ah ah, this our is headline stories and new coed strain in southern africa, sparks global panic prompting countries to shut down or travel with the region. the variant is already spreading globally with germany, the latest nation to report a suspected case. the developer of sputnik video preparing to test the russian shelter against the new mutation. we hear from the hungarian foreign minister upon his own country's vaccine policy on the need to put lives above politics. there are too many countries. i'm considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political order or i to logical nature. you know, it's about liable to people. well, i didn't do anything special. i simply battled for my life. every person in my situation would have done the same. the courageous 1st words of

a rescuer who has fallen to live in a siberian coal mine after being presumed dead. that criminal probe has not been opened into thursday's explosion, which claimed more than 50 ah, just after 4 in the afternoon here in moscow in this the last sunday of november 2021. welcome to the news our on our t. the u. s. on canada. have joined the ear and hosting flights from 6 southern african nations after the discovery of what's been described as a highly infectious new cobit strain in johannesburg, the new restrictions of laughter. passengers scrambling to get out. if i can get on board now, i'll have to be an employee here waiting to go back to be okay over to service or

thing. but on the other hand, always gonna have new various thought on the whole, we're gonna keep looking on every time we've gone, you varian, just a disconnecting one, going to the door and you pay is not for fear of heartbreaking people. i devastated just before christmas. mom really said yeah, frustrations, evidently clear. they're an airlines. how can so flights from south africa to the u . k. ahead of the approaching deadline, though flights this some other western countries including the u. s. r. continuing until monday. reporting now in europe's response to the new coven variant, your charlotte dubin ski in paris. will they see per mutant strain of covey. it has been described as being more transmissible than delta. and 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 are now 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 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 c 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 lock downs and la dan's 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 3rd jab for cove at 19 of vaccine. if they don't, than their health passed to ally 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 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 vase and yeah, the big question will, is charlotte went through earlier there a scientist said the new variant. how's an unusually high number of mutations? although so far there is no evidence. it's more deadly than previous strains. a biologist from russia's scope of a institute of science and technology told us why it's raising along. if this variant indeed is proficient, more proficient than delta and kang or substitute delta been or it's not the question of if, but the question of when it's very clear that this has been astray in the,

to merged in probably single individual which how the case took a long cold, it probably all was a suppressed immune system where than you very and had gradually accumulated multiple mutations well being in the single person. and then was released in the environment and started talking new individuals. what they can do most is just slow down on the distribution, global distribution of the new very young to that will happen. whether they are restrictions not. yes, so concerns across the world, but just to turn focus into europe, germany is continuing to see a certain coven infections with a new daily record of 76000 cases on the situation of course, has been compounded by that all me crumb variant according to a government minister, one likely case has already been detected in the country. several mutations typical of alma crohn were found last night and i travel up 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 on the german air force is being called in to help transfer co patients from overwhelmed hospital so far to military jan's have been set aside to assist. we spoke to a disease specialist there who believes with the new strain. all options are on the table. 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 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. it thought that the virus is changing all the time, and several mutations have occurred. the virus is multiplying a few 1000 times a day. errors occur in the replication and a new virus emerges. it's not unusual. i'm going up in every day. yes,

so there is still plenty of uncertainty over the army, chrome variant on whether the public is warranted on our website. we've gotten explain or taking you through everything from spike proteins to the stock market. seller had to r t dot com for that. who's like seen producers, they already tried to figure out whether their drugs will work against the omi crohn variant in russia. they had to become a lear institute, which is behind the sputnik v shot. so he's testing will start soon as the institute has a sample of the new strain but so farther optimistic and then hungry, where the russian job has been widely adopted. a studies found that sputnik v as effective against all earlier covariance, also compared to the alternative vaccines. it was more successful at preventing hospitalization and death. budapest is now hoping local

production or something be will in fact start next year. and though the drug is still awaiting approval from the regulator, it's been a story that for quite some months, the hungarian foreign minister peter c. r 2 has been speaking to r t x on a boy who about the need to de politicize issue. i really don't find the verse to describe how i feel about the fact that there are few, 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 who knew the lives of the people. what is it for them? 5 year old political mother, 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 how way vaccine can be approved on the territory of the 2 ways. first, 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 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 talked to western european colleagues on my vest or european colleagues of mine between for i, they always tell me that they know that the russian scientific performance can be spoken about all in very highly. and they 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 13 minutes past 4 pm here in moscow. still ahead in the program, workers and eco activists. target that corporate giant amazon with a wave of black friday strikes and rallies are we're working conditions that story coming up shortly. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk

ah ah oh,

hello again. a russian court has 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 have been charged with violating safety protocols. old half denied wrongdoing leading up to the underground within explosion in the camera . of a region which claimed the lives of 51 people, the head of the mines section where the blast occurred insists he had received no prior complaints from stuff. the debt told was early a revised don words after a rescuer who had been presumed dead managed to get out of the mine. his survival was described as a miracle by the emergency services chief working at the site. local miners, though, have lost hope of finding any more survivors who crosses your son's room for laura . the last chance to get out was with the rescuer, who survived. don't wait for the rest darkness. 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 is no mining without gas. only more ventilation and more checks will help for you, others before no cold, no money. every one 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 mindless, the shaft was poorly ventilated. a specialist has to come and check all that needs to be checked. but that time work started straight away. a significant update a little earlier on saturday. the rescue operation has no resumed after being halted for a run 36 hours due to fears of further explosions. the camera of a governor says caution is 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. 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 and earlier while rescuers were unable to access the mine, desperate families were left waiting for news at the entrance hall. they don't really to any glimmer of yeah, got my yes. my son is down there in the mine. as his mother, i failed that he is alive without some hope. when one man was found alive, he see if that man spent a day down there and survived. it means it's possible to survive. but we are tall. people dying 2 or 3 hours due to lack of air minus her on to their rabble. they are already counted his dad just like that. matt has survived. well, it's been 3 days since the explosion here at the list version of coal mine in

canada and efforts are still going on throughout the day to stabilize the situation in the mine. now at this point, nitrogen has been injected into the mine to neutralize the build up of methane gas . but that means that virtually at this point, there's no chance that anybody who is still trapped down there have survived. now a criminal investigation into this tragedy is already ongoing. 5 people have been detained. that's on the head of the mining company, his deputy, and the person in charge of the mine itself. now also there were 2 safety inspectors who were detained on suspicion of faking a safety inspection in this exact mine just a week before this horrific tragedy. now the mine deputies, they denied the charges made against them. and also, one of the inspectors also says that he did not do anything wrong. however, all 5 of these people have been detained for 2 months of pending the investigation

as it continues to find out what was wrong with mine and what led up to this situation. and in fact, it's been told, we've seen reports that there were a lot of known issues in this mine and that miners knew about them and reported them to the higher ups. here's what one of the relatives of the miners has said on the matter. one rosco's, honestly, i remember my brother in law telling me about a methane program in the mine and the instances of a gas builder. anton told me that when the level of methane went off, the scale and o work ground to haute. but sometimes despite this, there was a forbidden level of methane, and even though it wasn't that high, the mind is still at 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. well, now the investigative committee has said that it will do its utmost to get to the

bottom of this to find out who could have been responsible for this blatant violation of safety procedures, honor hazardous production facility. and this is what they have said in their statement. because it is not by doubling, it 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 lead to serious consequences and provoked the tragedy. let's think of me right now. there are still many grieving relatives who have been devastated by this tragedy, and they demand answers and hopefully with the criminal investigation going on. as soon they could receive them. black friday just passed was supposed to bring a mega profits to the world. biggest retailer, amazon. it may have done that, but across europe and the u. s, the event was overshadowed by protests over the companies,

treatment of workers on the environment killer. my been reports from the heart of the demonstrations in new york. ah, 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 at 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 and 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 years as, as well as a 2019 were pretty big. but this year may be the biggest i me to day, 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. wish amazon issued a statement in advance of the protests at defending it's environmental record on seeing it provides safe working conditions and great benefits for old stuff. at

many workers, though, dispute thought came here, set them talking to kill up again. 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 an 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 holidays. so these warehouses are over a 1000000 square feet. so they walk, plus the 10 miles a day. they only feed all it all the all the time, or there's no real bathroom breaks because if they pick away from it's ottoman station, us time of task and they can absolutely be fired for that. so they're subjected to a, you know, long days of no ris, minimum graph and breaks, minimum break time in the working conditions and continue to get worse. i think it's so very sad and very bad. and especially what happening in the last 2 years in

this country, people are suffering, especially the working class. jacqueline is a symbol of this country, but that company which is not based on the humanity, was based on the greed, jeff bezos. and just in a minute is earning, but 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. all right here sean few. now the pentagon has a nice the creation of a new departmental group to investigate reports of all identified earl phenomena that work will be overseen by both the military and the intelligence agencies. the and i spent follows the release of a report that failed to provides explanation of more than 100 sightings of a legit, strange phenomena by military pilots and others. over the past 2 decades,

the pentagon reopened z u. s. boat task force 5 months after the previous group proved to be ineffective. seems like the u. s. fails insecure without searching for unidentified flying objects. this new group has a really big name ah, big name. think tasks. says the pentagon takes a report on ab on objects very seriously. c but where are we leave it for lot, i'll be back at the top after some more gray programs getting there, start in moments, find out what is showing wherever you are today. after the shortest of bricks

with join me every posted on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking the guess of the world politics. small business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. and people is something they can't ride on police report if you can. in december 2020, a group of anti fascists allowed a film crew access for 3 months. so like if people organization, if an idea that it must be a pose as channel out the gate while they may kill that but he says, but they can say what they believe in. we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to united states has gotten reuben, this is a chance to see who on t for really are in order for me to extract my 1st amendment right. and say that my

life matter, i have to be on to the t for that. that's how america we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in. oh, my gosh, i don't want to go for it up here, cooks and you're so you're below me and a blog. i talked almost i spoke when she died, a and a session was to resource from for you tomorrow. even though with

e push to pull, she was stuck storm you produce. look at the la area. we've done e summer. what dark, what mclean you sent it. but those are on the bus up but she was helium seal. if you're crush absolute now. so and you redeemer that, that i've been the nimble with cuz i as to let me start with that the shooting shimaya stella roster. not the michelin listening to the fitness coroner's thought. you were partition with bermuda. them somewhere that's familiar with them. eel duck with them. if in the show of look that he gave me a scholarship to get that done for showing that i went there in the bridge one with the spiritual from one of that before it's our copy of the plan. there's no proof,

no chips a so she question with the child behind it a don't mister been on the side of her question? i got them called me up with a glider. wholesale plan is an unparalleled aircraft that maintains flight with aero dynamic lift, which pushes up on the wings with airflow. for glenda to achieve free flight, the small co plane is used for shuttle for school. well miss you and i will, will try to get enough to do any interest not to go down there to go somewhere else or just mostly, uh, auto renew going across.
