ah, hi, this alice top headlines here on our teeth. the e you says it will use old tools at his disposal to stop the migrant influx into poland. that's how it's polish border, god's fire tear gas and water cannon at the refugees. much to the anger of bella roost, a shop divide images over poland tactics with france slamming plans to build a massive border wall. in the program, we look at the tough line being taken against people crossing from bella roast, while migrant votes freely crossing the mediterranean. and feed euthanasia activists voicing alarm over a surgeon assisted suicide, and canada, claiming the practice is being actively encouraged on the program. we put the issue up for debate if people individually want to choose to and alive. and if people

want to choose to and live their life to the last moment, that'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. ah, the world's top headlines for this. how i live from moscow. welcome to the program on auntie international. i'm role researcher. so bella bruce has condemned to poland, bought a crackdown, calling it quote violence against people on another countries, territory. a polish border guards have fenced off the frontier, firing water cannon, and tear gas to prevent migrants from breaching defense. meanwhile, a top un official claim to be unaware of the crack down. despite the pictures 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. there should not be any use of force in dealing with with these said this population, ah village is not on my racial graces. we might respond with all possible tools to our disposal. mild as human beings has been converted to a webpage for the dealer on not only board the guards on the probes border, but the military as well. up to 20000 personnel with aircraft, and ahmed vehicles are deployed there. the e wants to protect itself from an invasion of refugees that come from countries bombed by the us. let western coalition, ah

polish actions that absolutely unacceptable tear gas water cannon shots find over the heads of migrants towards ballers. this reflects a desire to hide their actions. they cannot understand that they are violating every conceivable norm of international humanitarian law. extremely so event. all of this bella herself now relocated around a 1000 microns to a new shelter of the families with young children. spend several freezing nights out in the open, near the polish florida, and out staying in a repurposed warehouse. and it is from beth that i correspond. acres donald now report. so following today's failed attempt to stormed the polish border to take it by force. well, dozens of migrants have expressed willingness to believe. all of that behind to leave all is 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 bell,

russian government for them. the ruling of the warehouse is located 500 meters from the border. it was decided to quickly clear some space there, 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, there are 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. and that 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 i had to survive. and i just, yesterday, his a new batch of migrants that you can see arriving to the center to 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 per and 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 wanna, you know, 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 burrell, announced a new strategic campus plan, giving e u powers a while the ability to react quickly, including in partnership with nato, to what it deems a threat or the west has been accusing bella rows of deliberately pushing migrants from the middle east into poland, it's a claim meant continues to deny. in the mean time, both of us and e. you are preparing brand new sanctions. well, boiler us earlier, it's had sanctions who are preventing it from helping poland to put a stop to migrant crossings. martin dalso, who represents germany's left party and the hamburg parliament has blaming mince for the crisis isn't going to solve anything. in 1st, we have to say that poland,

of course is abusing and contradicting international law vision or convention. so to protect refugee synthesis and the acceptable, you want to have a solution. you have to think further and you have to stop the aggression against the sober and it to your people in the middle east than 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 wouldn't happen. now to sanction bella luce and to throw all the blame that's knocked away. of course, it would be good to have negotiations in between the european union and bella rules . it would be thought of the european union accepts the silver and the of countries doesn't matter if it's fellows serve in is so a law they always doubting the election results. this is not

a way we can establish international relations which are true. so that has to be changed or france is refusing to fund a massive wall to stop migrants crossing the poland belarus border. the plan has so far received the backing of 12, e, you states. but paris has condemned the idea as inhumane. and warsaw is at 0 tolerance position on migrants is facing criticism now from 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. the polish water is, are one of several e, g migration hotspots last week and alone, more than 600 refugees arrived on italy shores off the crossing from north africa.

and as i see that charlotte do buskie now explains they're being treated very differently to those coming via bell overs. what is a furnace a root makes? in the last few days, hundreds of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea flimsy fishing boats found themselves rescued and brought to you repeat 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, a war that would be partly paid for by the european union, and is 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 courts 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 judgment laws hungry in the court ice has restricted the right of asylum seekers yet doesn't to war financed by the eve. do exactly that if the european union is full of contradictions. so massive immigration is right. this is that the good allison brussels has been telling all the member states that they should greet all these are these immigrants coming from the, from all over the world. they set quotation and they went to some political wars with hungary, with serena with poland because they would refuse a quotas as so the region union wants this message. in addition to the nova, sudden in one specific country, it is okay to build a wall and that's polish only because we're speaking about belarus and which is an ally of russia. so this shows this bit that double standards that the european union is imposing. this shows that the european union couldn't care, that's about immigration, that it's using this from induced, 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 member state 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 that's also dealing with a new influx of migrants is that of iran. people have been fleeing that from neighboring afghanistan ever since the taliban took control. but international

organizations have actually cut refugee a to to rod. it's something un has come out and condemned. a nonprofit organization . norwegian refugee council says 4 to 5000 people have been crossing from afghanistan into iran daily since the taliban take over. their states thought about to 300000 refugees on top of the large number of displaced people that were already in the country. the group recently visited various migrant comes there to monitor the conditions that people are living in. and elias motto was among the delegation . she says iran is an urgent need of international h. l. 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 in 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 worry that unless the international community that sucks give more support to neighboring countries of, of gas than there will simply not be enough just to support everyone with their basic needs. this is in a context where iran itself has economic challenges as a result of sanctions 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 and shoulders. the major responsibility when there's a massive refugee flown, it's remarkable that iran is able to absorb 40025000 refugees coming from of the gums than 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 is, authorities are using refugees as

a tactic to win an international geopolitical game. right, so i had few in the program here, one or 2 years. we're heading into the 2nd half of the program activists in canada, say assisted suicide is becoming far too commonplace with physically healthy patients, even being encouraged to take their own lives. that's among our other stories we are back in just a moment. when alex showed seemed wrong, i just don't know. i mean you world yes to shape out disdain becomes the african and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground.

oh, driven by dream shapes banks concur. some of those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh ah ah, you went to dory throw in our t. germany is considering a new cope restrictions for the unvaccinated, and the rules would apply to 14000000 adults mirroring

a very controversial system now in place in austria, with germany currently preparing for a power transition. opinions are split as to how to deal with the crisis. is our correspondent peter oliver. 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. i listen, a smile is a so 1st of all the situation we're in 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. within 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 2 g approach, which bothers that are vaccinated or cannot show that they have recovered from covered from restaurants, theaters, jim's and nightclubs defendants at 1st, 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 will be seen and unfair 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 marcus zada

is wanting things could get very bought. if 10 is the apocalypse, we're at 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 at around 67 percent and protested against covered restrictions. a still vocal any 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 where 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 pushback 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 with the light heart, but unfortunately it is necessary. it's an old 2015. i like it where role against the current government, which is leading us into disaster leading us into economic cas cleanings. he saw overall, i find the whole development extremely alarming. there are lines outside of this vaccination center here in berlin is the feeling is the sooner rather than later, germany will follow austria's lead and impose national restrictions on post that of 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 haughty berlin. the pentagon is at loggerheads with the oklahoma national guard. over mandatory vaccines are threatening disciplinary action if god's when skip their cobra injections. that's after the 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 the same potential as active duty members who refused the vaccine. in mid september, u. s. defend circuitry, lloyd austin, announced all uniformed personnel would have to get vaccinated against covert. however, the newly appointed commander of oklahoma's national guard said he would turned 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. spy cohen, who was a libertarian vice presidential candidate in 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 buy 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 us, with the federal courts holding up one of the vaccine mandates and many state governments already suing the by the ministration that 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 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 the youth, an age activist and canada, her voice alarm over a surgeon medically assisted deaths saying that practice has now become normalized . euthanasia became legal in canada in 2016 and about year more than a 1000 people underwent assisted suicide. that's according to health canada. i figure reach 7500 last year and according to one psychiatrist, people are now asking for the procedure even when they are physically healthy. a few days ago, a 30 role 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 psychiatrists. daughter might be killed by the very psychiatrist. back in 2016, the canadian government legalized euthanasia. adults who are terminally ill. the rules were 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 who suffering is cause only by mental illness will be allowed to opt for euthanasia. when we discussed this story with alex shot and book executive director of the youth in asia, prevention coalition and kate, our an author and charity founder. so this, this statistics are quite shocking, but my position a day fail, there is very, very important. there is 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. a people with disabilities often react by saying, hey, in the culture we live in, we feel already denigrated. we feel like our lives are less 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 and depressor to die because they're a burden on the family of the health system. and they haven't got the money. and the family is going to go in the vet for it. 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 is a very radical point of view because he so i have not answered the question why, why is society allowing this type of a 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 and 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 then 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 and to have the right a 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 em and day. why they should speed up the process of their death. and i story wraps up this news cost for this hour here live on our t international. thanks for joining us so much for the program. anything you think you might have missed or you want to catch up on just check out the website odyssey dot com for the meantime. we are back with

people. join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess with the world politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then and people is something they can't ride on police report if you can. in december 2020, a group of anti fascists allowed a film crew access for 3 months. so like if people, organization, if an idea that you must be opposed, that you can't allow the game while they may kill their faces. but they can say what they believe in, we believe in helping our community. we believe that back to them is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten reuben. this is

a chance to see who and teeth are really are. in order for me to extract my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter have to be on to the t for the that's all american. we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in 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 russia. scapegoating. russia is the excuse used by failing western elite or new york. it's really what america is about ah, when our mayor took our place, 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 wind up being buried on hard i. the city has always wanted to forget about. so he 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. well, 1000000 souls are buried. where so much of new york city history is buried is humans of the inequality that it exists in the city for centuries. ah, ah, all i know she was content not only for the jury verdict on the written house trial, but also the public reaction. we will have our law enforcement panel discussion and

i don't know the nickname, sleepy joe can be applied to president biden after his life, even conversation the president cheap, which lasted 3 and a half hours. while there were lots of talk of more cooperation between the 2 world superpowers, there was no breakthroughs on a key issues. i taiwan trade in human rights. making some ask are the 2 countries in the midst of a cold war? and we have all had at that moment and we've been in conversation with others in person and magically the next time we checked our phone and i had popped up related to what exactly we were talking about. some i find this convenient others and i find it creepy. we will dive into the technology involved as well as why this invasion of privacy is legal. i'm huge, we're going to give you the 360 view of these stories on today's news be used right here. on our team, erica ah.
