inequality that has existed in the city for centuries. ah, he okay confirms that it has deployed troops to poland border with belarus for potential assistance to warsaw to strengthen the frontier that those thousands of migrants remain camped out in dire conditions. they're hoping to enter the u. amid the build up of asylum seekers on the bellows, poland border r t speaks with a people smuggler who takes migrants into western europe and gives us an exclusive insight into the shady business. they don't get caught in germany, but they put them down an asylum census. and after a while to get the permits because they flow the id cards to the company to pull it, as jim and authority don't know where they come from. and rising covered cases in austria, scene nationwide restrictions re imposed but only for the unvaccinated. and it is by far not the only country to target those who refuse the jap,

we discuss the ramifications. we know anti vaccine. you know, we can see the importance of having the vaccine. however, i think you're just going to different level when is compulsory. i expect to care workers could be immunized, but we have to be careful to not let cove it once again. mass, a lot of the social issues that are going on ah, oh, broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. are now britain has confirmed it's sent a group of soldiers to the poland, belarus border in a deal with warsaw. the move occurs, i made an escalating stand off over my grants that has already reached the level of the un security council. bell roof 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 belarus is actually trying to destabilize neighboring countries. that is an allegation that found little traction with russia. we. the current european union members of the security council condemn the orchestrated instrument delays 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 tis no problem for journalists for jose food, go to the places where the migrants are placed. on, on the contrary, there is no excess for, and joe's for journalists fall into years to the areas where the $15000.00, according to some estimates polish guards. i see jesus, this is some of the latest video from the migrant cam posted by the bel russian

state border committee. thousands of asylum seekers are in the area as they maintain hopes of gaining entry to the you. poland introduced a state of emergency on its eastern frontier with belarus in september that effectively banded journalists and and jails from entering the area. thus hindering efforts to report on the crisis and provide aid instead of 15000 polish soldiers were deployed to ensure the migrants didn't get across the border. and as i mentioned earlier, british soldiers have now been sent there to address the situation as well. more than that from our london corresponded chateau which dusty clearly britain on poland a very close allies. they have 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, partner has been extremely vocal about what it sees as the weapon noise ation of migrants by the government in better route and actually argues as 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 brittany, 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 a statement from the polish defense minister as well, who says that troops have now joined to recognizance mission with that polish counterparts on the board. and now that basically means ascertaining as set to strategic operations and surveying what options that they may have trying 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 that will be interesting to see how the international community of react to. and crucially whether they see it as an escalation. former british euro, n p. paul, not all says the u. k. is protecting its own interests by getting involved. primarily it will be about bolstering of the, the ball defense. i suspect not putting engineering support, but equally i think it will send out a message the written, i believe that has a dog in this fight because when many of these my kids have been interviewed, they said it will be their final destination. and obviously we have a problem with the moment which is going on in the channel, which i was argue is just as bad as what was going on on the polish ocean, both of these my going to and i want to polish reachable that many of them are going to make their way to britain, they will no doubt use the channel these as well. so britain does have

a dog in this fight. the people who is suffering at the moment of those migrants. and there needs to be people getting down the table insulting the issue before when to really kicks in. and in the policy we'll start piling the movement of people we are currently seeing at the bell roof. poland border is happening elsewhere on a much larger scale. an influx of people fleeing conflicts in the middle east began years ago. and there are now well established routes to get to western europe. let's have a look at some of those. a popular migrant root starts in pakistan and afghanistan, they then had through eastern europe before reaching italy and germany. in fact, the un says that 75000 migrants have traveled through bosnia and herzegovina since 2018 or chief maria phoenician. i spoke to a people smuggler who is offering to take migrants into northern germany. robert walden, although i think these people illegally cross the border because their government did not allow them to went to europe using legal methods. 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 cost 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 in 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. basically we were 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 deported 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. the migrants were sent back and they, my friends, went to prison. most of the activities had done during the night. there are 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 regina to cause in. whereas others trick them stole from them, 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, 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. earlier, maria 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 max of is not his real name to get around 80 people across the border and that the price is between 30500. you were as the person in we felt he didn't tell us that

true, but i just couldn't understand why would he live at later off camera? he admitted, but he was during, during the interview, he was trying to deliberately diminish these numbers for security reasons. and 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 bacel, gina 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 to cause 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 cruise, ship germany, and from there elsewhere from turkey, they get transported to bulgaria, while bulgaria is in the european union. if they get caught there, they get sent back to turkey because there are no asylum laws allowing them to stay there legally. so they come here because it's easier to migrate from here to the european union. you have to understand it's a huge web covering quite a significant part of the world. and in all trends and countries, let's say from pakistan to germany, you have to understand there are people like mac that you as a migrant have to go and pay as we heard you and 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, if the shortest possible way to get to be to day. but there is another reason both, and he's also famous for being loyal to these kind of people because of their pat, of its past, because they still remember how does it feel can be refugee and how does it feel

run away from your road motherland. the war there was over more than 25 years ago, but they still remember it. and i can say in a level of societal 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 push so many youngsters down the criminal business while you were filming. and thought you saw or managed to speak to migrant student, you who are sort of going through that trying to get to western europe and heard 1st time their experience most if you are an illegal 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 to do it on your own. and i mean that's re scary. 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 to this 2nd option because they don't have money. they don't have other choice. we asked max to

take us on his normal journey from a to b, just how he usually takes migraines. you know, to the equation border out with, in bosnia and on the way there. well, we would just try the we saw several groups of micros and we stopped twice. and 1st group was from guy on the left, the country 4 months ago, right before the tele button came to power there. and another group was from pakistan and 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 them why. and they told us they have the official refugee paper is given to them by the was in the for, it is speaking about how loyal this country is for these people. so if they try to cross the board and they get deported, they can only be reported back to bosnia. so they don't have to do this whole journey from scratch from pakistan. are you going, going to tell you how many you try

6 times. please just invoice and then you try again. so you have been walking on the final, when did you leave bucket time? before you left by keystone 2 years ago. and you still want to go? i don't. the one, the one. not going the, 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 instead 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 this is how he started traveling to places like iraq, afghanistan, g, booty, israel on, can all, all the countries, many of them in africa, with so called private security missions. so it's very emotional, very actually said documentary about this person. he that he explained to us that he was pushed 1st to doing that to be a soldier. but after that, he got kind of like wor, addiction, so it'll look too much about him, but the raw, it leads to bigger messages that i want to send. first is that wars are so bad, but the situation in postwar, those and post conflict countries is sometimes even more dramatic. and that should be address at another message which 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 to sion will hardly be laughed

jobless anytime soon. and that is very sad. outside of the problems on the bellows border to russian paired troops on joint maneuvers in the region died on friday when their parachutes became tangled. the russian defense ministry says a sudden gust of wind during a jump forced to to to collide leaving their parachutes unable to function correctly. one of the men activated his reserves shoot, but he was already too close to the ground. both men from a group of 250 russian paratroopers, died of their injuries in the hospital. under some other news now in germany, the covered coven situation has taken the bleak turn. as infection rates continued to break national records that as the country reports its highest daily numbers of new current virus cases. since the pandemic began, hospitals are increasingly under pressure and authorities are calling for urgent action. as our pitter oliver reports from berlin. grim grim figures have been

coming 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 its breaking point. practiced. the fact is that the hospitals are full. they are the limits both in terms of the workload and the emotional situation. that is why it's important that we act. now. we've also heard from yen spahn, the german health minister of interim health minister. we still don't have a new government tia exactly yet. but again, spawn has said that free coven tests will be reintroduced. now they, we've done away with a little while ago. and once they were gotten rid of, we saw numbers start to go up because it had been very easy for german to get a test. if you thought you may have any particular issues,

there was one on almost every corner you go in, you get it done. don't around 1015 minutes, they were then taken away. you can still get test done, but you have to pay for them. and we've seen numbers 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 cannot 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 is 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. while we're being told here in germany, to avoid large events and limit contact,

certainly all situations that would be not advise to listen to what the, the robert cock institutes about to say about limiting the amount of contact and limiting the possibility of catching cove. it is case numbers rise here in germany significantly. as peter mentioned, austria is also suffering record. daily coven cases, prompting the government 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, it's clear that there should be no log down for the vaccinated out of solidarity for the on vaccinated. from monday there will be tough restrictions for unvaccinated people in austria's to hardest hit regions. that means they will only be allowed to leave their homes for a central reason, such as to buy groceries or see a doctor or go to work. and parliament will decide on sunday, on the nationwide in position of such measures elsewhere around the world. other

moves being taken in singapore, for example, koby patients who declined the job will have to pay for their own medical bills. regions in germany are limiting restaurants, bars and clubs to only those who are inoculated or have recently recovered from the disease in greece, visitors to restaurants, state services, and banks must present vaccination certificates or negative test result. while here in russia, the city of st. petersburg is imposing mandatory vaccinations for senior citizens, a restrictions all around in the netherlands though, where violent protests followed the announcement that a partial lockdown is being imposed from saturday. it will last for at least 3 weeks and mean curfews in public places. early closing for hospitality and non essential businesses and no more than 4 guests in gatherings at home. on thursday, the netherlands logged its highest daily infection rate since the pandemic began with countries attempt varying degrees of locked downs earlier. my colleague con

bray discussed with medical and social experts, the impact of targeting non vaccinated citizens will be a better way to convince people to another, to protect themselves, but also protect others. we emphasize the lot on anti gain and infection control measures and being sensible. no, so i am safe distance in so i, i just feel that the whole force compulsory and takes it to another level. it just takes away the choice. and, and i think that the people are in the con county or the restrictions largely based on trying to prevent transmission or just 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 dine. that's one second. they're most unlikely to end up in 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 a concerns about the fears of not being vaccinated or the fears are being vaccinated and ways still vulnerable. and in our places what like, you know, i'm patients have visitors coming. you know, there's lots of people coming in to the house and i think it's quite unfair to just target those. and those health care work because you know and forced it in thing to love it. when we not mean i went to auntie vaccine, you know, we can see the importance of having to vaccine. however, i think in just going to a different level, when is compulsory in sensitive places, sometimes one ruble, patients severely, clinically wonderful, etc. we've got to ask that you are safe to manage them. and therefore, if you are operating 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 . don't 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 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, advise, educate as well, but my county where 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. k. 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 knowing on the day you were infectious, we have to be careful to not let coded, once again masked a lot of the social issues that are going on in society that have been a long time affecting people, causing doubts, housing long time, ambulance wait. there are lots of issues that are underlying this, that we just like coded overtake few where the government, instead of mandatory a coven 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 giving them all the information that they require and let them have the choice. inflation in the u. s. has accelerated to its highest level and more than 30 years. supply chain bottlenecks covered restrictions and increasing energy prices are all adding to household costs ahead of the winter. president biden has ordered that energy prices are reduced and has blamed rising prices on opec for not producing enough oil. although in the same breath he wants to shut down oil pipelines in his country. over environmental concerns with commentary on that here is our to south can tailor the holiday season is upon us. but if americans were hoping for abundance giving c store a christmas tree laden with presents no luck, a supply chain crisis is this his grin bringing mat shortages, delivery delays on record breaking inflation. inflation hurts americans pocket

books and reversing this trend is a top priority for me, the largest share of the increase in prices and this report is due to rising energy costs. so the president would be tang king ratings and angry vote at times. conveniently found the guilty party energy and it's true that prices have thought, in fact, a thought of american pact to skip a cut back on necessities like food and medicine to pay that energy bills in recent months. you'd think that wouldn't you, that it wouldn't be the best time to even talk about shopping yet, to nata pipeline, as winds to the winter months and temperatures drop across the midwest. the termination of the michigan o pipeline we lumped outwardly further exacerbate shortages and price increases in home heating fuels. that's time when americans are already facing rapidly rising. and as you prices steep home heating costs, global supply shortages and skyrocketing gas prices, tuffy latest, and

a long line of non fans of biden's energy policy. no pipelines and no drilling permits revoked, and mrs. suspended, the white house has gone green. even if that means carrying off thousands of jobs and even your citizens to shiver. but instead of taking ownership for that policy and the full out now the president, i'm his people are pointing the finger elsewhere. oil is a global market. it is controlled by a car town and they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning. never mind that america has enough supply in its own backyard to turn out some barrels and bring down those prices bite and just won't turn on the taps. but opec should buy does not to blame for cold winter opec. his biden's not responsible view, struggling to pay the bills. opec his just as well. he explained it to us all boys . it's all so quite complicated, isn't it? like the supply chain? oh, well, i'd explain it to you, but you just wouldn't understand your hear

a lot about to supply change in the news. but frankly, not a lot of people are clear. have a clear understanding whether they have a ph to here. they didn't go to school about how a supply chain works. the problem is we did not have fuel in american cables, only making too large or strong. no, he's doing very, very bad job. do you take them at kills? i didn't calling you merican people stupid boy that there is no supply crisis. there's no border crisis. i do, i take a sense of that because we see it. we live here in texas, the space. it's an insult to the american intelligence and his press secretary, according to them, there is no crisis, but if there is a crisis,

just because we ordered too much on line, would tell him to stop being political start thinking about americans and the good for america. i don't see how more in, if you could get, i think that's just a typical political i get out of a problem. the blame game a class. they can any politicians playbook and perfect for times of trouble. you know, like when your party was humiliated in the recent elections, you're racing to be crowned, be nice, popular president and history. and now people can't even afford a warm and cozy thanksgiving. and you're not even a year into presidency. that does it for me this hour and $31.00 and a half minutes. i will be back with another full and fresh look. stay with us. it's our to international. oh ah, there's an actual water around the try,

a seal island that's in contention between canada and the united states, northern gulf, maine has suddenly become optimal for lobster. our populations here is exploded. one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had me and canadian fishermen in these waters at the same time jousting for position and tensions or high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the part where there could be costs that would be significant to post countries. border dispute don't go away, they just fester. something's going to happen. just look at what's beyond the ability to repair and that's what american policy makers are playing with the justification for more money printing. because if climate change a bit were possible to fix climate change,

it would shrink the entire global economy down to the point where the bankers would stop getting balance and they can't ever stop the bodies. so that's, that's the rhetoric behind that, that's the methodology behind it. that's the psychosis with hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle. how is the economy working for you? we are told this is a time of the great reset and build back better. what does 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? i.
