will give thousands of families a sense that justice has been done. if we're, when, what happened to the residence of care homes in the pandemic was a national scandal, the government's approach to protect and vulnerable care home residents during the 1st wave of the pandemic is one of the most devastating failures in the morton era . rather than their home being a safe place, it became a breeding ground for a deadly disease. if the government had been completely honest at the time, instead of people in nursing homes and town homes been almost a forgotten lot, which we still are. but it's not about that this is about people's lives. this is about what the government promised was happening when it really wasn't. everybody was involved that was treating this virus, which is like you say is on known virus and an unknown entity. who knows what we
11:09 am
had to do or what we could have done differently. and these are things that we need to learn from. oh, the goldman, sheila learned allies, i'm going to get you anything. the failures surrounding her homes are one of the biggest scandals of the pandemic for mass discharge of out of the patient, some hospitals to can homes without testing or isolation. and who can forget when the government says it happens, wouldn't be affected at the beginning of the pandemic? of course, we now know that they were the worst affected earlier this year and into 12 of march. the government's own official advice was and i'm quoting from it remains very unlikely that people receiving care any care home will become infected. it wasn't true that the advice said that or government guidance published on the 25th of february of 2020 said twice. it was very unlikely people receiving care and care homes will be infected. this advice was withdrawn on the 13th of march. a few
11:10 am
months later, boris johnson tried to ship the plane saying it was cath homes that didn't follow the rules. many didn't really follow the procedures in the way that they could have so well, this week's case is ultimately about 2 families search for justice. it runs far deeper, alleging a string of government blunders, but it may also end up serving as some small sol as for all those who lost loved ones as a result of those very mistakes, i was the 10 people that we have done it. i could say that i was 99.9 percent. sure . sure that i'm. all of them died as a result of cove it but i think we only had 3 positive tests because that's all it was available at that time. and 2 of those were testing hospital in one was the one that i false false. we did not tests in care homes. my hancock stood on television and quite often at 5 o'clock when he was doing the briefing with the prime minister . we as a nursing home were standing watch this briefing with interest obviously to see
11:11 am
what the changes were, what was happening on a daily basis to be to see, ma hancock stood in front of the cameras saying all care homes are now being tested . we weren't at all, absolutely not. as foreign minister has accused nato of burying co operation with moscow after the expulsion of several envoys by the alliance prompted moscow to several diplomatic ties. artillio patrol reports for now moscow has a mission in brussels, which is where the natal h q is. and the purpose of that mission is to deal directly with the nato officials, of course, but just in 10 days on november, the 1st the mission will shut its doors completely. why? because as surg elaborate has just put it in sati, nato has pretty much done everything to room dialogue. opportunities with moscow
11:12 am
altogether of nato buried the idea of consultation with russia. we believe nato should take the 1st step in improving relations with the way to west is reacting to . russia's response to nato is an attempt to shift blame. it demonstrates a lack of diplomatic culture. however, as the russian side is putting it, it's not that the russian government is keen to get rid of this channel of communication. i. e, maintaining its mission in the belgian capital. it's just that. earlier this month, a group of russian diplomats were kicked out of brussels altogether. meaning that only 10 mission employees could stay there. and the russian foreign ministry is saying that with these 10 diplomats and simply impossible for the mission to function. and that's why they have made this decision. so the result is these critical remark spite surg, the lab rav and it looks like relations between at moscow and nato,
11:13 am
are only continuing to deteriorate, no matter what. however, when it comes to some of the bilateral contacts between the, perhaps the number one country nato, that is the us, of course, and moscow when it comes to specific stories like afghanistan, there could be progress, for example, because there is a new envoy that was appointed by washington in afghanistan and he, according to surgery lab, rob has already been in touch with russian diplomats and sergio lab. rob said that he'll be welcome in moscow when it comes to consultations specifically about the things that are happening. incredible and elsewhere. and again, stand. now to get more on the possible implications of these developments, we go live now to the director general of the international think tank pakistan house mohammed all sarge of ed. thank you for very much for joining us on the program. i want to start with this deterioration of relations between russia, nato. what do you think it means for the wider world?
11:14 am
you know, thank you very much. first of all, i think it's absolutely disaster at this time because as long as we know that russia is trying to stabilize the south asia and especially enough gone on and other parts of the region we, i mean this timing is really crucial. we do not understand the intentions, but as i, i, my assessment is that a nato wants to seek to engage negatively russia and is wants to control and many played the outreach of russia, which absolute lead against international law and moms and international diplomacy . also the course of diplomacy, which is being applied against russia at different forums. we learned that and germany that refused to, for example, give a license to r t. and there are many other, or, you know, if we look around, there are many, many international agreements. an international organization where the rest would try to smother, or course russia into their direction, which of course,
11:15 am
is absolute in may not be acceptable and would not be acceptable. doris. yeah. so i think it will, it would have a larger implication simply because if russia wanted, and it has been directly consulting nato, because of nato's involvement, different conflicts and nato's interventions. and the russian region are close to the ratio and she has the right to, of course, defend and countered that kind of strategic influences. i think this tentative design which the, at the moment, you know, i tend to say that, but i think nato is looking for a new job because they are completely at the moment. whatever job they have initiated have been failed. actually looking. i've gone on in other countries. so in my personal view, this is a new study designed to engage negatively russia and try to get extra mileage and distraction from what they have done in afghanistan. and this, to me is a serious thing. well, i'd like to stay on the top of a topic of afghanistan,
11:16 am
actually, what kind of implications do you think this is going to have for security in the country and also now that us troops are out of there? what is that gonna say about washington's influence in the region? i think to be honest influencer in the region, washington will not have any unless and until they really support the future of the bees. enough gone. it's not like, for example, richie and chinese and all other in any initiative which is directed that stabilizing of gone his thought, trying to prevent the drug trade, trying to, you know, prevent the violence, trying to prevent dodd dice playing the transnational terrorist organization implicating other the countries of the region, it would be definitely important that washington must understand that. but as far as the influence concerned, i don't think so that in a county san they will have any influence. yes, internationally,
11:17 am
definitely with the western countries, they tried to sway their opinion in favor of their policies, which is detrimental to find people to a farm society of wellness on and beyond. and that should be the concern of the major parties and the country that was supposed to russia, china pockets on and other countries. because those who are facilitating, for example, box on, has remarkably facilitated all the hot dogs in order to ensure that less wireless take place. and in order to ensure that the international policy makers must understand that the region needs a breathing space. and if we do not provide that the which, which organization we take, the place is of course, the international terrorist organization. and that is the main concern. i think at the moment i and i've gone hassan. all the efforts require initiative from russia, china, all parks, phone and any of the regional countries must be supported by washington and the rest and allies. this will at least, you know,
11:18 am
deplete deer did negative evenings which they had for the when the in the past few years. couple of he especially in the boss of withdrawal. we have seen the deposition after deposition in the us senate in congress implicating their own organization. the general, the politician that they failed and they demonstrated very less and they were, they were, in other words, inadequate and incompetent to control the situation on ground in afghanistan. well, how do you see the near future playing out for the dentist and do you think that the taliban is going to be able to insure security in the region or should neighboring countries prepare for the worst? i think that one can ensure the security thought was previously called was they have cut down on all the drugs they were supported. but at this point in time, i think tal bon needs, regional and international support to empower them in order to specially on the
11:19 am
economic aspect because their funds have been stopped by united states. all the salaries to nurses, educational staff, the doctors on the ground, as long as they're being paid and the country is being function. because look, we must know and understand. he's just one month or soul. maybe they are in control of poverty or not. they're still understanding of what my support goes for the piece and upon people which is led by a fun people. while the support system should be provided by international organization, international communities specially doors. what at the moment trying to facilitate? i think the west should also must understand that in the last 20 years, the balance sheet which they had is completely they can see the liabilities after liabilities. all the thing they can do right now to rectify their last this ditch effort to support a lot of people and create
11:20 am
a situation conducive environment. so it should not get out of hand of taliban. and subsequently, we should not fall into and why meant off terrorism and instability? because all these economic activity in saltisha and other international to see international waters of the trade communication from central asia. we also all these countries must be concerned about it. so i think my, my assessment is dig and be only one way to empower them to provide them some kind of economic assistance which were already been given to the previous government. and the previous government, we all know had tried to best as well. but unfortunately, the fallen apart the entire con, dialogue didn't happen the way they wanted to. so i think the best way forward is to keep them engaged and facilitate them and power them. they will provide the
11:21 am
security as long as they have the tools to do it mom and also our job ed director general of the think tank pakistan house. thank you very much for joining us. to the author of a bombshell dossier on a legit trump, russia collusion is standing by his claims while also admitting they are not 100 percent true. former british spy, christopher steel has spoken publicly on his findings for the 1st time ever. the document was compiled in 2016 and contain detailed allegations of a conspiracy between trump associates and the kremlin. there were also some saucy details about donald trump, supposedly escapades in the moscow hotel room. however, none of those allegations have been proven. and the f b, i later published heavily redacted pages showing the agency had actually paid steel for his work, but cut him off as a source after he disclosed his us intelligence links to a 3rd party. years later, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the steel dose ca and how it
11:22 am
became, how it came into being in general. as more, i guess the reports, the steel dossier has been one of the most mocked derided but, but also talked about reports in modern political history. the spot being mostly dismissed as, as a work of fiction. it has just refused to die. and christopher steel is back again . hyping and defending. he's much maligned dossier. christopher still isn't. it isn't hero, is he traitor, crisper steals a guy who can to fight with 2 presidents, donald trump and vladimir. and he's lived to tell the tale. mind the spoilers there aren't any new revelations or perverted details. as with the 1st doughty vis tom, chris tries to defend the dossier the multiple falsehoods and inaccurate season. make believe molly tries, unprepared to accept that not everything in the dosier is 100 percent accurate. i
11:23 am
have yet to be convinced that that is one of them. yes, he says there are some things in my dos here that are literally made up, but he sticks, it seems by the p tape. his allegation that the russians film donald trump with urinating prostitutes, and he has a stella argument to back it up, prove me wrong. he says, you tell him that no one's ever seen the staple heard of it, and that he's the only source ad. well, rad doesn't convince chris, it hasn't needed to be released, because i think the russians felt they'd got pretty good value out of donald trump when he was president of the us. the most remarkable thing in my opinion, is what still dossier supporters. a saying they can't defend the dos hair itself, it's, it's so full of holes and lies. so they've come up with a different method. it was the russians who painted the dossier by purposefully
11:24 am
feeding christopher steele disinformation. it's very likely that the russians planted dis, information in and demand other information that may have been truthful because that's exactly again the way that they operate. the victims of christopher steals reporting have also reacted michael cohen, who the dossier accused of secret meetings with a russians in europe. he had the f. b, i get involved. of course, they found no evidence of any such meetings ever taking place, but regardless mister co indeed react. he said that he was pleased that christopher steele had cruel that of the pop just long enough to make up a few more stories. i'm not too sure that everyone is as pleased abs. chris, that once was quite enough. there's nothing groundbreaking in of course he's being, he's being interviewed by a very sympathetic, quote unquote. journalist stephanopoulos has been an operative for bill clinton in
11:25 am
the democratic party for a long time. although looking at the mainstream coverage, this sort of rehabilitation of christopher steel seems to be, seems to be coming around. you have to scratch or has even the f b, i stopped using him as a confidential human in form of because i found that he was too unreliable. i think one very important aspect is the collusion of the u. s. mainstream media in this, they absolutely fell down their jobs were expected. someone like steal to be a liar. we expected the people that hired him to be pretty dodgy people. of course, that's the case. but we did, we at least once, would expect. i would have expected the u. s. mainstream media u. s. media to have looked into some of these stories before reporting them as if they were fact cove, it tightening its grip on the russian capital, moscow's mayor has announced a number of new restrictions. they include a strict stay at home order for the most vulnerable, and it comes as record new highs of both cases and fatalities are being recorded on
11:26 am
an almost daily basis. let's get more on the measures from our corresponded to be tree power. okay, there dmitri now moscow's moving up a gear and the fight against the virus. take us through what's planned? well, yeah, basically, the cases in russia continued to grow. unfortunately, and in moscow is especially noticeable us. moscow's mayor sergei abandon has now introduced several new co it measures which will come into effect on monday and are set to last until the end of february. now, as you mentioned, these met met measures are of the 1st of all that unvaccinated people over the age of 60, as well as those suffering from chronic illnesses are now required to work from home accompanies must now also again follow work from home mandate. i basically, 30 percent of workers are now required to be sent home and companies working in the service industry must now have at least 80 percent of their workers vaccinated, which used to be 60 percent. so now it's up. now, all these measures were introduced in the mayor's open letter,
11:27 am
in which he outlined the crisis in the city and pleaded the elderly to get vaccinated because of them 5000000 people in moscow who have now at least received their 1st job. it seems that a large portion of those who are at the highest risk have still decided to omit the vaccination. thanks to must vaccination, we have created a significant lay of people protected from cove it this autumn. the epidemiological situation is seriously complicated due to the increase in the incidence of saws and other respiratory diseases which was not the case last year. and the most alarming thing is the high incidence of covered among the older generation. in this situation, we must take urgent measures to protect the older generation and of the vulnerable populations. now in the letter, the mayor also provided some statistics, for example, that right now, the infection rate in moscow is 4 times of that seen just a couple of months ago. back in august around 46000 new cases. every single week,
11:28 am
also hospitalizations are up 212021508 day. but the most alarming fact, ezra, that 60 percent of those people who have required hospitalization are people over the age of 60, who also comprise about 86 percent of the people who have died from cove it. and in most cases these people were not vaccinated. now the authorities of hope to these measures will impact drastically impact these of this rise in cases and no hospitalizations, but how are despite their efforts right now, the cases continue to grow and that's alarmingly honored. are at an all time high with around a 1000 as being reported every day for the past couple of days, which has authorities basically pleading citizens to finally get vaccinated to put an end to the spike parties. dmitri polk reporting for moscow. thanks a lot for those details. well, that's all the news for this. our stay tuned for more in just about 30 minutes. ah
11:29 am
11:30 am
pardon we choose to look for common ground. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime. but old wound still haven't hailed your interest in going into dunlab. and the only reason is because on the coming out to a nickel, freedom. okay. give me a bowl said cutting me on the bus at the station. we notice that i just, they seem courtroom, which with thousands of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. late bought about, i used to yell for fiesta, bitter my old roll borders of yellow element to this day mothers still search for grown children while adults look in hope for their birth parents.
