our own didn't our own technological design, things always further on than our ability to feed the us food and drug administration. the fights have freedom of information request in court. all saying that it be given a 55 years to fully release redacted documents or anything to the approval of fall . his cobit 19 waxing. also this, our protests sweep europe as governments clam down yet again in response to rising cold cases. germany is expected shortly to issue tough, new rules for its unvaccinated cities. they seizes animals up, but we are not on emotion as i saw up into the border. i can't stay very hard. when i saw poland used to your gas against women and children, i thought other european countries would be no different. off the days of tensions,

the poland bella, rou, sports begins to clear off a demoralized ma, grants truce warm shelter instead of facing tear gas and want to cut them at the hands of polish gods. iraq is now sending plains for those who want to return home . well, if they don't want to cooperate with us, fine, they don't have to. it isn't something we want anyway. andrea brewton take swipe at the military activities of washington and nato and a fiery foreign policy speech. ah, oh, welcome to r t international law from moscow. i'm daniel hawkins through the was and i, it's thanks for joining us on the program. i was thought with europe to where countries are being batted by yet another corona virus wave with france, russia and more than $20000.00 daily cases for the 1st time since august in hungary,

the infection rate is 5 times higher than at the thoughts of this month. the numbers are also sparking and austrian in response, a government saw rushing up the pressure on people to get their own covered shot. and several easy nations are introducing partial locked downs for the unvaccinated or limiting their access. the key services in the czech republic here, the measures have sparked public outcry with thousands protesting on prongs central square. the mac is also tightening the screws on the on jabbed, borrowing them from large events and requiring testing and workplaces. and we can see that hasn't gone down well in bratislava and germany, data infections have had a record i and, but in is expected to impose new restrictions at some stage the day. or your correspondence, peter, all of that can take us through what's set to change. it looks like we are going to see new measures in all 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 2 g plus method. 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 into. and things like restaurants, bars, cafes, theaters or cinemas without a 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 expectation in germany is dramatic. i cancelled any other way and the 4th wave is hid in our country with full force on we urgently need 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 seem 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 healthcare is germany. there is a shortage of intensive care beds in some regions. meaning that those that are

a who are really, really sick with cove at 19, are going to struggle to find the care that they need. how what we are seeing is the interim health minister yen spawn. saying that he wants to see booster vaccine jobs given out to all of those over the age of 18. be keeping an eye on what comes out of the bond, the stag all day on thursday. professor of man i can on quality lawrence young. so the tightening 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 dampening 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, 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 pool, the ventilated spaces where the virus spread. so simple measures on top of explanation of very effective over half a century. that's how long american drugs watchdog wants to sit on reaction documents on 5 is fine as they relate to the jobs approval by the f t a and have been requested by a group of medics on a freedom of information. but the f. d. a is resisting for more on this. let's go to a mine in new york. caleb moore pen. taylor. this is a rather long time, isn't it? for the f. b, a to drip feed information to the public, half a century as we said. how will they explaining this

while we have a situation here where, because there has been a freedom of information act request filed for the information about how the vaccines were approved. we have the us food and drug administration stepping forward and proposing to release $500.00 pages per month of the remaining $329000.00 pages. that would take roughly 55 years 55 years for this information to be made available. now the organization that filed the, the request public health and medical professionals for transparency. they say that's ridiculous. they also pointed out that it took the f d a 4 months to approve the vaccine based on the same number of pages. this is what they said. this $100.00 a day period is the same amount of time. it took the f d a to review the responsive documents for the far more intricate task of licensing

finances cove. in 1900 vaccine. it is difficult to imagine a greater need for transparency than immediate disclosure of the documents relied upon by the f d a to license the product that is now being mandated to over 100000000 americans. now at this point, the organization says that if that pace of $500.00 pages per month proceeds that makes the freedom of information, act almost meaningless. and it discredits the food and drug administration promise to be transparent. the f. d. a knew the intense public interest in that data and information. it should have been preparing to release of civil tenuously with the licensure. instead, it has done the opposite. this case is not about the vaccine monday to where the fines that can be held liable. this is a fire case where the only relevant issue at this stage in the litigation is setting a reasonable processing schedule. now it's important to note that we did reach out to the us food and drug administration, about why it is their want to take half

a century to release these documents. they replied and gave us a response and the f. d. a repeatedly highlighted that it has full confidence in the data that was used to support these files over by an attack cove at 19 vaccination authorization. now it's important to note that one of the companies that was involved in the trial of the pfizer vaccine has recently faced a little bit of a scandal brought to light by a whistleblower. this article was published in the medical british medical journal . now the report from last month in which we had a former clinical trial auditor for the pfizer coded vaccine raising deep concerns about patient safety and about data integrity. during the process, however, a spokesperson for of in tavia stepped up and said that this person did not speak with the corporation before coming forward and discredited. some of the other allegations that were published in the british medical journal,

and this concern seems to have been discredited. so at the moment we have the lawsuit that was filed and we have these medical professionals saying they want this information. we expect us to be in court for some time, but at the moment the f. d. a is offering to release $500.00 pages a month of the remaining $329000.00 pages. and that would take 55 years over half a century. and such a long time. read isn't that caleb open there? thanks for that update from new york. the 1st flane taking migrants back to rock from valerie has landed in bagdad. according to an iraqi diplomat. more than 400 people of officially registered to fly home voluntarily. as comes off, the crowds of people spent several freezing life sodomy opened on the batteries, poland bore, 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 for house and a converted warehouse. a cobra vaccination point has also been set up in the camp. our senior correspondent, warren gas,

they have sent us this report. this jet was announced just yesterday, plans for it. things have been expedited, obviously moving along very quickly. there has been an abrupt de escalation here. the migrant have been moved back away from the polish or from the polish foot on the bell russian side. so even those who wanted to remain who wanted to take their chances and try to run the border even may have been moved. further back here to woods, this logistics had to which has been handed over for the needs of the migrants, 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 police secure it forces sprayed them with, with water cannons laced with a tear gas like substance. so they're receiving medical attention. this hot food

here, there's electricity, there's, there's warmth that the weather recently hasn't been. cons to any one. it is been wetted, 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 the border they're, they're being forced to think twice before doing so. but again, that iraq has said to jet ease, one thing, but there are many nationalities here. there are afghans, there are sir. and sarah, 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 at the is what they imagined. the strip would be like is very different from what what it was like, which is when they faced her flashbanc grenade stared, tear gas, water jet, fired by polish security forces. had many of them are now saying that they would

rather return to where they came from. rather than risk running the border liberal toilet em 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 that new countries are ready to speak about this big problem . and nobody accepts us in poland is using tig us against women and children. and the you keep silence about this. poland is telling the media that we are dangerous . they see as, as animals are, but we are not animals. well, either i have failed to reach germany and i want to go home. we've tried to get to europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset. i saw happen to the border. i can't stay here very hard. his envelope man, the vasta. i am very tired. i don't want to try again. my family in iraq are 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 many

questions asked of poland response 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 border with bellows. and forced back across the border. so again, many of become disenchanted with what they imagined europe would be like. and what they have found reality to be like again, we expect many more repatriation floods from iraq from ah, from other countries perhaps. but the situation is that there has been a d escalation on the political level. there was also been contact between bellis and. 3 the european union president lucas, chicago, or his administration just could just coming out saying there,

i know about 7000 migrants currently and bellows, about 2000 of them here at near the border with the near 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. quick warning you may find miss following video. distressing with routes from batteries into poland, largely sealed off migrants and trying to look for the north lithuanian frontier. but our ocean border service has released this and verified video, allegedly showing lithuanian police with dogs forcing lago. it's the turn back on tuesday night with wayne here, which is in the u. s. offered a different version of events sang, but a russian guards pushed 30 migrants over to lithuanian side and prevented them from returning to molars. after they were denied entry, vladimir putin has brown at his provocative the actions are the military actions of

the u. s. and the black sea, along with the expansion of nato near to russia's borders, reporting next to his artist mitree power. this address by present burton came with it during his meeting with foreign policy officials here in moscow. during this meeting, he basically discussed the political and economic landscape in which russia finds itself to day. and of course, the most pressing topic is 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 and he, wes, were go operative. however, over the past several decades, they have basically disintegrated and somehow even continue to get worse. right now, communications between russia and nato have essentially been severed sadie to all of that is now the provocations from nato put and talked about how. first of all, nato broke all its promises and continued expanding towards the east,

how countries like poland and romania now house air defense systems, which as putin says, could be alarmingly quickly converted into a sol systems. and he mentioned the recent incident where the several nato strategic bombers were cited just 20 kilometers away from russia's borders. he basically said that all these actions combine are essentially crossing all red lines and the urn utter disregard for rushes, safety and interests issue regarding the black sea, the latest absolutely goes beyond certain limits. we've seen strategic boomers 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 partner is 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 you. so respect our at this point, 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. they spell the diplomats out of the blue without giving any reason. 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 then look for someone else to blame should. 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 though they're already giving us signs that they do. so why expel the diplomats out of the blue for no reason, just like that. but of course, nato says that it's russia, that's the bad guy. am syce russians the leisure involvement in eastern ukraine, as well as other stories where rushes painted to be the bad guy. but with all these

allegations, tit for tat sen, provocations. it seems that relations between russia and the west, nato and the u. s. won't be building back better any time soon. scott rose hurry, former us marine corps intelligence officer. so as nato is playing with fire, when present buddhist speaks of red lines. um, these are, you know, academic exercises. these are to words on a piece of paper. these are, these are actual, a geopolitical military boundaries of their russia has established based upon its national security interests. and these are defensive interests, not offerings of interests. russia is deeply concerned as the present is present. booting noted when a needle, farmers are flying within 20 kilometers of the russian border. um they are carrying weapons which could be used as 1st strike weapons. and this is something that increasingly concerns are russia. what is the intent of nato? so i think the russian president is putting nato and the,

and the united states on notice that, you know, it's time to stop. you know, this behavior, they can only be construed by russia's threat. there's nothing in the behavior of nato in the united states that can be construed by russia as being non threatening in nature. and with winter on its way, europe centers across his shows no sign of letting up gas prices have shut off even higher. reaching in a 1000 heroes pie 1000 cubic meters. on tuesday, the 17 percent increase came right off to germany suspended certification of an old string to pipeline other countries manager regulator insists the authority of the pipeline has been registered as a german entity, while mental string to companies based in switzerland. we discussed the situation with klaus owns a member of the german parliament. he says that those he will suffer the most from the gas supplied the lay of ordinary citizens. does. it should be the only correlates into the which this is unfortunate because the german as well as

european customers, would eventually pay for such delays into his necessary indeed that the pipeline opening is expedited as soon as possible for the gas to start flowing and fill out the storage facilities, as i've asked the federal government, if the current gas price increase has something to do with russia not fulfilling its contractual obligations. i have received confirmation. the russia has fulfilled all its contracts, and there is no information proving otherwise. this notion rather shows that here we have politically biased people who blame russia for anything that goes wrong. again, we do have other pipelines that operationalized, we still have nor stream one, and several other pipelines that allow us to obtain russian gas. however, because the netherlands, norway are planning to cope gas production, i see that no strain to will be vital to increase the gas supply, bringing i can only worn not to further politicize. the issue of europe's energy supply. germany alone has made plenty of mistakes and it will be very wrong to

drive to the extreme. it is not that russia does not want to supply, rather it's a problem with those countries of transit that can abuse these circumstances. so i would like to warn you not to mix politics and not to take advantage of this situation around bella roost as it may once again, eventually lead to a discussion about the fight of this pipeline was who conflict? despite the british government making repeated claims that it would get a grip on illegal immigration this year has seen record numbers of margaret serrato . when you k soil. more than 23000 people have so far scrambled ashore in 2021. after making the previous english channel of crossing and the authorities have now admitted only 5 of them have been sent back to the continent. mapping some difficulties around secure returns not least as a consequence of cutting fit. that is an important context and i feel free to senator dodd, this time, last year that return agreements were on number one priority. it's from you and 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, mission remains to secure successful returns, arrangements with our european friends and neighbors and potentially with the european union. but this also doesn't just relate to the you. well, you had just that britain has got to do better. that is the admission for all ministers have in the united kingdom. it simply no good, really a blaming these circle difficulties, or even the cove at 90 and pandemic. the cause, 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 tripled in a year from 8 and a half 1000 to more than 23000 in the last week. alone. a on 3 different occasions over a 1000 people reach the united kingdom via this route. now ministers are following . indeed the home secretary pre patel's lead of using a slogans and rhetoric like making the channel absolutely on viable. but it seems

to be just the slogan. it's now 3 years ago, pretty battelle 1st used that phrase. and the situation year on year is only 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 precipitate met with her french counterparts. and the stalemate position continues. buquet, home secretary and french interior minister agreed to accelerate the delivery of the commitments made in the join equipment of july 2021. to deliver on the joined determination to prevent 100 percent of cross science and make this deadly route and viable for the records. 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, father diplomatic routes haven't really worked either. the united kingdom is 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 when we saw the influx of asylum seekers particularly from afghanistan on the nit by region with these people ending up here in the channel cross. of course, there was in just a crisis of people coming to the united kingdom by 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 deals that simply isn't an answer 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 for asylum seekers to reach the united kingdom because of course make no mistake. the english channel is one of the wells busiest shipping lanes. 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 perilous journey with many more fit to be lost at sea as well. so the time really is now to get a grip of this situation. david cockburn, former bricks at fault in euclid. any beef of scotland says migrants arrived in the u. k. illegally should not be allowed to stay. one of the main problems, of course, is to draw. people are being drawn to united kingdom because they get all sorts of advantages. when they get to the united kingdom to get housing,

they get mobile phones. apparently they get all sorts of goodies. no one is ever said by this is a problem. and it's a problem for the french to, i don't to much blame the french, i believe the british authorities for not clamping down and for saying, you know, if you come to the united kingdom illegally, you will not never be allowed to remain. and you will never be allowed at work. so you know that that's what we should be say. we should be making an attractive for people to come over and making sure it does come or is returned. france apparently a lovely country. there's no reason why they would not want to stay here. this is economic migrants coming over to improve their life. i don't blame them if i were from some of the countries they came from. i would want to as well, but the trouble is the health service can cope with this and, and neither can the social security system they seen for the i like 7 show coming up next that we're back in. often i would like us to join us again

with acknowledge is perfect to go into the future. we can change our way of thinking in a way that we can visualize how we will think and how we will feel and how our need

to be in 50 years. so our own, our own technological invent things always further on than our ability to feed. i use well, kind of said alex savage show for a special program featuring perhaps the most naturally gifted footballer ever to adorn in england jersey. unfortunately, the score of the most memorable england physics headlines had been dominated by racism in cricket. i'm going to be a standing black clears to meet the full force of overt racism and fitful in 1990 s

. he's published in you pick which contains some surprising and challenging do racism operate in wider society player is john binds, the big isn't titled the uncomfortable truth about racism. today, he is in conversation with alex, but 1st to your tweets, he knows and messages in response to i show last week on the continuing call with crisis jayceon wise and says, and my humble opinion, i don't think any of the deval government seems to be listening to the experts anymore. this must be because they obviously know better. not alan says, excellent shoe, as usual. you think that governments would listen to and follow the advice of these learned men? it's not rocket science after all. but common sense said to me that it's more about course in the greater good. keep up the good and valuable work. stevie mac says thanks, alex bit information on where we are.
