8:01 pm
. ah broadcasts more direct from studios in moscow. this is arch international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now staff shortages, soaring covered cases and pressure on the national health service. the n h s. have all led to another crisis in england. it's been reported that in parts of the country, patients are waiting for almost 50 hours to get a bed, an accident and emergency units. in one case, a patient reportedly spent 47 hours in the royal preston hospital in the country's north, while in the southern county of suffolk, a teenager with serious mental health problems and had to wait for almost 48 hours to the emergency room. according to local media, the areas and a chest foundation trust and the weight was due to a lack of specialist facilities. luc winchester, whose relative was affected by the crisis,
8:02 pm
told us what happened in their case. he woke up 11 o'clock and his legs just wouldn't work and he fell out of bed. we didn't find him until 3 o'clock where my dad's going to get cooler, where he shouldn't heard from him. when we call for the ambulance, initially they said not to leave him. oh, in case the best spinal injury off or wait a couple of hours my my dad sort of started trying to hurry them up a little bit. try finding no, no, no. and again, to ask when you sent us an estimate arrival that direct him. so 111 within 909 to and from there eventually we spoke to a chappy, suggested how to move him back into his seat and had to get him up. and we did that is improving, but he probably still required some medical assistance, but its insinuated to us that was not even a senior. they said, would you, would you like to cancel the ambulance on everything but the ambulance that day and
8:03 pm
at that point we took him at the value and said, yeah, okay, we'll cancel the and then we'll give him his dinner and get him into bed, et cetera. course over the night i stayed the night make sure that you know, the night is condition worsens and in the morning i school for another ambulance i reports say 91 percent of hospital beds were occupied in england as of last friday. that's as the number of people waiting for hospital treatment there, hit a high record. according to the n h s, almost 6000000 people are on waiting lists and the coming winter will only intensify the pressure. now at the same time, but it's health secretary has admitted there aren't enough staff to operate to the countries emergency telephone lines 999-1115 gene javi added that the detailed plan of action is being put together and would be unveiled soon. but luke winchester is not convinced every step of the way the miss managed the crisis.
8:04 pm
aside from the vaccine rolled out, i don't have any faith in the current government and the people on the ground who are working really hard, like the paramedics, like the people answering the cause. they're not necessarily always getting, given the clearest information. you know, i, i really believe that when the 1st from 1112299999922111 . i'm sure that they believe that's what you know, that's what we come to do. there's no real simple answers to where i think they're going to fix that because their actions so far appeared to be per unit. on tuesday, the u. k. registered the highest number of daily cova deaths since march, and the government extended its emergency powers related to the chronic virus for another 6 months. demonstrators including anti vectors took to the streets to protest and other. this and other pandemic measures. the german police have warned that the country's border with
8:05 pm
poland is at risk of collapse. that's a mid, a massive influx of migrants crossing into the you from neighboring bellows or cheese. peter oliver has more of the story. the european union is placing mounting pressure on minsk over refugees looking to enter the e u via bella ruth. now the german foreign minister has been among a group of, of senior german politicians that have pulled absolutely no punches whatsoever in their comments. hi, co must. the foreign minister has accused alexander lucas shanker, our rights of running an illegal migrant transport network, is it on sooner will we in europe are being confronted with the fact that lucas suncoast using refugees as a tool to put pressure on european nations quicker. suncoast nothing short of the head of a state run smuggling rate with arthur shift in no bill in and through belarus, stay tokenized or at least state supported smuggling activities are taking place. the regime in belarus is now considerably expanded. the list of countries from
8:06 pm
where people can answer without a visa, that's a form of hybrid threats, where my grants are being used as a political well horse. they offer the interior minister of germany here. you just heard. there's also said that he wants to coordinate with his polish counterpart in order to have joint border patrols a long, not polish, or bellow russian border. that border basically between belarus and the european union. there has been a deal done between brussels and baghdad. though in this particular issue, that is to make sure that no planes will be flying refugees from a rock into bell a route. so the route that quite a few people had taken. now, this airbag on flights is going to be in place at least until the end of the year. but what we're talking about deals, and particularly when it comes to refugees minds go back to 2015 to the start of the migrant crisis, which saw over 1300000 people seek asylum inside the european union. a deal at
8:07 pm
that time was done with turkey. turkey of course, was the country that the vast majority of people who arrived inside the e. you traveled across at the time. billions were given towards or promised, at least, and certainly hundreds of millions given to turkey, trying to make sure that people either remained in turkey or certainly didn't make or try to make that crossing. there still a lot of reserve judgment when it comes to exactly how successful that deal was. and however, any sign of a deal being offered towards belarus, anne is non existent at the moment. in fact, the brochure president, alexander lucas shanker, says that he's doing everything he can possibly to fight illegal immigration, but says that all he gets in return from his european partners is political pressure and sanctions. you're stifling us information only. you are doing it methodically and collectively. you're trying to destroy our economy and expect us
8:08 pm
to spend hundreds of millions of dollars protecting your cheer, political interests, like before. you must be crazy to think we will support you if you want us to help . you have to take steps in that direction rather than try to stifle us. it's hopeless. well, despite it not being what anybody in brussels wants or certainly not what they want to talk about publicly, at least it does seem that one of the only real ways to get to the crux of this problem may be for the a you to work directly with bella roofs. dr. steven godric of the institute of european studies in belgrade described brussels attitude to belarus as colonial. so she's being treated quite differently from turkey, can see the clear difference in language and in deeds. and there is this sense. i will say oregon when i, when brussels is talking to them, sounds that i would even compared to their postcolonial cost. i would say this has
8:09 pm
a lot to do with the window hybrid warfare with, with hybrid warfare against russia and billers is being seen as, let's say, influence russia are from the russel administration. and of course, from their western neighbors, the baltic states and poland. so i do think we have more concerned for geo politics here than for the human rights the you has awarded. it's a soccer of prize for freedom of thought to russian opposition figure electing a volley. the accolade is given out annually by the european parliament to recognize what it calls, perseverance for human rights on quarter. got more details earlier from charlotte. davinsky is, is considered to be the use top human rights prize, but there are concerns about how it's been used in recent years. we've heard now on
8:10 pm
wednesday that the 2021 recipient is alexi. navarro lee, an opposition figurehead in russia who's currently serving jail time for breaching bail conditions. just want to give you a bit of background on what's led to a valley being in jail at the moment. i lost in august, he was on a flight on his way to moscow, where he fell ill. he was taken to a russian hospital and then later requested that he was moved to a facility in germany. i. he was moved to that facility in germany and it was after he arrived there that they were allegations from the doctors that he had been poisoned with a substance known as normal shock. now at since then, we had accusations from government start just germany, but also across europe, accusing the russian government of being behind that poisoning. however, russian medical officials and officials at the hospital where he was treated in
8:11 pm
russia, say that ad there was no trace of the poison when he was being treated that he did return to russia and as a result of breaching his rail conditions, he was sent to serve out time in prison and that's where he is currently as recipient of this top are human rights award from the european union parliament. both charlotte, you mentioned that there are just a, just the beginning of your talk there, that there's been some concern about the prize being politicized. can you tell us a little bit more about that? yes, that's right. some ne, p 's themselves hate out it this award saying it's being used as a political weapon by the european union. and that's because the recipient doesn't just get 50000 euros and a statue. they also get the backing of the european parliament themselves. and there has been a just in the, over the last few years, the choice of the norman knees and then the people who get this accolade really
8:12 pm
have something in common. and that is that many of them have been calling for government change in their own country. that start in 2020. when at the bell, a russian opposition at received this award at the time when the e. u is encouraging protests in belarus against the elected government fair in 2018 . it was a ukrainian film director who was in jail for plotting tara in 2017. it was the venezuelan opposition at a time when the e. u was sanctioning president madura of venezuela. and in fact, it was that year that emmy peas really hate out really started to get angry about this award at saying that the you had undermined dialogue and venezuela their words not mine. and as a result were boycotting the ceremony that year. they also accused the e u, of instrumental lazing. human rights is the use of this award that the price is also been awarded to political leaders in the past. but some have since fallen foul
8:13 pm
of the you including ang, since the key in my, and man as a result, she's been stripped of her rights to be part of this exclusive community. the addition now of alexi near valley will increase those thoughts from many that really this is an award that is being used as a political tool by the european union, against those government sit dislikes or disagrees with. if a european parliament award but one german n e p is far from happy at the decision. maximilian crosses the west, applying double standards towards political opposition and that's unacceptable. no direct. good, mister yvonne, that when he came up to a clear races then he was in russia for having fought for making him with putting the money to
8:14 pm
a company and paying taxes and that he won't be reach. now we reach now, but the situation that it becomes ridiculous and especially because because we have a neighboring country, which is the ukraine. and there is an elective parliament with the rest and be a government in putting a real elected opposition leader into arrest. but all the other hand, we have a at least doubt food figure in russia. so we thank you. and then we say, ok, did this take her in the got a human life, american human human rights was on the other hand to even recognize that we have a problem when it comes to refunding and double span of this hyper chrisy makes the predictable isn't who was arch international still on the way taliban
8:15 pm
leaders have been in moscow for multinational. talk to tackle afghanistan, humanitarian crisis, and security there worsens. it's our next door. when we come back, this is our to international. stay with us. ah. is there now a dual system of justice many think so for example, a former senior f b i a face you lied repeatedly to his bosses, but now is exonerated. but a former head of the national security council did not lie to be f, b i. and his life was destroyed. where is the justice in that the poor in america have gone poor, and they've been vastly more numerous. and the billing our class have gotten more a 1000000000 area to a great extent. but the government reports in the aggregate so that they always take a foreign billionaire and they put them together. they say to put those 2 together,
8:16 pm
we don't see any inflation. well, this worked for about 20 years and people were fooled by this. and anyone who complained was considered to be anti american. well, now, because of the mis allocation of breast for so long in the ricochet, the boomerang burst coming back into the system. we now have catastrophic system failure. ah ah, welcome back. this is art international. now with the security situation in afghanistan, deteriorating taliban leaders have been in moscow for talks of focusing on the humanitarian crisis that has gripped the war torn nation 11 countries to part in the conference. our correspondent, when i got the of reports from venue,
8:17 pm
this is been the biggest international events attended by the taliban. yet 11 countries present. all of us got astonished neighbors as well as russia, china, india, representing near enough half of the world's population. vm here wasn't a concrete objective to agree on something. it was rather to discuss where to go from here because we're at something of a stalemate where by the taliban rules of kansas fog, but the international community east largely reluctant to recognize the taliban as the official government, as the official rulers of, of got a sudden and on the death, an intended consequences that has been that the life and struggle of ordinary afghans has been getting worse. and that was in the joint statement that all sides involve at his side. as of now, a 3rd of the population is on the verge of starvation. taliban has said that it is open to foreign aid, foreign humanitarian aid, food medicines being delivered,
8:18 pm
so long as the conditions attached don't violate their sovereignty or religious principles. one, a peaceful afghanistan is in the interest of all parties involved, just as we want, positive relations with others. we also see positive relations from the outside. we are committed to the principles of islamic sharia law. any aid or assistance that has been given. if it's in line with ours law principles, we don't have a problem with it. we're already receiving some humanitarian aid. the session itself a all the delegates met to place bod, close to us. we were told there were many things that they agreed on, such as the need to stop naco trafficking out of, of got us on the need to address the security situation that the, the attacks by isis, al qaeda and other terrorist groups that will, to also disagreements disagreements about the makeup of the afghan government to tell about, insisting that it's government is inclusive other countries, such as russia saying that it isn't as inclusive as it needs to be. that this
8:19 pm
government does is packed with taliban officials, hard like taliban officials, with passion at new city, the predominant added by the efficiency. there is very little representation, but by ethnic minorities, all political dissidents, political opposition groups. and that is something that must change, but russia also says that the, the urgent power t, now at east to make sure humana aaron aid is delivered to i've got to stop by every one for you which is moved is do we are convinced that it's time to mobilize the efforts of the world community to provide cobble with effective financial, economic and she monetary and assistance in order to prevent a crisis and to curb migration flows. we expect responsible behavior towards afghan citizens. first and foremost from western countries. this 20 year presence brought about the current deplorable situation and didn't in any way contribute in strengthening industrial or economics phase. and afghanistan again, 11 countries here will have of got a stance neighbors plus russia,
8:20 pm
plus china press plus india all countries. the vested interest in making sure that i've got austin remains stable. the u. s. delegation by the way was invited, but the united states had it was unable to attend because of logistical challenges . another similar in the event of moscow format, east plaid, there is no dates yet, but we'll get isis have told us that they're ready. once the need arises, facebook is paying out $14000000.00 in a civil case over discrimination. the u. s. social media giant was accused of giving preference to hiring foreign workers over americans. facebook, he is not about the law and must comply with our nations federal civil rights laws, which prohibit discriminatory recruitment in hiring practices. the tech giant gave certain positions mainly to temporary visa holders. prosecutors claim up to $2600.00 us workers, lost out. as a result,
8:21 pm
facebook was find almost $5000000.00 and is paying out more than $9000000.00 in compensation to victims. the lawsuit against the tech giant was filed last year by the us justice department. back then, the trump administration pushed the biggest tech companies the higher, more americans for permanent positions, instead of temporary foreign workers. legal analyst jennifer to master explained to us why facebook in particular, adopted by policy facebook and some of these other companies will watch these immigrants. it's a way for facebook to save money, while also preventing maybe lawsuits for unfair or discriminatory work practices. which in and of itself is discriminatory against actual united states citizens that we're applying for work and unable to get a company like facebook, with a lot of money would be able, their, their high price attorneys would be able to find a case that had merit less claims, but again, it's been brought by the department of justice itself. i think it's very surprising
8:22 pm
that people, many people who see facebook or some of the social media platforms as an arm of a political party. so it's kind of being this distinction drawn between this, what we consider politicize, or a bite and era department of justice, which should be friends with facebook. actually bringing a discrimination claim against this partner. so this story might be used by either the federal government, by the new situation, or by facebook to argue that the way we are different, you know, we, we, we can be held accountable up above the law. when in reality, they've been working hand in hand for a long time, and facebook has been acting as an arts of most of many of political federal agencies in order to st. silence political opponents. the nepotism storm has hit leading us democratic party representatives, maxine waters, who is head of the house financial services committee. her daughter has again been
8:23 pm
exposed for pocketing vast campaign funds. financial disclosure records revealed. she paid her daughter karen more than $80000.00 over the fiscal year, which ended last month that shoots the total she has received from her mother over a decades long career to more than one point. 1000000. she has been paid for running an uncommon federal practice called slate mailing, where a consulting firm is hired to list rival candidates and their policies and advisors who to vote for the congress one. now faces calls to go. this is how democrats socialists work. they take care of their own while people they represent lose jobs, pay high taxes, and in many cases go homeless. i am calling on the resignation of maxine waters. she needs to be investigated. maxine waters did this before and face no legal consequences. she knows she isn't going to face legal consequences now. laws fairly
8:24 pm
vague on us politicians using campaign, campaign funds to pay family members with election commission rules only demanding that salaries don't exceed the fair market value. journalist daniel, those are claims such behavior is essentially cropped, but nothing will change. the american political system is saturated with this kind of corruption. just, it just goes on and on. no one pays attention to it. everyone regards it is normal and therefore nothing is done. i mean, this goes on cross the board throughout congress and the presidency as well. i don't expect very much to happen because it would require a very rigorous kind of oversight. and much more rigorous than the american political system is capable of doing the, the, the standards in washington are very lax and they allow people like waters to get away with this kind of stuff. and it just keeps going on and on. and it never stops
8:25 pm
. the world health organization is restarting work on approving rushes. footnote v: coven vaccine after the process was put on hold a month ago. here's ortiz to meet your pal with more. well, it seems that we might actually be getting closer to an approval. the w h o just recently updated the status of the approval process for the student ve vaccine this process was put on hold earlier. they were waiting some documentation, but now its been resumed and is apparently already in its final stages. all that remains to be done really is that a team of inspectors from the w h o must now visit russia to finish up all the necessary paperwork and inspections, and so on. but russian health officials do hope that the vaccine could be approved . finally, within just the next few months, because as reminder, the splitting feedback scene was one of the 1st ones due to be developed and see widespread use. actually right now it's available in 70 countries. am has an efficacy rating of over 97 percent harbor throughout his development. the vaccine
8:26 pm
has seen a lot of controversy which is serially hindered his acceptance in the west and the w h. o has been yet to recognize it or recommended. however, if this approval system process does go through smoothly, it could mean that the people who have received the student ve jad could soon be able to travel to countries which only accept w choa recommended vaccines. because right now, if you took this wouldn't v jab and wanted to go to a country which only accepts w h o vaccines. well, you'd either not be able to get a visa, or you'd have to get another vaccine, us w, h o approved vaccine. but if this process, the approval process does go through and w h o officially recommend splitting the that whole problem could become a thing of the past. or the does it for me this, i will be back in, let's say 33 minutes. you're watching internet. ah, mom mom, when i looked showed the wrong one,
8:27 pm
i just don't know. i mean, you want to say proud disdain because of the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. when i see black america, i see part of my so i was growing up like america spoke to me when what estrada did not have those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where wide lodge matter and i was not wide like ms. newman and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness.
8:28 pm
aboriginal people of iraq law every day. we are out warded system. now with the police were out war with she states, i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then they're all the shallow friends in daycare a the being rated by the f b i o, they get their past speaks and addresses. why was the democrats and not the russian, but gave the presidency to trumps? in 2016. united states is not the only country dealing with migrants as
8:29 pm
a european country has put thousands of prove added order to stop a legal coming over. however, this move and others are causing a major friction in the us. we will report from the ground and is all forgiven with a simple name change, but one big change is coming from major social media platform with hope. people will forget the wrong for the past so that it might be able to fulfill its ambitions of domination in the future. we will bring you the story. and cargo ships are still sitting in the ocean, waiting to dock trucks are waiting to be loaded with products and consumers are waiting for their favorite item. why is, are both supply and demand yet neither side is actually getting fulfilled. we will bring you the latest on the multiple kings in the supply chain. i'm going to use and we're going to give you the 360 view of these stories on today's new views right here on our t america. ah,
8:30 pm
thanks for joining us. the f b i combed through property here in d. c. in new york on tuesday. they were all tied to a 1000000000 russian businessman, although darren pasco, and while the f b, i says there were searching based on a court order, dera pasco isn't buying it. and he actually fired back with a harsh, feisty response. well, speaking of, i see we had our own fair in front. zack, who was at the right on tuesday, who shows us what the f. b. i actually walked away with one failed, as russia's richest man, the aluminum tycoon. o, like dairy pasco, had some feisty words for the f. b. i. agents who rated home in washington, d. c, as well as his town home in new york city, tuesday, dairy pasco, suggesting the raid was all centered around allegations that russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to secure a win for.
