ah ah good gul flyers heard clutches erupt and tear gas is deployed as a crisis deepens on the border between poland, m beller. bruce beth sells a large crowd of migrants storm the frontier into polish territory, and a french police officer survives the stamping thanks to his bullet proof vests and an incident thus reportedly being investigated as a possible act of terrorism. also ahead today, i maxine divisions spark protests in the u. s. after a cor temporarily blocks the biden administration plan to impose compulsory coven shots on private businesses.

ah, from moscow to the world, this is art c, pleasure that have your company today. my name is una neela gunfire has been heard and tear gas fired at my grins, trying to storm the border between poland and bella. bruce bell, russian authorities have said a large group of people, mostly from the middle east, managed to cross into poland earlier today. warsaw, house, void all illegal migrants will be returned back across the border. oh, i

yes. yeah. oh, yeah. well, it's cross to where your correspond peter oliver, to make sense of the scenes. peter afternoon, a rapidly escalating situation. it appears. what do we know about what's unfolding on the frontier? while the situation has escalated throughout monday, there has been a situation unfolding for well, the last few months involving my grants, trying to cross from bellow, roof into poland. over the last few hours though, it has come on leaps and bounds in terms of the volume of people trying to cross, as well as the volume of people on the other side, the polish side of the border, trying to stop them from crossing. what we've seen throughout monday is people use tree trunks as a makeshift, battering ram to try and butter down fences with 4 to between on the border between

bell roofs and poland. we've also seen people equipped with ply is trying to, to cut through barbed wire as they're being well pet. the sprayed all those point blank range by board of forces that are all not on that line intending to stop new breeches opening up in the border wall. now poland had sent 12000 extra troops to the border in order to destroy and stop groups like the one that's trying to cross from doing exactly that. there's also a state of emergency underway in poll and there will be lasting for the next 3 months. because of the situation around migrants and it's also as we're hearing on monday, developing a political level as well. the polish president under duda will be holding a meeting with prime minister mateusz, motivate ski and national security advisers and members of the, the, the military groups that are on the ground there to try and come up with a solution in the, the short term as well. as the long and medium term as well,

what we've seen is the crowd of people on monday shouting that they shouted germany, germany, germany as they were at the border. in fact, polish press tooth spoken to those that had made it across the border or those who were at the board to say that poland isn't the destination of choice. the charity saying they want to come either here to germany of go on to france. in fact, the german foreign ministry have put out a statement on this in which they say they have proof that alexander lucas shanker . the air beller, russian president and the, the nation of belarus is behind steering these migrants towards the border and trying to drive them across. the situation continues to be of utmost concern to us. we observe how the look of shanker regime continues to call migrants to belarus and send them on a dangerous journey towards the

e you. there is evidence that the regime in minsk constantly directs people to the border. well, we can also hear what the, the bell russian border guards have had to say. now they've claimed that their polish counterparts may well be, am trying to, to load some kind of provocations in order to escalate the situation further. taking into account statements by polish officials on the concentration of armed forces and equipment near the border. we do not exclude the possibility of provocative actions by the polish side and justifying the use of physical force and special equipment against refugees. while it's unclear what the a polish border guards may have been hoping to gain from mass, which the, the bell russian side are accusing them of what we have heard from the bell. russian president, alexander lucas shanker, though, is a statement saying that he denies the allegations that have been made against him,

that he's been forcing these people towards the border. he also says that his country hasn't got the money, hasn't got the finances in order to look after these people though saying this e u sanctions on belarus is pushing the country to the brink. i honestly said that we wouldn't hold any more of the people you've been screened over enough canister on iran and iraq. we have neither the money nor the strength to do so as a result of your sanctions. while the situation continues to escalate along that border between salaries and poland, it's worth while understanding that this isn't just national boundaries. this is also the border between bellow roost and the european union. we heard from the german 4 ministry earlier. they are clearly watching this incredibly closely lithuania as well, has also weighed in on monday, saying that they will be sending troops to the polish fellow russian border in order to try and help sure that frontier, the state of emergency may well be set to be declared in the queue,

ania as well. yes sir. explain explanation there of a very fluid situation or your corresponding pedro. laura, thanks peter. k. let's say a crock over another headline story. today, a french police officer has been attacked with a knife in the southern city of cam authority, say his bullet proof vest saved him from any serious injuries. the incident is being investigated as a possible terror attack, rti, charlotte dubin ski reports to 6 30 am local time. this attack was carried out. we understand the police officer was in a vehicle just outside his police station and the attacker opened the door of the car and then attempted to stab the officer to deck. now we understand that the officer survived without any injuries, thanks to his bullet proof vests, but we do understand from sources on the ground that while that attack was

attempted, the aggressor shouted that this was being done in the name of the muslim prophet. now we understand that a colleague of that police officer who was attacked aimed fire straight away at the attack, it severely injuring them and they are now are said to be severely injured and being treated for that. we understand that the attack, it is a 37 year old, are with the original nationality of being algerian. and he said to have been unknown to the police before this incident. but because of the fact that the aggressor said that this attack was in the name of them was in prophet muhammad, this is not being treated as a possible terror incident here in france. now this is not the 1st time we have seen an attack of this nature here in france just in april this year. so not too many months ago, a police officer administrative worker was stabbed to death just inside the secure area of a police station who had booley,

which is not too far from paris. and then in may, so less than a month later, there was another attempt on the life of a police officer at this time, leaving that opposite the wounded at that took place near the city of north in western france. so we do get these attacks from time to time and back in 2019 october a radically i t employee over the police station in paris, a killed 3 police officers and an administrative. okay. what was a terror attack back then? one of the worst attacks in sight, a police station where that took place now from milking the pain from the natural valley who funks. she seems to be certain that these attacks are becoming what she described as being normalized. i get the impression that these kinds of crimes are becoming usual as if it's some form of habit. i urge the french people not to get used to the situation. now phones has been suffering from a wave of violence in the last decade and attacks like this shop and the idea of

people fearing that they could be further islamic attacks like the ones we saw back in 2015. but for the moment, this appears to be a lone wolf attack it is being tested, treated as a possible terrorist. incident of 37 year old man said to be of an algerian origin is not being treated for severe injuries after it's tempting to stab a police officer in can on monday morning can moving the program or none of the biden administration's push for monday tree. cobit vaccinations has exposed a sharp divide in the u. s. over the weekend on appeals court temporarily blocked the government's job requirements for businesses. but that didn't sell people taking to the streets. i

thought, well, the contested mandate will apply to large businesses without the least 100 employees. vaccines are already obligatory for public officials that come to the time of hi infection rates, averaging around $73000.00 per day in the u. s. as it stands, despite a federal appeals court freezing the private sector requirement, the surgeon general insists the measures are needed. the person in the administration wouldn't have put these requirements in place if they didn't think that they were appropriate and necessary. and the administration is certainly prepared to defend them for all those promises of healing biden's america has become a tinderbox, rife with anger and division. and the latest vaccine mandate was just the thing to spark the fire. this mandate is unconstitutional, unlawful and unwise. the biden vaccine monday is

a shocking invasion of medical privacy on individual liberty, and we will not stand for it. i'm exploring every legal option to defend the rights of north caroline and against is unconstitutional. mandate with president by does plan to mandate vaccination in the u. s companies with over 100 employees. more than 2 dozen states have now come out swinging, determined to protect the rights of 84000000 workers. but one of extraordinary was up by regional dot red was a blue state, new hampshire. and among the attorney generals who fall the north food was a democrat from iowa. this was no longer from protest on the street. this isn't longer about loyalty to one's party. this was the country, the big guns from both sides of the aisle coming out proclaiming we the people say, no, a court has now frozen the mandate nationwide. that's confirmed, it's an overreach. what about individual liberty? what about the constitution?

what about a precedence? promise? no, i don't think you should be mandatory. i wouldn't demand to be mandatory, but i would do everything in my power just like i don't think mask have to be made mandatory nationwide and do everything in my power as press united states to encourage people to do the right thing. turns out though, the man who didn't believe in mandates has turned into a big fan of them for the federal employees. and now for private ones, heads mosque up, get job to you might be out of the job. now you think that being food by more than half the country states would dump your spirits, but no, the white house is still feeling a good number said just to get ministration over the next thing. the requirements for workers are companies. i'd like to get your response to that and also how confident you can with a so we are very confident that it can now, biden, in 5th,

he's acting according to international medical guidance. the vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic. i view shed by many, but the timing is bad. discussions of to job will not have reached fever pitch. mm. from california to mississippi. angry citizens have flooded the streets. some say they'll never vote democrat again, others that they'd rather be unemployed than give out that freedom's. then you look at the recent elections, a litmus test of the bite and presidency. the democrats took a beating and what many say is a bad omen for the midterms next year? it's been a bumpy few months and for some that's just one person to play. nobody likes to seem to be franklin d. roosevelt. deluxe is him to be normal and sub the kaos. you know,

under his administration, the cdc said that anybody who's vaccinated shouldn't wear a mask, and then they did the hokey pokey and said no, no, you do have to wear a mass. they have said that boosters were not necessarily going to be thing and mandates, not going necessarily going to be a thing. and now we have both boosters and mandate. so if he goes back on this, it will, i think, a road, some of the confidence that biden came in with, remember, he was partly elected because he was the adult in the room. he was somebody for whom was a political veteran that would not see a new problem and therefore would be able to handle it better than the bull in the china shop that donald trump was. if he doesn't show com, even handed leadership on this, and i don't think he particularly has on this or many other things. then he's going to continue to see his approval rating a road like it is right now when it's under water, by nearly 10 point. the white house at odds with the states, the republicans taking on the democrats. so, democrats timing on each other and the facts, rounding on the and faxed,

like i said, for all those promises of healing. it looks like it's a long johnny to the united states, living up to its name. sophia taylor. so there's still plenty of disagreement over enforcement of mandatory covert shop. so reminder, the world health organization stresses and vaccinations, natural immunity, are the only root out of the pandemic. we continue the news in 90 seconds. stay close. ah, well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't know any world. yes to see proud disdain, because of the attitude and engagement. it was betrayal. when so

many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. a ah with oh,

hello again. iraq's prime minister claims he knows who tried to kill him, none has pledged to expose the culprits on sunday, several drones bone. the premier's residence in bagdad security is being ramped up with helicopters flying over the capital and army vehicles deployed on the streets . extra forces have also been sent to the green zone. that is where the prime minister's residence is located. you're some of the damage left, but the drone bombing, which came days after deadly riots condemning the parliamentary election, widely denounced as raked. 7 security guards were wounded in the drone incident which the interior ministry called a terrorist attack. however, the opposition is suggesting it may have been a provocation by the government to justify a croc done. the united states was the 1st country to condemn the alleged attempt on the piano life time when the remaining american. busy combat forces are leaving iraq. artesia portia done off looks now at the parallels between watson folding in iraq on what played out in afghanistan. there's riots. there's tear gas,

there's live gunfire. iraq continues its descent into security chaos. following the latest parliamentary vote. ah, iraq's intelligence headquarters is shelled. it's pro american prime minister is targeted by a grown assassination attempt. this is what's left over his home in the most secure haven of baghdad. the attempt that got washington very anxious. we are following the reports of drone attack. this apparent act of terrorism, which was strongly condemn, was directed at the heart of the rock estate. our commitment to our iraqi partners is unshakable, the another se cents with the government and people for rock. all this just over

a month since america started to withdraw its combat forces from the country, and the polar has already vote some morbid flashbacks in the white house. to this day, the withdrawal from afghanistan is tanking jo biden's political school. yet the president found no better time to embark on a similar mission just in iraq. i think things are going well or role in iraq just to be available to continue to train, to assist to help them to deal with isis. right. but we are not going to be brought in here. and america's relationship with iraq has been eerily similar to the one with of gaston security forces, fully equipped and trained by american specialists, pro washington leadership, a whole generation of locals who don't remember their lives without us forces in the country forces that invaded under the pretext of hunting down bad guys. all

these statements apply perfectly to both of gaston and iraq countries turned by the us into test sites for its nations building ambitions. our mission in iraq is clear, were hunting down the terrace. we're helping iraqis build a free nation. that is an ally in the war on terror. we know that true peace will only be achieved when we give the afghan people the means to achieve their own aspirations. piece piece will be achieved by helping afghanistan develop its own stable government. osama bin laden escaped american bounty hunters by adding to pakistan. the infamous anthro exclaims, and saddam hussein's links to the $911.00 attacks turned out to be fake news. the u . s. military found itself bog down, and nations in tatters to decades on as it prepares to pull out statements of

reassurance come out of washington. the very same old song had during the african withdrawal. iraq essential to the u. s. vision for a stable me to least iraq is not against. and we're here for the long term with you . iraq as a key strategic partner. and we're committed to this partnership world cobbled, succumb to the taliban in a matter of days. no, not a single us intelligence agency, so that coming all that doesn't provide much backing to the claims that the true pull out from iraq this time will end up just fine. i still is already taking advantage of the strain security capability of the taliban rule in afghanistan. iraq is isis cradled. nobody wants to see another nation in the region crumble under the weights of a decades long string of 4 choices. make thousands of miles away. well let's get some perspective on this and speak to senior research associate at

the institute for national security studies, and israel retired brigadier general slow brom. you're very welcome to the program, sir. why do you think the parliamentary election results were so violently contested by the opposition? ohio, i own coldly door position because her election results are controlled mostly by then iranian folks is same. you know, some of the here leashes in, in the dollars supplied weapons by suicide. they're the ones that was used to try to assess the 9 to 5 in the staff. clearly iran in durance because they're only

a producer of this kind of their dorm said that their supplies serve to eat spokes east. this time they had the militia in iraq. now in the rest, in the recent elections and their political poppy that represented she had pope c. s was defeated the elections and their elections indicated that the majority of this year, which enjoy a majority in iraq. not that called the a a. are there she elements completely. so aware of this she, i'd say militia. wanted to change by force. daily. okay. i yeah. some by demonstrations. violin demonstrations and some

of them. yeah. why don't the militia said that he knows what community she was pregnant. okay, around. well, of course said deny they're linked to any involvement in not of course, and we were speaking. you were tied brigadier general, the idea of snow loop from. thank you, sir. you our or the killing of a palestinian boy in the west bank has fired up local resentments over israel settlements and mass evictions. the 13 year old was shot by his really soldiers on friday after rioters through stones of trips during clashes, or movies correspond impala sneer visited his neighborhood. mohammed walked this exact path from his home. in front of this area, he met a friend and together they continued to wear the near bi weekly demonstrations against a settlement take place. little did his family know that that would be the last

time they'd see him alive. ah. the refugee camp is full as posters calling the 14 year old and marta and now the only people coming to the family home. all mona's law said he had launch at home on friday, then went out to play football. come late afternoon. i heard he was shot, i fear that would happen on wednesday, muhammad was with us at a graveyard, and then we headed home. the next day we were speaking and he said, i was born a man and i'm in the redemption of palestine. it is a red line for me. this is mohammed bedroom, and here is the table where he used to work really hot. he set himself a goal of 87 percent for his school work. and here he has a note himself that says he must fight hard for your dreams. this is the nicholas

that he was wearing when he was killed and it has the pictures of family members, some of whom were killed in the conflict with israel. hammond had caliah, i am and i'm listening cannot be described. it is very hard, but always pray to god that he was ever thing to me. it was bahamas wanted to become a journalist and he was working towards it. that was his dream fiddle up. so hopefully like any young palestinian that sees on t v, the destruction caused by the occupying forces, the desires that to defend the homeland palestine. and the alex and mosque any palestinian is subject to something happening while defending holy sites. god has chosen him to be a martyr. of course they were targeted on purpose. this happens all the time in palestinian cities, the targeting of youth and young palestine gonzales, that these weighty army disputes says, fax, it says during the riots, protesters hold walks at its soldiers and they are currently investigating the incident during the royal palestinian riotous hills rocks at israel defense forces

who were at the scene, the troops responded with riot dispersal means alive. fire we are aware of reports of a killed palestinian. the instant is under review. the defense for children international, the ports that 12 palestinian children have been killed since the beginning of this year by these wally army. and with these waiting governments, recent approval of some 3000 new citizens, the situation is likely to only intensify with potentially more son's dying policy on r t ask a village west bank. if you would like to take a deeper dive into any of those stories, this, our website is a solid starting point, always fresh content, lively discussion to be found there. by for

join me every thursday on the alex simon show, but i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah . ah. hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered, i'm funeral about, well, it's official. the u. s. military has declared the great 3 powers competition featuring the u. s. russia and china. how does neal liberal ideology play into this? and what does russia gate in january 6? i'm in common. ah.
