ah ah, a new cupboard strain in southern africa sparks global tonic problems and countries to shut down i travel with the region are and has already spreading globally with the u. k. the legislation to confirm cases developers of subordinate v if repairing the test, the russian shot against the new mutation. we also hear from the hungarian, a 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 a political order. i don't know. it's about liable to people thought it was. bones might have 3 vaccinations for its caribbean territories, authors, spite of volatile rest over the order. ah,

why from oscar? thanks for joining us tonight. you are not international and daniel hawkins, wherever you are this evening, welcome to the program. and the u. k. united states and canada have old join the e u in holding flights from 6 southern african nations off the discovery of what's being described as a highly infectious new code with strength in china's book and restrictions so left her passengers scrambling to get out. if i can get on board now, i'll have to be unemployed year waiting to go back to the k over deter serious thing. but on the other hand, always going to have new variance fraud on the whole. we gonna keep looking down every time we want, you varian, just dirt disconnecting one, going to the door and tell you, it is not for fear of heartbreaking people. i devastated just before christmas. mom really saying people clearly frustrated there. that's as airlines have cancelled

lights from the south africa to the u. k. ahead of the approach from deadline. oh, flights to some other were some countries including the us, are continuing until monday, reporting now on europe's response to the new covariance. here's charlotte whiskey in paris. 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. 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 that'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 back 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 read 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 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 pass 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 co vig 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 end on a short term stated their scientists. so the new variant has an unusually high number of mutations, though so far, there's no evidence. there's just, it's more deadly than previous strengths, reverse or constant him, severing off a bar letters from russia, skulk of university of science and technology told us why it's ringing. alarm bells . 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 a strain that emerged in it, 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 attacking new individuals. what they can do is just slow down on the distribution global distribution of you very.

and that will help them, whether they are restrictions not turning focus to europe. but germany is continuing to see a surgeon coven infections with a new daily record of 76000 cases. situation has been compounded by the on the phone variant, according to government minister, one likely case has already been detected within its borders. 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, but ospital was a germany already overwhelmed with the air force being cool in to help transfer a cupboard. patients so far to military jets have been set aside to assist. we spoke to a disease specialist there. he believes the new strain means all options are on the table. when you buy on this new varian spreads quickly, and the vaccines we have now stopped working. they weren't 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 is sort of 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 and going up every day. i still think it will be on the contrary and whether the panic is warranted on our website. we've got an explain it taking you through everything from spike protein to the stock market set of head through all the dot com to read up on lots novak seen produces a scrambling to determine if there drugs will work against the on the con, variance in russia, the institute behind the sporting degree jobs as testing will start as soon as they

obtain a sample of the new strain, south africa as it will make samples available through other nations. in hungary, i studies found sputnik v off as high efficacy against all earlier code with variance such as their sites more successful preventing hospitalization and death than any other vaccine. budapest is now hoping local production of sputnik we will start next year though. the drug is still waiting approval from the regulator, the hungarian foreign minister peter should onto sat down without his exxon, a bull code to speak 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 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 are you in the lives of the people? what is it for them 5 year old political,

it's mother of political and ideological debate. i'm very frustrated about that. to be honest. and i tell you why europeans regulation speaks very clearly about how way 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 actions also on a temporary basis before we started to use both splitting 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 use of mine between for i,

they always tell me that they know that the russian scientific performance can be spoken about calling 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 had walked 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 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 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 another update concerning the virus france has spoken to vaccine. man, that order for its kinda being territories, it follows a week of von and unrest and guadalupe on martinique over co restrictions imposed by paris. the news, the

french government initially ordered all health workers on the counter being on and to get co with shots will take unpaid leave. that didn't go down well with frustration already high over an employment, stagnant wages. and widespread poverty approaches have tapped into a broader resentment against paris with all into citing heavy handed regulations on a lack of financial support of the french president deserves people in guadalupe. and martha need not to mix up code rules with colonial era grievances, mental macro, and also to some of the territories of spreading what he called forces about vaccine. we will not give in july the distortion of inflammation and the exploitation by some people of the situation. we do not play with health and we will not let the health of the french people be played with for the sake of political infighting. political analysts technical america that says the postponement of jap, my nights on the islands cur people in mainland france asking why we should have to

put up with compulsory vaccines. it could catastrophe. people are not being taken care of in the hospitals in the, in the loop today. it's a very difficult situation with a threat coming from paris. it's only been greeted by a strong backlash from the inhabitants of guadalupe. don't want the french laws concerning mandatory health classes in the island. this is the 1st time that we seen real revolt against the coming from paris. they don't trust the government, they don't trust the media. so they say we don't want is vaccine because we don't think that these are, these are the solution to the sanitary crisis or the covert crisis today. so there isn't the fundamental. busy minutes for the strong distrust information coming from paris and from intermedia. and i think it's going to be interesting to see how the government treats this because people and in maine and processing. well, if the government is going to come back on its law and guadalupe in martinique, which are french, which, which are in for why do they do the same thing in france?

why if they're making vaccinate, they're saying now the 1st government that can give back teams which don't have a r n and messenger if they're doing that for, well, why don't do they do this for the rest? are friends or they're going to be different, gods don't come rent are storing in spain and large american investment companies that we blamed would explain all off the brand. i oh, driven by drill shaped bankers and those with

dares sinks. we dare to ask ah ah ah, we'll come back. russian quarters reminded 5 suspects in custody for

a period of 2 months following thursday's deadly coleman bloss the men, 3 managers and 2 inspectors had been charged with von eating safety protocols. all have denied wrong doing, leading up to the underground lisa, an explosion and a camera will region which claimed the lives of 51 people, the head of the mind section. what last occurred insists he had received no prior complaints from stuff, and the dresser was only revised downwards off their rescuer, who'd been presumed dead managed to get out of the mind. survival was described as a miracle body emergency. so was his chief working at the sight local mine as though have lost any 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's 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 minds. 18 years ago when i witnessed the mind glass, 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. meanwhile, the bodies of 5 minus had been retrieved from under the rubble rescue. operation resumed after being hailed, halted due to fears of further explosions. he came out of the 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 a rescue were unable to access the mind. desperate families were left waiting for news at the entrance. hold the gone to any glimmer of hope you have that much. yeah . 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, you 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 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 of coal mine in canada and efforts are still going on throughout the day to stabilize the situation in the mind. 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 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 build up. anton 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 bundled, 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. it's like 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, as soon they could receive them. tenants in spain are fighting, barclay, and soaring rents so many are pointing the finger at us private equity firms buying up vast amounts of real estate. barcelona and madrid are the worst affected with both cities sing, rental prices, spike in recent years. a trend was accelerated during a pandemic in while wall street landlords are cashing in the new york times. singling out sir bruce, capital management, blackstone group, and lone star funds. as the biggest owners of spanish property we spoke with

latisha casado, a campaigner for affordable housing. the if it does, yes it is. and during the previous crisis that affected the entire population of the country. and now when the economy crisis was followed by health care crisis, we see that during such periods, large investors mainly enrich themselves because they own housing. and there are very few rental office on the real estate market and demand. on the contrary, it's very high, in addition to spanish public administration does not have enough resources to provide families with decent housing alternative solutions to has him problems. all this creates fertile ground for the activities of large corporations because they can significantly increase their profits. she implemented? yes, absolutely. people move to other areas. he happens unnoticed and as a rule is not covered by the media. in recent years, the process has been gaining momentum since many citizens who previously lived

within the city limits in the central districts of the city are unable to pay rent and were forced to look for housing further from the center. but even the rents arising just due to an increase in demand of the spanish government a place to address the problem, they struck the bell imposing a cap on rental likes and increasing taxes on vacant properties. that is your sorrow, though, has other ideas on how to help renters. 11 months on september, the 30th our organization, the platform of mortgage victims, together with more than $200.00 civil society groups and organizations, submitted to the congress of deputies at bill. that means the housing needs of citizens in order to guarantee their rights to housing at the state level. it contains several important provisions, the adoption of which we have been seeking for several years as they reflect the real needs of citizens. in fact, we need

a law that will operate at the state level. this is how tournaments communities can adapt the standards to the needs of citizens. in addition, this bill does not reflect the need to create alternative ways to solve the housing problems of their families who are subject to eviction. such mechanisms will allow the families to continue in normal life. for example, the fact that the state provide housing for 3 months and then withdraws itself from solving this problem, can not be an alternative. it seems to be very important that government agencies begin to act and take real measures to guarantee access to the necessary resources or housing so that people can receive social housing and use it for many years in order to somehow plan their lives in or out on the city streets, the running against perceived racism and states violent as you can see, things pretty heated. the action was triggered by the fall of right wing cd and president for candidates on charges of reasoning

illustrating a thousands of in marching in melbourne and sydney to decry what they brought discrimination in the form of vaccine manders across the state of victoria, only go through a double jam go to work across the north industry because there's also angry that 7 looks on restrictions will continue to apply for the on back to the children. a 12 and a rock disputed election results have lead to more on rhetoric with 100 attempting to schooled by god's green zone, which is the government. the protest this supports political parties with ties to iran, looks lost, significant ground a last month spoke up next it's we're down to tonight. so if you gave you is it's boom bust. so the team and i will be back in half an hour with all of our latest join us again that i saw a message from an unknown account that had

a self re with my passport as its profile page. i saw pictures of my documents. it was, they also sent a credit contract. i had just 3 days comply with their demands to see if i didn't send money and they sent out an online hate campaign that i was supposed to be a very dangerous man. with

the postal service delivers a $155000000.00 pieces of mail every year. constantly 40 percent of the worlds now right now the us postal service is in the flight of its life remain that is really bad. financial shade 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 u. s. 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 work. there is the model with

ah, an old hungarian proverb says you can't put everything under one head. 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? ah ah sure don't seem inefficient, mr. hatcher. someone at that the from to check with.
