4:00 pm
a matter of, if it's happens, it's a matter of went home i want to kind of until august and avoid bipolar. and as it continues to resists attempts by migrants, the storm, the border from but a roost in order to reach the you, the russian defense ministry slams. the u. s. has hypocritical law to washington, criticize moscow for testing a weapon in space when it's done exactly the same. well, nobody likes to pay more. on average, we have the money to do so. that's mainstreamed u. s. media outlets repeatedly claim that americans are better off on the joe biden, despite inflation hitting a 31 year record. citizens respond. we have to buy food and do things like different ways. i don't think you save money. i definitely feel the invasion have
4:01 pm
more so i'm food. i think a lot of people are out of work and they're spending their savings just to stay alive. and the regional government in australia is on cost to get sweeping new powers. and upon dennisville, the spot last ditch amendments and a public outcry ah, is going to midnight here in moscow. thanks for joining us. san jose international . and daniel hawkins. wherever you are, welcome to the program. a poland has fired. walter got an a t, a gas is an attempt to hold back a surge of monuments trying to make it across the board with barrows. warsaw says, expecting the situation to continue for potentially months. let's look at what's been playing out on the frontier over the past few out. ah
4:02 pm
ah, basically what the migrants are doing, they are throwing whatever rubbish they can find as well as logs at the police look over there. they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the bob. while again, you can see them using purpose grades, military grade, self. so okay, we have to move out when you back up and go back to safety. so. 9 we will keep the broadcast. we'll keep showing in. maybe we'll move behind the 1st fence that they have, that they have already dismantled and you can see people quickly to retreat from over there. now they have brought a water cannon. i think they're bringing to water. can okay, we have to move out,
4:03 pm
this is the sound and you can see more tear gas more tear gas canisters being used against the migrants here. and i, we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. it is a polish military helicopter. this has been used a as surveillance on behalf of the polish side. so you know, getting a birds eye view on the, you know, and the location of all the migrants and also it, it is used as a scare tactics. it looks like heart of offense, part of offense is almost down so. so the polish, the polish border patrol, the polish military police, they have been they have been manning that section of the fence more extensively than others. and there's also another water cannon. now helping out from over there, you can see, you know, arching an arch in a spray of tear gas from a badly check point where the board check point is and we are right now is those as we can get to the border checkpoint where the, the majority of the action is going on right now. you can see
4:04 pm
a group of most active people pelting, pelting are the pelting them with the military police, the polish military police, with rocks. now there's quite, it's, it's quite interesting where they're getting the rocks from now, because, for example, if you look over there, there's a group of my grants. they are getting the rocks and providing their compatriots and providing other riots, migrants riding migrants with ammunition. this is what they're doing, and we've just been purpose frayed. i'm afraid this is what happens when this is what happens when you will hook this close to the action. it is, it is getting in the eyes that is getting everywhere, despite videos like this. so you and spokesperson was unable to confirm where the water cannon had been used at the border. he stressed though that no force should be used against margaret's meanwhile rush has criticized poland for its violent actions. polish actions that absolutely unacceptable to tear gas water cannon shots fired over the heads of migrants towards belarus. this reflects
4:05 pm
a desire to hide their actions. they cannot understand that they are violating every conceivable norm of international humanitarian law. was 3 millionaire, but a rosselli, a walnut sanctions man who was little inclined to stop people trying to cross the border modern belt. so who represents germany's left party in hamburg, parliament says, blaming minced the crisis isn't going to solve it. first we have to say that poland calls this abusing and contradicting the international law. there's no law conventions to protect refugees, synthesis and the effect the route. you want to have a solution. you have to think about and you have to stop the aggression against the silver and the to your people in the middle east and in north africa. and if you do that and give those people the possibility to have countries which stabilize step by step, those refugees crisis now to sanction bend on the incentive rule,
4:06 pm
the blade that knock away. of course, it will be good to have negotiations in between the european union and bella was the book before to repeat. the union accepts the silver and the to your countries doesn't matter. it spells venezuela, they always counting the election results. and this is not a way we can establish international relations which are fruitful. so that has to be changed at night, draws a name better to some arguments have been relocated to shelter near the frontier. the re purpose warehouse is currently housing around a 1000 people, including women and children, ortiz. he goes on a reports from the c. so following today's failed attempt to storm the pole is gordon, dozens of migrants have expressed their desire to well go home. so all of them have now been taken here. this is normally
4:07 pm
a logistics center on the border with all sorts out to do with that kind of stuff. now it has been re purpose and re facilitated by the bell russian authorities into this temporary shelter place for the people for the most vulnerable a warehouse is located 500 meters from the border. it was decided to quickly clear some space there so that people won't have to see brush for a 2nd night. in the space of 2 hours, goods were moved to one end of the warehouse. this liberated about 40 percent of the space. additionally, medical teams are on their way to the site, they will check temperatures and move those with a high temperature to a separate area. the main goal of this place is to have women and children in the 1st place. i lived somewhere within humane conditions because right now, you know this roof that the roof over there has it's already massive improvement compared to how they had to live out there in the camps. they have,
4:08 pm
they have blankets, look at this, they have blankets, they will have home food. there are people who come here. they give out. they give out, you know, you know, food drinks and so on. they will have all the food which is especially important. i think for the 1st time i can actually see what all these people are wearing underneath their overcoats because normally they would as much clothes as they can out there in the wilderness and what will happen to them. next is essentially the veteran authorities. they will go on and establish the identities of every single person here. because right now, many of them not even have their ideas, do not have their passports on them. and so they will try and identify every single one of them figure out how the money situation is individually and whether or not they can, for example, of food to take it back home. if they do, they will be able to leave home. this is their desire, this is why these come here and if they don't,
4:09 pm
well i guess they will have to figure out something else by they. i mean the other are from the thought even see how they will be able to will to port the amendment. essentially just get back home and get back to the countries where they came from, like rock syria, malia and so on. the west accuses by tomorrow, so deliberately funneling migrants from the middle east into the area with claimants denies the u. s. i knew you were repairing new sanctions. i know another country that stealing with a new influx of migrants is iran. people have been fling there from neighboring havana stalls since the taliban took control of the country. but international aid organizations have actually cut refugee aid to, to around something the un as condemned a non profit organization. the norwegian refugee council says 45000 people have been crossing from afghanistan into iran daily since the taliban takeover in states that amounts to 300000 refugees on top of the large number of displaced people already in the country. the group recently visited margaret,
4:10 pm
come there to monitor the conditions. people are living in layla motto was among the delegation. she says are all genetic need of international aid? i was there. we spoke to several families who had been on the ground for a very long time. in iran, and they all say that every family member, they speak with back in afghanistan and cobble and elsewhere in the country. all tell them the same thing that they're on the way to the border. they're trying to find a way out there trying to get into iran because it's become absolutely hopeless to live in afghanistan in much due to the economic collapse in the country. and those families be spoke to say that, you know, they have so little already to share among so many. and they worried that unless they international community 1000 give more support to neighboring countries of, of gas than there will simply not be enough just court. everyone with their basic needs. this is in a context where iran itself has economic challenges as a result of sanctions and, and co. 19 general, there has not been adequate attention to the situation in the neighboring countries
4:11 pm
of afghan has done. it is always the neighboring countries that shoulder, that major responsibility when there's a massive reggie flown. it's remarkable that iran is able to absorb 40025000 refugees coming from of the gums on every day. and yet europe is not able to deal with the 4000 or a few 1000 refugees at the polish quarter. but it's also equally unfortunate and outrageous that the beller authorities are using refugees as in tactics to win an international geopolitical game. a war of words has broken out between russia and the us open when effective is he in all bits? this comes off to washington accused. moscow put me international space station in danger, by conducting an anti satellite weapons test. russell responded by state in the us was being hypocritical, and in washington has been formal, reckless in space. earlier, my colleague given a nail, discuss the latest developments with ortiz donald quarter. there's been a lot of speculation and there still is really as to what exactly caused this
4:12 pm
debris generating event. and unsurprisingly, washington was quick to point the finger at russia. actually, the russian defense ministry has since reacted to that pointing to new a plus plans for space operations that the u. s. military had made back in 2020. so for russia, this whole situation seems a bit hypocritical. the russian defense ministry considers hypocritical statements by representatives of the state department and the pentagon, who tried to accuse the russian federation of creating risks for astronauts of the international space station in ton, the pentagon, both before these official steps and even more so after is actively developing and testing the latest strike combat weapons of various types in orbit without any notification. don't take us through than what led to this war of words interrupting well, whatever this debris generating event was, it was enough to warrant the crew of the international space station to take safety measures against a possible collision. luckily, nothing was damaged,
4:13 pm
nobody was hurt, but the u. s. to state the u. s. state department almost immediately after accused russia of launching a direct ascent missile to destroy a satellite in orbit, which they say caused the danger on the ice. s. washington called it a dangerous and irresponsible behavior. the russian federation recklessly conducted a destructive satellite test of a direct ascent at anti satellite missile against one of its own satellites. rushes dangerous and irresponsible behavior jeopardizes the long term sustainability of our outer space and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing the weapons and weapons ation of space are disingenuous and hypocritical. nato made its own statement backing up some of the earlier accusations made by washington. but as the russian defense ministry said, the u. s. has its own types of similar tests in orbit and there's no outcry about those. and we also still don't know what exactly launched this debris into the path of the i assess so hardly a time for finger pointing america's soaring,
4:14 pm
inflation is expected to spike further on the back of a 2 trillion dollar spending plan approved by president boynton, who prices are all rising at the highest rate in 31 years, and i think people's pockets hot and not every one though a closures the is a problem. a lot of us mainstream media seems to think everything is under control . this recently deleted tweet from iris and b. c. for example, claims soaring prices are not such a bad thing about uncles prompted people to take to social media and offer their responses to that suggestion. people not being able to afford groceries is a good thing. well, i antics oliver more more on selling us more money coming out of our pocket is a good thing. no reason will ever make a reasonable person say, inflation is a good thing. amazon dessy believes inflation is a good thing that our wallison curse is disagree. m s m is he followed up with
4:15 pm
another tweet saying the liter one misrepresented the article? it was linking to the idea though and that so soaring costs are an overall good thing. and the president biden at least has gain traction in the media. caleb open asked new yorkers if they agree, whether it's mel for gasoline, the prices of every day commodities are rising. american families are being squeezed now more than ever, some voices in mainstream media. so the solution is pretty simple. stop complaining and deal with it. and the dirty little secret here, willi, while nobody likes to pay more, on average, we have the money to do so. household savings had a record high over than pandemic. we didn't really have anywhere to go out and spend according to m, as in b. c house, stephanie rule, household savings hit a record high. during the pandemic, we didn't have anywhere to go out and spend. we decided to put that theory to the test. people savers have gone up now. now, i don't think so because things are more expensive. we have to buy food and do
4:16 pm
things like different ways. i don't think you save money, especially way transportation and everything. i definitely feel ian facia and have more on food. you noticed a difference like in proteins and just in general? certainly worrying. i don't know too much, not a great financial guy, but extern says the economy is a little bit. we're an semi us. i think a lot of people are out of work. are spending their savings just to stay alive, honestly. yeah. what about all the people lost her job? a lot of those people are definitely spending their savings, myself included. what rules theory ignores, is that sense the pandemic? many americans have lost their jobs or seen a significant decrease in their incomes. the federal reserve is warning that inflation won't be stopping any time soon and that we should be expecting rising prices for at least the next few months. food banks across the country have never been busier. hit with demand from desperate americans who are hit by the double whammy of rising prices amid a supply chain crisis. i would say that in our county specifically, we've seen
4:17 pm
a dramatic increase in food insecurity. we've had to make a lot of really tough choices. and so one of the things that we're always trying to reiterates is that we're still in the midst of a disaster. meanwhile, the spectre of rising taxes hangs over many americans biden promises that he will only raise taxes on the altar wealthy. however, the tax policy center says that many middle class households could be effected. republicans say that biden's build back better plan for increasing spending will make things worse, joe biden, and comma harris and the rest of the administration. they don't care, they want you not to be able to fulfill up gas in your car. they want your electricity bill to be higher. they want your heating bill to be higher. of course it doesn't impact them. according to a recent poll, 70 percent of americans are dismayed by the current economic situation, while 50 percent blame biden for soaring inflation. not surprisingly, biden's, popularity has taken a knock. now 51 percent of voters say they favor the g o. p. giving republicans the
4:18 pm
highest lead facing the mid term in decades. biden promised to rescue the country from a crisis that he blamed on donald trump. however, over the past few months, things don't really seem to have improved with the country financially squeezed. this could mean a big turnaround when it comes to the mid terms kayla mopping, r t. new york. we'll go into a short break now join us in a few moments though full more headlines from around the world. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
4:19 pm
a ah with a when i was showing the wrong one, i just don't know. i mean you have to fill out disdain because the kid and engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh,
4:20 pm
welcome back. authorities, any australia inside of victoria are expected to gain sweeping new powers under a fiercely congested pandemic bill. despite last minute changes and public fury. i o. monday nights, thousands of protesters camped outside the stake. bonner was in melbourne, venting their anger over the draft legislation in response to the government. motor it down essentially in the bid to get the bill through the upper house. the key concessions are that fines for cobra. all breakers have been lowered, the threshold for declaring pandemic has been raised, and the right to protest is protected. well, that all follows weeks of public unrest. now the victoria premier has defended the bill saying it's about keeping people safe and that it includes safeguards to prevent abuse of power. in walla top health official in another australian state. queensland has issued a warning to people who refused co with shot and said vaccine has it at citizens could effectively be banished from society. rise not to get vaccine lawful the
4:21 pm
miserable without being vaccinated. it's got to be very hard to maintain your employment if you're not vaccinated or you won't be able to go any way. free entertainment. australia has an 83 percent co vaccination rates, while queensland is also high, it's 70 percent. the spot reaching international heard immunity targets, australia seeking to ratchet up the pressure on the, on the vaccinated. we spoke earlier to professor of epistemology, catherine bennett, who's in the victoria state capital of melbourne. if the new bill there is the right response to the disease, part of the reason they argue that i'm having a pandemic bill was going to be important was that it would allow some of the decision making processes to become more transparent actually. but there was concern that when it came back that it didn't actually have some of the oversight automatically written in that would ensure that this was going to happen in that way. so it's really important. the changes were saying in the last 24 hours, i think a key changes to help achieve what they plan to achieve that without risking giving
4:22 pm
so much authority to someone who, who also is the person who calls whether or not they need to consult with people and what we're saying is they're trying to make the point that you need to get vaccinated, said just drawing a very hard line and trying to encourage people to vaccinate. but i think this, there is the epidemiological argument to support keeping unvaccinated paper locked out for the long term. it just doesn't make sense because the risk differential is, is, is very small. if you have such a small proportion of the adult population who are unvaccinated, the pentagon is at war with oklahoma national guard over compulsory vaccines. so threatening disciplinary action of cosmo skipped bad jobs, and their commander openly flouted the order. it is a lawful order for national guardsmen to receive the cove it vaccine. it is a lawful order refusing to do that. absent of an approved exemption puts them in
4:23 pm
the same potential as active duty members who refused the vaccine. in mid september, us defense secretary lloyd, offset, and out thought uniform personnel would have to get vaccinated with a new point to, to come on the line with the national guard study to an a blind eye. it's noncompliance among his troops. i hear by order that no oklahoma guardsmen be required to take the code 1900 vaccine notwithstanding any other federal requirements. additionally, no negative administration or legal action will be taken against guardsmen who refused vaccine or join now alive. fi flight cohen was a 20 to 20 vice presidential candidate for the u. s. libertarian party. so thanks for joining us. good on today. this isn't the 1st refusal by social work is effectively rebuttal, engage mallory jobs. we've seen it happen in other places. now, oklahoma, the national guard could be spread to other states among uniform personnel, among other sexual workers. it's likely to spread to other states,
4:24 pm
especially now with the us, with the federal cords holding up. one of the vaccine mandates and many state governments already suing the by the ministration and osha against that. this is a little different because it's for federally employed national guardsmen, but i think we're seeing an increase in mounting resistance across the board. do you expect many of national guards to walk out if the plans are gonna double down on the job order? i do, and we're already seeing that anecdotally and when data. and the interesting thing about this is that we were told that the reason for the need for this vaccine mandate for the military was for true readiness. cobra has a point 02 percent fatality rate among active duty and national reserve among the troops. and the reality is it's probably much lower than that because there are plenty of troops who get it and never, even though they had cove it and never got tested. so it's even one percent walk
4:25 pm
out or retire early as a result of this mandate, then you're likely to see anywhere from $50.00 to $100.00 times more of an impact on true readiness them from the virus itself. and that assumes that the vaccine wouldn't that anyone exact needed wouldn't dive cove, it, which does happen, and that there weren't any adverse reactions to the vaccine, which of course happens as well. this is just bad policy. if there is a more out of the national guard, how would that affect security on, on national level? say there was a situation like the one we saw on capitol hill the the ra, for example. how would that be dealt with on a, on a water level? i suppose, if that spreads to emergency personnel personnel, uniform, how would that impact services on a federal level? well, that's the question, right? we're seeing in some police departments as many as 40 percent of police and other 1st responder are refusing to take the vaccine. i suspect the numbers are lower among the troops, but it's probably not that much lower. and these are the kinds of things that the, by the ministration needs to think about when they're deciding to try to shove
4:26 pm
these vaccines down the throat to people who don't want them. and these are the people when you're talking about 1st responders, people in the military, the people that are in the labor pool, these are the people that are the least likely to die of cove. it. so there's not really a good argument, even from a, you know, saving lives standpoint. there's no good argument for this. it isn't a good idea anyway, because it's imposing on everyone's lives and right. but it certainly, it isn't even doing anything to actually stop or slow the spread over it or, or even prevent that many death. i don't if you so that the report that was on just before our interview, the protest in australia count happening because the vaccine mind upstairs but not only in the u. s. across the world, it's really exacerbating divisions into saw between states and institutions. individuals where do you see this leading in the coming months as we lead up to the winter season? it's not just exposing division, it's exposing a truth that governments don't want you to know which is that their power isn't
4:27 pm
real. all that there really is is what the people are willing to tolerate. and if even a small percentage refused to comply with something, the ability for government to be able to effectively enforce whatever that thing is . basically goes away, leading to more people saying, well if they don't have to do it, then i'm not going to do it either. and that leads to government having to see trying to enforce that in order to not betray the fact that they don't have any real power. so i hope that we see math non compliance for all of these cobra regime orders. and that leads to governments having to back off of this and realize this was never a good idea. it's not saving lives, it's ruining people's lives in livelihood cove. it isn't going away and we need to rethink how we're going to live the rest of our lives. yes, but you raise the key question that which is rethinking how we're going to deal with us. because obviously, i think the evidence is bad. vaccines are helping to save lives. otherwise, you know that be a massive rise in, in death, alongside the rise in cases obviously. but fractions of course are not made monitor even if most people do take them. how will the us and other countries are russia?
4:28 pm
the u. k. australia beat the pandemic. when death on the rise in some countries this isn't a panoramic covered waves are not going away. this is going to be as permanent as cold and flu season until they have a way to completely cure us of respiratory illness. this is not going away. and so we need to ask, are we going to for the rest of our lives, mandate that people who are the least likely to die from cove, it in order to be able to go outside in order to be able to live their lives in order to be able to work that they have to get booster shots for the rest of their lives, even though they can still get and spread cove it on the off chance that it might also save their life. even though that the most likely to survive cove it or not even know that they had covered in the 1st place. and i think as more and more people realize cove it is not a panoramic. it is endemic. it's not going away. more, more people are, are waking up to realizing they don't want to live like this forever. this is not a temporary thing. it's not going away and we don't want to live like this. what is
4:29 pm
the answer to these waves and your eyes, if this is something republicans have to live with, i mean presumably are against mosque mandates and things like that as well. in fact, tunes perhaps not be all to say before. governance is that they are saving lives and keeping people safe with you all against all man, it's from social distance into mosques. i mean, how do we get out of these these way? but as you call them, i don't know that there is a way to get out of them and we know that the locked down didn't work. we know that the mandates aren't working to stop the spread of cove. it. we know that the vaccines are effective in stopping those who are the least the most likely to die from dying of cove. it, and it is likely that those are also the people who are the most likely to want to get vaccinated. but that's a different question. as to people my age and your age, who are almost guaranteed to survive, or have a very mild case of cobit telling them that they have to live their lives this way . i think that when you look at the devastation that has been caused, not just to live and livelihoods to the supply chain,
4:30 pm
to the labor pool with the government, trying to play red light, green light with society around the world. i think we have to really weigh the public health measures related to cove it to literally everything else in our society. and i think once you do that, you realize that there's an aspect of this that isn't going away, no matter what is done and that these things aren't helping. and that this, this impulse disable government has to do something if that thing isn't helping. and if all it's doing is causing other in silvery damage as a result of it, then we need to be looking at what actually does help. and more often than not, that's increasing the access to health care by deregulation and getting rid of the regulations that are making access to health care so hard. and then looking at the fact that there are just going disease kills people and that's not going to stop as a result of government action. yes, certainly raises a lot of questions about where the next year is going, as well as we in for a 3rd way of this of this global challenge. spot,
4:31 pm
carbon 2020 vice presidential candidates. libertarian policy. thanks so much for your.
