2:00 pm
ah, hello, live am worldwide. this is artie internationals, world news at time with me calling bry welcome to the program. first britain has confirmed that its sent a group of soldiers to the poland, but a roof border in a deal with ball. so i made an escalating stand off of a migrants that already reached the level of the un security council. but a roast is accusing poland and lithuania of using the crisis to get extra funding from brussels. but several western members of the un security council se bella rose is actually trying to destabilize neighboring countries and allegation that's found little traction with russia. we, the current european union members of the security council condemn the orchestrated instrumentalists zation of human beings. or there is a game or for shifting blaine now or european union. remember about the reasons why these people are really, are fleeing their countries, which countries destroyed or they are countries. international organizations need to be provided with immediate and unhindered access to people there in this no
2:01 pm
problem for journalists for and jose food go to the places where the migrants are placed. on. on the contrary, there is no excess for ins, yos for journalists fall into years to the areas where the $15000.00, according to some estimates polish guards. i see jesus. well, this is some of the latest video from the migrant camp, posted by the bell. russian state border committee. thousands of asylum seekers are in the area as they maintain hopes of trying to gain entry into the e. u. a poland introduced a state of emergency on its eastern frontier with bella rou, since september, effectively banning journalists and, and jose from entering the area, thus hindering efforts to report on the crisis and provide aid. instead, 15000 pony soldiers were deployed to ensure the migrants didn't get across the border. and as i said earlier, pretty soldiers have now been sent that to address the situation as well. more on that next from our london correspondent, shoddy edwards dashti. clearly, britain and poland, a very close allies, they have
2:02 pm
a long history of friendship. and so britain now extending this involvement into what is being seen as a humanitarian crisis, is an act of solidarity and support from westminster, of course, and has been extremely vocal about what it sees as the weapon ization of migrants by the government in better route. and actually all use is an effort to destabilize the european union. now bella reese, of course, obviously denies all of this, but britain now getting involved could be interpreted as an escalation of all of these issues. although. 8 britain is certainly not wanting it to be seen in that way. however, the ministry of defense here in the united kingdom has now announced that a small team of armed forces armed personnel have now been deployed to poland. we're not exactly sure of what small team really means in terms of the numbers, but they all that to provide engineering support. interesting to see what exactly that engineering support may look like. we've also seen
2:03 pm
a statement from the polish defense minister as well, who says that troops have now joined the reconnaissance mission with their polish counterparts on the board. and now that basically means ascertaining a certain strategic operations in surveying what options that they may have. it's wanting to navigate away out of this humanitarian crisis. so it will be really interesting. now to see what difference does the british government getting involved really make? well, we see anything really different happening on the board to, particularly for these migrants. they will be interesting to see how the international community a react to it, and crucially, whether they see it as an escalation what it's going to steer on some of those questions i'd like to london now and international affairs commentators. mako gas is welcome back to all t you surprised that the u. k. is the one sending reinforcements? not one of pounds more geographically. closer allies like germany. not really because it sends
2:04 pm
a signal to the nato eastern part of the western partners are very much involved. and it's also send a signal, i think, to the rest of us, that nato is involved in this. and this is a migrant fig leaf. over a g, a political situation, what we have here really is an extension of the use desire and nato's desire to remove. i pro russian leda latterly from bella, ruth, and replacing with appliance topic that would be the opposite, right next to russia. so this is all about increasing the enclosure on russia. this is really tackled russia by stages. unfortunately, as it generally is in the region, symbolic as it may be, does the presence of british troops suggested by the u. k and poland? see that's not a problem. that's a humanitarian crisis, but that it's a military threat. well, yes, this is to legitimize the presence over nato troops on the, on the bell. it was bought. they'll do some structures now, no build of
2:05 pm
a structure later when they're there they're, there they and the patent with nature it tends not to with joy, it tends to stay where it goes. and so this is really the just amazing nature right there on the better is border with whatever it 20 in the future. so this is really not about the migrants of migrant press. been a bit of a sick leave. this is about fellow roost as a, as a states or political activities are 6 and the need to look like they want to replace the, the manager of the theatre with one. so they're liking, that's really what it's about. and that's probably what it's always been about, because the number of migrants we're talking here is small. looks like it's going to remain small because the roots for those micros are being close now. they can only arrive by 2 of the 3 routes by which they've arrived and now being closed. so therefore, there is no crisis unless nature choose to decide to make it a precursor to maybe a larger partition, military presence, empowerment at the moment. the numbers are around a dozen or so,
2:06 pm
but could that be more? well, they official now said a small group, and that's usually when they, when they have a small group, a bigger group is planned. it means the thing is being considered. and it's, it's a small intro with a large ending, and i think that's really what this is about. you will see more and more troops, i'm sure, in this state of nature activity because they so is not a trading organization, is a wall making organization. and it's chosen target chart, target choice, who is russia? so we know this is always about russia. unfortunately, even when is about dollars, do you think questions will be asked to high levels about why poland inviting in british soldiers, but not humanitarian workers or journalists to document what's going on? well yeah, i think this is, this is, this is the message to all concerned that made. so is now taking this into its own area of activity as i say with the numbers tie, m and l mole arriving every week,
2:07 pm
probably in the u. k. instead of micro flows and they're all totally here on the border or better, ruth and poland pretty choose ones to be active, preventing a migrant than perhaps we should see them back up the white clip of over rather than the muddy feels of the been a russian polish frontier, i don't know what really they are doing that. they're not legitimate. they're accepted so much of the nature of the business and working out how to use this situation to further erode popularity. lucas should go in bella. ruth, and try and put this published weight in poland already into his place. that's what this is about. okay, we'll, we'll keep watch on it as we have been all week for now. live from london, marco got fish. thanks for your time. have a great weekend. thank you. you too on the movement of people that we're currently seeing at the bellows, poland borders happening elsewhere on a much larger scale. of course. an influx of people fleeing conflicts in the middle east began years ago, and there are now well established routes to get into western europe and just have
2:08 pm
a look at some of those. one popular route starts from pakistan and afghanistan. they had through eastern europe before eventually reaching italy and germany. in fact, the united nations says that 75000 migrants of travel through bosnia and herzegovina since 2018 artes maria financial. i spoke to a people smuggler who was offering to take migrants into northern germany. overture walden border. i think these people are legally cross the border because that governments did not allow them to went to europe using legal methods was they tried to flee and get as quickly as possible to european countries like germany, switzerland. some of them were on the run for 3 to 4 years as soon as they crossed that border and get into germany, it's a done deal and they are free to travel anywhere within the european union. they don't get caught in germany, but they put them down an asylum centers. and after a while they get permits because they flow their id cards so they can't be deported as german authority. don't know where they come from. which basically we were
2:09 pm
trying to help them find a better life. otherwise they most likely would have been caught, put in some kind of asylum center, and then the ported back to their home countries. now, as soon as they cross the border and get to germany, they are free. it was scary. the 1st time i did this adrenalin fear police drone arrests, a lot of my friends got caught while transporting them. migrants were sent back and they, my friends, went to prison. most of the activities at done during the night, there are a wild animals, you wait and hedges or canals until you cross over that kind of thing. we came across all kinds of migrants from algeria, tuners here, egypt, i don't know, but there were all kinds which we honestly transported from the gel gina to cause in. whereas others trick them stole from left them on the side of the road, which we stole the money from them. we got no, it was who, when you look at them, they look mostly poor and don't look like terrorists. i've become involved in this business over time. for many years, having known some people wages here,
2:10 pm
a lo so it is what it is. so for transporting them, you get paid. well, while simultaneously helping some one, it's $300.00 to $500.00 euros per person. while emory joined andrew farmer to expand on that interview and talk about the risks that migrants are prepared to take. i remember how surprised i was to 1st hear that to max of is not his real name to go around in people across the border and that the price is between 30500 yours person in we felt he didn't tell us the truth, but i just couldn't understand why would he lie? but later off camera, he admitted what he was doing during the interview. he was trying to deliberately diminish these numbers for security reasons. but in all other aspects, facts and details he gave us, i can tell you, he was quite honest. my job in the last few years at least, was to transport migrants along with my team from bridge l. gina,
2:11 pm
where people had previously transferred them across the serbian border through improvised methods. so we picked them up and transport them, obviously at night through some wooded areas. sometimes 510, sometimes. 20 mostly sick is in, and the clergy in a region where other people then transported the mom, the path was through serbia and also through small or big boats where they would sneak in. they also sometimes travel by laurie's. they get under a laurie, it's a tough road. they come to turkey and also bulgaria, basically flew the poor country so to speak, like albania, bosnia and then they go to croatia, germany and from there elsewhere from turkey, they get transported to bulgaria. well, bulgaria isn't the european union. if they get caught there, they get sent back to turkey because there are no asylum laws allowing them to stay they legally. so they come here because it's easy to migrate from here to the european union. yes, understand it's web covering quite significant part of the world. and in old trends,
2:12 pm
countries let's say, from pakistan to germany, you have to understand there are people like macs that you as a migrant has to go and pay as we heard the un things, something like 70000 people have gone through that country in order to try to get to western europe. why is that? why is it such a popular route? first, it's the shortest possible way to get to be today. but there is another reason both, and he's also famous for being loyal to these kind of people because of their pat over the past because they still remember how does it feel to do refugee and how does it feel run away from your roads, motherland. the war there was over more than 25 years ago, but they still remember it. and i can say in a level of society, people still sympathize with refugees and migrants. and another reason, the part from the countries past in the present, the reason the very high level of corruption and very complicated political system and a very high unemployment rate and all day is altogether pushed so many youngsters
2:13 pm
down the criminal business while you were filming. and pause you saw managed to speak to migrant student, you who sort of going through that trying to get to western europe and heard 1st time their experience most if you had a legal migrant and you want to go to europe, you have basically 2 options to go to people like mags, but that's in case you have money. another option is good on your own, and i mean that's risk care. that's more dangerous. you can get caught and no one can give you any guarantee that you will ever succeed. but still many people choose the 2nd option because they don't have money. they don't have that choice. we often take us on his normal journey from a how he usually take migrants, you know, to the equation border out within the walls. and on the way there, while we would just try the, we saw several groups of migrants and we stopped twice. and 1st group was from nissan. they left the country 4 months ago, right before the talib one came to power there. and another group was from pakistan,
2:14 pm
they were like 20 people there. i was, i was like shocked. and we stopped and talked. and 1st i was so surprised that they were not hiding and asked why. and they told us they have the official refugee paper is given to them by the balls and authorities. speaking about how loyal this country is to these people. so if they try to cross the board and they get deported, they can only be deported. back to bosnia, so they don't have to do this whole journey from scratch from pakistan. are you going, going to tell you the value? no idea how many trying 6 times please just invoice and then you try again. so you have been walking all the time. when did you leave bucket time? before? do you want him to view you left like he found 2 years ago and you still
2:15 pm
want to go, i don't know. i don't the only one. not going, but you're in bosnia filming for new documentary. yeah. tell us more about that. we were filming a documentary about one serbian guy living in serbian part of both now who long time ago wants to become a priest, but became a soldier. and that because the war came to his motherland, and he had to defend his family and his country basically. but after the war was over, more than 25 years ago, he was still looking for it somehow. and this is how he ended up working for companies like black water and how he started traveling to places like iraq, afghanistan, g, booty, sri lankan, all all the countries. and many of them in africa, a, with the so called private security emissions. so it's a very motion. oh, very actually said documentary about this person. he that he explained to us that he was pushed 1st to do that to be
2:16 pm
a soldier. but after that he got kind of like war addiction, social commentary. but he, him, but the right at least to bigger messages that i want to send out 1st is that wars a so bad, but the situation in postwar zones and post conflict countries is sometimes even more dramatic. and that should be addressed. and another message was, is especially important for me as a piece advocate is that there are so many wars and conflicts in more than world that people like our main character whose name is dushan, will hardly be left jobless any time soon. and that is very sad, harold, while the news now and in germany the covert situations taken a grim turn as infection writes, continue to break national records with the country reporting its highest daily cut, the new number of covey cases. since the pandemic began, hospitals are increasingly under pressure and the authorities calling for urgent action as peter oliver report next from berlin. grim grim figures have been coming
2:17 pm
out of germany over the last 48 hours. really, they've been pretty grim figures for the last few weeks. mark is zada, the leader of the state of bavaria. he's been expressing serious concern about the number of hospital admissions that we've had across germany, saying that the health care system is really creating to it's breaking point. fact is, the fact is that the hospitals are full, they are the limits, both in terms of the workload and the emotional situation i thought is why it's important that we act. and now we've also heard from yen spahn, the german health minister, interm health minister. we still don't have a new government exactly yet. begins spawn has said the free code it will be reintroduced. now they, we've done away with a little while ago, and once they were gotten rid of, we saw the numbers start to go up because it had to be very easy for german to get to test. if you thought you may have any particular issues. there was one on almost
2:18 pm
every corner you go and you get it done, done and around 1015 minutes, they were then taken away. you could still get test done, but you have to pay for them. and we've seen them. there's rise again. this isn't just a german issue though. we're also seeing situations in austria and the netherlands as well, severely restricting the freedoms of those who can not prove if they've been vaccinated, or in some cases that they've recovered from coven 19. now in germany, the vaccination rate is around 67 percent that's lower considerably than the 75 percent. that health experts said countries need to or populations need to meet in order for the vaccination to be as successful as it can be. often the laga, even if the situation is different, because so many are vaccinated, it is still not good, especially because not enough citizens have taken advantage of the availability of the vaccine. and that's why we have to continue to be careful. right, well we're being told here in germany to avoid large events and limit contact.
2:19 pm
certainly all situations that would be not advised if you listen to what the, the robert cock institute of had to say about limiting the amount of contact and limiting the possibility of catching cove. it as case numbers right here in germany significantly. while, as peter mentioned, austria is also suffering reco daily coven cases, prompting the government there to bring in special restrictions, but only for the unvaccinated. i don't see why 2 thirds should lose their freedom, because one 3rd is dithering for me to clear that there should be no log down for the vaccinated out of solidarity for the unvaccinated. and what this means is from monday they'll be tough restrictions for unvaccinated people in austria is to hardest head regions. it means they'll only be allowed to leave their homes for central reasons, such as to buy groceries, see a doctor, or go to work. and parliament will decide on sunday, on a nation wide imposition of such measures elsewhere around the world. other moves
2:20 pm
are being taken in singapore for example cove at patients who declined the jap will have to pay for their own medical bills. regents in germany, a limiting restaurants, bars and clubs to only those who are inoculated or recently recovered from the disease or grease visitors to restaurants, state services and banks must present vaccination certificates or negative test result. and here in russia, the city of st. petersburg is imposing mandatory vaccinations for senior citizens. we discussed the impact of the measures with medical and social expert. will be a better way to convince people to another to protect themselves, but also protect others. we emphasize the law on anti gain and infection control measures and being sensible. no, so i am safe distance in so i just feel that the whole force compulsory takes is to another level. it just takes away the choice. and i think that's deeply worrying. county, or the restriction is largely based on trying to prevent transmission or just
2:21 pm
trying to get the numbers up to make sure more people are vaccinated. as they say circulating society. no, we want to get the numbers off because if you get the numbers up a number of positive benefits, a crew one, the person is protected from severe illness and dying. that's one second, they're most unlikely to end up in the hospital. and then the 3rd, a immunized person is infectious for a short period of time. what we're seeing is a lot of confusion in maybe even some moral panic and hysteria that's coming from a lot of these bubbles and communities that are sharing concerns about the fears of not being vaccinated or the fears are being vaccinated. i'm way still vulnerable in, in our places what like, you know, i'm patients have visitors come in, you know, there's lots of people coming in to the hospitals and i think is quite unfair to just target those, those health care work because you know and force it in i think
2:22 pm
a lot of it, when we not really, i mean i went to auntie vaccine. you know, we can see the importance of having the vaccine. however, i think you're just going to a different level when is compulsory in sensitive places such as one robot, patients severely, clinically wonderful, etc. we've got to off, but you are safe to manage them. and therefore, if you are working in that area, you've got to be immunized. certainly, i don't know how many my students are vaccinated or not at universities in the u. k . really like sharing that information. it's going to create a scenario where these passports and these documents really have us looking one way or another at somebody and the social ramifications of this, including the immense inequalities that could come from the treatment of each other . because of these laws and whether people conform or not, i have been talking to a lot of health care workers who have been hesitant about vaccines. a lot of them
2:23 pm
from menacing homes. and i gave them of my time effort and energy, showing them how the vaccine works, what it does, what it doesn't do, how to protect them, and in the end, most of them went on to get immunized. so we need to do our homework of inform, advised educate as well. but when connie we, we saw so some of the anger from u. k. care home workers about being told by politicians to get a vaccination. but that will be people who remember back to last spring and the i was fatality numbers in u. k. cow homes who are going to be thinking, if i'm putting my relative in these care homes, i want people to be vaccinated, they're going to be worried and maybe find that behavior selfish. yes, i expect care workers to be immunized because unfortunately, this corona virus can be infectious and could kill the elderly people without your nights on the day when you were infectious, we have to be careful to not let co bid once again mass
2:24 pm
a lot of the social issues that are going on in society that have been a long time affecting people, causing deaths, causing long time ambulance weights. there are lots of issues that are underlying this are we just like co overtake if you were the government instead of mandatory a covey vaccinations? what would you do to convince people to get a job is not so much about convincing people and people it be mandatory. i think it's more about giving people the choice and given them all the information that they require and letting them have the choice snacks did. a major sat back had the un climate conference. the participants have failed to agree a final statement and canceled the joint news conference. the remain split on whether nuclear power should be called eco friendly. germany is leading the opposition to atomic energy, calling it too expensive and inefficient, preventing climate change. but france and a group of 7 eastern european states insist that without nuclear power,
2:25 pm
the block will fail in its goal to become carbon neutral by the year 2050. meanwhile, the u. k. government with a group of investors will spend an additional $400000000.00 pounds on newbury actors. and the french president says his country will also build more nuclear plants to reduce dependence on energy supplies from abroad. or science. professors young brickman says that the lack of a consensus among the e you states is not surprising. are you going to get all these european countries that have different interesting histories and son to agree, a twin again within the judge and the french speaking and even montana's. the dutch speaking again, regret with showing for these in boxes and the aging. the german position is going to be a stolen or he because they have been opening gold bow lands and using gas and zone to substitute for nuclear energy. they're not doing everything. so cool. renewable name, the solar and wind. now using, you know, cabin, they, me thing. yeah,
2:26 pm
been done. the research of course, run over the hope of getting one teen analogy from new to and then again, seems to me that given the situation really you're worried about, she will do then again, nuclear actually be gone to the other lesser in my with no crucial grievance. being settled on the climate talks headlines about the event dominated by some minor but rather peculiar issues. ah, camilla hasn't stopped talking about hearing the president break when during chat
2:27 pm
at cop $26.00 climate summit in glasgow. ah. with now that i've decided to go next year on where i was in bad language in the event that i should say something inappropriate. i pledge to compensate that by saying something like that. well, they're not the end of the world we're in the weekend. will you take your mind off
2:28 pm
it instead? by catching up next week scottsdale, he's in the art he, america team and washington deconstructing the day's news agenda. i'm calling for a moscow. i'll be back here with you next. global r t updates in around half an hour. see that ah ah ah, how is the economy working for you? we were told this is the time of the great reset and build back better. what does
2:29 pm
this mean to you? how does the green new deal play into this? it seems the richer only getting richer, but what about the rest of us? ah, as over 1000 central american migrants make their way closer to the u. s. a northern california sheriffs is he will no longer work with eyes to transfer immigrants who have committed crimes will tell you why.
