thanksgiving turkey's gilbert prize shock. this week i made an inflationary crisis that many are blaming on the biden administration. ah, fly from moscow. this is our t. my name's you know, neil on 30 minutes of news and views start. now. let's indeed begin by bringing you some pictures that we received a short time ago from the russian emergency services of a rescuer who has been found alive after thursday's deadly mine explosion. in sight period, he's been brought to hospital. his survival has been called miraculous. the debt till has not been revised from 52 to 51 people with the operation ongoing as we want to for did. so let me share some great news while the risk of teams were

working in the mind, facing all the risks down there, one rescuer was found alive. he's one of our medics who was saving people right there. let's wish him health student has issued an award for the 6 rescuers, including the recovered person. the other 5 will receive pos, humorous awards. all this is nothing short of a miracle. one of the rescue workers who was presumed dead as of this morning, has unexpectedly turned up, alive, reported, leaving, coming out to the rescuers on his own. he was one of those 6 missing rescuers who were declared yesterday to have not made it out of the mind when the operations was, were for to a halt. now this is obviously giving hope to the relatives of the victims at as of this point, there are now $51.00 victims. ah, instead of 52, there was initially reported earlier this morning. but unfortunately, the authorities say that there's probably not much chance that they will find any

more survivors. this is wanted of a kind miracle. as a matter of fact, a v, a restaurant himself is right now in stable condition. however, it's important to know just how unusual the says, especially given the chaos and the devastation that was going on in that mine. a quick breakdown of what happened is basically that almost a full day ago at 9 am on thursday local time. there were reports of an explosion and smoke spreading throughout the mine. at that point, there were 283 people working there and most of them managed to survive. a one of the so i was actually spoke to us and describe the chaos of that situation. we pulled out the saw blade, then we heard a loud banged, and that was it. we couldn't see anything. there was gus everywhere. those who could drop to the floor and put on their self rescue devices. those who were able to came out, and those who couldn't, didn't. now, behind me is the mine where this all happened. we've been here all morning and

throughout the entire day, relatives of the victims have been pouring in at who 1st of all received the final word on the fate of their loved ones and pick up some personal belongings. things like keys or cars, us some clothes and what have you. obviously there were all the family members were all very distraught. these are the wives, the mothers daughters, the sons, close relatives of these miners who unfortunately died here. ah, now obviously people want answers at this points and a criminal investigation has been launched into at what led up to this tragic accident. and already there have been some arrests made of, namely the head of the mining organization, his deputy, as well as the person in charge of this particular mine. also, there were 2 safety inspectors arrested, who apparently carried out a safety inspection of this particular this exact mine just a week ago, a week before this tragic accident. now while that criminal investigation is still

ongoing, obviously people want answers and hopefully will receive more of them in the near future. however, right now the thoughts are with those who lost their loved ones in this incidence. and hopefully, maybe despite the unlikely and us of it that more survivors could actually turn up by will just have to wait for that. well, we can speak live now in the program to professor arnold dix. disaster investigator and barrister. you're very welcome to the program. is st lee right now? the rescue operation has been forced to be stalled, in terms of the general situation in such a disaster. just how difficult just how dangerous is mounting a recovery operation. a recovery operation in circumstances like this is extremely dangerous. it's extremely dangerous because in the 1st instance, the fact that the disasters occurred at all suggests that there's been

a failure in the emergency and in fact normal ventilation systems and then they, having bain and explosion, it means that many of the safety systems, a likely now to be in operable and i suspect certainly it's been, it's my experience that that's the sort of difficulty that these rescue is now facing on the one hand. and there's the possibility that people might be trapped in areas with a, which is still tangible. but on the other hand, the very real risk that rescue as themselves might be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. yeah, of course there's distraught relatives as well demanding that the bodies of their loved ones be immediately brought to the surface. but i think if you're going through their emergency services, say at least 3 days will be needed before that is actually possible from the technical point of view. what you foresee hampering this process. mine's like this. i mean this,

these minds very extensive. they complicated and they change, they not like underground spices that many of your viewers would be used to that essentially and change the mind develops in time. and so this changing time coupled with the disaster and then emergency services having to be so careful that their own people don't become casualties in the process of looking for as you've mentioned bodies. but i think more importantly, any survivors who still might be, you know, in an area, it's next extra. and it takes time because there's the tragedy that we, we've now experienced. but we don't want to, an even bigger tragedy. risking the lives of further the rescue personnel, you've got the toxic gas is minus 15 degrees celsius, said darkness. no,

there is. well, it's a difficult situation, but from what is actually known, professor, what do you make of the emergency response taken immediately after the devastation could, could anything have been done better? off? i'm only limited to what i've said you're reported. and typically in a mining accident when something like this happens, there, there is no simple solution. this is the worst nightmare of, of anybody who's involved with mining. they usually aren't other options when the ventilation systems being compromised, when you've had the explosions, when the systems are destroyed or severely damaged. and the options are very limited in, in some environment they can be emergency supplies. sometimes they called ox. so, minus, go to an arc and take refuge in them with limited supplies. in other mines there with different sorts of technologies which can provide fresh air for

a limited period of time. but this is a big, underground infrastructure, obviously severely damaged and extremely difficult, technically to establish when it's safe and just just to touch on on what relatives are waiting, of course. and that being told by authorities in maybe 3 days before people go done there again. and then of course, that's going to take time. the rescue operation itself to, to take place because of is not the biggest issue than me. thin gas is the car, carbon dioxide, because it's so large, that's the problem we have here in particular. yeah, well it's, that's right. the, the spice itself is where i lodge, you've got the methane gas, you've got the carbon monoxide, and also there's the risk that is made structural damage as well if there's been the explosions. so the emergency at the moment we're talking gas, but i'm not sure from the reports. i've heard whether there's also a structural issues in there as well. as the reports i read suggest in ventilation

shafts means this terrible. it's occurred in a ventilation shaft because that's a, a safety device in itself. and it does not surprise me. that emergency service is assigned 3 days to get in. they circumstances are not, it's not like on hollywood. you can't send emergency services in so day, so far with technology, even today's technology to getting there safely, area has to be made safe. it's a terrible situation. is that working all you really is? isn't it? as, as people relatives, friends, just wait for some glimmer of hope. they're aimed at siberia. thank you very much for coming in the program and sharing your expertise with as an investigator and disasters. professor arnold dick's from an over a new strain of cove. it has been identified this time in south africa, which could be far from and were infectious than the previous one. so the world

health organization has convened an emergency meeting. as you might expect to discuss potential risks. as a precaution, e u countries are not moving to restrict our trouble from southern africa following the u. kays elite. so far, the new variant hasn't been officially named since being detected. we do know in south africa, it's also been found in botswana and hong kong. scientists say it has an unusually high number of mutations on they have described to this quote, the worst so far. carrillo dmitri of head of the russian direct investment fund, which is overseeing the global distribution of the sputnik v vaccine. he spoke to my colleague rory sushi earlier and gave us his views on the new variant on the latest efforts in vaccine rule at find his to saying this a, this new variant in south africa is the worst one so far. admittedly, we have heard that before about previous mutations, should we be alarmed. january of course, has to be started, and we need to see how the shows as exists,

and lic seems like games in your area. but also we can really quickly adapt maxine to new variant if needed. so definitely sputnik we believe is the most efficient like seems about a different mutation so far and we need to start is a new variance justice. although in manufacturers needs a study of the swell, very important data, key model hungary, yesterday, which basically showed in the 1st hour comparison of 5 different vaccines in the world on 3800000 people. it shows that sputnik is the best vaccine in the world to protect against mortality from poverty and also joints of his mother. and that is the most efficient fiction in the world ah, against infection by foreman. it, is it alarming to you about the spiking coping numbers in europe when you, when you've got 70 to 80 percent of the population that vaccinated ultimately reaching that of hood immunity? well, definitely, and this is why another very important data point came from san marina's this week,

which shows that 6 to 8 month old mic like seen, is sufficient 80 percent. so this would mean holes immunity for a long time. whereas if you look at pfizer data, it shows that after 6 months, the advocacy is below 30 percent, and it pulls you in the middle of 20 percent one month eat. and we see that manuals of promises. emma and the machines can really not come to fruition, and we believe that different countries have kept portfolio different vaccines. we see that monopoly walls and we're in a machine in europe failed to protect europe. so it shouldn't be about m or in a monopoly. it should be about or to fully of different extent acknowledges include in russian machines, chinese vaccines, other vaccines from britain astrazeneca is very good. and all this report folio different vaccines. can countries such a thumb marine on big countries, print things themselves. french officials have scrap talks with the british governments after being outraged not

a letter from the prime minister parish johnson. he called for migrants who crossed the english channel to be sent back to france. it follows witness this tragic incident in which $27.00 people drawing while attempting the perilous journey in an inflatable dinging r t. charlotte gibbons, he picks up the story. the storm clouds are gathering here at, with relations between the 2 nations that we're already on tenterhooks. we've seen spats all through 2021 over so many different issues. but the fact that frances interior ministers essentially bart is u. k counterpart. that's pretty patel from going to this meeting over the weekend must come as a bit of a sucker punch. now this is a meeting that's due to take place still, but this time with just francis e you allies in the neighbors which will discuss the migrant crisis following that tragedy early this week in which 27 people lost their lives. that was the worst

at record of loss of life on the english channel since reco it's began and it really provoked a lot of soul searching as to what can be done to improve the situation. now a dis, inviting. pretty patel is this pretty strong move that france is made now that comes off to that letter that boris johnson published on his a social media page on twitter late last night. this was a letter that was directed to president mack on, and apparently gerard domain on the interior minister. france was unhappy that this was one, made public and described that as being apparently inadmissible. now, in that letter, boris johnson called for a number of things he was calling for greater cooperation between the 2 nations. what it seems he's going to get is not that some of the things he suggested was that a british police should come on to french soil and help patrol the borders of northern france. something that the french have said no known to many times already. and

that france should take back any migrants that land on the u. k. i propose that we put in place of bi lateral re admissions agreement to allow all illegal migrants who cross the channel to be returned this remarks, a serious decline in the relations already. relations were so low, but if you didn't think that they could get any worse, you would be wrong because this really is something pretty incredible. now, france has accused the u. k. of been too attractive for migrants. it says that is the problem. it says that the, the black market, the cash in hand type available jobs that a migrant could pick up in u. k. mean that the u. k is incredibly attractive. it's also talked about the process of asylum seeking in the u. k. because when somebody makes an application, they could get up to 40 pounds a week, they could get free accommodation. and this is also seen as a way of murdering migrants to come. now for the you case part, it says it's trying to tighten up its rules at the moment. it's currently

discussing a bill that would see those who apply for asylum. after reaching the u. k. looked on less fav lobby if they entered the country illegally. despite the fact that that is being disgust some say it's just simply not enough of what they want to try and determine migrants from crossing is a repeal of the human rights act. the leader of the house has already mentioned the board as bill, but i fear that we won't be able to gain back full control of our immigration asylum policy unless we scrub the human rights act from the you case, paul, they say that frances, essentially doing a goes slower operation that is not doing enough to stop boots from leaving places like dunkirk and cali. and it says that is in spite over the issues that the 2 countries have had over the last year or so in this post breaks it period. now when we look at the situation in the u. k, at the moment, asylum claims a said to be a 20 year high,

we know that more than 25000 individuals have made that crossing from france and landed in the u. k. that's this year alone. and that is 3 times higher than the total number for 2020. so this really has ramped up significantly in the last 11 months. now the front says it is doing all that it can, but it's just physically impossible to monitor the entire coastline of the north of the country. and while they have been caused for many, for more cooperation between france and the u. k. as a result of that tragedy early this week, that is now unlikely to be the case. and what we're seeing now is 2 countries to standoff. let's say taking 2 african out a busy news day fury over a recent military coup and sit is not letting up despite the army, reinstating the us the prime minister and sunday there's been constant on rest. ortiz, senior correspondent, morocco, see if i list report from

a rooftop in the suit in these capital. well, these are the traditional thursday demonstrations here. so, darling, our cartoon the crowd, these shinla thousands. we had seen many small columns forming in various neighborhoods 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 want 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 weed, if you, with this agreement between hum dog and moran and dis give liggett timothy and legal the situation for a coup. weird if you'll, if we want comp will not complete civil society and complete civil government that good animal body. but we are here to re emphasize the revolutions demands,

which are freedom, democracy, and the spirits of the revolution or change needs to happen in this country. in a way that evokes the noble uncompromising september revolution, which sorta demands to be met no matter the cost my, my getting a safe, what does it, why getting actually widely haul, hug, fly. yeah, he get something good and we all know that bad. it's not let this be wine handout of glass tear gas out, or something of the sort had been slide here, but we haven't seen any police there also ties burning are on the road. that is also in a traditional part of these protests whereby brutus to set them a lighted major intersections, they, they barricades 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 organizes at poor poor. they're also much

smaller than we had seen earlier. many people who are given up, many 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 who for a 1000000 people that come out the streets of hot boom to condemn last month, q a q by the military. and that also could them the civilian, the, the prime minister. i'm don't 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. but it was far from a typical national holiday walk with an ongoing pandemic and inflation and

a 3 decade high looking at how soaring prices have affected the celebrations yourself. taylor 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 slight grasp of yes, you prices have donna. yes. they have probably why coming 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 pop for this year's 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 shorten ideas where to buy things your 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, um, 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 and historic shortage of drivers. appreciate biden. all those who this went to were probably see their energy bills junk by up to 50 percent. all those who might have noticed 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 as common has got

a handle on inflation. the energy secretary knows has stopped. so don't worry how many barrels of oil the u. s. consume per day. i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really missile. wonder that biden's piney a 2024. we run. if you want to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods a had risen of price the last year, you could have hotdogs, she's lettuce and cookies. so even beyond the economic and financial effects of inflation in places draw individual style to action as 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 to observe some sort of fiscal. busy and monitor sobriety and le 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 there 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 platforms passed while they st. ok, and a side note to that story, a tasty one at that, the wife, how it sounds, reveal what joe biden himself, a for thanksgiving on the menu was time roasted turkey, gran mom, jacob, savory stuffing and an impressive array of 4 deserts, including pumpkin pie, and chocolate chip ice cream. so no low cost turkey substitutes. for the commander in chief, you'll be pleased to hear the russian republic of south her son has become the country's 1st reaching to require coven immunity, passes on public transport. the moves been met by some local resistance, dozens of people gathered in the regional capital chasm last night, urging the authorities to scrub than you restrictions. locals now have to present

a q r code showing vaccination, or cobit recovery before voting a bus or train. so far in russia, this only applies to tell her son, it's up to each region to decide on its own routes. eager to adela for portion are from chasm. we're in a region that has some of the strictest anti cove and measures in place and all of russia, cafes and bars have to shut down at 11 p. m. that's as visitors to get in after show a special q r code showing that they're immune to cov 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 with this with the work with walker, but it will not be a problem with, with the winning ones. so on average, across russia,

some 50 percent of its population has been immunized against coven 19. but this republic, the republic of toughest on, 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 the measures i'm calling to live with no fellow transitional, it's become very hard. the pressure on the conduct has, has doubled. the 1st i conduct to must check the q r code and only then give a ticket, of course, arouse and scandals because of this, and there are cases of physical assault school buses, and trams have been turned into health us only zones. the unvaccinated have been left in a state of ultimate uncertainty. so among those people who did not get the vaccine in time or 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 online 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. oh, so 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 and they can't get to work. and taking a taxi's extremely pricey. i picked up a woman the other day. she had to pay a $1000.00 roubles to get to work. this is a very high price focus. i have a received a job yourself. yes. and vaccinated. what do i do usually give a lift to the same people? no. each time there is a different person. i feel sad for them some trying to say they're able to take the elderly to hospital. and sometimes there are people who can't take their kids to hospital 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. if they're still up. so i think this should be a universal covert vaccine for the whole world. it doesn't matter what it's called . the idea is our bill. it's charles washington or new york with his vaccine and the corresponding q r code. good. now if i get vaccinated hearing cousin, i will receive a q r cuz it's only valid in russia and i won't be able to go abroad with it. if the w h o registers the sputnik the jap, would you agree to get it? well, why not? if the certificates i guess is valid worldwide, i usually go to work on public transport, but on monday i left home and couldn't go anywhere. i had to take a taxi and the prices were really high. my car wasn't really being used, so i decided if there are people struggling, why not help someone who really needs it? but not everyone is excited about the idea of this makeshift anti vax taxi service .
