and sees that they see the importance of having the fact. however, i think it just go into different level when it compulsory i expect the care was to be immunized. so we have to be careful to not let co bid once again map a lot of the social issues that are going on ah, life for moscow. thanks for holding us in order to international daniel gotten through of you. all right, welcome to the program. and we start with breaking news here in russia. there's been a huge explosion in the central russian city of luther singapore. that it was caused by a gas leak or a metal work plant. the explosion caused the roof to collapse. the thought covers some 2000 square meters. one work was reportedly injured and rushed at the hospital after being dragged from the rebel. 5 officers are still working at the seat and

will keep you updated as the information comes in. 3 men have been arrested under the u. k. terrorism acts in connection with a car explosion in liverpool last killed one person. i injured another, according to police vehicle involved was a taxi, was parked by liverpool, was, was ruined hospital public spin off to avoid the area. it's currently unclear what happened exactly, but the guy is counter terror, but he is involved in the probe of the modern crisis on europe cease in frontier is escalating. the polar soldiers died after his weapon accidentally discharged during attend. stand off on the ball with barrows, thousands of people mostly from the middle east there attempting to illegally enter the european union. soon, weak, they clashed with polish forces to gas, was deployed and gunshots. heard of crowds try to break through the waterfront. the

poland is now threatened to shut down rail, travel with barrows, which is not in the under the pressure from brussels, turkey and iraq are also trying to stop the margaret flow into means by biting direct like a syrian give any and iraqi nationals recall how the crisis started ah, [000:00:00;00] with will not keep any migrants here. they did not come to us. they are head into enlightened warm and cozy. you. it was them who destroyed lease

with with mala mala,

with a call and go back to your home leave with for despite aid provided by the rushing humanitarian groups, the situation is still dia. modern. so enduring freezing temperatures. lack of basic supplies or to use turn something roscoe, travel to the border camp. one of the 3rd thing that he noticed when he entered the camp is just the smoke thick smoke from the campfires. and when you spend just a couple of hours in this thick smoke, you feel dizzy in your ice or but these people have to take it in 247

non stop. they be she, she's shaking from phrasing. look at this with water. trash bag bag. yeah. where it's for call in or go under this the to stay warm. these migrants need lots of firewood, but even cut the trees to live is a problem. if you don't have the skills or proper tools. having something as simple as an ax almost becomes the matter of survival here. where did you get the x? this call us the for the soldiers gave you just gave you just gave you for help go for help. and it's all hands on deck approach. even children are being sent out into the forest to collect dry sticks and branches for bonfires. wow, good job. but wandering around in the woods can be dangerous. these girls just come

back from the forest with blood all over her face. evidently, this girl, sadly, with a branch, now she's bleeding and she needs help. but the problem is that there are no metrics around, there are no doctors around and really nobody knows how to deal with this. proper medical help is in high demand, as people suffer from the cold and lack of food. in the morning we came across a boy who was barely responding and a worried mother thought her son was not going to make it. later the day was stopped by again to check on the family. the boy had improved but still feeling sick. according to his friend who speaks english, yet everybody is determined to come to stay. but you guys, you have no food. it's really cold and you still think it's okay. it is worth it to get his house here instead of stayed at home at sources. why? sources have you ever been to her right now? no,

i was asked why you do now about there. but it's hard to stay resilient when your stomachs empty this my food water aunt birth. just bread and water that yes. all yes, yes. yes. is all about those empty and they got family, they got kids, you know, they need water, which doesn't matter. we pay money for whichever you my right was any one to bring us some law to please in out that the kids will be suffered too much lacking proper food. this man takes vitamin. see, he says it helps him to keep some energy by and make up for his poor. died we of can food. and so we have 3 cans of to some or 3 year men. and i, that's one can, is day one can for 3 men. so we, it's the one count for 3 minutes and it's a little bit breath with the free food handed out by bow russian volunteers. and the red cross is life saving. but despite all the problems these migrants act is

if they're here to state, some of them have died, hits shelter out of the window at night. others dismantled parts of the metal fence right in front of the polish armed forces, wire and iron pillars from the border wall are now used to make bigger and more solid shelters. to what started as a camp now might very well develop into a small village. and the population of that village is growing by the day as new migrants arrived. now, there are around $3000.00 of them at the border with poland. where did you, friday from ministers. they sent them for a small camp from comes na 95000000 without a gun man. we just on i for a lot to be don't friend to connect to support or friends. i don't know they megan a thank. they'll stay with us. all of us. we're stay together till end. i know until what end will i waiting for you?

i'm just waiting for. it's in one message for angela medical. because and yet i'm a good lead beslee that that will out of young. these these people need help. how can i go, you know, lease, lease hell off the way that a very cool i won a lead that is of jet of money and you lead that of germany, head boa on thank you very much. hearing stories from their friends and relatives. he made it to europe. these people believe that countries like germany, france, would love to welcome them and give them money and support. and with this in mind, they were ready to stay and struggle at the polish border of the surge of middle east and migrants trying to enter. poland spoke to war of woods this week between brussels in minsk with government. european governments rather threatening to impose greater sanctions on both voluminous hugs, imposed sanctions against me against fellow russian that you, when you went for a hybrid war against valerie,

look at the media economics and pull it away. and now let it get hold of security. it's a hybrid warner and you want me to protect you from migratory among other folks at the australian. we are facing a brutal hybrid attach on our you bold us, been irish. he switched an agent matrons distress in a cynical and shook into a or some western powers. this week's rags, russia into the migrant dispute saying is masterminding the situation on the borrower. is colin border? moscow denies that saying the west only has itself to blame for the crisis while emphasizing the role. those countries have had in middle ethan conflicts. the accusations being made against russia regarding the situation on the poland balise border or on the conscience of those making them. it's a desire to shift blame to others in europe, they themselves created the conditions for hundreds of thousands of people to go

there. and now they're looking for culprits to absolve themselves. responsibility, take care of your internal problems. don't shift your issues on to others or to his eagles than of now has more on the west and response to the crisis on poland border . and why exactly rush has been caught up in the dispute. the refugee crisis has now been tormenting the e. u for over half a decade. and finally, the evil engineer behind it has been unmasked and its well dar, russia. russia has its own far reaching goals. undoubtedly this is the stabilization of the situation in the u. an attempt to permanently destabilized central and eastern europe. undoubtedly, these are russia strategic goals. it wants to have an instrument of influence and blackmail over europe on the free world, acting with someone else's hands. officials in warsaw stop. just short of elaborating exactly what role moscow is playing in the calamity on the poland and

bella ros border states that are, you know, both not russia. they also choose to amid historical details of how polaroid helped turn iraq from which many of the migrants are fleeing now into the mess. it now is now polish politicians. here kids look a shank and means of making problems for iraqi migrants should recall how iraq was destroyed with the most active participation of marcel. yet some of the thousands of migrants on the border may very well remember the sounds of polish boots marching past their homes. a memory hardly nostalgic for those who are now freezing on the board in makeshift tents and scraping for food, but also is steering the conversation in a different direction. sanctions. we will stand for the strengthening of sanctions and the next european council meeting. we will propose not only strengthening sanctions in the current situation that is expanded, the number of people who do not have the right to enter the u. and we will also propose far reaching economic sanctions. well, this is

a statement somewhat expected from poland. it's a nation, consistently deaf to migrants please. this time though, it's message is being echoed much louder by both the us and the european commission . as long as the regime and belarus refuses to spect, international obligations and commitments undermines the peace and security of europe and continues to repress and abuse. people seeking nothing more than to live in freedom. we will continue to pressure lucas jenko and will not lessen our calls for accountability. beller is messed up, put in people's lives at risk. i call for approval of extended sanctions, possible sanctions, and 3rd country airlines involved. we also want to prevent the humanitarian crisis and ensure safe returns. it's a message which is in stark contrast to previous statements, even those by the same person to those who cannot go back or stay home,

we have to offer alternatives. this means 1st that we must offer legal and safe roads globally organized by us to those who need our protection. the commission stands ready to look into the necessary budget means to support you. members, states who will step up and help her settle. refugees, europe and greece, a work in hand in hand for the people on the greek islands. we signed an agreement today for a new sense unless it was by september 2021. we will bring decent conditions to migrants in refugees and support local communities. when my growing storm, the borders of the a you through greece, italy, spain, turkey. it's so good and every member state has to chin and to help out proportionately. but when they choose an ally of russia for well the same purposes, then unleash the sanctions. the use policy is double standard because if we ask ourselves the question, where do the roots lie of miss latest crisis?

the answer is wars and sanctions. and arms explored that the you always present themselves itself is a liberal union that respects human rights. but what we observe now has already happened and the you external borders where people need it, help food supplies, water and medical assistance. but people and, and their dignity came 2nd and the rule of the problem is definitely not bell rings . this issue began when european union and the united states and nato supported wars in syria, iraq, a wonderful many other countries. when just over a year ago, poland took a hard line anti migrant stance. it seemed there was no mending of this ideological chasm between warsaw and brussels. well turns out nothings easier when you find a common enemy. paolo bodine, a professor of early modern european history in summer university, says,

europe should be more concerned by the growing humanitarian crisis at his door than with playing blank games. i don't think that the washer is playing a major role in these. and frankly, i really tired of views from lots to id on these plots the all of you, which is always blaming. and mr. approving. mr. frank, trying to plot against you in a way or another you will be and you should be more towards those my supposed to be thought of a major you my power and cries. so i don't see why my best needs. i worldwide poor people lying in the middle of it. and it is well, i think because i'm not really maybe putting blame shankar or anything else. i think we have a crisis that we sort of described as

a broker says class to felicia netherlands, off the prime minister declared a new round of cobra, lockdown me as the arrest for made one fireworks off and studying strode officers. he responded with kind of government decision comes in new coven cases. joe, with a little time high earlier this week, despite the country having a 72 percent vaccination rate. and the round of measures include curfews in public places and early clothing for non essential businesses. blustery is about him to use even tougher restrictions after surgeon code numbers. johnson has just approve the new nation wide lockdown, which will only apply to be another expedited. an exam to schellenberg explains the controversial move. 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. soft new rooms were initially planned for just 2 regions. for now, they expanded the country. that means people who haven't received covered shot more than a 3rd of the population will only be allowed to leave their homes for essential reasons, like buying groceries, seeing a doctor or going to work. that was part of a worldwide pattern in singapore, co patients who decline and job will have to pay their own medical bills, readings in germany or restaurants, bars and clubs to serve only those who are not connected or have received have recovered from cope. and rather in greece, visitors, restaurants, state services, and banks must present vaccination certificates or negative test results. here russian st. petersburg symposium, monetary vaccination for senior working citizens. a colleague, rory column bray, rather discuss the policies with a panel of guess just still that the whole force compulsory takes is to another level. it just takes away the choice. and i think that steep worrying the

con 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 say, circulate in society. we want to get the numbers off, because if you get the numbers up, a number of positive benefits accrues 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, 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. you know, there's lots of people coming in to the hospitals and i think it's quite unfair to just talk in those and those health care work cuz you know and force it in. i think

to love it when not me. and i went to and see vaccine, you know, we can see the importance of having to vaccine. however, i think it just going to different level when is compulsory. 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 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 you a care 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 needs on the day when 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 doubts, housing, long time ambulance weights. there are lots of issues that are underlying this. are we it just like home it overtake fewer the government instead of mandatory a cove at vaccinations? what would you do to convince people to get a job is not so much about convincing people being 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. in the u. k. the recalls to boycott or the countries biggest supermarkets for allegedly politicizing christmas

with esco's seasonal advocacy to santa claus using a vaccine passport to deliver his present. santa could be quarantined. 2020 next. ah. roughly 2 thirds of bricks or double champs, the hillside could prove. assure the public there won't be a repeat of last year's festive lockdown, but also assisted jobs will keep loved ones safe with alsco ad though, has it split opinion online? this is absolutely sick job passports and parents are not jokes. leave it out of christmas place. the sat for a token, a wins it for me, a reflection on our lives and how this christmas will hopefully the very different from the last one. would have been a good christmas adverse, but you had to ruin it with father christmas show in the cove. it bess clearly desk support segregation and thought that was tara newsom,

ross cross live now that on the to speak to. andre woke up political commentator an eeoc observer columnist andre. thanks for coming on. good tag in the program with us today. and what do you make of this at 1st of all, why do you think it's set cool such as the well, i think part of the problem is that people wants christmas to pay. i time for pleasantries and joy and fun and family. and actually i think a lot of people will say to themselves that those people that are very draconian on wanting to have mandatory vaccinations. very draconian, old ones in south coping. passport. i'm very draconian. a woodson truck lockdown is just fat. any reason whatsoever? i'll come to love this outfit and that the people that ruined christmas last year melo, i'm not claiming that there's anything wrong whatsoever. it intent attempting to encourage people to get a vaccine. i think it was right that was offered to everybody in the united kingdom . i didn't personally get around to take it, but then again, i haven't been to adults as it's all in 20 years. i've but, but i think at the same time,

people don't want to feel bullied. and when you look at what's going on in austria, which you just repulsed on a 2nd ago, and indeed in st. petersburg, right across the globe. this idea of people being forced into things is really, really unacceptable. i'll tell you why. i'm not comparing the people who love these corona virus locked out to what happened in germany, in the 193019 forties, but there is no doubt that the regulations on the prohibition of non did she, medical treatments came out of the disgusting white people were treated in europe occupied your i'm due date in parts of russia. and so we need to remember that we need to remember the civil liberties. really important thing. i think people should be given their choice and all of these things. and i really think that go woke, go broke concept, which is where you wrote, woke television advert. actually, people are puts off by it is, is probably a for an accurate reflection of the truth. and speaking of a so called television adverts, you may remember,

i think it was last to another you case, supermarket was sir, mar, to control his. he because they had a little black costs in its adver, are not course quite as thorough as well, didn't it? so did you think i see something that, that, that kind of really frustrates me because sometimes we get called, you know, anti faxes or racists or whatever it is. but i do think that in a country like britain, if you say that you want people to be able to identify with those on the television, when you have not one single white person on the television, either you start to think it's gone too far. the other way in terms of diversity, and i think equally, it's gone too far in terms of the whole vaccine and lockdown thing. so let's be clear. everybody knows that door locked downs work. no disease can possibly spread . if nobody ever leaves the house, but that doesn't get you anywhere, it's like these road traffic. people say the slow you drive, the less likely you are to crash. well, that's true. if you drive it 0 miles, now you won't crash at all. we do need to get to work,

the economy needs to reopen and we need to accept that the idea of dragging people kicking and screaming literally or figuratively down to the doctors to receive a vaccine. it's not a viable thing for any sensible insane country in the world. you mentioned the anti vaccine and you know, some people are calling critic, solve this, a tesco advert and labeling and them as anti vaccines. but as you say, it's not really that simple as the biggest pay possibly, you know, vaccine passports lockdown says he said the last thing people want to be thinking about at christmas after 2 years of this going on. and do you think the sad where it really is going to serve, you know, rather than encouraging people in a fun, you know, comical, santa way to go and get their job actually really annoy people and make the society more polarized. oh hey, look, you got to be extremely careful about this. you know, that was the, there was a murder of sarah everett which took place in london were off duty. police officers stopped. so ref, route, walking the streets. now the part of the story that people did not report was that sarah everett had indeed committed a criminal offense. she had gone to visit

a friend and was walking back from that friend's house. now you ask yourself, how ludicrous is it that we are in a situation where going visiting a friend has become a criminal offense? though it was the time the reason she got into the car was not because the police officer was lying. he was telling the truth that she committed a crime of course, he was used not as an excuse to kidnapper, but that is the level that we're getting to now. this idea of civil liberties being abolished. i'll give you another great example. my mother died on the 20th of december. last year. we had to force the nurses in the hospital to commit the criminal offense once again of allowing her relatives to see her before she died. now you think to yourself, we are talking about your society now. will you have to bribe nurses to be allowed to see your dying mother on her deathbed? that is been the way things have happened in britain and writes cross. well, i'm not going to be just critical of the united kingdom,

and i think now people want to call an end to it. and i think it's part of it is having a christmas free of days through our waves. and indeed by be being able to see each other, i think if there's a locked out, by the way, christmas this yet, it will be roundly ignored. that's probably why they won't do it. yeah, indeed. how we probably both most times of good old, the common sense and balance logical thing. thing andre, thanks for coming on. andrea woke up political commentator, new york observer columnist. good to have you on the program. ok. not next. the find out just how to protect herself against saba from an hacking in the night. a thought he documentary that he, when i will be back in half an hour, little latest join us again. ah

ah ah . mm hm. robin by dreamer shaped bankers are those with
