for all the seller friends in daycare ah, patients in england are reportedly having to wait up to 50 hours for a bed in accident and emergency wards. that's as the pandemic puts fresh pressure on hospital every step of the way that mismanaged the crisis. aside from the vaccine roll, re personally of any faith in the current government, german police warned the country's border with poland is at risk of collapse amid rising flows of migrants crossing into the you from belarus. brussels is not moving to tackle the influx though, still relying on sanctions and refusing to even talk to minsk and facebook has to fort algebra. millions of dollars in a discrimination case after giving preference to hiring foreigners over americans. ah,

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, staff shortages, soaring coven cases and pressure on the british national health service. the any just have all led to another crisis in england has been reported that in parts of the country, patients are waiting for almost 50 hours to get a bed in accident and emergency units. in one case, the patient reportedly spent 47 hours in line at the royal preston hospital in the country's north, while in the southern county of suffolk, a teenager with serious mental health problems had to wait for almost 48 hours in the emergency room. according to local media, the areas and h s foundation trust said the wait was due to a lack of specialists facilities. luc winchester, whose relative was affected by the crisis, 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 saw of still 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, took him back to 9 know, 9 to and from there. eventually we spoke to a chap, he suggested how to move him back into his c and how to get him up and we did that is improving, but he probably still required some medical assistance, but 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 at that point we took him at the value and said, yeah, okay,

we'll cancel that 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 k an overnight. these conditions worsens in the morning. i school for another ambulance report 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, their hit record high. according to the n h s, almost 6000000 people are on waiting lists and the coming winter will only intensify the pressure. at the same time is health secretary has admitted there aren't enough staff to operate the countries and merge and see telephone lines which are 999, and 111 job id added that a detailed plan of action is being put together and would be unveiled soon but look, winchester isn't convinced every step of the way the miss managed to the crime. this. aside from the vaccine rolled out,

i don't re personnel 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 fully believe that when the 1st from 11122999999111 . i'm sure that they believe that's what you know. that's what he told to do, is a real simple answer as to where i think they're going to fix it because their actions sofa 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 current of iris for another 6 month demonstrators, including anti vectors to the streets to protest this and other pandemic measures. german police have warned that the country's border with poland is at risk of collapse. that's amid a massive influx of migrants crossing into the you from neighboring belarus or

cheese peter oliver. as 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. visit on center will park we in europe are being confronted with the fact that lucas suncoast using refugees is a tool to put pressure on european nations. look, a suncoast, nothing short of the head of a state run smuggling rain professorship in new bill in and through belarus, state organized early, state supported smuggling activities are taking place. the regime in belarus is now considerably expanded. the list of countries from where people can enter without a visa, that's a form of hybrid threats, where my grants are being used as

a political weapon 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 along, 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 bela root. 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 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 been 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, li, you are doing it methodically and collectively. you're trying to destroy our economy and expect us 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 garrick of the institute of european studies in belgrade described brussels attitude toward bell rose as colonial. this is being treated quite differently from turkey, can see the clear difference in language and in beads. and there is this sense. i will say oregon when i, when brussels is talking to them, sounds that i would even compare it to their post colonial aust. i would say this has a lot to do with the wind. the hybrid warfare with,

with hybrid warfare against russia and billows is being seen as a, 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 concerns for geo politics here than for the human rights. the e has awarded. it's a horrible price for freedom of thought to russian opposition figure election evolving. the accolade is given out annually by the european parliament to recognize what it calls perseverance for human rights. don quarter got more details earlier from our correspondent charlotte davinsky is, is considered to be the use talk human rights prize. but there are concerns about how it's been used in recent years. we've heard now on wednesday that the 2021

recipient is alexi. navarro leanne 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 there were allegations from the doctors that he had been poisoned with his substance known as normal shock. now at since then, we had accusations from government, not just germany, but also across europe, accusing the russian government of being behind that poisoning. however, russian medical officials and officials at the hosp the way he was treated in 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 real conditions, he was sent to serve out time in prison, and that's where he is currently as recipient of this top a 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 price being politicized. can you tell us a little bit more about that? yes, that's right. some, any piece themselves of heads out at 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 just in the, over the last few years, the choice of the norman knees and then the people who get this accolade really 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 a 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 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 e you had undermined dialogue in 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 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 they're valid, the will increased those thoughts from many that really this is an award that is being used as a political tool by the european union, against those governments cit, dislikes or disagrees with. it's a european parliament award, but one german emp is far from happy at the decision. maximilian crosses the west supplies double standards towards political opposition and that is unacceptable. you all know the records of mission of, on the when he came up in the early 2000 as a clear racist. and he was sentenced in russia for having thoughtful for making 1000000 more with putting the money out to a company in cyprus before not paying taxes. and that is going to be reached. now

we reach now with this situation that it becomes ridiculous and especially it becomes a big list. and they were in company a retro but just the ukraine and there is an elected member follow with who's on the arrest. and we pay government and key if we're putting it a real elected opposition leader into a rest. on the other hand, we have a at least doubt whose figure russia, we thank you must do. and then we say, okay, does this figure in must go look at a human rights record and human and human rights was on the other hand, being able to even recognize that we have a problem and a concrete of responses and then double stamps this hybrid chrisy makes the particulars here with our key international on the way tell about leaders have been in moscow for multinational talks to tackle afghanistan's humanitarian crisis as

security fears there worsen our next door. when we come back after 4 break, stay with us. ah, we have always been able to push that in should a far dark corner of our conscious because they will not turn it in. once there are alternatives, you can no longer do that and you have to kind of except for that an animal has been killed and how we act as greenhouse gas emission. and here we have essentially the same product, same price, same quality with none of those features. oh yeah, it's made a lot of that in the beginning is scary, but in the end it's not it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime. but old wounds still haven't tailed, you know, and you can go into them because only coming out to you. michael feed him.

okay. give me. so i will said cutting me in the parentheses. me notice that i just, i think with thousands of newborn babies. what toned from their mothers and given away and fullest adoption? late bought about, i used to yell for faster than my own robots. i feel elements it. to this day mothers still search for grown children, while adults look in hope for their birth parents. with

with oh, call them back. this is our to international. now with the security situation in afghanistan, deteriorating taliban leaders have been in moscow for talks focusing on the monitoring crisis that has gripped the war torn nation 11 countries, took part in the conference. our correspondent, with our guys, you have reports now from the venue. 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, will representing near enough half of the world's population. the aim 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 above got a sudden and on the deck, an intended consequence of 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, 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 seek 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 guide 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 taliban insisting that it's government is inclusive other countries, such as russia saying that it isn't as inclusive as it needs to be. government is packed with taliban officials, hard like taliban officials, with passion at the city. the predominant died about 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 erin aid is delivered to i've got to stop by every

one through which we movies. 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 behaviors towards afghan citizens. first and foremost from western countries, 20th 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, one of of got assad's neighbors, plus russia, plus china priests 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 west social media giant was accused of giving preference to hiring foreign workers over americans. facebook he is not to buffalo and must comply with our nation's federal civil rights laws, which prohibit discriminatory recruitment and hiring practices. now the touch ion gave certain positions mainly to temporary visa holders. prosecutors claim up to $2600.00 us workers, lost out as a result, facebook was find almost $5000000.00 and is paying out more than $9000000.00 in compensation to victims. now the lawsuit against the tech giant was filed last year by the u. s. justice department. back then, the trump administration pushed the biggest tech companies to hire more americans for permanent positions instead of temporary foreign workers. legal analysts to jennifer de master explained to us why facebook in particular adopted that 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 priced attorneys would be able to find a case that had near atlas claims, but again, it's been brought by the department of justice itself. i think it's very surprising that people, many people who see facebook or some of the social media platforms as an arm of a political party. so has kind of been this distinction drawn between this what we consider politicize, or via an 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, we can be held accountable look right 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. nepotism storm has hit leading us democratic party representative maxine waters, who's the head of the house and financial services committee. her daughter has again been exposed for pocketing vast campaign funds. financial disclosure records reveal, 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 decades long career to more than one point. $1000000.00, 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 advises who to vote for the congresswoman. 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. i know the law is fairly vague on us politicians using campaign funds to pay family members with election commission rules only demanding that salaries don't exceed the fair market. value. journalist daniel is our claim. such behavior is essentially corrupt, but nothing will change. the american political system is that terrain 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 to 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. the world health organization is restarting work on approving rushes. sputnik v covert vaccine after the process was put on hold a month ago with more. here's our t's dmitri polk. 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 v vaccine. this process was put on hold earlier. they were waiting some documentation,

but now it's 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 a 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 and has an efficacy rating of over 97 percent harbor throughout his development. the vaccine has seen a lot of controversy which is severely 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 subordinate v 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 job 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 blinds in just under 33 minutes . stay with us. is our internet ah. is there now a dual system of justice many think so for example, a former senior f b i a issue 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? a

di i cried. i just had a spot the whole time i was there. no one really thought anything differently this all. i just didn't feel good on the ways for the surgery. his lungs failed. 30 seconds, but i killed him. i had gotten stuck with so many needles that day in 2019 doctor started talking about a new wide spread. does he use that caused severe lung damage? there's a few points that were really to turn all of the patients were diagnosed with a lung injury associated with using electronic cigarettes or facing products. he pulled this out. he really felt holy crap, his him died. oh no, he's better. it was, i wouldn't want my worst enemy to ever. you'll see that it was out

of breath with us to play. but also there is a family and then you'll speak with josh was just to say that him and then you would you that is images, moves up was good for supposedly got my did some i would say again or spend your music resume, which is right. so we come up with was out of the to get the vote for idea all of your room for some way up, all of our previous sleazy tv shelf of worship with

a light i thought i thought for 3 minutes, an eagle for days, even weeks and months the draft house that's how aerial forest protection service smoke jumpers described themselves there on the front line fighting wildfires, but not as you'd expect. the water from overhead just brings the temperature down than main weapons against wild fires are shovels, explosives, backfires, and muscles. with.
