it's not about the quality of trade workers. it's about with the headlines here we're not seeing is a national global alarm spreading over the emergence of a new coven strain in south africa. it's prompting countries to shut down air travel with the region. the only kron has already spread to multiple nations, though the u. k. and check republic among the latest to detect cases. also in your headlines, my son is down there in the mine who passed his mother. i feel that he's alive. scenes of heartbreak has families more on the loss of 51 people in a siberian coal mine explosion. a several managers and officials happy not arrested for thursday's disaster. to protections are killed in almost 20 injured by the french military in nisha. that's according to local authorities. after a french army convoy was confronted by riot. who's on the way to molly?

i'm sorry, bryce is prompt american families to opt for low cost toki substitutes over the thanksgiving holiday with many blaming joe biden for a 30 year inflationary reco. ah top stories all the week and all today. welcome to the weekly onasia international . so israel is closing its borders now to all foreign nationals for 2 weeks was global. panic spreads over a new cove at variant, a dozens of countries have halted flights from southern africa where the army con strain was 1st detected. and in johannesburg, the restrictions of left at passengers scrambling to get out. many airlines have already grounded their flight. so there are people to have a few hours left to catch the last plains, the countries including america, a pull a slip now. so it's in south africa, the biggest airport right there,

going back to sign on. this is flows everything the station. so this time these people know very good calling to the sign. honda said no on site from cutting off every plane coming from 1000 africa with immediate effect, immediate effect, and then we checked on the france and the flight wasn't cancelled. we should have been back to paris yesterday evening and to the west can. so i'm not kidding. 10 minutes before to get in the plane. we met a young girl, you know, she was 20 and she was promoted from a tray and she was crying. she didn't know where to go. you know? and she had nobody to help her chaos anxiety and confusion. following the discovery of a new coven variant called emmy crohn, at his turn, the world upside down. people are rushing to the a port in

a pace for the attempt to get on any remaining flight. and in fact, the queue of people are lining up in front of a close the ticket sales counter. they're hoping it will open and there might be a few things that they can still get on menu button. because the united kingdom was the 1st to read list 6 southern african countries and insist that any travellers coming from them would have to go into quarantine for 10 days at a government facility. since then, the united states, canada, and the european union and other major destination have followed twice for flight and rapid pcl taste, skyrocketing kim kerr, who is the founder and lead volunteer of community circle home south africa. as for the last year, been hoping, traveling in south africa, navigate the regulation. she's been inundated with calls apart from people running out of money. yeah. funds that they had that they had thought that was going to cost them to be medical. a usually only cover you for

a certain amount of time abroad. travel, medical cover only covers you a certain amount of time that's going to run out. people have to get back to jobs. schools are going to open soon and the people trying to get the children home. the sense of loss is going to be felt because people are feeling like they are really trapped. and they're becoming more and more frustrated and see more and more tis what i'm hoping is that governments can put measures in place that not just citizens, but family of citizens. if you can show just show proof of some ty to that country, that those people will be allowed entry. even if it means extra p c r testing. or it means a little bit of quarantine with retesting in that country. that people have to understand that these are human beings. these are people who have got a need to travel, not a one. it is not clear where the army con, very 1st emerged. scientists from south africa were the 1st to alert the world

health organization. the south african government has criticized international community for rushing to ban travel before the variance is properly safe and is concerned about the damage the bad will do to both travel and business for now, the faith of people stranded at this a pulse is unclear as a volt struggled to deal with the new 300 foot south africa. but i've actually, developers are prepared to test the drugs against this new strain and the head of the russian institute behind sputnik v says lab studies will start as soon as i get a new sample. well, so far researchers are optimistic with what they have in front of them. in the meantime, hungary is one of the european nations using splitting v and i study that has found that it's very effective against all previous covey mutations. it's proven more successful in preventing hospitalization and death compared to other vaccines. the hungarian foreign minister discussed his country's immunization efforts without teeth or on a boy the interview on well, it's a part as

a bit later today. whenever i talked to western european colleagues on my vesta and iraq colleagues of mine between for i, they always tell me that they know that the russian scientific performance can be spoken of alcohol in very highly. they are pretty sure that's put new kid is working well. and i said look, it 1st the best. of course it works well privately. they all say that when it goes to public, they act totally differently. i know that you, you have plans of actually producing split, think on your own territories. so you're actually gaining from the lack of action on the part of your european neighbors. actually, we begin to lot, especially at the beginning because, you know, at the beginning, i mean like 1st part of this year, the deliveries from, from western producers were quite sometimes late. they were cancelled even sometimes, totally. or the volume was less compared to what was contracted. and at those times

the fact that the boast uniform and whitney delivered on time to us additional volumes compared to others. that gave us a huge advantage. we could reopen the country and the national economy around 2 months earlier than the european average. can i ask you a personal question? and it is really a personal question since your preferred sputnik of all be. i think it's a vaccine that i approved for use in hungary. why did you do that reason for my decision was crystal clear that when i was a kid i was vaccinated by rack scenes produced in the rush defense obvious union. and since i'm alive by file, i fought that. why should i change caused that change? so that was the very simple reason of my decision. ah mm hm.

mm. mm. well, the vaccine makers should apparently work together to end the pandemic. that's according to the head of the russian fund behind the sputnik v. short for our interview with curl, demitria, just head over to r t t dot com. renewed at pandemic clamp down across much of western europe has spoke widespread unrest on classes with police. although the european union is distancing itself from the top security response saying that's purely a matter for national governments. ah, mm ah. 6 luck yeah,

yep. as since the european commission was not present at the scene of the riots, and it's not a police organization to what it is, not in the best position to comment on the actions of the police of the in the states. a maintenance of public order is strictly within the scope of the national forties of the you states that is under supervised by the national course. and the european commission is not even the best position to make specific comments law at an anti lockdown protest. and the dutch city of rotterdam, there were $51.00 arrests and 4 people hospitalized off the police fire warning shots. there were similar scenes in the hague, with a 7 arrest made. and in austria, demonstrators were mad with a heavy handed police response. after the announcement of mandatory cobit shots, that also been large scale marches all across france. and while the e u is refusing can to a condemn tough crowd control tactics in its own member states, it takes a very different view on other countries. detention of over

a 1000 demonstrators and violence used against them by the russian authorities across the country today, threatened the fundamental freedoms of expression association and assembly in the russian federation. we spoke with our power space journalist at luke. obey who thinks europe's views on human rights are riddled with contradictions. europe, to european union due to commission, all the land. they think, we think somehow old europeans, that we are gods gifted, that we know what is good for the people in the world. we think that on human rights, our position is, was the right one. so sanction people we sanctioned be a mar if you're just done an african conversation countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain is a double standard because i was astonished as he got a pin citizen to see that in the netherlands. one of the most democracy provide

countries in western europe. the police had to shoot with real bullets in the crowd . the press was very silent about this. it was in a respite that did not insist while to me. it's something incredible. it's the 1st time since the last world war that we have to police in west of your shooting directly and people walk. there were some problems just after the war, but, but not that much. so ok, go ahead to reasons that work black blocks, you know, extremists were there in groups demonstrating that still in western europe, shooting with real bullets and the crowd. and then we have lessons to give to other countries. great, that there is a problem that all the pieces on the land should say something, even if it's not aimed at the dutch government for right now, it should be aimed at old government's asking for restraint. ass minimum that she should say search teams are still working to retrieve bodies,

marcia barian coal mine where an explosion killed 51 people on thursday that includes 5 rescuers emergency cruise over had to stop their work several times due to high methane concentrations on fears of further explosions, as we understand the remains of 5 minus were found. having found now since saturday afternoon at about 300 meters underground and the death toll was early revised downwards. after a rescuer who had been presumed dead managed to get out. his survival was described as a miracle by the emotions he subs his chief working at the side. and it gave a glimmer of hope to families waiting for news on their loved ones. yeah, got you. my son is down there in the mine. as his mother, i feel that he is alive without some help. when one matter was found alive, e. c, i give that message to you down there and 5 minutes it's possible to see alive. but we, i told people die in 2 or 3 hours. did your lack of players did or mine is how on

to the rabble. they are all ready counted his dad when you just like that, matt. he's surviving the phone. the wheel. well, we saw a russian court has now reminded 5 suspects and custody following thursdays. the disaster of the men, 3 managers, and 2 inspectors have been charged with violating safety protocols. all have denied wrong doing, leading up to the underground with an explosion in the commode of a region at the head of the mines section, where the blast occurred. insists he had received no prior complaints from the stuff just one moment here on the program. let's now have a look at how this entire tragedy unfolded. a. 6 good 50 day. don't they? horrific mon explosion inside barium. 8 30 am november the 25th. the mind with 285 people inside filled with smoke. after a methane explosion. a with

9 am november 25th actuation and rescue work starts. reports of 1st casualties authorities and now there is no contact with at least 37 people with 5 pm november the 25th rescue operations suspended in mid fears. if possible. explosion with over 30 mine is still missing. rescue say there's not much hope left because it's minus have only 4 hours of oxygen supply. 10 pm november, the 25th group of rescue workers fails to come up after the threat of explosion. latent 3 of them were found today. oh no. i didn't. i'm familiar with 3 15 pm, november the 26th. a presumed dead rescue work came out on his own raising hope

among the desperate families of mine as it is not the 1st deadly accident in this mine with another me said explosion, claiming 13 lives in 2004. i 9 with video list you good spot you out with . we got reaction from disaster investigator arnold dick's. he explained some of the difficulties facing the search cruise. it's not like on hollywood. you can't send emergency services in so day, so far with technology, even today's technology to getting there safely. the area has to be made safe. typically in a mining accident when something like this happens. vit. there is no simple

solution. this is the, the worst nightmare of, of anybody who's involved with mining. they usually aren't other options when the ventilation systems being compromised, when you've had the explosions, when the systems are destroyed or severely damaged. at the, the options of very limited. a recovery operation in circumstances like this is extremely dangerous. it's extremely dangerous because in the 1st instance, the fact that the disasters occurred at all suggests that there's been a failure in the emergency and in fact normal ventilation systems and then they, having bain and explosion, um it means that many of the safety systems, a likely now to be in operable and i suspect certainly it's been, it's my experience, but that's the sort of difficulty. but these rescue was now facing on the one hand . and there's the possibility that people may be, i'm trapped in areas with a, which is still tangible. but on the other hand,

the very real risk that rescue was themselves my be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. to protesters have been killed in almost 20 inches by the french army in ninja that's according to local officials. and after a military convoy on route to molly, was blocked by a large scale demonstration. the convoy of the french volcano, force, escorted by the national gent armory, was blocked by very violent protesters in sarah, in the talbert region. where at spend the night in its attempt to break free use force leading to the death of 2 people and 18 wounded. well, we have it from official accounts authorities in nyja which say that off to the french convoy had passed from booking of fossil into niger about 30 kilometers in a huge crowd about a 1000 demonstrators tried to stop the convoy this, this french convoy fred chair,

presence in the area has been unpopular with many people with some, at least it is, they believe, all manner of stories about french troops and their relations with various rebel groups in the area. but they try to stop this convoy and french troops reportedly began firing what they describe as warning salts, as well as tier gas, it is unclear how warning shots could have injured 18. people killed 2, but apparently french troops as well as an is jerry and troops began firing a warning shots. again, as they say at these crowds details the still somewhat scarcely expect to find out more. but the convoy has moved on off to this incident again, a very ill fated envoy because it landed in the ivory coast to support the french operation in the area is, is seen, snaked its way up towards the north,

towards molly and on the way it has said capital matter of incidence and book in a facet level multiple attempts by, by crowds in the thousands who stop these cottonwood. voskus void made up of more than a 1000 vehicles. and then also they had the flood warning shots as well as tier gas in an effort to disperse the crowds. also number of people injured. as we've heard . busy but again, this convoy is now on its way through nyja, intimately where friendship bases in french troops are station thousands of them in the decade long flight that france is waged against terrorists. it cools them as well as religious extremists in the region where we have asked the french defense ministry to comment on the incident. we'll let you know what they say. the earlier french armies spokespersons said that the soldiers fired wanting shots off to quote, a violent group tried to take over the convoy trucks.

in just a few days, the german of finance minister, olaf sholtes will become chancellor, replacing and glen michael. that's off to his party and 2 others agree to team up in what speed nickname the traffic light coalition, referring to the parties, colors. now it took 2 months for the social democrats, the greens on the free democrats to agree on terms office september's election. the cd you party, which leads the outgoing government. i had this to say about the countries incoming leadership, different loc, the, the agreement that was presented today is relatively blind and in many parts it's vague. the and the parties fall short of the things they've congregated during the election campaign wouldn't. despite the differences between the 2 main parties, olaf sholtes as stance on foreign policy is seen. it's very close to that of anglo merkel. and judging by the new coalition agreement, when it comes to relations with moscow, well, people are saying it's unlikely to see any drastic change. russia is an important international plan. we understand the importance of substantial and stable

relationships, and we continue to strive for them. we're ready thought constructive dialogue. we will take into account different threat perceptions and focus on a coleman and coherent you policy towards russia. we heard from really of emma, a, german lawyer and politician who thinks the coalition certainly has its work cut out. it is too early to see it on the same sunday and there was the question being delayed by a gentleman on the problem is about the involvement and whatnot. being on the bank of the question. well, not, not in the campaign, just a question whether the candidate will survive in political, in the next to lead to form of government thing. i'll put

it in about it is not enough in the german edition, it will be more proactive if they would phone a great coalition for all upon the government to deal with this. and you would really situation americans this week enjoyed one of the biggest holidays of the year that old thanksgiving, but with prices sort of the fastest pace in 30 years. many families just had to improvise finding low cost substitutes for the traditional turkey sees saskia taylor has more and what's proving an inflationary headache for the bio ministration this thanksgiving? it wasn't that tough t hoping for a pardon, but the president, because at this point, the only thing that's not been hit by inflation us up. i didn't ratings but don't worry because his right hand woman just slip cross of the issue. prices

have gone up. yes, they have probably why come and i decided to take advantage of a walk ship to paris to drop a cool $400.00 on a single cooking pot. so much better than over paying back home. now the average american though decided to reuse lost his pop for this year's turkey to keep the price of the thanksgiving meal down. but it still ended up costing 20 percent more than in 2020. so maybe if they'd listen to the mainstream media's top tips, they could saved a dollar or 2, perhaps forgo the turkey. bear with me, i know that is the staple of the thanksgiving meal. however, some people think turkey is overrated. and so it's tends to be the most expensive thing on the table. maybe you do an italian feast instead. now if you'll shorten ideas where to buy things, your cheap battalion ceased i recommend puppy into your local branch of the dollar tree, where every item costs you guessed at

a dollar for 35 years. that is then inflation popped along and it's now the $1.25 tree which might sound unprecedented and very, very bad. but actually, you know, inflation is nothing more than biden's enemies spreading rumors a lot of talk about inflation. nothing from you, but in general, out there has been, uh, it's become a political huddle. and while spending all your savings on a holiday meal might seem a big deal, you're really losing sight of the big picture here. they didn't really appreciate that. within a year, the bite administration has passed 2 major pieces of legislation through both of the house and the senate. now i wonder if the truck has have just been mandated vaccination amid a supply chain crisis, an historic shortage of drivers. appreciate biden. all those who this winter will probably see their energy bills jump by up to 50 percent, or those who might have not just a cold christmas, but a don't want to people who are monitoring the electric grid are incredibly

concerned about brown, out or black out. and wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, in the future or now. now and yes, bite and did release some next oil barrels to fight rising energy prices, but some think he's just covering up the real problem. his own energy policy. that's why 14 states suit biden for stopping oil and gas leases. lawmakers want him to reopen the keystone pipeline, and unions that backed him in the elections. now site, you regret it. generally, there are too many fans of his all that green thing president by whose energy policy is both weak and dom, but just as common has got a handle on inflation. the energy sack, which he knows has stopped. so don't worry how many barrels of oil does u. s. consume per day? i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really little wonder that biden's piney a 2024. we run. if you wanted to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods

that had risen of price last year, you could have hotdogs, she's lettuce and cookies. so even beyond the economic and financial effects of inflation in places, roy, individual style taxman has tremendous social pictures, role is devastating. the by the administration is far more worried about making sure the blame is cast on the previous administration. as opposed to addressing the actual causes a better thing right now would be for the government to, to observe some sort of his goal. busy and monitor sobriety and what prices are go back to where they were before the pandora. but it seems like, as has been said many years by democratic politicians are, they're not going to let a good crisis going to waste and they're going to take every opportunity they can to get the sorts of policies. busy and the sorts of platforms passed while based. okay. the not a guilty verdict in the kyle written house trial has been widely condemned by the

political left. many of tried linking the divisive case to race, despite those who were shot by the, than 17 year old being white. here's what one student association in wisconsin had to say about the ruling. we stand in stock opposition to white nationalism and the killings that follow it. black and brown, people across the country should not be targeted and subjected to excessive brutality and violence. the idea that our criminal justice system is so broken as to allow racist acts of violence to go unpunished, is shameful. rittenhouse was last week acquitted of all charges after fatal shooting to white people during a black lives matter protest in wisconsin, which had descended into chaos. he said he acted in self defense with footage of incident, certainly appearing to support his claim. now the operator surrounded the case has spelled out far beyond the public domain. an american whiskey maker has told people not to buy their written house wry if they're doing it to support team shooter,

coll, rittenhouse. the company haven't hill says the verdict is no cause for celebration . when the liquor firm statement certainly drew a mixed reaction. i know a lot of whiskey drinkers. i know a lot of conservatives. i don't know any one who toasted the actions or verdict under discussion. another attempt to divert our attention and divide us. why in the world would you choose to jump into politics? the big to said and they chose to said with corruption and evil. exactly, and now that everybody know sales the even going to go up more brilliant marketing these are the fallout doesn't end there. university of massachusetts and electronics shop at best buy a both offering counseling to people disturbed by the not guilty verdict. a conservative speaker evans say at things, it's ridiculous. this idea that grow, people need to do to,

to have psychological counseling and learn to have days off. it all these things over a legal case that was adjudicated is actually more reflection of the in santa lising, of the political life than it is that don't get anything until one is going on in the american legal system. there is a movement in america, you know, the political left that sees things only through race. i mean, this is, this is the concept of critical race theory where race is critical to your theories . and, and so by definition, this is the only way that they can see any issue in america. everything is about race map is now racist. grammar is now racist, according to these people to whom race is always critical to their theories. here that discussion continues right now online at all t dot com. what thanks for joining us. the sunday program here at moscow, it's hot pos 8 in the morning. the weekly, with the top stories over the weekend of the day. we are back soon with more of

your highlights. ah. join me every posted on the alex simon. i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah ah.
