11:01 am
out us. i think it's a step in the right direction. in germany, we are moving in about the same direction. ah, oh, live from an international new center in moscow. this is our t grit. the have you with us today? i'm, you know, a little more than 3000 migrants from a refugee camp in beller. rou. some. descended on the border with poland, hoping to cross into the u. warsaw has sent soldiers on water cannon to reinforce the frontier. our correspondent eager isha done. i've sent this report from the scene. so we are on the front line of the migrant crisis on the border between barrows and well poland. and you can see here up close to the very, very heavy military presence on the polish side. there's very scary looking guys,
11:02 am
military police, there's special forces this to now to water cannon that they've brought to disperse the crowd if it was too well to make any moves. and as for the crowd, an over here, you can see thousands of migrants. it is escalated as over to thousands of people who have moved from a, from their camp, which was about 800 meters away to here. this is a border control checkpoint which has been closed for quite a while because of the migrant crisis. and poland or the polish side has been using loudspeakers announcing and in different languages saying that you should go home that we will not let you in that breaking or touching the infrastructure. the board infrastructure is an offense. it's forbidden. and that anyone who tries anything like that they will be persecuted and they will face criminal charging their announcing it in different languages with her even. and outlets in russian directed at the bell, russian side. as paul, as the polls have been blaming bella rose for letting this many people into their
11:03 am
country. i even knowing that they do not want to stay in belarus and want to cross into poland into europe, where they do not want to basically. and they do not want to let the men and sell people here. they have already organized their makeshift camps. if you pass this over there, you can see people trying to keep themselves as warm as they can, although you can see hence of smiles on their faces. because they do not let their spirits down and there's plenty of children. there are more than $500.00 kids small kids. there are pregnant woman who all on the 8 i'm not 9 month. like if they do, if they don't do something, those people in year they're gonna die. as myself. i want to go to the european countries to become a doctor, and most of them lay there. some of some of them want or like as the families, they want a better feature for the kids, the camp. it stretches all the way, all the way towards, you know,
11:04 am
closer to the bell, russian side of the border. and there we have a security detail as well. there's a border guard dispatch as well as, although not nearly as heavily, you know, man as he and what these people here were hoping for. basically they were hoping that since the fences, he are not as formidable. they're about, you know, half as half as tool a compared to where the camp was. that maybe they had a chance at crossing the border, but well, the polish side, it came very well prepared again, a lot of military personnel. and there's also military vehicles over there. we've seen footage from the polish side provided by the polar side. we have, they've shown a lot of military equipment, a lot of have you machines and world war machines because they, they came prepared. they are showing no indication of, you know, of a desire to let these people in. also there was a helicopter flying over there. we could, it has been flying over there for, for quite a while. monitoring the situation. quite likely the pictures that we've seen from
11:05 am
or the from the polar side of the border that while it was shot from that helicopter. so again, the situation, is it a bit of a stale made because i've talked to a number of to a number of people who have said that, well we are here to stay and i asked them what their intentions, what their plan was. and i will like, so if i will just sit here, make a stand if i may say so. and basically, while this is what they're doing, just making a stand just showing that they do not want to go anywhere that they will stay here for as long as they want. but they don't have their tense here which they used to have in the camp. they don't have their fires and they don't have the humanitarian aid that they got from the bell, a russian side from them, from the unions and from the bell, russian red cross. so it is, it is a matter of time. the situation here has to move one way or another. i've prepared a clip i report, i should say from the cam back when it was still populated. have a listen. it's a place stuck in limbo, the migrant camp on the border of bella ross and literally
11:06 am
a few meters away already. is poland is the e u. the dream of every single person has come here, but well, the line of military police and a very impressive barbed wire fence, they sent a very unequivocal message. the situation here is an absolute stalemate. as weather keeps getting worse, the air here is wet with drizzled. even overcoats eventually end up soaked. thousands of people around us lie on bare ground as the witness slowly but surely turns it into mud robe. some people they try to prepare for the posh conditions. every one is facing here right now. they brought tense like these, which to protect them from the forces of nature. but these are some attempts. they are good enough for freezing temperatures and most here, they don't even have that. they have to live in makeshift huts like these made of pine branches or like these. yes people here are resting right now and the weather is going to get even worse. it's going to start to snow. it will be very muddy. so
11:07 am
it's unclear as to how long this will they will be able to survive out here in the cold cigarettes are the main currency here. whoever has a pack is a rich man. whoever has a cotton is in the one percent. many refused to talk to us unless bribed, but some offer hospitality for free. we say sorry to all european union, yet we want to save the kids life to go. now. we are here is there is no protection . if the rent straight down comes to us, nothing gets done. that's no, nothing to stop the rain. they said kids sleeping on the woods. he's here. it was sitting next to the via and he was feel of sleep ah, ah, well right now the main challenge, of course is to stay warm so you can see the amount of commotion. anything that can be chopped into firewood is causing people. here are borderline scuffling for it,
11:08 am
but they know that if anybody doesn't want to play by the rules, doesn't want to play fair. if any fight was to break out, the bell, russian border patrol will be very quick to intervene. our caravans of humanitarian trucks, to deliver supplies to the camp every day. in total, more than 18 tons of aid have been provided by the been a russian government. on top of that, the local branch of the red cross and unions have also been sizeable. each shipping in i don't know how long this situation will last, but no matter how long people end up staying here, even if they're only a few of them, we will provide them with the essentials for life. we set up tense, large heated tense where people can eat, especially women and children, and pregnant women. we are certain, all the women and children of the fed. additionally, we've provided grocery sets for the families and bottled water was brought in daily . we've also brought warm clothes and blankets,
11:09 am
plus personal hygiene products like nappies and powdered milk for the children. all this is making migrants life easier for sure, but it fails to solve the weather issue. yet whoever i talk to, no one considers turning around and heading back home and options. yes ma'am. badge never made that come in iraq. my husband couldn't get a job and we had no income. now we have to wait, but we don't know how long for i worry not for myself, but for my children. now if it gets too cold, we'll need to make a decision. but i'd rather die here than go back to rock. how many days we'll have to pass for people to well say we've had enough, we're going in. if to be honest, maybe one day to day 3 days at you know, i got a gun exactly time it because f denied snow. people will go to morrow handed to 20 percent. if we know we lose, you know, alive, we will go, doesn't matter lead. they jealous it out. that's the end of it. a know if we die in
11:10 am
call, oh we die. sure. again. what's that different? the still a lot of hope in the germany will agree to take these people in and that poland will provide safe passage. but as politicians big karen time is against them. i'm a gosh, donna reporting from the beller roast border. ot see. meanwhile, a correspondent, uncommon remedy from her sister channel, or t fronts have been falling by a polish court after being detained earlier in the day, there were fun guilty of entering a restricted area of the border. prior to the arrest, the reporter said, there had been a tense atmosphere with police general secretary of the federation journalist ricardo gutierrez believes the arrests were clear, breach of media freedoms, doing it. and he just, we are now witnessing a clear violation of european standards of press freedom. this is an act of censorship by the polish government. we've noticed several of the cases as well
11:11 am
journalist trying to do that job and informed the public about what is happening at the border. it's unclear what gives poland the right to sense of the son, which in fact requires the attention of the media. i encourage journalists to continue their work, come to the field and publicly denounced a censorship. it's the only weapon at our disposal to precious states that do not fulfil their obligations which protects press freedom. care to another of our big stories to day police in the u. k. help declared sundays explosion in the city of liverpool. a terrorist incident, a taxi blew up outside a hospital, killing one person believe to be the bomber, and entering another for men have so far been arrested. the you case, terrorism threat level has nar reportedly been raised to severe. meaning an attack is considered highly likely, or correspondent chevy edwards thirsty in london. as more well police investigation . a taxi exploding just yesterday on sunday morning. have now declared it
11:12 am
a terrorist incident. that soft. this taxi went up in flames outside liverpool women's hospital just yesterday in an apparent suicide bomb being detonated. now the passenger inside to allegedly detonated this bomb was declared dead at the scene. while the cap, dr. a remarkably managed to escape the call that was up in flames. managing to survive him was only being treated for injuries in hospital and now is recovering at home. now the mayor of liverpool on the prime minister, both of praises kept driver for acting in quite a heroic way for diverting. what could have been a much worse situation as the cab driver locked the passenger in the back of the tax, as he felt he was acting suspiciously. and just shortly later, of course, the call then exploded while the prime minister has held a cobra emergency meeting, not to meeting with all of the top cabinet to discuss what is now an ongoing investigation. as for the motivations of this particular incident,
11:13 am
the please say they yet to be understood. though the police say the identity of the man now dead is known, but they are unable to shed that information. now the inquiry lead the police though to go and visit 2 addresses and 4 people with then arrested in connection with this incident under section $41.00 of the terrorism act, they will be interviewed throughout the day today by counter terrorism, please. but at this point, it's not yet known whether they were known to the counter terrorism police department as to the device. they believe it was a home made device and they believe that it was made by the passenger. but the timing of all of this could be raw. the crucial indeed yesterday mocking remembrance sunday here in the united king. then the incident happened just before 11 o'clock in the morning and that is exactly the time. 1 where a minute's silence has hair and just a mile away, that was actually a remembrance sunday service. so please say they cannot make
11:14 am
a connection to this right now, but it's certainly a line of inquiry that they are perceiving. why outside the women's hospitals, not as yet unknown, but the peaceful, competent enough to now declare this a terrorist incident based on the information they do know case thing in europe, austria has become the 1st country in the world to impose a nation wide. busy locked on for those unvaccinated against cobra, that comes amid a spike of infections across europe, accompanied by wave of social on rest. the austrian chelsor, and once the drastic new measures that's good, i did. the restrictions will apply to everyone over the age of 12. the unvaccinated will only be allowed to leave their homes in exceptional circumstances, and they will no longer be allowed to visit shops that provide non basic items. 100, for example, to clothes, sports and furniture stores. cradles could shift, and the reason that austria is gone ahead and said that if you're not vaccinated or
11:15 am
can't prove that, you've recovered from covert that you are essentially on lockdown. is that 35 percent of the population out there, or thereabouts? haven't had a full vaccination dose for they are taking this very seriously. now if you are over the age of 12, if you can't prove that you've had the vaccine, all that you've recovered from covert and you're caught out in about not either going to a food shop doing some exercise in your local area or going or going back from receiving medical treatment, then the police could well stop you, you could well receive a huge fine some of the fines of being talked about as high as 30000 euros, highly unlikely. $30000.00 euro fine would be imposed, but it's, it's there as a threat. now for the next 10 days, this is going to be the case, at least it will be reviewed after that. but it's caused serious upset and insults book over the weekend. there were people angry and out on the streets to tell the government that they're not happy with this. did some people are against it,
11:16 am
and it's discrimination against the unvaccinated mitra, to control it will be hard to control. so perhaps a full lockdown is simpler than that. i think it's really important we end upon directional than that. it's been king and i am think i am against mandatory vaccination and to healthy for that. when hundreds of thousands of people are forced to be vaccinated. i don't even know how many people will, is there jobs and the out us. i think it's a step in the right direction. in germany, we are moving in about the same direction as well. here in germany, they'll be keeping an eye on how things go with that policy in austria because the silk about trying to introduce it here as well. some german states bavaria, saxony, and the city state of berlin have already introduced similar measures already. they'll be looking on thursday during a meeting of health ministers to decide if they want to try and impose this nationally at the moment. 65 percent of german saying the federal government in berlin isn't doing enough to tackle this 4th wave of coven 19. it's a similar story in the netherlands where restrictions have been put in place on
11:17 am
those who haven't been vaccinated and in level, and in the city of the hague. that resulted in violence over the weekend with clashes between police and anti lockdown demonstrators, resulting in the place ending up using water cannon. one of the reasons that governments are taking the measures that they are taking is vaccine uptake has plateaued across these countries. the problem is, is that those who haven't received the vaccine haven't come forward for the vaccine, do seem highly unlikely to do so. on their own accord. the u. s.
11:18 am
has defended as legitimate an err strike in syria in 2019 which killed scores of people. the incident was exposed by the media leading to claims that military had tried to cover it up. 80 people were killed, mostly women, and children. likely, a majority of those kids were also competence at the time of the strike. these 2 strikes were legitimate, self defense stripes. no disciplinary actions were warranted. this is of the tubman isis was on its last legs as a coherent caliphate when they were fully in their last towns that they controlled . and what happened in boggles was the united states air force command based in catalog, they had seen a group of isis, mostly women and children of ices. refugees huddled together near a river back and they were just watching them from a, from a drone. and what they saw next was a surprise even to them,
11:19 am
and that was one of at 15 fighter jet, flew by and dropped a 500 pound bomb into the sc huddle of people. there was shock initially among the offices, the mit reports, the one of the bro to in a secure chat who dropped that. another person responded, we just dropped a bomb on. 1 50 women, as the survivors stumbled out of the blast, airy after the 1st bomb and trying to make sense of what just happened. more bombs, pommel, the area until no one was left alive. allegedly, this was all ordered by a secretive task force task force, 9. the new york times identify the mass of with lives on the ground, united say troops on the ground who can circumvent the, the ordinary chain of command, and ordered the strong truck that the officers that saw all of this happened. they immediately, i flagged the incident as a potential walk, rob, and try to get it investigated. unfortunately,
11:20 am
that is where it all ended. senior rankin u. s. military officials intentionally and systematically circumvented the deliberate strike process, clearly seeking to cover up the incidence at nearly every tourney. neocons report since 2019 the in the pentagon has impeded any potential review of this of this incident. so for example, the death toll was, was downplayed, any reports were but delayed, they were watered down. they were, they were sense at this task, force it the ease, very secret of the new york times reports. and it has a lot of power on the ground. so they ordered this air strike circumventing the u. s. air force command and qatar that was in charge over the whole mission and syria ariel mission at they ordered this air strike. and then it was them who was sent to investigate the matter on the ground to see that survey the sea. and when they arrived, they reported that the mission was a success. there was no war crime and that the majority of those killed were enemy
11:21 am
fighters and only a very few civilians. now, the pentagon, as acknowledging 80 people dead, but their argument is that they were potential enemy committed. so out of, out of the 80 people 60, they say were fighters and the rest, the women and the kids. they could have been fighters because isis and known as isis. women and kids are known to pick up godson and join the fight. here. it's not the 1st time the u. s. stands accused of mistakingly killing civilians in such a way. there isn't. it isn't as there's a history of, of such incidents in recent decades. technology has reached a level where they are the result of rise and artillery struck visa, precise ashtray. and there are drones. there are aircraft cooper equipped with cameras. almost always they can see what it is that they're going to strike. and still they decide to proceed with a stroke with these strokes, as we saw recently,
11:22 am
of course, in enough canister, towards the end of august, we will there when the united states carried out its its la strewn sack of the afghan war, i killing 7 kids and 3 adults rica gothic of this. we can't go to our house because we are scared like the u. s. as a superpower, they should have observed that the children were playing around the targeted car. they say they can detect even a needle. how could they not see that children? my nephew facade was sitting in the car. they should have been watching more carefully. they are a superpower, that they promised to punish the people who carried out the attack. how many other incidents are there that we don't know about that have been kept on the rap for the we would the down by, by the pentagon or other nations that the account at this try to he in iraq and in syria in afghanistan a. but there is that has be the history of these as there has been in mosul where we were also a national, the kill 200 civilians huddling in the basement. the, the, the as shrug at a hospital conducted by the united states and of got
11:23 am
a thought on clinics in syria, in iraq. and the thing is that they keep happening. it is almost as if lessons just aren't being learned. let's get some live reaction. now, happy to say david swanson, executive director of the world beyond the war grip, joins us now. thank you for your time today. david. from a distance it looks like just another bond in syria. we can largely become numb to stories like this many of us. but i would suggest these revelations are huge. they significant. well, i think so too. i think this is the 2nd in recent weeks. stories of this kind by the new york times one about that hopefully last drone missiles strike in afghanistan in cobble and, and this one. but these are 2 out of hundreds. i would like this to become a habit at the new york times. i'd like to see them continue down this path because we have known of for years from reporting on the ground from
11:24 am
a independence social media reporting and independent investigators in these countries that this has been happening. we've known from the documents leaked in particular by a guy named daniel hale, that this was the norm, not a sort of aberration. he now been in prison as a reward for telling us this. so, you know, it is there, there is courage in the sources named an unnamed behind this story. and we need more of that courage because many, many of these stories are doubtless being covered up in part out of fear of, of going to prison for telling people what's happening in each paragraph in the story seems more and more extraordinary. one of them do accept the claim that those 60 people 3 in 4 of those killed where a quote likely come buttons. well, i'm a 100 percent convinced with the military admitting to 80 dead that those 80 dead were all human beings. ah,
11:25 am
and people will dispute the definition of civilian and obviously the u. s. military likes to lie about it and the initial reactions quoted in your story and in the new york times. oh, war that this was a shocking, a mistake that these were women and children. but why in thy heck should it be legal or moral to blow up? 80 people, if you label them non civilians, why in the heck can you scream, imminent danger or self defense in somebody else's country, thousands of miles away, self defense, and may it okay, that this is, this is absolute madness. where are the prosecutions? where are the human rights groups? where is the u. s. congress? where was the senate armed services committee that did nothing. imagine if, if china had done anything, if russia or iran had done anything, north korea had remotely done anything like this, where the u. s. media would be what we would be hearing about today. you bring up
11:26 am
my next point. do you think there will be accountability over what happened? i certainly hope so, and if we can encourage it, we certainly should of but the, the reason this story made it into the new york times was because of the courage of journalists and sources of who had run into absolute lack of accountability and resorted to this means of getting the story out and this has been the norm. should there be accountability that would be new and, and, and my eyes are not just on the failed government in washington, but the rest of the world. where are the sanctions, can you imagine thus sanctions, if this were any other country doing this, where is the united nations or at least some international pressure? yeah, absolutely. where is the sort of pressure you would be seen if this were a nation being targeted by the united states rather than being the united states. david at thank you very much for your time today. we do appreciate that david
11:27 am
swanson, executive director of world beyond were much appreciated. thank you. not wraps up. the news update for it. no done. is here at the top with all the latest developments right after another great program starting in moments. good bye. with
11:28 am
join me every thursday on the alex silent. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess what? the world politics, small business i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm ah ah i'm african returns here. we're going underground, amid tore sleeves, allegations predicted stagflation and the new cold war. you'd be forgiven for thinking politics had gone back to the 20th century. well, just in time, to remind us how little has changed. the british film institute new season
11:29 am
featuring the complete works of oscar nominated palm door and back to winning director mike lee. along with ken loach, he's one of the great chroniclers of the working class experience in britain, his films, which explore issues from gentrification to fetch. right alienation to the people who massacre resonate as much now as they did when they were made his retrospective runs until the 30th of november and he joins, we know from land. mike, welcome to going underground to the british film institute, celebrating your entire career. they say your films bring stories of ordinary working class people to screen with honesty and empathy. fair enough description, maybe missing out the playfulness. what do you think? well, i think it does, but it also is absolutely true that a lot of my films and characters are working class, but they're not all. i mean, i think for me it's all about humanity. and in fact, you'll find people of all shapes and sizes, including a middle class lower middle class,
11:30 am
and indeed upper middle class people. and even the occasional pushback in my move is because i'm not really only concerned in a narrow way to tell stories about so called working class people. i want to explore those issues of class. so, chiefly, actually in a moment, i don't know if you've seen squid game really popular on netflix, the director one gong york saying he should have negotiated a royalty deal with netflix rather than a deal which doesn't have royalties given they made 3 quarters of a 1000000000 i think people around the world knowing the amount of awards you of one for your work, let alone your actors are gonna be shocked that you ever have struggle to finance your films as i got easier now or is it more dive now? actually it's got i actually got out of a moment, i'm having a real battle trying to find any packing at all. and so.
