ah, ah, this our is headline stories anew. cobit strain in southern africa, sparks global panic prompting countries to shut to don earth, travel with the region. the variance is already spreading globally, though with germany. the latest nation to reports a suspected case. the developers of sputnik, we are preparing to test the russian shot against this new mutation. we hear from the hungarian foreign minister about his own country's vaccine policy and the need to put lives a above politics. there are too many countries. i'm considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political or dot r idle, logical nature. you know, it's about liable to people in, well, i didn't do anything special. i simply battled for my life. every post in my situation would have done the same. the brain, 1st words of a rescue or

a who was found alive and a siberian coal mine after being presumed dead. a criminal probe has not been opened into thursday's explosion, which day more than 15. ah, wherever you're counting the program from today. welcome to law school into the news hour on alrighty. this hours chop story. the us and canada have joined the e. u in holding flights from 6 southern african nations after this coverage of what's been described as a highly infectious new cobit straight in johannesburg, the new restrictions have left her a passenger scrambling to get out. if i can get on board now, i'll have to be an employee here waiting to pay over dessert their thing. but on the other hand, always because i'm of you various thought on the hall,

we gonna keep looking down every time we want you very, i'm just gonna do one going to the door and tell you it is not for fear of heartbreaking people. i devastated just before christmas, mom really said yes, some are lucky, but for many people at the airport it's just too late. airlines help council flights from south africa to the u. k. for instance, ahead of the approaching deadline, though flights to some other western countries including the u. s. they are continuing until monday, reporting now and europe's response to the new coven variant here charlotte davinsky in paris. will this super mutant strain of covey it has been described as being more transmissible than delta that has really ramped up phase? 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 key. i'm at knocking rap on confirm. case of this variant is someone who came from abroad. this person 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 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 cove at 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 and 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 towns in some countries, like in austria and in the netherlands, and even here in france. early this week, the french health minister saying that from the middle of january, people will have to have a food job for cobit 19 of vaccine if they don't, than the health pass to allow them access to everyday. 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 covey. 19 variant will,

the vaccines that are all ready being creative, be enough? will they even be effective, or as many fear will they just be 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 base? and charlotte mentioned there, scientists say the new variance has an unusually high number of mutations. although there's so far new evidence that it's more deadly or the previous strains. an important aspect, i, russian biologist told us why though it's raising along if this very and indeed is proficient, more proficient and delta and can substitute delta then it's not the question of if, but the question of when it's very clear that this has been strained up emerged in

probably single individual which had a case of long code. it probably was a suppressed immune system where the variance had gradually accumulated multiple mutations well being in a single person. and then was released in the environment and started talking. you individuals, what they can do is just slow down on the distribution global distribution of you very young to happen. whether they are restrictions not. and just to focus on one nation germany, it's continuing to see a surgeon coven infections with a new daily record of $76000.00 plus cases on the situation has been compounded by the army kron variant. according to a government minister, one likely case has already been detected in germany. several mutations typical of alma crohn, were found last night and travel from south africa. so there is a high level of suspicion and the person has been isolated at home. we're still

waiting for the complete sequencing. meanwhile, the german air force is being called in to help transfer cobit patients from overwhelmed hospitals so far to military chance been set aside to assist. we heard from an infectious disease expert who sees up with the new strain. they're already, all options are on the tip. when you buy this new varian spreads quickly on 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. 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. is sort of the virus is changing all the time. and several mutations have occurred. the virus is a multiplying a few 1000 times a day. errors occur in the replication and a new virus emerges. it's not unusual and going up in every day. yes,

so there's still plenty of uncertainty over the, on a chrome variance on whether the panic is warranted on our website. we've got to explain or taking you through everything from spike proteins to the stock market. sell it to r t dot com. like seen producers are already trying to figure out whether their drugs will work against the on a chrome variant in russia, the head of the gun malaya institute, which is behind the sputnik the shot. so he's testing will start as soon as the institute has a sample of the new strain, but so farther optimistic. meanwhile, in hungry where they, russian job has been widely adopted. day studies find that it's effective against all earlier covariance and compared to the alternative vaccines. it was more successful that preventing hospitalization on depth, that a pest is now hoping local projectionists, but then we will start next year. although the drug is still waiting approval from the regulator on gary and foreign minister peter c. r 2 has been speaking to our

team, ux, and that 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 your appeal, the regulation speaks very clearly about hallway vaccine, can be approved on the territory of 2 ways. first, by the european madison agency, which is a normal, let's say, business of usual way of approving a vacuum. but a european regulation says that in case of the state of emergency, this one,

the national regulators, are allowed to approve of axioms. also on a temporary basis before we started to use both scrutiny casino 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 vest, or you can call us on line between for i, they always tell me that they know that the russian scientific performance can be spoken about all in very highly. and i said, look, it 1st the best, of course it works well. hungary and experts have approve that. and regardless of the fact that privately, they all say that when it goes to public, they act totally differently. i have the luxury to be in this position

for more than 7 years now. so i clearly remember who said what 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 enough. 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 big hypocrisy. 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 feel i had in the program,

workers and eco activists target their corporate giant amazon with a wave of luck, friday strikes and rallies. we picked on up story for you in 90 seconds and country . ah ah ah mm

ah us dollars old reserve currency. the days are numbered now they're those even the big line community that held. i hope that somehow the u. s. dollar well remain on the world stage. but as hillary clinton herself points out, the coin is essentially undermining or destroying the u. s. dollar, because the u. s. dollar can't hold its purchasing power because it's via money and healthy out money over the past 300 years has ever escape trading to 0. ah, just approaching a quarter of an hour into the program. welcome back. a russian court, tennis reminded 5 suspects in custody for a period of 2 months following thursday's deadly coal mine blast the men, 3 monitors and 2 inspectors of been charged with violating safety protocols. all of

them have denied wrong doing, leading up to the underground methane explosion in the camera of a region which came the lives of 51 people. the head of the mind section where the blast occurred, insist he had received no prior complaints from stuff. the death toll was early a revised onwards after a rescuer who had been presumed dead managed to get out of the mind. his survival was described as a miracle by the emergency service cheap working at the sight. local miners, though, have lost hope of finding any more survivors refusing to shunned room for the last chance to get out was with the rescuer to survived. don't wait for the rest. got goodness, go ahead, sir. nobody could have survived as long as this, especially because oxygen is now gradually being replaced by methane. i have no idea how one man managed to survive. how can one predict such a blast? there's no mining without gas. only more ventilation and more checks will help. for

you, others before, no cold, no money, everyone is trying to fulfill the plan and earn something if the ventilation services are responsible for checking the guest levels in the mines. 18 years ago when i witnessed the mind last, the shaft was poorly ventilated. a specialist has to come and check all that needs to be checked on it, but that time worked started straight away and a significant update this saturday, the rescue operation has no resumed after being halted due to fears of further explosions for a number of days. the camera via governor se caution. it's now the priority mirror and the concern as to we desperately want to get everyone out on the surface. we are doing all we can, but without risking the lives of our rescuers. we have no right to have more men dead. when the 1st group of rescuers rushed into the mind right after the blast it was justified. now it's not. but so everything we do must be 1st of all safe autumn

. the miners job is one of the most dangerous in the world, but if a rescuer has to go in the danger is multiplied. an incredibly tough decision, isn't it? earlier, while rescuers were unable to access the mind, desperate families were left waiting for news at the entrance, holding on to really any glimmer of hope you have got. my son is down there in the mine. as his mother, i feel that he is alive without some hope. when one metal was found alive, you see if that man spend a day down there and survived, it means it's possible to survive. but we are told people die in 2 or 3 hours due to lack of air monitor under the rubble. they are already counted. his dad just like that. matt has survived. so it's been 3 days since the explosion at the lift. coal, mine and emergency services are working around the clock trying to secure the mine shaft. also relative, have been coming and going to the mind. first of all,

get the final word on the face of their loved one and pick up personal belongings. ashley who just saw several of those women who husband and son are full trapped in there. at this point presume said, well, obviously their roses are varied and fraud and they still haven't lost hope that their loved ones might still be alive. and that whole reason, we only been fueled by the recent lack of recovery of one of the rescuers were presumed dead, but unexpectedly turned up alive. the 51 year old alexander's progress and pious de, trapped inside the mind. and virtually nobody thought that he had any chance of surviving, but nevertheless, he somehow miraculously came to the rescue workers himself. and here was his 1st interview after being rescued. alexander, how do you feel? i'm doing great. will surely are you able to see better now? yeah,

which is where all bursting with pride that it all went well. young. well, i didn't do anything special. i simply battle for my life. every person in my situation would have done this. same doctors say that he is in a shock, and he has suffered some hypothermia and smoking whole ation. but nevertheless, his condition seems to be stable and he is expected to make a full recovery and returns his wife and son, who frankly, must have gone through quite the emotional rollercoaster. first they learned that their husband and father was dead and then somehow miraculously, he came out alive. but unfortunately for the rest of the people trapped inside the blind doesn't seem that they there's any chance of arrived. ultimately, the tragedy took the lives of 51 people, including 5 rescue workers, and many people are now wondering how this could have happened in the 1st place. president putin has ordered authorities to get to the bottom of what happened and

to figure out who was responsible. he also commented that these measures should be put into place should not be reactionary. and instead, more preventative measures should be in place and should have been in place while a criminal investigation has already been launched. and 5 people have already been to cain, the director of the mining company, his deputy, as well as the person in charge of the fashion they might have been detained on suspicions of violating safety procedures on a hazardous production facility. also to safety inspectors have been detained on suspicion of faking safety. inspection of this exact mine just a week before this horrific explosion. now apparently there were a lot of issues plating the mine and all the minors apparently knew about them and reported them to the higher ups, which apparently i haven't done that much to make this work safe. i. here's one of one of the relatives of the miners has said, i wonder if i remember my brother in law telling me about

a missing program in the mine and the instances of a gas build up. anton told me that when the level of me saying went off the scale and all work ground to a halt. but sometimes despite this, there was a forbidden level of methane. and even though it wasn't that high, the miners still had to work. they even had to resort to various methods to decrease the level indicators in order to get work done. he occasionally let his former head know about the situation. he wondered how he could work in such circumstances. the minds management was aware of what was going on. while the investigation will be taking all of these reports into accounts in their attempts to find anybody and everybody who was responsible or might have had a hand in this blatant violation of safety rules on such a hazardous facility. i. here's what the investigative committee has said, because it is not bundled me, this is commonly known that tragedies of a similar nature have occurred in mines in the camera of a region and in other regions to the cost of these mistakes is invariably people's

lives. the investigative committee intends to look into the circumstances of the situation and address the deeper causes that led to serious consequences and provoked the tragedy. while her now emergency services working round the clock to secure the line and allow the workers extract the bodies of the victims. meanwhile, relatives are in despair and demanding more answers. black friday was supposed to bring a mega profits to the world's biggest retailer, amazon. but across europe and the u. s, the event was overshadowed by protest over the companies, treatment of workers on the environment, kill up and 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 a 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. the make amazon pay coalition is demanding higher wages for amazon's employees. an end to the worker 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 and bangladesh and many parts of the world targeting jeff bezos, an amazon highlighting the treatment, 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, their actions all over the globe. and this, this is a massive movement against greedy capitalist like basis, last year's, as,

as well as a 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 m's all workers in brazil 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 seeing it provides safe working conditions and great benefits for all staff. many workers dispute daughtry 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. um you know,

work is going to be working 55 plus hours just to fulfill packages for christmas in and holidays. so these warehouses are over a 1000000 square feet, so they walk, plus the 10 miles a day. they only feed all the all the, all the time. ok, there's no real bathroom breaks because it base take away from the talking to station of death time of task and they can absolutely be 5 for that. so they're subjected to, you know, long days of no rest, minimum graph and breaks. minimum break time in the working conditions that continue to get worse. i think it's already sad and ready bad, 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. that's where we leave it for now, i'll be back at the top, after some were great programs getting there, starting moments, find out what showing where you are to the shortest. that brings her all those driven by dreams shaped by concur. some of those with ah, who dares thinks we dare to ask

ah surely don't seem an official mister spiritual, someone with a lot of discussion with it. and what to do with the philosophy when you decide sex, line me up with another sheet you can usually should almost by you. so what i'm going to look up in did is it will to test on submission lines, you have the key moments which she's leeway and she showed

ah, i am max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. we are in els sanjay el salvador, a huge surfing community that has become known as big coin beach. the president of el salvador has made big point legal, tender. this is ground 0 for a global monetary revolution, and the more we stay, the more we like stacy, exactly, we have been here for a over a week now. and we're still reporting to you from el salvador, where hyper bitcoin ization has happened. the head of state here president, my kelly is totally hyper bitcoin eyes and he's been re tweeting us any bitcoin are in the country. and thus getting us thousands of followers from el salvador is been

extraordinary. we are right now at kind of surfing hostile, so you might see surfers walked by you might hear dog's barking. that's all just part of the see the rate. oh yeah, fantastic atmosphere and put big coin into the mix and you've got a lot of hope, a lot of surfing and a lot of sats being spent back and forth, rejuvenating juvenile being empowering a local economy. and as you point out, the president of jelly has taken to this like a duck to water or like a surfer to away where it's all about bitcoin 247. i think he's gone bitcoin mad, which is fantastic because he is now at the center of this global revolution. yes, and i do want you to understand max mentioned that we're spending sats. we have spend many, many bitcoin here in l. zante in san salvador l zante, which is where bitcoin beaches is, of course way more hyper bitcoin eyes than in san salvador.
