can't replace the loss of my family. my brother, my own doctor and nephews, have lost their lives. compensation will not bring them back to life and development. this sunday humiliation on the brink of sadism. moscow's times he was moved to stop the processing of immigrant fees obligations in russia, adding the country to its list of just terminations where there is no cause to let representation. ah, why for moscow you're watching the weekly now seem to national was me you lance ship of allah. hello, and welcome to the program staff shortages soaring kind of these cases and pressure on the national health service have all led to another crisis in england week. so

new report that in some parts of the country, patients have had to wait for almost 50 hours to get a bed, an accident and emergency unit. in one case, a patient reportedly spent 47 hours in line at a hospital in the north west of england while in the south of the country. a teenager with serious mental health problems waited for almost 2 days in emergency department. similar incidents where i reported in scotland and wales league winchester told us what happened to his father. he was at 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,

he would then took him back to 999 to him fronting that. 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 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 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. but of course, over the night i stayed the night make sure that you know the night is condition wesson's in the morning. i'd call for an ambulance reports i 91 percent of hospital beds were occupied in england as of mid october. at this same time, brittany health secretary has admitted there aren't enough staff to operate the

country's emergency telephone lines. such each of it out of the a detailed plan of action was being put together and would be soon. but the interest that isn't convinced every step the way the mismanaged the crisis. aside from the vaccine roll 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, 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 it because their actions so far appear to be so kind of a keep is throwing problems into the health crisis in the u. k. reported in the week that there's growing confusion in the country over the difference between

a 3rd dose of a could be seen. and based on that's among medical professionals themselves, late in the program will explain why that poses the lines of highly vulnerable patients at risk. poland this week of keys, the year pressure and blackmail and arguments so raging over what the blocks lewis should take priority over national legislation. a long road ahead of us this road is a combination of dialogue, legal response, and concrete action to restore the independence of the judiciary yard or not. you know that there is no european country that condemn itself. european, if his judges are not independent. this is at the heart of our fundamental tax. good advice for my own. some countries have a stronger appetite for integration. others not only poland, see this issue in the opposite way. some countries constitution say you, laura,

supreme other say the opposite. so this constitutional pluralism, this pluralism has to be respected. the ra overshadowed the senate of the 27 members, stay the final one for outgoing german chancellor angle, a miracle, she warned, against isolating poland. the stand of started when pauline's highest court ruled that elements of e, you know, were incompatible with the countries. consultation also took a lot of flack from e u leader for challenging the blanks called valley of the rule of law. and if the raft goes deeper, they, you may punish war, so by rescinding billions of years in covered recovery funds. so the recent tensions have added more fuel to the idea of poland, maybe leaving the european union also has we had there is strong support to stay in the you the government are very simply sent, chosen, and other way away of confrontation with you. and now it looks like it's

a very strong recording, very strong foot. no, very strong. swa goes for the struggle between the commission on the les and, and the polish government is very busy, but the struggle is growing. on the other hand, government knows that they need money from that you florida economic recovery. i think the people in poland in majority support being in the use of the younger generation is very skeptical about leaving. say you, i think that the people are not, as we imagine living in and other wars we're about to you about those possibilities . like working abroad starting to bro lives, you know, moving freely and using freedom of movement. money cannot replace our loss. that is the response from the father of an organ family devastated by us drug strike and washington's promise of compensation because of it

during america's panics, withdrawal from up down is down in august. that's how killed 10 members of a ma marti's extended family including his 2 year old daughter. murder. the compensation is not a remedy for the pain inflicted on us. it can't replace the loss of my family, my brother, my own daughter, nephews, have lost their lives. compensation will not bring them back to life each day after that attack, our life is getting more and more miserable day and night. we recall them were our remaining family. we mr. malott life is hell without them. we intend to leave of gustavo because we lost turn of our braces lives now it's painful for us to review without those loving kids. it took months for the you are still own up to the mistake which were supposed to target members of the terrace grove, isis k. there is no official information about the amount being offered to the family. but apart from that, they are to be given assistance. if they want to relocate to the u. s. the

humanitarian situation and have ghana san is now at a crisis point. there are about a 600000 people displaced as a result of fighting and economic instability. most of them women and children. it's estimated that millions of youngsters need humanitarian aid to survive right now. and although the united states is broke, providing nearly $64000000.00 in assistance in our mart, it says the losses to his nation are much greater than the money o muzzle haul by this kind of aid doesn't compensate the loss you reflected on this nation. how will you addressed the miseries in the agony of war of the father and brother, a child or a family? believe me, you can't find a single african family in this country without a martyr. you can feel this by everywhere, it can be dealt with through humanitarian aid. what we need is biesen of genest on whether the previous regime or these slammy government. it doesn't matter. we are glad,

at least the americans have admitted their mistake and said they would pay the compensation . but we de, among the americans investigate thoroughly before such drone attacks happened in the future as just got a lot more difficult for russian citizens to apply for us immigrant visas on ho soil. they now have to travel around 1200 kilometers to the american consulate in war. so the u. s. state department has added russia to its list of just 10 countries. weight has no consulate representation along with the likes of iran and libya. and similarly, the russian foreign ministry has blasted the move yes, diplomats tend to procedure trivial for the 21st century into hell based on humiliation. on the brink of citizen and my colleague calling bray discussed the move earlier with al's he correspondent alia trendkite. so russians have been listed as a homeless nationality. just listen to what once again, homeless nationality, this is really

a diplomatic slap in the face and other countries on that lists other nationalities, i should say include yemenis libyans that as well, ands. and what those countries have in common while they were present, the countries in which either of the u. s. has no consular presence whatsoever, or where the political or the security situation is very dire. but it doesn't feel like here. this is really the case with moscow, for example. now what this decision by the us state department means for ordinary russians is that russian immigrant applicants will now have to go to war, saw the capital of poland for their interviews, for example. but for russian citizens in order to go to poland, they have to get an e. u. shannon visa, which really makes the whole situation much more complicated. however, the west state department told us that they see warsaw as the most convenient

option. however, they are saying that they do understand that this is quote unquote, a very significant change for the applicants. and they're also, they are putting the blame for this entire situation. on the russian side, the russian government's decision to prohibit the united states from retaining hiring or contracting russian or 3rd country stuff severely impacts our ability to provide counselor services. the extremely limited number of counselor staff in russia. this time does not allow us to provide routine visa or us citizen services . so from listening to that, it sounds i rush has made of the lives of us diplomats far more complicated as well . so what's the wider context here? well, it's really important to look at what happened earlier about 6 months ago. washington expanded its anti rush and sanctions and kicked 10 russian diplomats out of the country, which is on top of many more diplomat expulsions. i tell you that there was

a total of more than $100.00 in moscow kept warning all along that it will be responding with different kinds of measures. now apart from expulsions. one of the steps that moscow has taken is that it banned the u. s. embassy in moscow from hiring russian citizens or 3rd country nationals. and as a result of all that masset or sullivan is saying that his team swung to 120 people. and he believes that is not enough to perform their console duties properly. but the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman murray, the harbor is saying that the americans were the architects of their own demise. for many years seems to have been just trying to cancel a service. the system in russia, which they did and create. they have been closing counselor agencies cut in stuff, conducting experiments with hollow is symmetric response differs from tit for tat.

i wonder if any of these do the strategy apologists took into account that at the same time they destroyed their own ideals of freedom. it homes, families and relatives, the kinds of connections that keep relations between states and nations, alive it homes, people who sincerely believed in the west pleasures about freedom of travel. i want to ask where and now these ideals which are so often spoken about on the other side of the atlantic as when it comes to reality and the fate of certain people, human rights, all of a sudden have no place in washington's lease to fray orators while it looks like things with these diplomatic missions are only getting worse. however, when the 2 presidents, joe biden, and lot of my met in geneva in the summer, big greed that the 2 countries will make steps to improve the situation so far. like i said, it's only getting war according to the russian foreign minister sergey lab. well, the reason for this is that washington is playing some kind of gay made, which they are trying to bargain for preferences, which are one sided. however,

moscow maintains that if the sanctions are eased, that needs to be done on an equal footing. but like we see, the only problem is that it's the ordinary people that are suffering from this diplomatic war. and joining me now live face day linda, editor of the online nice website, they se combi happening at mr. de lindell. welcome to aussie. so why do you think the state of almond made this move and what do you make of the timing? i so politics, it's the us now on this and this anti russia campaigned that i've been going on really since the late obama administration, we are little let up a, during the early part of the trumpet ministration. but we're back, you know, that that was short lived and now we're in sort of back in the obama administration

with biden, i'm doing the same thing, went to sort of odd this continuous effort to gin up an american anti russian sentiment. i did the sad thing is that, you know, as one of your speakers earlier said, is that the, it's the average person who gets hurt by this? i mean, yeah, you did mention the fact that tourists have to get a visa to come to the us from russia. so that means that even tourism is difficult . you to come to the usaa as a tourist, you have to go to warsaw and you have to get the shing and visa. so it gets very expensive. um, i mean, it's all very childish. it seems to me, yeah, that who has you know, that what do you think of russia being added to the same list as the life of ron

syria? indian? well, it's like every other country on that list is a 3rd world country. and looks like half of them are countries that are war torn's, you know, they're either involved in civil wars or wars. and, you know, understandably in those countries, the u. s. doesn't have much in the way of a us embassy officials that didn't, they probably have no consulates. and if they have an embassy, it's a small operation, or else the, as in cuba, they, you know, they, they operate where the skeleton staff or, or, i'm not even sure we have an embassy in her in. so, um, you know, they have to use some other countries. oh, good offices to get anything done. so this is all, lot hard for ordinary people. and i guess that that way russians should come to americas to declare themselves, to be refugees from a,

a draconian police state. and they'll be welcomed with open arms the way we welcome . ah, you know, white people from other dictatorships. exactly. exactly. and i am ponti a think it'll have on us russia relations during that senate, peyton and biden placed improved bilateral ties. and it certainly doesn't seem like much progress has been made. i don't think that it, you know, in the long run has a major impact. it's, it's kind of that justice, like someone said, it's a slap in the face to try to embarrass russia. but, you know, everybody knows that it's not a 3rd world country and, and i mean people, there may be some ignorant people in the united states who thank you still have to get an exit miss with lee of russia. you know, like in the, an communist stays, but i, you know, it's a free travel country and not like the united states. and i so

it, most people know that. so this is kind of a meaningless thing. middle, go away eventually, once we realize we need to go the other direction in terms of the relationship between our 2 countries. yeah. and, but by the way, this isn't the finest aisha, went the russians, getting us visas with the american embassy holding all travel phases in may this year actually that you mentioned how much of an escalation is this a desk fair question? again, i didn't, i didn't understand the premise. yeah. shaw. i just, i just, i you, you also mentioned it earlier, and this isn't the fancy issue with russians guessing. yes. these is because the american embassy, i actually hold it all, travel visas in may. this yet. how much of an escalation is that oh, well this is a lesser, really a lesser step that, that, and just is just saying,

you have to ghost go somewhere else in order to get a visa words before they were there to sing when they were gonna take travel from russia. so um i, i, i wasn't even aware that donna, that's like a crazy thing to go. i mean, you know, it's, it's always to the good to have people from both country is traveling to the, of their country. it's not as though there's some danger in having russians come and go to florida beaches or you know that isn't the smithsonian or something of the any more than it's bad for americans to go to russia and go to the bullshit. you know, that's what, that's all good a for, for a, for dc international relations to we should be encouraging it, sean, all right, dave, alene, doff editor of the online news site. this can't be happening, mr. linda, or thank you very much indeed for your insight. thanks for having me and

mourned the weekends news i had a thousands of migrants are setting out from southern mexico, heading to the u. s. border while police struggle to hold, the carbine will update her own bat after the break. oh driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with dares sinks we dare to ask

ah ah ah, this is the with here and i'll see international welcome back. a big developing story this weekend, thousands of migrants have set off from mexico, southern border city of to but trula and donna heading to was the u. s. scuffles

broke out when police tried to hold back the massive caravan. the the 3000 people in cleaning families with young children began tracking on food on saturday. the migrants from haiti, south and central america, hoped to reach the us and settle that earlier this week. president boyd and acknowledged that he should visit the united states southern border, but also sad. he haven't had the time so far. and so i lead based journalist paul doctor says mixed messages from the was a contributing to the current crisis. stripe is really the consequence of the prolong structure, economic situation,

and central and latin america in the case of venezuela. we really have to look at the role of the united states in keeping these countries handicapped, impoverished to some extent and, and in our case, the need to quit measures against the country. the road at washington is not innocent when it comes to the, the economic crisis, generalized economic crisis in many of these countries in honduras and height. the question of migration to the united states is very uncomfortable. they're all the sectors which would prefer not to see their migrate into the country. but there are also strong sectors, especially when the upper classes of the united states, which recognize of the u. s. economy and to some extent, mean this cheap labor force in the country who are willing to work for lower wages in more precarious conditions without collective contracts, without trade, union rights, and due to the needs of the volume. eventually, i need to maintain that family and to eat vulnerable patients in the

u. k. could been missing out on a life saving cove. a child over doctors confuse about the difference between a said dose of the vaccine and, and based at the inoculations must be given in the correct order. but did say terms are often used interchangeably leading to mix ups, even among medics, the wife of one man with a red type of blood cancer told us in the week how they'd been caught in the confusion. i went into the g p. surgery, melinda, and she said, there is no said job chris, she does not, i think so. yeah, great. a fish. this is difficult to a booster. it is part of the primary course of the vaccine. right. but credit to that, to my research, and my research, what i found whilst that is a dose, gosh, the booster router value as winter limbs and rumors of returning to lockdown,

circulate the government is upping the ante on the vaccination top rollouts. but those that need it, the most struggling to get the 3rd dose they so desperately need do to confusion over the differences between the 3rd jab and the booster by the very people administering them legal from i to speaking to him. and he said the word in it differently than faxing has gotten different to chat for you. it certainly is confusing people. the recommendation is that those who are immunosuppressed, meaning they have a weekend immune system at the time of their 1st. and 2nd cove at vaccines should now receive a 3rd dose as part of the primary vaccination routine. the booster program is totally separate to the 3rd dose and is being offered to the over fifty's. those with underlying health conditions and those living with the immunosuppressed as well. not only are they entirely different jobs,

but thousands of extremely vulnerable people are struggling to book into their life . saving vaccines with experts saying that this huge error could cost lives. reduction it be the potency of the job for the boosters. so there's a lot of a conflation of these 2 terms. the immunocompromised people don't have full effective immunity against a cave in my teeth. if you don't have your immunity top top to the, the optimum level for you, then your greater risk you need to bait. presumably some people will end up passing away because of a jealous husband. brian suffers multiple myeloma, a rare type of blood cancer, meaning here's amino compromised, and entitled to his 3rd and the last 8 weeks. so julie has fought against at least a dozen healthcare professionals, including gps chemists and even staff and vaccination centers. we told her there is

no such thing as a 3rd dose or use the term interchangeably with booster. the people that giving this injection. you dr. sacred. no, nothing about the dead joke. you know about the booster? i'm fuming, i'm giving it the group to be honest. because did not give out the right information in my eye for a lot of people about the booster thinking to get into the japanese. not because i'm speaking on behalf of brian, because e is magwell. all the people out there. there's not just necessarily got my loaner gotten leukemia. lymphoma that's got any thing that give them a compromised immune system. so my husband is one person. i just think about all the people that's not gonna be an avenue more either in the contract that this information is not being given out correctly. as you can, infections hit almost 50000 in single day, the highest since july. in order to avoid a return to covert restrictions, the government is aging the public to do that bit and take the coven vaccine and

booster offers. but i think we've been really clear that we've all got a role to play. if people, if known enough people that boosted jobs, it's gonna hit as old. or when those administering the jobs don't know which is which it leaves those most vulnerable even more. so shut edwards dashti, artie london found in brief this weekend, sorry fuel prices and moms free health paso sponsor protests and paris on saturday as more than 20000 people from across the political spectrum gathered in the french capital. the demonstrations were organized by the yellow best movement which has held several. ronnie's against the french governments, code regulations over the last few months. and also the introduction of mandatory carried passes brought thousands out on to the straits of milan tea. new rules came in last friday for all workers to pass chose a passenger covet statues, status machination,
