wow, ah ah, this alice hope headlines are what anti international, the death toll most siberian coal mine explosion rises to 52 with rescue was among the victims. it is russia's worst mining disaster and more than a decade. and here in our tea, we hear from survivors. there was just everywhere. those who go to job to the floor willfulness of rescue devices. tungsten becomes the 1st russian region to require covey immunity passes with q r code on public transport. although nationwide, infections are starting to decline and riots in gulf, the capital of sudan, as demonstrated denounce of military coups and demand the return of the civilian government. our correspondent is in the midst of the action. the crowd, these sees the 1000. we had seen many small columns moving in various staple,

but full converging here. ah, it is friday morning here at moscow and just after 8 o'clock now, i'm rural, re sushi starting the program with some tragic news from siberia. 52 people have now been confirmed, dead offer a huge explosion ripped through a coal mine in rushes came out of a region. a 6 of the victims were rescue workers less la and more now one across live to watch. he corresponded dmitri powell at the sink. and morning to dmitri a bit of a delay with all transmission ahead. but as i understand with now, we're now getting official numbers on, on that of the victims and fatalities. hey, can you bring us up to speed? what do we know so far? yeah, that's correct. yeah, the officials have now officially come out with the confirmed death count of this extremely tragic incident. that's 52 people dead. and 6 of them were rescue workers

who were trying to rescue the miners, who were stranded in the mind which suffered a catastrophic explosion and of smoke and fire that broke throughout the mind. now, at this point, there were on attempts to get them out. however, because of the dangers building up inside the mines, rescue attempts had to be halted for the night. and today we've learned that basically at this point, it's virtually impossible that any of the people trapped inside the mine had any chance of surviving. here was what the official said will say, while saving the minus 6 rescues died with the conditions down there is now impossible to talk of survivors considering that a food trained rescue t was killed by toxic guess penetrate on their skin. we are now here at the mine at the entrance to the mine and throughout the day we've been seeing awesome transfer transfer. it's coming in, but most importantly,

families coming out to get the belongings of their loved ones. these are women who lost her husband, their children. we've seen, it's very tragic. there's, they're all in tears. obviously they're very upset. they're here trying to reclaim some things like of car keys and some clothes that their husbands might have left here. at this point, no risk operations were any attempts to retrieve their bodies are going on right now. because that basically poses a danger to the rescuers themselves. right now there's a very dangerous build up of methane gas and a carbon monoxide all throughout the mindsets tunnels. rescuers have sealed off the line for approximately 3 days to allow the methane to naturally build up to about 20 percent. and only then it would be safer. the rescue workers to go down there at least try to extract the bodies of the people who were left there. unfortunately. now for quick breakdown of how these things unfolded. basically at 9 am on thursday,

were there were reports coming in of a fire and closing, breaking out some 250 meters below the ground in the list has now mind behind me. at that point, 283 people were tra, working inside the mine. within the 1st hours they were able to get out of there are some $236.00 people were actually evacuated. however, unfortunately, within just the 1st hours, 11 people already died from smoke, inhalation over 40 were then delivered to the hospital with various injuries the concussions, but mostly smoke inhalation. that was the main cause of injury during this incident . but the survivors were actually to heard from one of them have described the situation unfolding very chaotically here. take a listen at what the people who are actually going through at that by at that moment. we pulled out the saw blade, then we heard aloud banged, and that was it. we couldn't see anything. well, there was guess everywhere,

a joke to the floor on that. so rescue devices you'll grow those who are able to came out when those have couldn't did it. at that point, 35 people were still unaccounted for. so rescue teams arrived on the scene and several groups of rescuers were sent into the shafts. however, a shortly thereafter, a group of 6, rescuers were unable to come back on to contact. a beast of the groups were told to extract from the mind because of the dangerous build up of hazardous gases, but those 6 were not responsive. there was no communication with them. soon later we heard reports that 3 of the bodies were seen, so the chances of them surviving you were at that point well already low. now obviously this whole situation is a huge tragedy present food and has already expressed his condolences offered to the families of the victims of this incident. and a 3 days of mourning have been declared within the region. now,

in terms of responsibilities and what led to this whole situation right now, there is a criminal investigation going on into the violations of security measures on this a hazardous facility, a production facility already the president of the mining company, his deputy, and the person in charge of this particular mind, have all been detained on suspicions of violating these security measures. we will see, of course, what the investigation brings about that later. but for now we at least we know that the investigation is going on. there already. people being held responsible will keep you updated on how the investigation goes. but of course, right now, most of the thoughts are still, of course, going to the families of the people who lost their lives in this very unfortunate accident. how it ought to meet your pug. thank you. well rushes cove, it infection rate is finally slowing with daily new cases at the lowest since

october. now the world health organization says the country appears to have passed its recent peak. since june, vaccinations have been mandatory for public sector workers, including doctors, and teachers, and mosques on social distancing are still being enforced on a public transport nationwide. although additional measures are so far up to each region. now the republic of tucked our study has become the 1st russian province to require q r code showing cobit immunity on public transport. and it's been met with a mixed public reaction. r t. corresponding eagle, donald reports from the regional capital cousin that we're in a region that has some of the strictest anti coven measures in place in all of russia. cafes and bars have to shut down at 11 p. m. that's as visitors to get in, to show a special q r code showing that they're immune to coven 19. without this q r code. all of the public transport except for taxis, is off limits for you as well. and this latest restriction, well,

it did not sit well with the locals. oh, really kill. this is the work for broker of record for you will not be here. probably so complete that is in new york to shoot you the free boomer live with the went to module. so on average across russia, some 50 percent of its population has been immunized against cove at 19. but this republic, the republic of tata stone is lagging behind with its 44 percent. so this is cited as the reason as to why the authorities have decided to go well quite nuclear, with measures. a nostalgia is a low, it's become very hard. the pressure on the conductors has doubled, if i did conduct to must check the q r code and only then give a ticket, of course, morales the candles because of the look up. and there are cases of physical, a, solar school, buses and trams have been turned into health partial reserve, li,

unvaccinated have been left in a state of ultimate uncertainty. so among those people who did not get the vaccine in time, all who do not intend to get one altogether. among those people, there's plenty who simply do not have a car. so commuting to work for them has become a huge problem. but apparently they have been organizing on line with the drivers who have been eager to help and give them daily lifts to work. and right now we're on our way to leave one of them. the 1st person we're about to meet is only one of almost $10000.00 members of the telegram chat drivers. and one of the passengers used to find each other rules. it's not hard for me to give someone a lift because many people got into a situation where they don't have a q r code. they can't get to work and taking a taxi's extremely pricey. i think said the woman, the other day she had to pay a 1000 roubles to get to work because this is a very high price for a. have you received a job yourself? yes. and vaccinated? we do usually give a left to the same people there. now each time there is

a different person as a so sad for them. some drivers say they're able to take the elderly to hospitals. and sometimes there are people who can't take their kids to hospitals because they have no cure code. far from every one left without a q r code are hard line anti faxes. some have medical conditions preventing them from getting vaccinated. some have received only the 1st job of the to required and are still waiting for the due date of their next shot. others though, have more inventive reasons. yes, there's a lot. so i think this should be a universal coven vaccine for the whole world. but it doesn't matter what it's called. the idea is our bill. it's charles to washington or new york with his vaccine and the corresponding q r code good. now if i get vaccinated here, kazama in flight, i will receive a q r code is only valid in russia and i won't be able to go rolled with it. if the w h o registers this brittany, be jab, why would you agree to gary? sure. why? why not? if the certificate i guess is valid world wide,

i usually go to work on public transport, but on monday i left home and couldn't go anywhere. and i had to take a taxi and the prices were really high level. my car wasn't really being used to. so i decided if there are people struggling, that why not helps the one who really needs it. but not everyone is excited about the idea of this makeshift anti vax taxi service survey. to all these anti vaccination groups only make room for worse on you. i will say that it will still have comment by up to it. these are people who have nothing else to do other than to join into groups, yet them getting a job as a personal choice. suburban, but anti vax groups are just wrong. we've got local authorities have already loosened the lock down clamps a bit. people with an official medical discharge of those in between jobs will be eligible for a q r code. a change to the rule said introduced initially. when the brothers knew, i seen a decrease in the passenger traffic on public transport. on monday, traffic knows die by as much as 30 percent on tuesday, we had a 5 percent decrease about russia's president,

vladimir putin has been repeatedly stressing that vaccination must remain voluntary . but at the cost of a very unpopular measure, local authorities here have attempted to make it economically crippling to keep a vax and free lifestyle. i'm just done of opposing for ot see i think it to africa now where fury over a recent military coup in sudan is not letting up. despite the army, reinstating the out of prime minister on sunday, there's been constant unrest, and right in the thick of it is our senior correspondent, but at guest he f. well these are the traditional thursday demonstrations here. so darling gar, cartoon the crowd, these schindler thousands. we had seen many small columns forming in various they bought before converging here and what they all want these for power to be handed over by the military to a civilian government properly. they start without any acceptance. they bought the

military, the step down. many people here feel betrayed by prime minister ham dock, who signed an agreement with the military, giving up a lot of civilian bower to the military. we'd, if you, with this agreement between hum dog and moran, and this give legitimacy and legal situation for a coup with, if you'll just, we want comp will not complete civil society and complete civil government decade. and i'm a body of us. we are here to re emphasize the revolutions demands, which are freedom, democracy, either it's of the revolution or change needs to happen in this country in a way that evokes the nobleman uncompromising september revolution and to be met with no massive their cost. my, my us getting a safe, what does it, why getting and see why we all hug. fly. yeah, he get something good. our we all know that bad. it's not like this be one handout of tear gas out,

or something of the sort had been 5 here. but we haven't seen any police there also ties birmingham on the road. that is also in a traditional part of these protests whereby brutus to set them alive at major intersections, say that a barricade made up of bricks of stones to stop traffic. that is civil disobedience, but the crowd disease, very diverse. there are elderly, here there are women, there are children are also men. all sorts of people from all walks of life. of these crowds are much smaller than what organizers had called for. there were also much more than one we had seen earlier, many people that are given up letting people no longer see the point in these demonstrations. they do believe that any good change, positive change will come of these demonstrations often after 2 years of them. so the crowds are much thinner than all can i said hope they had a 1000000 people that come out the streets of hot boom to condemn last month too. i

q by the military and that will to get them the civilian, the, the prime minister. i'm dr. deal with the military power sharing deal, which they see as a betrayal of the revolution. president joe biden has delivered his thanksgiving speech with the message, america's back. it was far from a typical holiday festival. in the midst of a pandemic and inflation of 3 decades highs with more on the soaring prices and how the cost is affecting the everyday consumer enjoying their national holiday. here's saskia. title this thanksgiving. it wasn't that tough t hoping for a pardon, but the president, because at this point, the only thing that's not been hit by a patient us. i'll biden's ratings. but don't worry because his right hand woman has a slip cross of yes, you prices have nana. yes. they have probably why

come on i decided to take advantage of a walk ship to paris to drop a cool $400.00 on a single cooking pot. so much better than over paying back home. now the average american though decided to reuse lost his pot. so this years turkey to keep the price of the thanksgiving meal down, but it still ended up costing 20 percent more than in 2020. so maybe if they'd listen to the mainstream media's top tips, they could saved a dollar or 2, perhaps forgo the turkey. bear with me, i know that is the staple of the thanksgiving meal. however, some people think turkey is overrated. and so it's tends to be the most expensive thing on the table. maybe you do an italian feast instead. now if you're short on ideas where to buy things, you're cheap italian feast, i recommend puppy into your local branch of the dollar tree web. every item costs you guessed at a dollar for 35 years, that is been inflation popped along and it's now the $1.25 tree which might sound

unprecedented and very, very bad. but actually, you know, inflation is nothing more than biden's enemies spreading rumors a lot of talk about inflation and nothing from you, but in general out there has been, oh, it's become a political huddle. and while spending all your savings on a holiday meal might seem a big deal, you're really losing sight of the big picture here. they didn't really appreciate that. within a year, the bite administration has passed 2 major pieces of legislation through both of the house and the senate. now i wonder if the truck has have just been mandated vaccination amid a supply chain crisis, an historic shortage of drivers. appreciate biden. all those who this winter will probably see their energy bills jump by up to 50 percent, or those who might have not just a cold christmas, but a dark one to people who are monitoring the electric grid are incredibly concerned about brown, out or black out. and wait, wait, wait,

wait in the future or now. now and yes, bite and did release him next. oil barrels to fight rising energy prices, but some think he's just covering up the real problem. his own energy policy. that's why 14 states suit biden for stopping oil and gas leases. lawmakers want him to reopen the keystone pipeline, and unions that backed him in the elections. now site, you regret it. generally, there are too many fans of his, all that in green thing, president by whose energy policy is both weak and dom, but just is carmella has got a handle on inflation. the energy that could, she knows has stopped. so don't worry. barrels of oil does. u. s. consume per day. i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really little wonder that biden's piney at 2024. we run. if you wanted to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods that had risen of price last year, you could have hotdogs,

she's lettuce and cookies. so even beyond the economic and financial effects of inflation in places, roy and the visual style taxman has tremendous social pictures, role is devastating. the by the administration is far more worried about making sure the blame is cast on the previous administration. as opposed to addressing the actual causes a better thing right now would be for the government to are to observe some sort of his goal. busy and monitor sobriety and what prices are go back to where they were before the pandora. but it seems like, as has been said many years by democratic politicians are, they're not going to elect a good crisis going to waste and they're going to take every opportunity they can to get the sorts of policies and the sorts of thumb bud forms passed, washed ok, they're not guilty. verdict can the col. rittenhouse trial has been widely condemned with many trying to link the divisive case to race. despite those who was

shot by that. then 17 year old being white with his what one student association in wisconsin had to say about the routing. we stand in stock opposition to white nationalism and the killings that follow it. black and brown people across the country should not be targeted and subjected to excessive brutality and violence. the idea that our criminal justice system is so broken as to allow racist acts of violence to go unpunished, is shameful. rittenhouse was last week acquitted of all charges after fatal shooting to white people during a black lives matter protest in wisconsin, which had the senators who a riot. rittenhouse said he had acted in self defense with footage of the incident appearing to support his claims and the fall out doesn't end there. one university in the state of massachusetts, apparently now it was creating, racially segregated processing spaces, following the verdict. it's also been reported at an american technology retailer

has even offered its employees counseling. and we spoke to comedian and conservative. speaker evans, a psy at who, who thinks that even some people were at the end of the day. a lot of people here are just over reacting this idea that grow, people need to do to have psychological counseling and learn to have a days off. is that all these things over a legal case that was adjudicated is actually more reflection of the fan to lising of the political left. that than it is that anything unfold is going on in the american legal system. there is a movement in america, you know, the political left that sees things only through race. i mean, this is, this is the concept of critical race theory where race is critical to your theories and, and so by definition, this is the only way that they can see any issue in america. it, everything is about race map is now races. grammar is now races,

according to these people, to whom race is always critical to their theories. the global police organization, interpol to spark outrage by electing a new president accused of torture. arc made marcia allen icy, who was an emerald. he general, though those claims are being rejected, but his alleged victims are making their voices heard. this is a sad day for international justice and global policy. i don't know how the interpol members don't feel embarrassed about the choice they made. this election represents the beginning of a dangerous era with authoritarian regimes. now able to dictate international policy. allan depaula's are down for the appointment saying the part i mind unpaid role of a president is mostly to chair meetings i the organization maintains that it's politically neutral and respects human rights. although human rights group just agree, or they lobbied against his candidacy by describing the allegations of torture against u. e. security forces as credible and we heard from veteran human rights campaigner

. hit attach on the very, very serious allegations. and it is well known that the security services in the u, i. e, are not accountable. they do not respect human rights standards. there's a huge fear that arise, he would use that power to politicize the organization and to use it to track down the dissidents. and critics, a big problem is that into poll is an organization by the police, for the police. it is not transparent or countable. it's highly secretive. there are no poor mechanisms for public scrutiny or oversight. people insist that it's politically neutral, that it's doing a good job. but clearly the evidence is contrary. and right now, as we see with the issuing of red notices for the arrest of dissidents. critics and

human rights defenders around the world. clearly the system is failing, it needs reform. and thankfully, the appointments of major general, our racy, is motivating and increasing those calls for a full if you, if he has accused washington of spreading falsehoods about the country after the u . s. embassy warned of a high terra risk in the african nation in response, thousands rallied outside the american embassy, and i'd as abba announcing what they called an, a tackle net country sovereignty. they, they voiced our support for that government, which is currently waging a war again, separatists and the to gray region. since the conflict broke out a year ago that thousands dead and caused widespread salvation. the u. s. has partly blamed the ethiopian government accusing it of rights abuses. suspending security assistance and only for talks with a t gray people's liberation front. the protesters in the capital thing washington is making matters worse than some acute in the west of orchestrating the entire

conflict. made method is that the better news should hoss to revise his foreign policy august. they did their horn not beka, as well as the abbey at miss fisher. i'm here to protest against 40 natural scientists, which has have you been planned to discipline till the sofa? neat you a few to yoga? well, the meantime, i western nations according on both sides to deescalate. but the neutrality has been questioned. afterward leaked video where papers show diplomats expressing support for anti government forces. as audio correspondence, donald quota now explains as a bloody civil war, ravages ethiopia. many countries aren't really taking one side or another publicly, at least, washington for its part is calling for a diplomatic solution to the bloodshed. the agile parties to refrain from inflammatory bowel kennedy rat to make to his restrain respect, human rights law,

him in carrying maxes in protect civilians. the u. s. his actions though seem to be a lot different from its words that much became clear after resume call between former western diplomats and ty, gray, rebel leaders, which was leaked by journalists and no one there had much love for the ethiopian government. i couldn't agree more than you know, abby should step down. there should been all inclusive transition. government, not only was the former us assistant secretary of state for africa calling for the dissolution of a democratically elected government. she even went as far as to wish for a rebel victory held for to have military success fan soon. because it seems as if the situation is only becoming more drastic. just a few years ago, prime minister abbey ahmed was a favorite of the western governments. after all, he won the nobel peace prize in 2019 for helping and a decades long war with a richer ya. but things have changed. the zoom call diplomats seem to have more to

talk about with the countries former foreign minister who is now a representative of the tie gray people's liberation front. abbey is not listening . obasanjo has not been extraordinary helpful, very active. and so are there any other opportunities that you can see? the former e u ambassador to ethiopia in attendance also made it clear that even though they might be retired, their political influence is still in service. all of the attendance maintain contacts with a former employees just the other day. i was talking to the existing e u ambassador to ethiopia with a rebels not far away from the capital and a possible coo on the horizon. it makes you wonder, just how much western cloak and dagger diplomacy we just aren't hearing about. so this is not a one a single effort. this is a combined a propaganda because psychological warfare plus the military campaign on the ground are all in play right now. and i think their goal is regime change. now,

whether that happens or not, depends on what the european government does, what the dashboard does in united states. joe biden himself believes this, and i don't know, i don't really think he's given ward in unit minutes. saw it d. c, o be given all the conditions he's dealing with in the u. s. and around the world. but his people in his administration. ha, who want the t p l f. back in power? i'll ethiopia in the previous 10 years was leading economic economy in east africa . but i think you seeing the mood of ethiopian people, they will put up with sacrifices to make sure that the government, which they elected june and september was it lo, phone of 5 election, that they're elected a government. they will support, he will have to leave sacrifices or that. so just about wrapping up on this ours news cost here. what are t international? but we are just getting warmed up here at 1828 am on friday morning. here we are

back of the top of the hour with more of your worldwide headlines. ah ah ah suppose this was so form, these double membrane stretches which i like sacks, which capture push to the cytoplasm and then deliver them to water, the incinerator of the cell, the lies as of what degradation. so that's what we'll talk to. yes. mm mm. mm. ah,

hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the you is in the process of finalizing what is being called the strategic compass for security and defense. this is shorthand for what may become an e u. army. this is not a new idea, and there is no guarantee it will ever come about. is europe capable of defending itself in this competitive world? ah, cross sucking european security, i'm joined by my guess, michael maloof in washington. he is a former pentagon senior security policy analyst in london. we have under a walker. he has a political commentator in commerce and in edinburgh. we cross to john white, he is a writer and political commentator. i gentleman crosswalk, rules and effect. that means he can jump in any time you want and i always appreciate, let me go to my.
