ah ah, the u. k confirms it's deployed troops to poland border with bell roost for potential assistance to warsaw to strengthen the frontier that has thousands of migrants remain camp out in dire condition. they're hoping to enter the ear, live the build up of asylum seekers on the billers, poland border. archy 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 and germany put, they put them down an asylum center. and after a while they get permit because they florida id cards. so the company defaulted, as german authorities don't know where they come from. and rising covered cases in austria, the nationwide restrictions re imposed but only for the unvaccinated. and it is by
9:01 pm
far not the only country to target those who refuse the jap, we discussed the ramifications window and t vaccine. you know, we can see the importance of having the vaccines. however, i think in just going to a different level, when is compulsory express care workers could be immunized or we have to be careful to not let co bid once again mass a lot of the social issues that are going on ah, protecting live direct from a studio to moscow, this is our to international. i'm john thomas would be glad to have you with us. right now, britain has confirmed it has sent a group of soldiers to the poland, belarus border and deal with warsaw. the move occurs amid an escalating stand off over migrants that has already reached the level of the un security council. belarus, who's accusing poland and lithuania of using the crisis to get extra funding from
9:02 pm
brussels. but several western members of the un security council, se belarus is actually trying to destabilize neighboring countries. that's an allegation that found little traction with russia. we, the current european union members of the security council condemn the august creative instrument elevation of human beings. there is a game of shifting glee and now by your union, remember about the reasons why these people are really fleeing their countries, which countries destroyed their countries international organizations need to be provided with immediate unhindered access to people there in this no problem for journalists for jose for go to the places where the migraines placed on the country . there is no access for jose for journalists, fall in tears 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 camp,
9:03 pm
posted by the bell or russian fate. border committee. thousands of asylum seekers are in the area as they maintain hopes of gaining entry into the poland introduced a state of emergency on its eastern frontier, with bellows in september. that effectively band journalists and, and jose from entering the area, the hindering efforts to report on the crisis and provide aid instead, 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 correspondent, shabby edwards dusty. clearly britain and poland a very close allies. i have a long history of friendship. and so for to now extending this involvement into what's being seen as a humanitarian crisis is an act of solidarity and support from westminster. of course, part of has been extremely vocal about what it sees as the weapon noise ation of
9:04 pm
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 minister 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 the reconnaissance mission with their polish counterparts on the board. and now that basically means ascertaining a certain 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
9:05 pm
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. there will be interesting to see how the international community of react to it. and crucially, whether they see it as an escalation, former british euro m, 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 board offense. i suspect, an offering engineering support, but equally, i think it will send out a message to britain. i believe on how to talk in this by because when many of these my kids have been interviewed, they said that britain 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 better russian bulk of gun. if these my going to and i want to polish pollution, that many of them are going to make their way to britain. they will no doubt use
9:06 pm
the channel these as well. so britain does have a dock and despite the people who is suffering at the moment of those migrants and there needs to be people getting down the table and solving this issue before when to really kicks in. and the policies will start piling. the movement of people we are currently seeing at the beller is pulling 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 right now. they popular migrant root starts from pakistan and afghanistan. they then had through eastern europe before reaching italy and germany. in fact, the u. n says that 75000 migrants have traveled through bosnia and herzegovina since 2018 or chief me or if an ocean i spoke to a people smuggler who is offering to take migrants into northern germany. roberson. although i think these people illegally cross the border because that governments did not allow them to went to europe using legal methods. they tried to
9:07 pm
flee and get as quickly as possible to european countries like germany, switzerland. some of them are 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 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. 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 reported 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 were wild
9:08 pm
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 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 of 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 expel 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 tuk around 80 people across the border and but the price is between 30500. you were as the person we felt he didn't tell us the truth,
9:09 pm
but i just couldn't understand why would he lie? but 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 kick is in and the clergy in a region where other people then transported the mom. that path was for serbia and also for 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 through the poor country, so to speak, like albania,
9:10 pm
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, whose web covering quite a significant part of the world. and in all trends of 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 the, 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, it's the shortest possible way to get to be today. but there is another reason both and is 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 do refugee and how does it feel
9:11 pm
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, of talking to people still sympathize with refugees and migrant. 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 pause in the sewer managed to speak to migrant student. you who sort of going through that trying to get to western europe and heard 1st time they're experiencing motives here and legal migrant. and you want to go to europe. you have basically 2 options to go to people like max, but that's in case you have money. another option is to do it 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
9:12 pm
don't have other choice. we ask max to take us on his normal journey from a to b, how he usually takes migraines, you know, to the equation border within 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 nissan . they left the country 4 months ago, right before the talib 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 in us and why. and they told us they have the official refugee paper is given to them by the was in 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 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 the value?
9:13 pm
yeah. how many you try 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 to view you left by keystone 2 years ago and you still want to go? i don't the one, the one not going you in bosnia filming for new documentary. yeah. tell us more about that. we were filming a documentary about one turban guy living in serbian part of both now, who long time ago want 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
9:14 pm
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, 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's a little too much for you, but he, 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 post conflict countries is sometimes even more dramatic and that should be address. and 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 left
9:15 pm
jobless anytime soon. and that is very sad. outside of the problems on the bellows border to russian paratroopers on joint maneuvers in the region died on friday when their parachutes became tangled. the russian defense minister says a sudden gust of wind during a jump forced the 2 to collide, leaving their parachutes unable to function correctly. one of the men activated his reserve shoot but 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 coven situation has taken a bleak turn. as infection rates continued to break, the national records that says the country reports its highest daily number of new co, rona virus cases. since the pandemic began, hospitals are increasingly under pressure and authorities are calling for urgent action as our teeth. peter oliver reports not from berlin. grim grim figures have
9:16 pm
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 states 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 creaking to its 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. 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 here exactly yet. but again, spawn has said the free coven tests will be reintroduced. now they were done away with it a little while ago. and once they were gotten rid of, we saw the numbers start to go up because it had be very easy for german to get to test. if you thought you may have any particular issues that was watered,
9:17 pm
almost every corner you go in, you get it done. it was done in around 1015 minutes. they were then taken away. you could still get tests done, but you had 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 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 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,
9:18 pm
certainly all situations that would be not advise to listen to what the, the robert cock institutes have up to say about limiting the amount of contact and limiting the possibility of catching cove. it is case numbers rise here in germany significantly less. peter mentioned austria's also suffering records daily coated 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 sally dirty for the unvaccinated. from monday there will be tough restrictions for vaccinated people in austria to hardest hit regions. that means they will only be allowed to leave their homes for a central reasons, such as to buy groceries, see a doctor or go to work. and parliament will decide on sunday, on the nationwide imposition of such measures elsewhere around the world and other
9:19 pm
movies being taken in singapore. for example, coverage 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 innoculated or have recently recovered from the disease in greece, visitors to restaurants, state services, and banks must present vaccination certificates or negative test results. while here in russia, the city of st. petersburg is imposing mandatory vaccinations for senior citizens. restrictions all around him in the netherlands though, were violent protests, follow 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 other ones log its highest daily infection rate since depend on again, countries attempt varying degrees of locked downs. my call, my colleague cohen,
9:20 pm
brady discussed with medical and social experts. the impact of the targeting non facts needed citizens will be a better way to convince people to another, to protect themselves, but also protect others. we emphasize the law on anti g and infection control measures and being sensible. no, so i am safe distance and so i just feel that the whole force compulsory takes it to another level. it just takes away the choice. and i think that's deeply worrying on county or the restriction is largely based on trying to prevent transmission or just trying to get the numbers up to make sure more people are vaccinated. as they circulate in society. 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 the hospital. and then the 3rd,
9:21 pm
a immunized person is infectious for a short period of time, 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 that. 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, 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 talk in those those health care work because you know and force it in. i think a lot of it, when we not really mean i went to and see vaccine, you know, we can see the importance of having to vaccine. however, i think you're just going to different level when is compulsory insensitive 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 working
9:22 pm
in that area, you've got to be immunized. certainly, i don't know how many my students are vaccinated or not at universities. and you can really like sharing that information. it's going to create a scenario where these passports in 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, my county, we were so, so some of the younger from u. k. care home workers about being told by politicians to get
9:23 pm
a vaccination. but that will be people who remember back to last spring, and that 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 where it may be. 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 co bid. once again, massed 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, that we just like co overtake here with 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
9:24 pm
it's more about giving people the choice and given them all the information that they require and letting them have the choice. inflation in the u. s. has accelerated to its highest level in over 30 years. supply chain bottlenecks co 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. here's our d. soft taylor. the holiday season is upon us. but if americans were hoping for at banks giving c store a christmas tree laden with presents no luck, a supply chain crisis is this his grinch bringing mat shortages, delivery delays on record breaking inflation. inflation hurts americans pocket
9:25 pm
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 has, has conveniently found the guilty party energy. and it's true that prices have thought, in fact a 3rd of americans have to skip a cut back on necessities like food 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 we enter 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 energy prices, steep home heating costs, global supply shortages and skyrocketing gas prices. tuffy latest and
9:26 pm
a long line of not in fans of biden's energy policy. no pipelines and no drilling permits revoked and leases 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 part of town, the full out now the president i'm his people are pointing a finger elsewhere. oil is a global market. it is controlled by a card 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 is biden's not responsible view, struggling to pay the bills. opec has just as well, he explained it to us. otherwise it 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. you hear
9:27 pm
a lot about the supply change in the news, but frankly, not a lot of people are clear. have a clear understanding whether they have a ph. d, 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 a lower school at all. no, he's doing very, very bad job. do you take offense at job? i've been calling you may or can people stupid or 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 and then talk 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,
9:28 pm
would tell him to stop being political to 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. why, out of a problem, the blame game a question, 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 the least popular president and history. and now people can't even afford a warm and posey thanksgiving. and you're not even a year into presidency in a major setback at the un climate conference participants that failed to agree on the final statement by friday's deadline and canceled their joint news conference among the sticking points in europe. a 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,
9:29 pm
in a group of 7 eastern european states, insist that without nuclear, 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 a new reactor, or new reactors, plural. and the french president says that his country will also build more nuclear plants to reduce dependence on energy supply from abroad. science professor john response says that he is not surprised. there is a lack of consensus within europe. are you going to get a druggie? and again, between the judge and the french speaking about and even on climate that speaking again with the, with the last. so jim box and i think the german position is candy extraordinary because they have been opening the plans and using gas and so on. to
9:30 pm
substitute for nicky, i know they're not doing everything so good. you know, i mean, now using, you know, cabin anything happens on the east coast. i'm down every hope of getting to the gym. seems to me that given the situation, if you're worried about to do, then i think nuclear should be going to the other lesson at least. now, crucial agreements being settled at the climate talks headlines about the event were dominated by some minor, but rather peculiar issues with
