ah ah, a new coverage strain in southern africa sparks global panic prompt in countries to shut down air travel with the region. the variance is already spreading globally with the u. k. the latest nation to confirm cases. the developers of sputnik v. you're preparing to test the russians short against the new mutation. we also hear from the hungarian foreign minister about his own country's vaccine policy, and the need to put lives above politics. there are still many countries. i'm considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political order or ideological nature. you know, it's about lives of the people and france, postpones monetary vaccinations for its caribbean territories, off the respite of von and unrest with the order. ah,

blunt from oscar, thanks for joining us tonight on auto international and daniel hawkins. wherever you are, the salad. welcome to the program. now the u. k. the united states and canada have joined the you in and halting flights from 6 southern african nations off of discovery of what's being described as a highly infectious new code would strain. in johannesburg, new restrictions, i would have to have passengers scrambling to get out home. get on board. now i'll have to be an employee here waiting to go back. okay, perfect. it's very serious thing, but on the other hand, always because i'm have new variance thought on a whole, we're gonna keep looking on every time we've gone. you varian, just dirt disconnecting one, going to the door and you pay is not for fear of heartbreaking people. i devastated just before christmas, mom really said frustration nuclear there that says airlines have canceled flights

from south africa to the u. k. ahead of the approaching deadline. oh, flights to some other western countries, including the us, are continuing until monday and reporting now on europe's response to the new code variance he is shot at levinsky. 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 key and that knock on will happen confirmed 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 and 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 the 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 this? and when a sharlitra was saying that scientists say the newberry enters an unusually high number of mutations, though so far, there is no evidence. it's more deadly than previous strains. professor constantine submarine off a ball is yours for rushers score. can i institute of science and technology told us why it's rosie moon on? if this variant indeed is proficient, more proficient than delta and can substitute delta, then it's not the question of if the question when it's very clear that this has been straightened up, emerged in a probably single individual which had a case of long code. it probably was a suppressed amune system where than you there and 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 the new very and what will happen whether they are restrictions not on turning the focus to europe. germany is continuing to see a june cobra infections with a new daily record of 76000 cases. the situation has been compounded by the comic con, or con variant. according to a government minister, one likely cases already been detected with an exporters. 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. ok with us, but all in germany, already overwhelmed with the air force being called in to help transfer patients so far to minute projects have been set aside to assist. we spoke to a disease specialist there. he believes the new strain means all options and now on the table when you buy 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. and several mutations have 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 in every day. are still plenty of uncertainty with the on the on very in terms with the panic is warranted on our website. we're going to explain it taking you through everything from spite proteins. the stock market set off had to call t dot com, to find out what the need for the boxing produces a scrambling to determine if the drugs will work against the on the con, variance in russia, the institute behind the sport and agree jobs as testing will start as soon as they

obtain a sample of the new strain for africa says it will make samples available to other nations in hungary, a studies found that split nuclear offers high efficacy against all earlier covered variance research. you say it's more successful at preventing more specialization and death than any other vaccine would've asked is now hoping local production of clinical you will start next year. so the drug is still waiting approval from the regulator. the younger in foreign minister protests regardless, sat down with the artist on a blue coat to speak about the need to do 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 who knew 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 hallway 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 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 splitting because you know, 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 european colleagues of mine between for ice,

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 was 56 years ago, and i remember the way we were really, really attacked. and we were considering very, 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 big hypocrisy. there might be some comments which,

which sound to be different compared to what has been has since 2015 by the essence, by 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 well. another uptake concerning the disease, france has postponed vaccine man and order for its caribbean territories. this follows a week of von and unrest and guadalupe and martinique. i have a co restrictions imposed by parents. ah. 2 4 ah, ah,

all the french government initially ordered all health workers on the caribbean island to get cobit shots all take unpaid leave. that didn't go down too well with frustration already high over unemployment, stagnant wages and wide spread poverty approaches have tapped into broader resentment against paris with ireland as citing heavy handed regulations and a lack of financial support. and the french president deserted people in guadalupe on martinique not to mix up code rules with colonial iraq grievances macro, also q some on the child freeze of sporting what he called falsehoods about vaccines. we will not give into lies distortion of information and the exploitation by some people of this situation. we do not play with health, and we will not lead the health of the french people to be played with for the sake of political in fighting a political alice. nicola markovich says the postponement of jap man, it's on the islands, could have people in maine on france asking why they should have to put up with

compulsory vaccine. it's a catastrophe. people are not being taken care of in the hospitals in the, in, in going to luke today. it's a very difficult situation. the threat coming from paris is only been greeted by a strong backlash from the inhabitants of waterloo. don't want the french laws concerning mandatory health passes in on the island. this is the 1st time that we've seen real revolts against the decision coming from paris. they don't trust the government, they don't trust the media. so they say we don't want his vaccines because we don't think that these are, these are the solution to the cemetery crisis recovery crisis today. so there isn't this the fundamental. busy i mean, is this strong distrust in information coming from paris and from mainstream media? and i think it's going to be interesting to see how the government treats this because people in maine and practicing well, if the government is going to come back on it's law and guadalupe martinique, which are french, or which are in france. why don't they do the same thing in france?

why if they're making that's me, they say now the 1st government that i can give back seems we don't have a r n and messenger in it. if they're doing that for, well, why don't do they do that? for the rest of friends, are there going to be different laws going ahead and program workers and eco activists. talk at the corporate joins amazon with a wave of black friday strikes and running that story coming up after the break a ah ah ah ah ah. in

ah ah, join me every 1st bit o me alex simon. sure. i'll be speaking the guess of the world politics. sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah. ah, welcome back. a russian cooled has reminded 5 suspects in custody for

a period of 2 months following thursday's deadly coal mine bloss. the men at 3 managers and to inspect this have been charged with violating safety protocols. all have denied wrong during leading up to the underground method explosion, and the camera will region which claimed the lives of 51 people. that of the mine section where the last occurred insists he had received no prior complaints from stop the database earlier revised. dar works offer, rescue, who'd been presumed dead managed to get out alive. his survival was described as a miracle by the emergency, sir. with his chief working at the sight, local miners thought to have lost hope of finding any more survivors were crawford in your son's room for the last chance to get out was with the rescuer. gu 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 is no mining with our gas, only more ventilation and more checks will help for ya. does 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 mind last, the shaft was poorly ventilated. a specialist has to come and check all that needs to be checked, but that time worked started straight away. in while the bodies of 5 dead miners had been retrieved from under the rubble, the rescue operation resumed after being halted due to fears of further explosions . the countable governor says caution is the priority mail and the cancer store. 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 earlier while rescuers were unable to access the mind, desperate families were left waiting for news at the entrance. holding on to any glimmer of hope. yeah, but yet my son is down there in the mine as his mother. i feel 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 die in 2 or 3 hours due to lack of air minus her on to the 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 or 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 saw 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 the 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. and so on. told me that when the level of methane went off, the scale and o 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. 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. lincoln right now, there are still many grieving relatives who have been devastated by this tragedy. and these demand answers and hopefully with the criminal investigation going on, are soon they could receive them. of like, friday was supposed to bring and make a profit for the world's biggest retailer, amazon. it may have done that, sir, but across europe on the us, the event was overshadowed by protests over the companies, treatment of workers and environment. kellum open reports on 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 the 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 and 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 it, this is a massive movement against greedy capitalist like basis last years as well as a 2019 were pretty big. but this year may be the biggest i me to day, you know, hammers on workers in south africa walked off the job and was 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. i was in issued a statement in advance of the protest defending its environmental record and saying it provides safe working conditions and great benefits falls off. and he work as though disputes that claim can you describe the conditions and the amazon warehouses? yeah, absolutely. they are brutal, especially run 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. ah, you know,

work is going to be working 55 plus hours just to fulfill packages for christmas in holidays. and 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. ok, there's no real bathroom breaks because if they pick away from the talking to station, oh, that's time of task and they can absolutely be fired for that. so you're subjected to a, you know, long days of no rest, minimum graph and breaks, minimum break time in the working conditions and continue to get worse. i think it's so various sad and very bad. and especially when 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 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 search for you. a foes has long been a hobby farm or to alien hunters and governments alike. here the u. s. has now decided it's time to up its game. that's because it still has over a 100 sightings of strange, aerial phenomena by military bought. it's another's over the past 2 decades, that it's experts can't explain. the pentagon, reopen the u. s. vote task force 5 months after the previous group proved to be ineffective. seems like the us fails, insecure without searching for unidentified flying objects. this new group has a really big name. ah, big name, big tasks. says the pentagon takes all reports on have on objects very seriously.

c c but the author commentary here is the story as a female upon it, on a journey to becoming professionals. so you can use cancun, separated episode of boom must join us here. hello. oh, well, an old hungarian proverb says you can put everything under one hand. it means that the same rules can't be applied to every one. and yet this is what beauty 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

bank government feel about its future and place in the european family? oh, she rushed to the phone. if you're in front of your captain, your salon, you're below reading a blog. i talked almost i spoke when said that your point of fashion was the resource for you to know. even though with e poster board, she was stuck, stall nepalese law, yet the law. or yeah,

we could do each summer. we'll talk with millennial said he bottoms us from the possible brochures, helium seal. if you're crush absolute now, fill in your redeemer and that it's that i've been in your book with correct? yes. to let me start with that the ocean finish, and i am stella ross, the official, i'm listening to the finish corner store hotels with bermuda done some more progress. familiar with them. you don't know if you know the show of not that he got ah, a no, but you don't there in the bridge one message. there are quite sure someone that, that before, that's our copy of the hello.
