on line, hate campaigns. yeah. i was supposed to be dangerous man. mm hm. the headlines here, 119 international, a new cobit straight in south africa over is sparking global panic, prompting nations to shut down and travel with that region. a cases are already spreading, though with the latest detected in israel and belgium. the developers of sputnik v prepared a test of the russian shot against the new mutation. here are naughty in the program. we hear from the hungarian foreign minister about his own country's vaccine policy and the need to put lives above politics. there are many countries and considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political order or ideological nature. you know, it's about liable to people. well, i didn't do anything special. i simply battled for my life. every post in my

situation would have done this, say the 1st words of a rescuer who was found a lie even a siberian coal mine after being presumed dead. a criminal probe has now been opened into thursday's explosion, which claimed more than 50 lives. ah, good morning from moscow. lots of stories on this. not that i program for you today . this is auntie international. the us and canada have joined the e. u in holding ed travel to southern africa after the discovery of a highly infectious new cobit strain, the so called o may kronen buried, has already spreading vo with israel in belgium, among the latest bridge, or to cases a reporting on how europe is responding to this latest strain ortiz charlotte open sky. will this super mutant strain of covey it has been

described as being more transmissible than delta. and that has really ramped up fears. it's been reported that it's already been found on the european continent in belgium that is from a sample that was taken from a young woman who said to have not been anywhere near the south of the african continent. she had indeed been to egypt and to turkey, and it's also said that she was unvaccinated. e mclaughlin, who have been confirmed case of this parent, is someone who came from abroad. this price was tested on november 22nd. he was not vaccinated and had no prior infection, so this case has been observed and confirmed. but i want to repeat that it is a suspicious fair and we don't know if it's a very dangerous one. as a result of this, in new countries on out scrambling to close their air space to a number of countries in the south of africa. that's because the super mutant

strain has been found in several countries there. but it could already be too late, as that case in belgium shows now not much is known about this particular mutation, but experts are really sounding the alarm over what they say the potential properties of it could be. and it's the fact that it's such a heavy mutation just give you an example. experts in the u. k. have described this as being so mutated that it is barely recognizable when it compared to the original strain of covey. 19. and as a result of that, we have seen devastation across the world over the last 18 months or so. the european commission president is urging other countries to take heed and to also close their space. the european commission has today proposed to member states to activate the emergency brake on travel from countries in southern african and other

countries affected to limit the spread of the new variant. now the u. k was one of the countries that 1st decided to put that ban in place of flights coming at to and from those 6 countries in africa are. but it has said that that list could be expanded in the next few days with more more countries being put back on the red. less than that could cause so many fears that yet again, travel plans as we head into the holy sea season will be thwarted just as they were back in 2020. now this also comes at a time when there is a 5th wave of the pandemic hitting the european continent so much so that countries are putting new restrictions back in place. we've already seen partial locked downs and stands in some countries like in austria and in the netherlands. and even here in france earlier this week, the french health minister saying that from the middle of january, people will have to have a 3rd job for cove at 19 of vaccine if they don't,

than their health passed to allow them access to every day. things like cafes and restaurants will no longer be valid. but the real concern here is if those experts are right that this mutation is so far removed from the original covert 19 variant will the vaccines that have already been creative, be enough? will they even be effective, or as many fair will they just beat totally ineffective against this strain? if that's the case, it's going to leave the politicians scratching their heads again. and scientists having to go back to the drawing board. but the question many of us are now asking when will this? and scientists say the new variant has an unusually high number of mutations. although right now there is no evidence whatsoever that is more deadly than previous strains. and we spoke with biologists cosentino severino, who explain why it may be cause for a law. if this variant indeed is proficient,

more proficient than delta and can substitute delta, then it's not the question of if the question of when it's very clear that this has been strain the emerged in the probably single individual which had a case of long code, it probably was this preston mune system where the you varian had gradually accumulated multiple mutations well being in the single person. and then was released in the environment and started talking. you individuals, what they can do. it's mostly just slow down the distribution global distribution of you very. and what will happen, whether they are restrictions when germany is report, we're continuing to see a surgeon cobra infections with a new daily record of 76000. and the health minister says it's vital to keep the new coping strain out of the country if possible. the situation is more dramatic

than anything we've experienced during the pandemic. so far. our goal has to be to prevent this varian from entering to the best of our ability. the last thing we need in this situation is a new variance been introduced. meanwhile, the german air force is being called in to help transfer covey patients from overwhelmed hospitals. so far to military jets have been set aside for this. and we heard from infectious disease export class dieters aster off. he says that with a new strain, all options could be on the table. when you buy under this new varian spreads quickly, and the vaccines we have now stopped working there worried about situation. people who already are not clay, it may not be protected, but we have to wait and see if that worst case scenario becomes the case. maybe we'll be lucky on the vaccines will also work against this mutation at the moment. we don't know enough about it. there isn't a p c r t s for yet, but we have to be cautious. a sort of the virus is changing all the time. on several mutations of occurred, viruses multiplying a few 1000 times

a day. errors occur in the replication and a new virus emerges. it's not unusual and going up every day. so plenty of questions over out of the alma kron very in terms of whether the panic is actually warranted on our website right now. we haven't explained that everything from spike proteins to the stock market. cutoff details waiting for your right now at auto dot com. well, i've actually produces already trying to figure out whether they're drugs will work against this new on their chrome very. and here in russia, the head of the gun malaya institute behind the sport and agree shot says testing will start as soon as the institute has a sample of the new drain. but so far they seem pretty optimistic. and then hungary, for now, where the russian job has been widely adopted. a study has found that it is effective against all of the earlier covariance and compared to the alternative vaccines. it was most successful, it preventing, hospitalization and death. well, budapest is now hoping local production of sputnik v will start next year. although

the drug, of course is still awaiting approval from the regulator, the hungarian, a foreign minister, peter c. r t o. a spoke to ortiz, oaks on boy about the need to de politicize the issue. i really don't find the verse to describe how i feel about the fact that there are still many countries. considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political or, or ideological nature, you know, it's about the lives of the people we knew in the lives of the people. what is it for them as far as the political? it's whether a political and ideological debate, i'm very frustrated about that. to be honest. and i tell you why europe on the regulation speaks very clearly about how way vaccine can be approved. on the $33.00 of the 2 ways 1st by the european madison agency, which is a normal, let's say business of usual way of approving gave action. but

a european regulation says that in case of the state of emergency, this one, the national regulators, are allowed to approve of action is also on a temporary basis before we started to use both scrutiny far from china. the national regulator of ours has approved the use of both, which means that the use of scrutiny in hungary is being based on a european regulation. and that's why to be honest, we don't understand why it is not being respected by the by the other member states . whenever i talk to western european colleagues on my western european colleagues of mine between for i, they always tell me that they know that the russian found defect performance can be spoken about in very highly. and i said it 1st the best. of course it works well, hungary and experts have proved that and regardless of the fact that privately, they all say that it goes to public by act totally differently.

i have the luxury to be in this position for more than 7 years now. so i clearly remember who said was 56 years ago, and i remember the way we were really, really attacked. and we were considering very no very hostile way, very rude expressions were used on us. and those who treated us in a very rude way. they are now giving, basically a standing ovation to those who act similarly as we acted back in 2015. what do you think has changed in europe on that issue over the last 5 years? you know, i think there's a beekeeper accuracy. there might be some comments which, which sound to be different compared to what has been said since 2015 about the essence. but the essence of the european migration policy remained unchanged unfortunately. and if you look at the document or the statement or the founding

document of the, of the new german government coalition, you will see that this extremely pro migration extremely to men have already testified in court over thursday's coal mine blocked in siberia, which claimed $51.00 lives and the director of the mine and the chief technical inspect of a rush has came out of a region, have both denied violating safety protocols. they are among the 5 people arrested and charged over this tragedy. earlier, president, putin ordered russian prosecutors to establish the cause of the blas to avoid a repeat of such tragedies. the death toll was only revised downwards off to one rescue. it was miraculously found alive. he described what happened. don't go teach alexander how do you feel? i'm doing great, lucy, are you able to see better now? yeah, better what you see you soon where all bursting with pride that it all went well? you're looking for. well,

i didn't do anything special. i simply battled for my life. no mortal, every post in my situation would have done the same. well, 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, that 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 that this is wanted of a kind miracle. as a matter of fact, the rest to himself is right now in stable condition. however,

it's important to know just how unusual to says, especially given the chaos and the devastation that was going on in that my. 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 over 50 dead out the horrific mine explosion inside barea 8 30 am november the 25th the mind with 285 people inside filled with smoke. after a methane explosion, a with 9 am november 25th accusation and rescue work starts reports of 1st casualties authorities and now there is no contact with at least 37 people. 5 pm,

november the 25th rescue operation suspended in mid bears. if possible, explosion with over 30 mine is still missing. rescue a say there's not much hope left because it's minus have only 4 hours of oxygen supply. 10 pm, november the 25th group of rescue workers fails to come up after the threat of explosion. latent 3 of them were found day. oh, not on friday. 8 am familiar with 3 15 pm, november the 26th. a presumed dead rescue work came out on his own raising hope among desperate families of mine, as it is not the 1st deadly accident in this mine with another maintain explosion, claiming 13 lives in 2004. the my director and 2 others arrested over safety,

cravings, i 9 is to midland lee just studio list. you go to school on a date with order about our help are through the program here. what auto international filter. com that was on the eco activists seriously. targeting corporate joined amazon with a wave of black friday strikes and rally is actually happening a whole around the world. that story and more we're back in just a month with the postal service delivers a $155000000000.00 pieces of mail every year. approximately 40 percent of the world's mail right now. the us postal service is in the fight of its life to survey the introduction bad financial shape. now facing default, the postal service is a cash cow and there was a way to pull money out of the postal service to put into

a federal budget. there was a mandate that you're bringing $100000.00, new revenue every month. the nature of privatization in the us postal service is very much hidden from public view. it's privatization from the inside out. that's a . 7 big business in money, it's not about the public and given them the service that they deserve. it's not about quality train workers. it's about with an old hungarian proverb says you can't put everything under one hat. it means that the same rules can't be applied to every one. and yet this is what view to pass, signed up to when it entered the european union in 2004. today hungry is accused of

all possible sins against democracy. now does the or by and government feel about its future and place and european family ah, so driven by drink shaped banks, concur some of those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, cord into the 2nd half of your stuff that

a program we go here. we are now. it's he and black friday was supposed to bring the mega profits to the wells biggest rita amazon. but across europe, in the us, the event was over shadowed by protests over the company's treatment of workers and the environment. caliber reports from the heart of the demonstrations in new york. i. well, we're here on 5th avenue and manhattan outside of the building where jeff bezos owns 4 floors of luxury apartments and right out here. as you can see, we're seeing representatives of labor unions and progressive community activist groups who are assembling to demand the recognition of the union at the amazon warehouses now among the crowd, our amazon workers allies of the labor movement, progressive activists, et cetera. all highlighting the conditions of the amazon warehouses on demanding better treatment for the workers. here is some of what was in the call made for

actions against jeff bezos on black friday. what is traditionally a top shopping holiday in the united states? the pandemic has exposed how amazon place is profits, head of work, as society and our planet amazon takes too much and gives back to little. they make amazon pay coalition is demanding higher wages for amazon's employees. an end to the workers surveillance policies, extended sick leave and improvement of anti coven measures, an end to casual employment status and representation for the union. and they want amazon as well as it ceo jeff bezos to pay their fair share and taxes. now, last year on black friday, there were massive protests targeting amazon around the world. and this year continued that tradition, we saw actions in the united kingdom actions and latin america actions in bangladesh and many parts of the world targeting jeff bezos and amazon,

highlighting the treatment of the workers and demanding union representation. now some of the protesters here today said that this is a global movement. we chose this day because we are following in the footsteps of what happened last year. and it proved to be the right thing to do because we're here today. but when we woke up, the workers in europe are already blocking us warehouses in england. there are actions all over the globe. and this, this is a massive movement against greedy capitalist like basis last years as, as well as the 2019 were pretty big. but this year may be the biggest, i me today, you know, amazon workers in south africa walked off the job and was all workers in brazil and, and mexico walked off the job. so it's quite a gathering our seeing voices from the labor movement from climate change activists supporting groups. progressive organizations. quite a gathering here on 5th avenue in manhattan, kayla marvin archie, new york,

amazon issued a statement in advance of the protests defending its environmental record and sank . it provides safe working conditions and great benefits for all of its staff. although a few of them disagree with that. can you describe the conditions and the amazon warehouses? yeah, absolutely. they are brutal, especially around the holiday season. they work 10 to 12 hours would a extra day now. mandatory extra time for the next 6 weeks, $6.00 to $8.00 weeks. oh, you know, work is going to be working 55 plus hours just to fulfill packages for christmas in holidays. so these warehouses are over a 1000000 square feet. so they walk, plus the 10 miles a day, they only feed all that all the, all the time on. there's no real bathroom breaks because if they pick away from the talking to station of that time of task and making absolutely b 5 for that. so they're subjected to, you know, long days of no ris, minimum graph and breaks minimum break time in the working conditions that continue

to get worse. i think it survives sad and ready bad. and especially when happening in the last 2 years in this country, people are suffering, especially the working class. jeopardy is a symbol of this country. but that county which is not based on the humanity, was based on the greed, jeff bezos. and just in a minute is earning what amazon workers would dream of working in hours and hours and days. so we have to really focus on how they have so much money, so much control of markets and ability to drag down the wages. the washington post is receiving flack on line for a tweet suggesting that a deadly car ramming in wisconsin last sunday was caused by the vehicle not by the driver. we can show you the now deleted tweeter refers to the tragedy caused by an s u v. it fails to mention make any mention i should say that the driver had been arrested and charged with 5 counts of 1st degree homicide. the incident killed 6

people including an 8 year old child, an injured over 60. that's according to the charges. the suspect is darrell brooks . he was previously convicted on sex if who's in charge with domestic violence. he also so have time for candidates possession. it's been reported he shared pro, hitler means and post on line calling for violence against white people. the washing device was also ridiculed for failing to mentioned that the suspect well, to do is mentioned that of the soft battery from the charges in his tweet have a look at this. so why didn't they said that the canoe should tragedy was caused by an a r 15 caused by an s u. v. events unfolded notice on the left seeks to cover for black criminals, but depriving them of human agency. so the washington post said that the walk is at her attack was caused by an s u v. i guess when my mother died on 911, it was the plains fault as the assume he'd been charged when are we doing? have common sense?

s. u v. laws of media outlets were also lam bastard for calling. what happened? a crash will. archie is contributor and political comment. had a lauren chen gave us perspective on this. i think there's absolutely evidence that the western media is downplaying to walk a shot tack, especially when we consider their reporting of the cal written how shooting. i think the difference in coverage frankly comes from the fact that the walk a shaw attack cannot be used for political points by the mainstream media or by the left and those 2 things are increasingly synonymous. unfortunately, if we look at the cow rittenhouse attack, there was the narrative being painted that there were violent. trump supporters were going out and attacking gentle a peaceful protesters who simply wanted racial racial equality. and we saw something similar with the january 6th event. the narrative was being painted that was that there were violent right wing extremists who are intent on overthrowing the government. we saw something similar in charlottesville. there was actually a woman who was killed as a result of a car ploughing into

a crowd of people. and for months, if not still currently the mainstream media painted that as a terrible terrorist attack, that was the result of political extremism. if we look at the numbers, the washer attack is deadlier than any of those incidents that i've previously mentioned. 6 people have died. dozens more injured yet because the attacker is a black male who we see from social media post actually had sympathy for black lives matter. there's not really many ways that the media can spin this in order to make the left look good, or to exert more power for a left wing ideas. and therefore they've instead decided to just bury it completely . at this point, it's almost a cliche to ask people, can you imagine if the roles were reversed? but if the washer driver had, in fact, been white and he had injured 60 some black people and killed 6 of them, this would be international news. it would be news for months. it would be talked about for years. but it's quite the heated debate on that story right now. if you click on auto dot com and go to the op ed section. well,

thanks for joining us for your saturday stories. more to come when we return in about half an hour. ah, with us dollar reserve currents in the days are numbered there. those even the big going community that held our hope that somehow the us dollar well remain on the world stage. but as hillary clinton, her sound points out, the coin is essentially undermining or destroying the us dollar because the us dollar can't hold it's purchasing power because it's via money and no fee of money over the past 300 years has ever escaped trading to 0. with

time after that, senior watching, going underground in another week of u. k. u. s. a. you nation armed? saudi arabian asked strikes on the poorest country in the middle east. yemen today, meanwhile, is 48 hours ahead of the 74th anniversary of the united nations partition plan for palestine that arguably capitalized so much bloodshed, and population displacements. as the u. n continues to struggle to deal with the most important issues over time, from climate change to monopoly power. i'm joined now from geneva by professor how for de zayus. he was the 1st you an independent expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order. an author of building adjust,

wildwood. alfred, welcome to going underground. again. the book is a myriad of issues. i mean, some might say it should be embalmed in the new york headquarters. i mean, let's just begin though, with a question that you know before before we live in a society where a book, the games to save every, every human being alive on, on the planet before it's given dual ambassador, the u. n. is a mandatory requirement. can you understand why people don't trust to the united nations today? the united nations is a great idea and if it didn't exist, we would have to create it. now, of course, it's $193.00 states and it's not until you would that list and it's not monkey movie. i mean the organization is the state. and anything that is human is of course, in a way is functional. it's in

a way of corrupted and you know, way i, jack and the united nation does very good things. i and i plan, especially all 3 work done by the world health organization and the international labor office and the world intellectual property organization. but of course, those highly political issues are, what does the security council do to preserve the piece that is actually the principal on the united nations daughter, the commitment to human rights, a commitment to the right to the development in all of those areas. we are. 1 limping, and we're limping badly. and of course human rights and we have the standards. i mean, the norms are there that mechanisms are, they are what we don't have is. and for the special rockwell curse of the human

rights council, they are like.
