global economy, you need to protect yourself and get informed. what caused report you want to be when you grow old hunger and suffering at the port or between bell ursula. pollard with thousands of migrants including children, remains stranded tonight. it appeared to enter the e. u. a group of global prize winners to demanding human rights organizations are allowed immediate access to the area from the east side or from anywhere. display of arrogance. impunity mean time rushes foreign minister blasting li use approach to the unfolding migrant crisis. and from other use, a world renowned lawyer says a recent guantanamo trial that's being done to stay on the moral fiber of america could hopefully set a precedent for other victims of abuse at the hands of us agents. this is the 1st time that everyone got to cheer up in anywhere. what

these horrible things were done to them. now i believe that will be more and more difficult for the government, the united states to keep secret what happened to the other people. ah, hello, that just says 6 peer moscow time, wednesday evening. welcome to world news from our world is h q. it's kevin, over here at ortiz, this, our, this, you heard the big story today. again, the migrant crisis continues. and the polar barrows border with thousands of people been camping and harsh conditions as the political situations been heating up. as we've been reporting of the last couple of days, the temperatures are only getting colder. these a live pictures through from our a video agency, roughly you can say it's clear sky. there's going to get chilly tonight to think about minus 5. these paper outside very live covering, trying to make,

make shift covers over their head with branches and stuff. trying to light fires with what appears to be damp wood where to begin with that not letting those fires go out. he's the only means of warmth. adding to the plight of the migrant food of water supplies are also said to be running really low as well. now, while having to keep their bodies warm in damp sleeping bags will limit these die and conditions. at least 8 individual be reported to died in recent months. first off, we spoke to people in that comp, among them one particular little boy that stood out for us as disabled guy who's hoping to get treatment eventually said in the you who you want to be when you grow old the day, cause i was born with the disease and his leg up, we tried very hard to get we didn't get to the initial country then also from germany. but we were not allowed to leave the cell after several years of not being allowed to leave. the doctor told us that his legs had to be amputated since them

he has been using the visa, his legs, working with those legs. they get him to smoothly for him. every 6 months, they get a small grow and we don't have the money to change them life and he can't go to school play in the playground, all the children and him because he has a disability. what's your favorite game to play more like going along side with these prosthesis legs. he can't just one little snapshot of life and people are affected. but as if he hasn't got enough to go through already. well, meantime, poland deployed additional troops and police and as well as military hardware to the board in declaring a state of emergency that comes off to micro start a storm. the frontier monday, cutting through razor was so much over there and come to get done with trunks of from trees as they went along. crashes broke out with border guards who used t a gun. the sound of gunfire was also heard. now according to polish estimates,

as many as 4000 people remain at the ball to put their own. so thinking as well as many as 10000 bull could be elsewhere. busy in battle roast, trying to get to that frontier in some form of safety to make a new life in the e. u. many refugee to the comp low at the moment. say that desperately lacking basic supplies on tuesday evening to reported humanitarian organizations did manage to deliver some aid, including food, water, warm clothes, and blankets and mores already arrived to day. konstantin rose. coff isn't the same . this is his latest report. hundreds of migrants have gathered to get free food delivered by val, russian volunteers and the local red cross. this is much needed. how for these refugees, a stuck here at the polar show, valerie border that now we can see that kid's there. serve a 1st to get milk in somebody cookies. this is much needed help with a poor of migrants if they're wanting extremely low on supplies. you know, for the past few days, these people have been on a poor dyed made up of junk food or potatoes,

cooked on campfires. but even these can stocks are almost gone now a whole is another problem for these migrants, most of which came from the middle east temperatures now dropped below 0 degrees celsius at night. and these people have to sleep right on the freezing ground, not just man, but also women and children pam fires. let's have a look at the scene here. and you can see, lot of campfires, they are now never stopped burning because david cam crucial for these people's survival, of course, cold and food deprivation is an extremely dangerous mix. recently we came across a boy who was barely responsive, his mother told us he couldn't get absence this morning and refused to eat. she's worried sick that her son might die at this camp. and you know, the problem is that there are no medics on site. unfortunately, these refugees are at the end of their robes. they don't want to stain values but all and doesn't let them into the routine union refusing to consider their asylum

applications. at some point, almost every one of these scamp lined up along the barbed wire fence over there, and people chanted open the border in a desperate attempt to bring attention to their plight. and i didn't take any immediate effect though, as the polish security forces stood still and just idly looked at these people through the layers of barbed wire. so all of utterly humanitarian assistance is being handed at a group of nobel prize winners. nose appealed to institutions to take action to open, let a publish choose they. they said that europe's got no right to take their eyes. 1 off the tragedies, they put it to money that polish authorities allow journalists and human rights organizations end to the border area from the east side of the shot depends ski. with more on that part of the story. tonight. as this humanitarian crisis plays out as desperate people wait to try and enter into the

e u. they are being treated like they are political ping pong that has been humanitarian assistance able to get through. but it's not very much. and that's why these poor noble prize winners have written this open, let it now demanding that humanitarian organizations have regular access. to help out the polish government impose the state of emergency on the buddhist trip. but when perlin and baller bruce on the basis of which to refuse the excess of sick and dying in the border area to doctors and paramedics, and prevented the media from accessing the tragedy that was going on, there were call on the aid organizations that can provide medical and legal assistance to be allowed to enter the border area. poland has been securing its board or for some time has been putting up barbed wire fences. it's been installing more surveillance cameras to see what's going on and it sent more than 10000 troops . and police officers to try and shore its frontiers. and now it appears that the

e u, which at the moment, is currently finding poland, 1000000 euros every day for its refusal to back down on the it's you dish reforms and is withholding billions of euros in covert recovery funds appears that it's ready to open me write a new blank check for poland in a bid to shore that barrier that infrastructure on the border there to security. easton, frontiers just a month ago that you said that was out of the question. now it seems that that is very much back on the table. in the meantime, the other thing that's being discussed is, sanctions, more sanctions are due to be announced next week. that's what we're hearing from diplomatic sources, not just against bella roost, but also we understand that this could be extended to russian and turkish airline carriers that operate from middle eastern countries and fly in to this situation

really seems like it's rapidly deteriorating. yeah, and in other news to brief you only you is revealing a sense of superiority in its approach to the migrant crisis on the polish better russian borders says, russia's foreign ministers. so gay love making that accusation as he met with his better russian counterpart here in moscow. bit earlier it come when you overshoot of the polish unless lenient didn't come to us asking for help. they enjoy their own sense of independence. making loud claims and blaming belarus. and brushing, so they didn't ask anybody for help. this is a display of their arrogance and impunity. so good, belittle the foreign minister as representing allies, men's skin moscow have spoken out against how the european union member states have been treating bowers in the wake of the border crisis that is refusing to deal with the bell. russian government directly to at least try and work out solution for

what's happening at the border. we also heard from the top diplomats that all the proposals that were coming from mince for her talks have been completely ignored by european countries. instead, according to the allies, minsk continues to receive threats of further isolation and more punishment in the form of sanctioning. now i asked the foreign ministers what they make of the way some senior polish officials and commentators began drawing parallels between what's happening at the border right now with the beginning of world war 2. that was back in 1939, some of the darkest days. in polish history, and this was the response by circular rob virginia street in political discussions, the west is increasingly reverting to historical examples in parallels. but they always chair was picked information if poland says the situation resembles 1939.

and then why did he not remember 1938 when czechoslovakia was torn apart? for example, the openness such parallels are absolutely inappropriately william and reflect and inadequacy in the logical of people saying zealous. it only means that the so called young europeans continue to pull europe towards escalating confrontations with both belarus and russia. i hope that responsible europeans will do not allow themselves be drawn into this dangerous spiral if the message from some of the most senior year p and union officials has been the same since the very outbreak of the crisis. that is, that means is trying to wage hybrid war against the blog. but what i heard from the bell russian top double mad was that he's actually amazed how he's never seen the same kind of attitude towards the european union's neighbors in the mediterranean or in the balkans. given the scale of the influx of refugees that the block has seen for years from the south and from the southeast. here is what else?

the bell russian top level mad said about that problem, or the problem is not beller roost, but the european union. what exactly is their strategy? it is to punish a rebellious country that has taken a different point of view and has taken in their opinion at some unacceptable steps . it is an absolutely intolerable approach, shown there must be dialog future, but they have driven themselves. so char, into a corner that they cannot get out of his stomach, and then it happened that they did not even recognize the legitimacy of the fellow russian government was in a couple to now they do not know how to get out of this situation. this is clearly nothing but a complete diplomatic deadlock and the situation on the border isn't likely to improve any time soon. but at least mens has been reassured once again during wednesdays meeting that it's got the backing of its eastern ally. mean time. moscow says that western countries, including poland, devoted himself to blame for the spiraling crisis and emphasized their rolling

conflicts in the middle east. where many of these migrants have come from in the 1st place. as the blame game on rivals between european states and better was with poland, even dragging russia into the dispute too. but ocean political analysts and journalists, but im y'all theme of believes that poland instigated the whole problem to get brussels attention is colored so whoops you it is not mense. had started the escalation with warsaw it started a year ago when sanctions were imposed. what arose to day cannot be seen as the star points in any way as it, as a consequence of previous actions. we must agreed that the inaction of the polish side also led to unpleasant consequences. there was assigned agreement between bellows from the european union on the return of migrants who illegally crossed the polish fellow russian border. and certain programs were formed under this agreements. money had to be allocated comes out to be built for migrants returning to belarus. all of this was forgotten. interest in poland from brussels is falling

sharply, including in the areas of finance. so somehow poland needed to regain this interest . it needed to attract attention to artificially create some problems in order to ask for help. but help would only be forthcoming if it was not to blame someone needed to be blamed. therefore, belarus was an easy target because poland didn't want to accept migrants. it's had invited the best option would have been if warsaw had negotiated with germany or a rack and found a mutual understanding with president lucas shank o. the poland didn't want to do this. battle roost did not achieve its fav adoption . in this option would have seen poland simply let the migrant sit up earlier invited in go to germany. melanie today few or frontline national health service staff in england will have to be fully vaccinated against cove. it all they face losing their jobs. the plan's been outlined by the government although estimate suggest more than

a 120000 health and social care workers could now quit over the issue. shut evers dashti report. obviously that's usually concerning the sector that's already so short staffed an impact assessment already coming through warning that this will of course lead to a reduction in the services and lead to delays in the services as well. but try to target the health secretary insist weighing the pros and cons. the pros of keeping people say actually tip the balance. they carry a unique responsibility. they have this responsibility because they are in close contact with some of the most vulnerable people in our society. particularly an issue of being under stop when the increase of demands are happening in health services like one directly behind me. and if you put that all into the context, all the pressures of the pandemic, many and it professionals are really disappointed with the government. they feel demoralized and they don't want to be pressured into this. they feel co threatened

and ultimately forced into this policy. now trade union speaking on behalf of many of the and h as professional say this move using the law will actually do more harm than good . the government hasn't listen to what many people told them that during that consultation, which is that potentially the fact that they're reaching press sledgehammer on this using the law. or even the chief executive of n h. a provider says that the government actually needs to try and win the argument through the powers of persuasion not just using and imposing as the laws to do so. and in any case, is there really a need for this in the 1st place, considering already 90 percent of any just stuff already, double fascinated versus only falls around 50000 unvaccinated people what they can fully vaccinated? and is that really enough to push through a policy like this? then if we take that here example of those in social care, now the deadline for all of those members, a staff in social care to be double vaccinated,

it actually later this week on thursday and still that policy with an out of because we've actually seen a gradual increase of people becoming vaccinated, but a huge amount of people have again, entirely left the sector. so it seems like there is a bit of logic for the government trying to protect those most vulnerable. of course that is fair enough, but what we do know here is there isn't really a public opinion. there isn't really much of an appetite to make. these are vaccinations, compulsory, whatever the profession is. so it is a very risky move. indeed, we are likely to see a mass exodus of n h, a star professional from a health service already on it near the government said it wasn't to keep people safe. but. 2 i want to clean and they end up doing the opposite. or meantime, the head of an aide shows england's face accusations are trying to scare people into getting vaccinated after she claimed current covered hospital admissions was surgeon 14 times the number of people in the hospital with cave. it that we

saw this time last year. and we've also had a record number of a, any attendances, but the outdated figures she was referring to actually from august, while in fact the very latest data shows the current number of covey patients in hospital is actually lower than a year ago. and claims provoked to storm a criticism on line them. if n h s. c, e o. amanda pritchard is so far out on her own data. she is either utterly incompetent or deliberately trying to mislead and scare the population. either way, shocking and unacceptable. not surprising. the n h s is in a mess and needs reform today and a chest chief executive, amanda pritchett talked complete and utter nonsense about cove. fergus, either she deliberately lied or she has no idea what's going on in hospitals. it is reprehensible that someone in such a powerful position should get it so wrong. they lie to suit the fact that she was

warning paper that there was a building problem for the n h. s. was lost in this debate and excitement about the numbers which were frankly, just the mistake. there are certain people who will exploit what are mistakes for their own ends to generate bad publicity for treatment. for caving for vaccine making mistakes means that false numbers get out into the public domain and they will be, or can be seized upon by people with alteri motives, to generate bad publicity, create doubt in people's mind when really all it is is just a mistake. after harrowing revelations of torture in the guantanamo bay detention center, we've heard from internationally recognized lawyer nancy hollander. she described the importance of a recent trial which saw a former c i. a detainee. get the 1st public testimony of abuse at the hands of american agents. all into hopes the case stubbed as a stay. you know,

the moral fiber of america will set a precedent them for other victims, held it american secret jails around the world. not seal and visit pi powered american criminal defense lawyer, best known representing to guantanamo bay. detainees, as well as with the blow. chelsea manning charged course in the us with a leak of classified data room. fact susan released, she won. now. she was portrayed by actress jodie foster and the movie more italian, but a get mo detainee being held with a charge of film. and today's going underground show you can see that various times throughout the day she expands on the case of budget, can a former prisoner of the ca, who claims to have been brutally treated. this is the 1st time that everyone got to hear, ah, in anywhere. what these horrible things were done, did them go back and look at the 16th century england and you'll know what happened to him, basically just horrific. and that's what happened to the others in the black sites

also. i mean it's so nothing has happened. i mean, this is just in the past few days, nothing has happened. that senate ripple, which is the cia of legal torture in 2014. and he says when he says clearly, the more he cooperated, the more he was tortured. that's what he says. yes. the whole thing is so is so too horrible the senate report makes public some of what happened to our clients, but not everything. and now more is coming out. and now i believe it will be more and more difficult for the government of the united states to keep secret what happened to the other people, the 911 people and my client. and of course, there are $26.00 men in guantanamo who've never been charged with any crime who have not pleaded guilty. they're just there as if some kind of permanent

detention which is totally anathema to the united states based on what his plea was. and what he was charged with their obligation was to sentence him to at least 25 years 25 to i don't remember the top and 40. they sentenced him to 26 years. but then at the request of his defense counsel, ah, who asked that they asked for clemency. they did. and 7 of the 8 wrote a hand written magnificent letter. saying this was a stain on america. he came, they didn't quite say he was tortured, but they said he, what high his treatment came close to the torture in other countries that we don't permit. ah, this is horrible and he should have clemency. ah, is quite an astounding letter. also he has an a he is plea deal is secret

so we don't really know what it is and but he could be released soon. ah, place portugal have rated nearly a 100 homes across the country as part of the investigation into smuggling fortunes from the central african republic. portuguese soldiers serving as un peacekeepers are suspected of trafficking, diamonds, gold, and drugs. back into europe, or seni correspondence got the story. the central african republic is the 2nd poorest country on earth, a cold urine of, of misery, poverty, violence, and sexual abuse. and those sent to help to alleviate the misery and up bathing in it. what is it issue at the moment is the possibility that some of the soldiers who took part in the national, detached force in the ca are we used as couriers and the trafficking of diamonds,

gold and narcotics to sum up since at least 2019 portuguese troops have been allegedly smuggling, diamonds, gold, and even drugs out of c a r, and into europe. they would use military aircraft to or they checks and they would then load the presumably millions in elicit cash. these they would do by night, by day that buell smiles, dancing and parading has the un lavish them with medals. i salute visible unless visible sacrifice. that ish mumbled, contingent has made in the course of your good. that ceremony was held after the un had been notified what some of those shiny soldiers had been up to. then again, the united nations hasn't been at its best in the central african republic far from

it, rape for starters. hardly a year goes by without another scandal involving un peacekeepers and a multitude of rape victims, including under age girls in country where armed groups routinely prey on civilians . peacekeepers should be protectors, not predators. peacekeepers to rape, exploit or kill should not simply be sent home with no commitment to justice. the problem is, if you start prosecuting un troops, you'd have to start jailing bureaucrats as well. because while the grunts frolic and miss behave on the ground, the paper pushes up top, pull off the most extraordinary nonsense, like leasing land for a military base from a company which profited off of blood diamonds. the un has paid more than half a $1000000.00 to the company on its own sanctions lists for allegedly fuel in the

conflict and central african republic through the sale of blood diamonds. so now that it's all out there, what do they do? they blame russians. we're calling the central african republic government to end all relationships with private military and security personnel, particularly the wagner group. no joke, a group of us experts who, by the way, don't speak for the un want the central african republic to kick out russian instructors. united states has gone further. blaming. private military contract has russians for all sorts of very ironic ills. brashness injuries, engaging human rights abuses of civilians, extract steep costs in payments and mineral concessions, and deprived local citizens of critical any debts. resources. a comment that has aged very badly given recent revelations, namely, an alleged fondness for smuggling, diamonds gold and drugs among portuguese troops. making the millions while half the

population starves, but their grievances that russian p. m. c's, bother and harass un peacekeepers. preventing them from doing what they want. which in my book is probably a good thing. now that we've learned what it is that you had troops get up to what we see now in the central african republic with these serious, incredible allegations with regard to portuguese troops, is that it's a continuation of a pass that may of us thought had disappear after portugal was forcibly ousted from africa or some decades ago. but alas, the exploitation contin obviously as discrediting to the peacekeeping mission, it's clear that there is a certain dysfunction with regard to united nations. and you see the evidence,

i'm afraid to say in the central african republic, the security council needs to be on top of this. and certainly there needs to be serious reform of these missions. because increasingly, they seem to be doing as much imagine as they are doing good and that's not the way the right nations are supposed to work. and that wraps up this new edition. thanks for watching for me, kevin. i was in a great team with me today without international as ever. stand by for crosstalk after the break. ah ah ah, ah ah

ah ah. a ah with move when i was showing wrong when i just don't hold any world. yes to safe out. disdain becomes the advocate and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah,

ah. hello and welcome to cross off. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle. it would seem, with every passing day, were allowed to openly discuss fewer in keyword topics. the events on capitol hill on january 6 is one of them. what happened that day is a 3rd rail. was it a riot or an insurrection? even asking, this is inflammatory. it shouldn't be ah cross stocking january 6, i'm joined by my guess, my leak abdel in washington. he is a g p strategist in atlanta. we have robert patello. he is a civil rights attorney.
