10:02 am
are introducing partial locked ons for the unvaccinated or limiting their access to key serv says in the czech republic, the measures of spark public fury, the thousands protesting on prague central square. the back is old. so, tightening the screws on the on jobs, barring them from large events on requiring testing and workplaces. and as we can see, your, it hasn't gone down very well in bratislava, in germany daily infections. i've had a record hanging on berlin is expected to impose new restrictions at some stage today or europe correspondent, peter, all of our a can take us through what said to change. it looks like we are going to see new measures nall change in germany when it comes to covered restrictions that would allow the 60 states in the individual governance in those states to strengthen, to tighten those restrictions. should they feel that they are necessary? what that bare minimum, that national bare minimum could look like is being called the to g plus method.
10:03 am
now to g was the way in which only the vaccinated. and those that can prove that they've recovered from cove at 19 would have access to certain public spaces to g plus means you wouldn't get in to add things like restaurants, bars, cafes, theaters, or cinemas without em, both having your vaccine certificate or your proof that you've recovered and a recent negative test. now this has proved pretty popular with the population suggesting 60 percent of those would back such a moose among them seems to be the outgoing chancellor angle of merkel who has highlighted the real risk that germany is facing from this 4th wave of covert lighting, digging venting upon me, log into the current and execution in germany is dramatic. i can't say any other way on. the 4th wave is here in our country with full force on we're urgently new
10:04 am
to make progress on vaccinations. and so i would also like to take this opportunity to promote vaccines. it's also not too late at all to decide to get vaccinated for the 1st time. this action certainly needed spurred. it's not just because of the high coven numbers that something needs to be done. the current government has seemed to have been inadequate when it comes to its response, particularly to this 4th wave of coven 19 around 60 percent of those polled by news magazine dash beagle said. current government hadn't been cutting it hadn't been doing enough for what we are facing is a real problem when it comes to those in need of serious health care. in germany, there is a shortage of intensive care beds in some regions. meaning those that are a who are really, really sick with coven 19, are going to struggle to find the care that they need. what we are seeing is the interm health minister yet spawns saying that he wants to the boost the job given
10:05 am
to all of those over the age of a scene. be keeping an eye on what comes out of the bone, the stag all day on thursday. well, on the overall picture, professor of molecular college, lawrence young told me the type thing of restrictions is all about trying to ease the burden on hospitals. vaccination doesn't completely stop you spreading the virus. it does stop, you getting sick, and it does take pressure off the health care system. so what we're seeing here, essentially, with the searches across europe is a combination of insufficient vaccine uptake. and the premise sure easy restriction measures. and this is a, was us, our combination human behavior and the need to get high levels of immunity in the population to prevent hospitalization. vaccines work in reducing the spread of infection. the not perfect in doing that, but they do work in damping down spread and that's what we're seeing. that's what we're experiencing. because a lot of this is about the fact that we have a very,
10:06 am
very infectious virus that spreads from person to person very easily. that we're in a situation where a lot of europe is starting to experience cold weather, driving people inside into pull the ventilated spaces where the virus spread. so simple measures on top of explanation of very effective okay, big update on the story we've been closely following for the week. the 1st plane ticking migrants back to iraq from belarus has now taken off, according to an iraqi diplomat. more than 400 people have oh, officially registered to fly home voluntarily. it comes after crowds of people spent several freezing nights out in the open on the bell roost. poland border hoping to get into the e. u. at the moment, only a few doesn't remain out in the cold. after most of the migrants were housed in a converted warehouse. a covered vaccination point has been set up at the camp to our senior correspondent, murat, gas. d, have sent us this report from the scene. this jet was announced just yesterday,
10:07 am
plans for it. things have been expedited, obviously. moving along very quickly. there has been an abrupt de escalation here. the migrants have been moved back away from the polish or from the polish food on the bell, russian son. so even those who, who wanted to remain, who wanted to take their chances and try the run the board even may have been moved . further back here to woods, this logistics had to which has been handed over for the needs of the migrant. more than a 1000 people are now housed here, they are receiving a medical attention, for example, which a number of them have needed, especially after the, the incident where polish secure it puts the, sprayed them with, with water cannon laced with a tear gas like substance. so they're receiving medical attention as hot food here
10:08 am
. there's electricity, there's, there's warmth that the weather recently hasn't been cons to any one. it is been wet. it has been frightfully cold, very windy and it's going to get worse. it's go to snow. so even those hardy migrants who want to take their chances and border they're there, they're being forced to think twice, but doing so. but again, that iraq has sent a jetta is one thing, but there are many nationalities here. there are afghans. there are syrians, there are iraq is obviously, but there are also even people from tibet that have been spotted here are all coming here to belarus, trying to get across into europe, most of them into germany getting across poland into germany over the last several days. many people by may have changed their minds. the what they imagined the strip would be like is very different from what it was like, which is when they faced her flashbanc grenade stared tear, gasped. water jet, fired by polish. security forces had many of them now saying that they would rather
10:09 am
return to where they came from, rather than risk running the border lumber. we lay them each and i don't have any more hope for the european union. we were sleeping in the forest for 10 days and they were children with us. it's very dangerous and none of the you countries are ready to speak about the speak problem. and nobody accepts us in holland is using take us against women and children. and the you keep silence about this. only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous if they seizes animals are, we are not on emotion. oliver. i have failed to reach germany, and i once go home. we've tried to get europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset, but i saw happened at the border. i can't stay here very hard. it envelope man of the vasa. i am very tired. i don't want to try again. my family in iraq, her saying please come back. when i saw poland use tear gas against women and children. i thought other european countries would be no different. there have been
10:10 am
many questions asked of poland responds to these migrants attempting to cross the border. women, children, among them, the violent often responds that there are very few people who have made it across the boarded among those even fewer scanner. individuals have made it all the way to germany. they're being caught across poland and driven back to the board with barrows and forced back across the board to so again, many of become disenchanted with what they imagined europe would be like. and what they have found reality to be like, again, be expect many more repatriation floods from iraq from, from other countries perhaps. but the, the situation is that there has been a d escalation on the political level. there was also been contact between belarus and. 3 the european union president lucas, chicago, his administration just good, just coming out saying there, i know about 7000 migrants currently in bellows,
10:11 am
about 2000 of them here at near the border with the new the checkpoint, the border with the, with poland, and many of them are going to be driven back to minsk the capital and they're going to seek those flights, carrying them out of the country. yet just to continue her outs piece there with roots from bella russo into poland, largely sealed off migrants are trying their look further north south the lithuanian frontier. the bell russian border service has released this on verified video, allegedly showing lithuanian police with dogs forcing migrants to turn back on tuesday at night. quite disturbing, really at lithuania, which is in the you has offered a different version of events, said saint beller. russian guards pushed 13 migrants over to the left human insight and prevented them from returning to bali bruce after they were in line and will
10:12 am
before belarus, set off thought make shift border shelter from migrants. many of them spent weeks out in the freezing cold, with little or no food. a situation agencies called the monitoring disaster r t has been following those harling developments from day one. them most significant at reports can all be found in one place. no, that is the r t show channel on youtube. paul, it's a, it's almost sunset. i had the cam and my clothes reek of burnt wood from cam fires . ah, my eyes are sore because of the smoke and i just, i don't know, i feel dizzy, but this is nothing compared to what these people i have been through spend last 3 days with these migrants with these refugees. and i guess we've set it all blood on death. starving it desperate mothers. oscar so far. this is the largest migrant crisis. europe's eastern
10:13 am
frontier. okay, moving on now, despite the british government making repeated claims that it would get a grip on the illegal immigration this year has seen record number of migrants arriving and you kiss or more than 23000 people have so far scrambled ashore in 2021 after making the powerless english channel crossing on the authorities of now admitted on me, 5 of them have been sent back to the continent. the happened some difficulties around secure returns, not least as a consequence of cutting. the thought is an important context. i feel free to set to, to player, to hide this time last year that return agreements were on number one priority, it strong in the french national interest to agree such returns interest that gives me significant cause for optimism. instead, the opposite has happened. is that correct? yeah, ambition remains to secure successful returns,
10:14 am
arrangements with our european friends and neighbors and potentially with the european union. but this also doesn't just relate to the well, you had just that britain has got to do better. that is, the admission for all ministers have in the united kingdom. it's simply no good, really a blaming these cycle difficulties, or even the cove at 90 in pandemic. the calls the numbers are really escalating out of control. it comes as the numbers of people trying to reach the united kingdom via the english channel has now trickled in a year from 8 to half 1000 to move and 23000 in the last week alone. a on 3 different occasions over a 1000 people reach the united kingdom via this route. now, ministers all following. indeed, the home secretary pre details lead of using a slogans and rhetoric like making the channel absolutely on viable, but it seems to be just a slogan is now 3 years ago, pretty battelle 1st to use that phrase. and the situation year on year is only
10:15 am
a getting was well as per usual, as a tit for tat between the united kingdom and the french old forties. not only does each sigh as the others problem, but the united kingdom says the french authorities are simply not keeping to their word of this joint patrol mission. while the french authorities say that the u. k. was in no position at to point the finger of blame will pre to battle met with her french counterparts and the sound late position continues. buquet home secretary and french interior minister agreed to accelerate the delivery of the commitments made in the joint. clement of july 2021. to live on the joined determination to prevent 100 percent of cross science and make this deadly route on viable. for the record, the 100 percent figure was not agrees between the home secretary and french, interior minister, gerald german and and should not be presented as an agreed commitment. it is not that it is not part of the joint statement. oh, thought the diplomatic roots haven't really worked either. the united kingdom is
10:16 am
trying to replace the dublin agreement with other resettlement schemes. however, france, belgium gemini, and sweden have all rejected these attempts, but one is certainly needed, as i say, these numbers are now as soaring out of control. and we have to look at the context of all of this. even ministers in that meeting admitted the very fact that when the full of cowboy happened, that's the only soul, the influx of asylum seekers, particularly from afghanistan on the nit by region with these people ending up here in the channel. plus, of course i wasn't just the crisis of people coming to the united kingdom via this route. but what happens once that here as well, we know it can take up to years for asylum seekers at to be processed. and now the u. k. is even considering offshore a processing of these applications, particularly in albania. that's a i did that's been floating around for some time now, however, i'll pena simply rejecting these claims. so it seems rhetoric and these don't you
10:17 am
deals that simply isn't an alta to dealing with this crisis. nothing really seems to be working on campaign as have long said. the united kingdom needs safe and legal passages of full asylum seekers to reach the united kingdom because of course make no mistake. the english channel is one of the wells busiest shipping lines. when people say it is life threatening, it's absolutely no. a exaggeration, of course, in recent weeks we've seen at least 2 people losing their life when trying to cross this powerless journey with many mole fit at to be lost at sea as well. so the time really is now to get a grip of this situation and still ahead racing into controversy, the international olympic committee, the u. turns now, seeing it can't be proven. the transgender athletes have any competitive edge over biological women, more enough, push for inclusivity short. mm. ah,
10:18 am
ah, when i was shown seemed wrong when i was just don't a whole new world. yes. to see out disdain, to come to the african and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground prices for gas is going and going to be up dramatically by the time the elections because a bite has an adjust the true cause of this calamity. and that is the excess of money printing, and they, they're scheduled now to double the money supply, the empty money supply again, on the next 12 months. they doubled it over the previous 12 months. they're going
10:19 am
to dublin again. so gas is going $89.00 a gown. ah, so can we up to 20 minutes into the program? welcome back. love to mir putin has branded as provocative the military actions of the u. s. in the black sea, along with the expansion of nato near to russia's borders. let's get more on this now and speak to ortiz, mitree polk dmitri pretty fiery speech by the russian leader today. it seems. tell us more. yeah, while of the speech came during his meeting with foreign policy officials here in moscow. and during this meeting, he basically discussed the political and economic landscape in which russia finds
10:20 am
itself to day. and of course, the most pressing topic is, of course relations between russia and the west nato, and the u. s. and frankly, these relations are at an all time low right now. hootin mentioned how this didn't usually always be the case. he mentioned that it used to be that relation between for example, rush handy wes, were good and cooperative. however, over the past several decades, they have basically disintegrated and somehow even continue to get worse. right now, communications between rush and nato have essentially been saburd. both sides of expelled each other's representatives, but this all tatting to all of that is now the provocations from nato putin talked about how 1st of all, nato broke all his promises and continued expanding towards the east, how countries like poland and romanian. now, how's air defense systems which as prudence, as could be alarmingly quickly converted into a sol systems. and he mentioned the recent incident where the several nato,
10:21 am
a strategic bombers were cited just 20 kilometers away from russia's borders. he basically said that all these since combine are essentially crossing all red lines and they are utter disregard for russia, safety and interests here. take a lesson sort of issue regarding the black sea. the latest absolutely goes beyond certain limits. we've seen strategic boma is fly, 20 kilometers from us state border and these bombers carry very serious weapons. as you would know. yes, we constantly express our concerns about this matter. we talk about red lines, but of course we understand that our partners, the very peculiar and to put it mildly, they have a superficial attitude toward all of our warnings and talks about red lines. hooton's id say that a russian nevertheless, still would like to have better relations with the west and nato, but only on terms of mutual respect. howard this point,
10:22 am
it seems that the other side is not particularly interested in that, but put and said that if they don't want to build back relations, well basically they don't have to zillow like will. and mr. disobey spelled a diplomats out of the blue without giving any reason little and then they got offended that we shut down the ambition in russia. why get offended? this was their initiative. they did it with their own hands and they look for someone else to blame. should be well if they don't want to cooperate with us, fine, they don't have to. it isn't something we want anyway. i think they'll want to die like they're already giving us signs that they do. so why expel the diplomats out of the blue for no reason, just like that. how are during the meeting person also mentioned good relationships . he talked about the shifting economic and politic landscape and how the new center of the world will basically be the asia pacific region. and how russia must embrace this change and start building
10:23 am
a meaningful and own positive relationships in that region for the right next future. the entry, thanks for taking us through all thoughts tease. dimitri poke in a controversal move, reversing its previous cells. the international olympic committee now says it can't be presumed transgender athletes of a competitive advantage over biological women. it's all part of a review by the i o c into its guidelines, which also suggest trans women should no longer have to lower their testosterone levels to be able to compete. ortiz dunney armstrong's got or that the i o. c has lowered the bah, according to new inclusive framework for fairness and non discrimination. the standard for trench and a female athletes wanting to compete amongst women is well just saying so, no athlete should be excluded from competing based on an and verified alleged or perceived. and fear competitive advantage due to their sex variations,
10:24 am
physical appearance and or transgender status. this means no more quote unnecessary medical treatment. for example, lowering testosterone levels. no presumption of inherent advantages over biological women and restrictions will only be imposed based on painstaking with search. that's a huge change from the previous requirements. initially, this was sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy. that was them relax to just a maximum testosterone level. now the bar has been set as an old time low, and unsurprisingly the news has been welcomed by trans athletes. this new i o c framework is groundbreaking in the way that it reflects what we know to be true, that athletes like me and my peers participate in sports without any inherent advantage. and the ta humanity deserves to be respected. when i challenge the stock home consensus after making team usa in 2015, the main premise of my case was my position that medical intervention should not be
10:25 am
necessary to compete in sport. while the surgery requirement was removed or the medical steps remained in the policy away from arbitrary self identification, ignoring the natural biological differences between men and women, has naturally caused concern. some female athletes have accused the i'll see of putting women sport at risk of being overrun by bigger and stronger competitors, boosted by testosterone. it will create mountain a work to tell us what we already know on sex based performance, full of political platitudes. but little clear, helpful guidance, basin facts and science will diminish. female sport, the i o. c could have protected the female category, unequivocally to encourage women and girls into sport with guarantee of fair and meaningful competition. they choose not to and is even being concerned from within the trans community itself. it is important that the i o c has come out in favor of inclusion of trans and intersects athletes. but i think sections 5 and 6 of the
10:26 am
framework are problematic. it is also unreasonable to ask the sports federations to have robust and peer reviewed research before placing restrictions on trans athletes in elite sport. such research will take years if not decades. the i o c have however stopped short of enforcing the framework. it's instead been watered down as advice to individual federations who will decide for themselves who competes and who doesn't. that move has been branded as a bit to shift responsibility by critics. after 2 decades of the i see ignoring ddr situation and letting down female athletes. we are hair again with a cowardly passing of the box. how contested her own beyond the drug band. last but not an issue. if born male in females thought men get fast, sport women, not so instead of a hard line resolution on transcend the competition. the i o c have handed the baton to individual federations to decide on the fates of female sport. but the new provisions could be considered a longer way to triumph for inclusion. after all,
10:27 am
if transient, the women wish to be included in elite women's sport. all they have to do is ask. it's up to the federations to listen. they, i, oh she and you know, other people, a lot of people, they want to be inclusive. they want to have people taking part in sport, irrespective of a, an inch of sex or positions that they have bosh. on the other hand, they are always aware of they desire all millions of female athletes or other sports where having somebody with who has previously had male characteristics taking part in can be dangerous. you could have situations where you might have a 120 killer gram rugby player who has previously been
10:28 am
playing in men's rugby taking parting women's rugby could be of grave, serious problems from a safety point of view to opposing plans. what is mummy? it's a question with a surprisingly long answer, but to be these days, max and stacy get into that next in the kaiser report. stay close. aah! look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence,
10:29 am
real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with oh, is your media reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led to somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend
10:30 am
a join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. here is something they can't ride on police report in december 2020. a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. so like if people organization, it's an idea that it must be a pose, a channel out the gate while they may kill their faces. but they can say what they believe in. we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to united states has gotten proven. this is a chance to see who and t for really are in order for me to extract my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter have to be on to the teacher to. that's all there is. we can't trust the police, we can't trust the government.
