america, we can't trust the police. we can't trust a government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves. in our top headlines here, one r t e u says it will use all the tools at his disposal to stop the migrant influx into poland. that's how it's polish border guards by a t, a gas and water cannon at the refugees, much to the anger of vela roots, a shop divide, and mergers over poland tactics with france slamming plans to build a massive border wall on the program. we look at the tough line being taken against people crossing from bella roses while a migrant boats freely crossing the mediterranean. and until euthanasia, activists voice, so law over a surge and assisted suicide in canada, claiming the practices being actively encouraged here on the program on our team. we put the issue up with if i,

if people individually want to choose to end their life. and if people want to choose to and live their life to the last moment that it's an individual choice, what you're actually saying is we should change a lot to allow doctors and nurses to do homicide because that's what it is. mm. it's the morning program on our team international for this wednesday, november the 17th the variable. welcome to you from all of us here. i'm rural, re sushi. i've been, bruce has a condemned to poland border crackdown, calling it quote violence against people and another countries territory. and polish border gods have fenced off the frontier, firing water cannon, and tear gas to prevent the migrants from breaching the fence. meanwhile, a top un official claims to be unaware of the crack down. despite the pitchers being broadcast all around the world. the reports today say that the polish side

used to water cannons against those migrants. how can you comment on this? so we don't have a confirmation on that. obviously if there was any such a treatment that that, that would, that would be wrong. they should not be any use of force in dealing with with these said this population, ah, the little she's not a migration gracious that we might respond with all possible tools to our disposal . might as human beings as being converted to weapons, ah polish actions that absolutely unacceptable tear gas water, cannon shots,

fight over the heads of migrants towards bella roost. this reflects a desire to hide their actions. they cannot understand that they are violating every conceivable gnome of international humanitarian law. 3 migrants have spent another freezing night on the russian side of the frontier, though now some of them have been relocated to a new shelter repurposed warehouse which holds a 1000 people, including of course women and children. and from there is where a corresponding, eager to stand off from now reports. so following today's failed attempt to stormed the polish border to take it by force will dozens of migrants have expressed willingness to leave all of that behind. to leave all these camps behind life in the wilderness behind and to go to a special center that has been set up by the villa, russian authorities, the better russian government for them, the ruling warehouse is located 500 meters from the border. it was decided to quickly clear some space so that people won't have to sleep rough 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. this what you're seeing all around me is a logistics center next to the border. it normally normal life, it, it was used before. the border checkpoint was closed due to the migrant crisis. it was used to sort out cargo goods, you know, that sort of stuff. now the bill of russian government has organized, you know, raw sleeping math here that have been provided by the are better russian side or are, you know, they have a roof over their heads. there's no wind, it is much warmer here inside. in fact, for the 1st time here, i can actually see what these people are wearing under their overcoats because previously, every single day they would put as much things as much clothes on, on them as possible, as many well, you know,

overcoats and such. so you can see this is, well, this is, it can be compared to the conditions that they had to survive. and i just, yesterday his a new batch of migrants that you can see arriving to the center. so basically, the main purpose of this place is to provide proper shelter to the most vulnerable, you know, so that the polls do not shine blinding spotlights in your, in your face as you're trying to go to sleep and so on. you know, no wind, you know, if it rains these people are now safe here. and so what will happen next to the authorities? the bell, russian authorities will go on and try to establish the identity of every single person here. because some of them don't even have their documents on them and well then they will be flown. hopefully they will be able to fly back home, back to we're back to wherever they came from. because this is their main purpose. they came forward and said, we want to go home. we don't want to cross into europe anymore. we've given up on

this idea we want to go home. and so people, they will be trying to, you know, the authorities, they will be identifying these people and, well, hopefully facilitating their return. earlier, e u foreign policy chief, joseph borrow announced a new strategic campus plan, giving the e use power. so ultimately, the, you member say to react quickly in his, his words, including being in partnership with nato, to what it deems as a threat of the west has been accusing. bella russo deliberately pushing migrants from the middle east into poland. it's a claim means continues to deny. meantime, however, both of us and you are preparing new sanctions, well, bellows earlier said sanctions, what preventing it from helping poland put a hold to migrant crossings. martin dolton, who represented germany's left party in hamburg. parliament says, blaming mint for this crisis isn't going to solve anything. first, we have to say that poland causes abusing and contradicting international law.

there's no law conventions to protect refugees and this is in the effect the route you want to have the solution. you have to think of that and you have to stop the aggression against the silver and it to your people in the middle east and in north africa and with it. and give those people the possibility to have countries with steady life step by step rules, refugees crisis. now 2 things have been sent to fooled of late that locally. of course, it will be good to have negotiations in between the european union and bella was the book before the european union except the silver and the to your countries doesn't matter. it spells venezuela, they always counting the election results. this is not a way we can establish international relations which are fruitful,

so that has to be changed. well, our france is refusing to fund a massive wall to stop migrants crossing the poland belarus border. the plant has so far received the backing of 12, e, you states, but paris has condemned the idea as inhumane. water 0 tolerance position on my rent is facing criticism from top politicians within the e u. i am in favor over europe, which protects his borders, but not a europe which bristles with barbed wire, or covers itself with wools. what is happening in several places on the borders of the union is disconcerting. the gap between the great principles proclaimed and the neglect of the hunger and coal to which human beings are exposed at the borders of the union is surprising. while the polish border is one of several, e u migration hotspots and last weekend alone, more than 600 refugees arrived on italy shores off the crossing from north africa and its author. shaw dumas can now explain their being treated very differently to

those coming via bella. worse, what a difference a route makes in the last few days, hundreds of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea flimsy fishing boats found themselves rescued and brought to you repeat in land. since the start of this year, more than $50000.00 migrants have used that sea root reach italy that's an 85 percent increase compared to the same period last year and almost 500 percent more compared to 2 years ago. by landing on europe's mediterranean coast, migrants find themselves greeted by agencies there to lend a helping hand fly just under 2000 kilometers to another e u. country. and the reception couldn't be more different around 3000 migrants, desperately trying to survive in no man's land. as winter sets in

n g o z and agencies can't even get full access. while the past to freedom is blocked by fear cast by water, cannons by barbed wire. in a bid to shore up the eastern european borders. poland is going to construct a war war that would be partly paid for by the european union. and he's designed to stop people from crossing into the block where they can then make claims for asylum . but as this wall has been given, the green light, the use top court has just issued this ruling. the court of justice finds that hungry has failed to fulfill its obligations by allowing an application for international protection to be rejected as inadmissible. on the grounds of the applicant arrived on his territory by a state in which that person was not exposed to persecution or risk of serious harm, or in which a sufficient degree of protection is guaranteed. that gentleman, laws hungry in the court ice has restricted the right of asylum seekers yet doesn't

to war well financed by the eve do exactly that. the european union is full of contradictions. so massive immigration is right. this is a good. allison brussels has been telling all the member states that they should greet all these other immigrants coming from the, from all over the world. they sent codes and they went to some political wars with hungary, with sylvania, with poland because they would refuse a quotas. and so the region union was this message, in addition to the nova, sudden in one specific country, it is okay to build a wall. and that's paul is only because we're speaking about belarus and which is an ally of russia. so this shows this, that double standards that the european union is opposing to shows that the european union couldn't care. that's about immigration and that it's using this tremendous, depending on the situation around a $115000.00 in legal border crossings. have been made this year at the

e use external borders. the majority of still coming from the main route that have been established now over many years. yet while countries like italy and hungry, which have been at the coal face of this problem for so many years now, a lot she left to deal with it on their own. poland enjoyed the immediate backing of brussels, which is rally duran with both moral political and now financial support. and while it's easy to say that this is picking one mistake against another, this is much, much more than that. this is double standards at the highest level, se sum and that level goes all the way to brussels. charlotte, even ski, ot paris. well, another country, the stealing with a new influx of migrants is that of iran. a people have been fleeing there from neighboring afghanistan since the taliban to control. but international organizations have actually cut refugee aide to,

to ron. it's something that you and has actually condemned non profit organization . the norwegian refugee council says 4 to 5000 people have been crossing from afghanistan into iran daily. since the taliban take over, it states that amounts to 300000 refugees on top of the large number of displays, people already in that country or the group recently visited migrant comes that a monitor the conditions people are living in aliya my thought who was among the delegation, she says that iran is an urgent need of international aid. i was there, we spoke to several families who have 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 the international community starts up give more support to neighboring countries of, of gauss than there will simply not be enough to support everyone with their basic needs. this is in a context where iran itself has economic challenges as a result of sanctions and, and coven 19 general. there has not been adequate attention to the situation in the neighboring countries of afghanistan. it is always the neighboring countries that shoulder, that major responsibility when there's a massive refugee flown. it's remarkable that iran is able to absorb 40025000 refugees coming from it's gone on every day. and yet, europe is not able to deal with the 4000 or a few 1000 refugees at the polish border. but it's also equally unfortunate and outrageous that the beller is, authorities are using refugees as a tactic to win an international geopolitical game. but the more still to come here

on the program is we're entering the a halfway point now. activists in canada say assisted suicide is becoming far too common place with physically healthy patients, even being encouraged to take their own lives. that's among the rest of our stories . after a very short break with join me every 1st day on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics. sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm ah ah, ah ah

ah ah, with all, ah ah ah good if you to join us for this program here on r t. so germany is considering a new covey to restrictions for the unvaccinated are the rules would apply to $14000000.00 adults mirroring a controversial system now in place in austria. but with germany preparing for

a power transition, opinions are currently split. as peter oliver now explains, alarm bells ringing in germany, the country's covert numbers. a cause for grave concerns, so much in fact, that those that are looking to form the next government in germany. well, they say more restrictions on needed either to national is a. so 1st of all, the situation wherein is dramatic and therefore consistent measures the urgently needed within the framework of the current legal situation. but also beyond that from december about we're currently discussing the rules that will apply over the winter from december onwards. when this week has seen a continuation of high coven infection numbers across germany, while the 7 day average of that is reached, never before seen levels. from monday this week, berlin saw new restrictions come into play called the to g approach, which bol, those that are vaccinated, or cannot show that they have recovered from covered from restaurants, theaters,

gyms and nightclubs, offenders as cletus. i'm a little bit critical of it. i'm actually here for my 3rd vaccine short, but i think it will deepen. the divisions in society is monday, august. i think it's a good idea. i'm vaccinated and i'd feel much safer if only other vaccinated people were allowed in doors. i did some on you to even when someone is vaccinated, they can still get infected with this virus and get sick. so i don't really know if it makes sense at all that hope isn't and, and with her taking into account the rising numbers. i think it's reasonable, but i can also understand people who are not vaccinated, but we're in the middle of a pandemic. i think everybody needs to make a sacrifice for the greater good of society in bavaria, which is one of the hardest hit areas by the 4th wave. the state leader market zada is wanting. things could get very bought. if 10 is the apocalypse, where it 9, there is a very simple way to solve the problem and that is vaccination. the basses where

germany is faltering vaccination rates have plotted it around 67 percent and protested against covert restrictions. a still vocal right. among those looking to lead the next government of germany, there is a mind that there has to be a discussion on mandatory vaccination, the people in certain professions like health care. i think it is right that we have now started to discussion about whether this should be done in italy. we're vaccine uptake is currently 10 percent higher than germany. they're seeing less cases in this 4th wave in austria, which is 5 percent lower than germany. they've just brought in the new lockdown for the vaccinated. while the austrian chancellor insists this is necessary. it still

draws push back from the public as blended again, this is our task as a federal government is to protect the people of austria and that is what we are doing. i must stress, we are not taking this step of the light heart, but unfortunately it is necessary. he's an old indian in i like it well against the current government, which is leading us into disaster plate. in essence, economic cas finicky, som, overall, i find the whole development extremely alarming. there are lines outside of this vaccination center here in berlin as the feeling is the sooner rather than later. germany will follow austria's lead and impose national restrictions on post that if not, being jobs, not combs, as politicians, and health officials are concerned that on checked this 4th wave of cove. it could be the worst yet. peter, all of a asi berlin, anti euthanasia activists in canada. her voice alarm over

a surgeon medically assisted deaths, saying the practice has become normalized. and euthanasia became legally canada and 2016. and in that year, more than a 1000 people underwent assisted suicide. that's according to health canada, the figure reached 7500 last year and according to one psychiatrist, people that are asking for the procedure even when they are physically healthy. a few days ago, a 3rd, she will patient with very treatable, mental illness asked me to and her life. her distraught parents came to the appointment with her because they were afraid that i might support her request, and that they would be helpless to do anything about it is heretic. they have to worry that by going to a psychiatrist, the daughter might be killed by the very psychiatrist, or back in 2016, the canadian government, legalized euthanasia. for adults who are terminally ill, the rules are relaxed further and 2021. now people who have diseases but could potentially live for many years can easily undergo assisted suicide. and from 2023

canadians whose suffering is caused only by mental illness will be allowed to opt for euthanasia. and we discussed this story with alex shot and bug executive director of the youth, an age of prevention coalition, and k to allot and author and charity found. so this, this statistics are quite shocking that my position a day fail. there is very, very important that if people individually want to choose and their life and if people want to choose to and live their life to the last moment. that's an individual choice to prom with your comments though, is that you're talking from a theoretical point of view than rather than a human point of view. what actually happens that on your, in canada we're euthanasia, is becoming very commonplace. people with disabilities often react by saying, hey, in the culture we live in, we feel already denigrated. we feel like our lives are last value. and now you're telling us that maybe it's better off that we be dead. and this is what you're getting. a lot of pressure on, you know,

and i get stories all the time. i get calls all the time for people who are feeling pressured for every person you feel under pressure to die because they're burden on the family of the health system and they haven't got the money and the family is going to go in the veteran. there's a person out there who wants to know who actually wants to die because they want to and i suffering. and i dad saw it from a theoretical point of view. i had locked it isn't very radical point of view because he still, i have not answered the question why, why is society allowing this type of suffering that death is preferable to care? this is, this is the essential question that comes down to this because what you're actually saying is we changed our law to allow doctors, nurses to do homicide because that's what it is. we're talking about euthanasia, which is done by lethal injection by somebody else. and they're approving it and, and they're doing it. so you're talking about actually a type of a homicide. and is it ever a good idea and the culture to allow? so when to have the right and law to kill me and we have a choice individual choice as k, what we should be dealing with is the should be strength protocols in place. so no

nurse has to explain to someone in the final phase of m and day, why they should speed up the process of that death. the pentagon is at loggerheads with the oklahoma national guard over compulsory vaccines. it's threatening, disciplinary action if god's wins skip their cobra shots. that's after that commander openly flouted the order. it is a lawful order for national guardsmen to receive the coven vaccine. it is a lawful order refusing to do that. absent of an approved exemption, puts them in the same potential as active duty members who refused the vaccine. in mid september, us defense secretary lloyd austin, announced all uniformed personnel would have to get vaccinated against covert. however, the newly appointed commander of oklahoma's national guard has said that he will turn a blind eye to noncompliance among his troops. i hear by order that no oklahoma

guardsmen be required to take the cove at 19 vaccine notwithstanding any other federal requirement. additionally, no negative administration or legal action will be taken against guardsman, who refused the vaccine. spite cohen, who was a libertarian vice presidential candidate and 2020, says the measures only widen the rift between states and the federal government. i think we're seeing the beginnings of an increasing standoff between the biden administration and state governments. whether you're talking about the governments themselves or the state national guards, or even some of the city governments. not just on this, but on quite a few things. we're seeing an increasing fighting between different levels of government, between the buyers and ministration, largely on political lines, between republicans and democrats, but also on disagreements over how to move forward. when it comes to coven, it's likely to spread to other states, especially now with the, with the federal courts. holding up,

one of the vaccine mandates and many state governments already suing the by an administration that we're seeing in some police department. 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 you know, that the, by the ministration needs to think about when they're deciding to try to shove the vaccines down the throats of people who don't want them. and that story continues online right now at auto dot com. just click on the america section or the world section as well. what thanks for joining us. so call here on the international your wednesday morning program returns at the top of the ah, when there are problems like the energy crisis. europe illegal immigration on poland border or even when the wrong political party or politician when there is

a culprit, always waiting in the wings and that's russian. scapegoating. russia is the excuse used by failing western lead me new york. it's really what america is about i, when our mayor took, he was elected because of his campaign on our city, being a tale of 2 cities, the haves and i have not. and those who have not are usually the ones who weren't being buried on hard. i the city has always wanted to forget about hold island. city is wanted to forget about the people who are buried there. just wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field that there was a place where difficult stories are hidden. the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this active burial site, where 1000000 souls are buried, where so much of new york city history is buried,

is payment of the inequality that it exists in the city for centuries, long holy moly, oh, when i was showing wrong when i just don't hold any world yet to save out. this thing becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. ah,

i think what we find is hackers are playing at the human emotions. they're trying to find the way people operate online through social media, different types of technologies, and they're using that human emotion. think about what they're trying to do today. they're trying to send emails to individuals talking about different types of activities. they need to do urgent activities, such as transferring money, or maybe even clicking on links to steal their information. users are being distracted regular. they're getting so many notifications from their social media, from their e mails, and they're not checking in and actually validating what those requests are coming from. and playing into that human emotions gives more and more hacker attack capabilities into those users. you can implement all sorts of technology controls

on the endpoints on the network. so they play to human emotions. they played to the emotions of urgency to the emotion of promising something. so excitement, they played to the emotion of less carefulness when you look at things and just clicking because you recognize of brand or an image. and they try to make users provide as much personal information as they can they try to be a lot more tailored by stealing information by researching information about you. maybe they check your pictures on facebook and they know what you like and what you don't like based on that. and then they create very targeted attacks on your profile. mm.
