price is prompt american families to opt for low cost turkeys, substitutes over the thanksgiving holiday. with many blaming joe biden, for a 30 year inflationary reco. ah, as we are running down the week's top stories here on our team, we also have an awful lot of headlines for you as of today. so welcome to the program. my rule research shy. israel is now closing its borders to old foreign nationals for 2 weeks. as global panic spreads over a new covey. varian and dozens of countries have stopped flights from south africa, where the american strain was 1st detected. and in johannesburg, the restrictions have left their passengers scrambling to get out. for many of them, it's already too late. at the last plains to europe, the far east and north america have already left ahead of travel deadlines imposed by various governments. although some carriers are still offering flights to doha,

which is a major connection hub ortiz policy spoke with travelers. but south africa's biggest that board nothing i can do coming as a whole, not getting anything that's the thing. and i didn't know when, when we checked on the front and the flight wasn't consult, i think you hear on the 10th the flight, the wells and everything. so we're going to buy a new secret chaos anxiety and confusion following the discovery of a new coven variant hold a me chronic at his turn, the world upside down. people are rushing to the airport in a desperate 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 they might be a few things that they can still get on. many more questions because the united

kingdom was the 1st to read list 6 southern african countries and insist that any travelers coming from them would have to go into calling team 14 days at a government facility. since then, the united states, canada and the european union and other major destination has followed prices for flights and rapid pci. skyrocketing kim kirk, who is the founder and lead volunteer of community circle home south africa. as for the last year, been hoping traveling in and 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 aids 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, if the children home,

the sense of loss is going to be felt because people are feeling lack there of really trapped. and they're becoming more and more frustrated. and i'm seeing more and more tears. 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 pcr tasting, or it means a little bit of quarantine with retesting in that country. but people have to understand that these are human beings. these are people who have got a need to travel, not a once. it is not clear where the army convent 1st emerged that scientists from south africa were the 1st to the world health organization. the south african government has criticized international community for rushing to ban travel before the variant is properly assist and is concerned about the damage the bad will do to both travel and business. for now,

the fate of people stranded at this april is unclear as well struggles to deal with a new threat. policy, a r t, johannesburg, south africa. so a vaccine developers on our preparing to test their drugs against the brand new coverage straight. and the head of the russian institute behind sputnik re, says lab studies will start as soon as they get a hold of a sample. and so far, researchers seem to be optimistic. now, hungary is one of the european nations using subordinate v and a study there has found that it's effective against all previous covered mutations . it's actually proven more successful in preventing a hospitalization and death when compared to other vaccines. and a hungarian foreign minister disgust his country's immunization efforts with autism on a boy. and we'll be showing that interview and well, it's a part just after this bulletin. i really don't find the verse to describe how i feel about the fact that there are still many countries considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political or, or ideological nature. you know,

it's about the lives of the people we knew in the lives of the people. what is it for them as far as your mother or political, it's whether a political and ideological debate. i'm very frustrated about that. to be honest. and i tell you why your appeal, the regulation speaks very clearly about hallway vaccine, can be approved on the territory of 2 ways. first, by the european madison agency, which is a normal, let's say business of usual way of approving 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 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 calling 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 know that you, you have plans off actually producing to think on your own territory. so you're actually gaining from the lack of action on the part of your european neighbors. actually we begin to last, 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 of rich. can i ask you a personal question? and it is really a personal question. since your preferred us put new of all the i think it's 8 vaccines that are approved for use in hungary. why did you do that? c reason for my decision was crystal clear that when i was a kid, i was vaccinated by rack scenes produced in the russia times obvious union and cyber life i filed for that. why should i change quite the change? so that was the very simple reason of my decision to get me or actually make us should work together to end the pan democrats,

according to the head of the russian fund behind the sputnik be shot for our exclusive interview with korea. dmitri, i've just had over 2 or 3 dot com, who's a renewed pandemic club down across much of western europe, a spark widespread unrest with clashes with the police as well. although the european union is actually distancing itself from the tough security response, saying that's purely a matter for national government. ah, with that since the european commission was not present at the scene of the riots, and it's not a police organization, it is not in the best position to comment on the actions of the police of the u

states. the maintenance of public order is strictly within the scope of the national forties of the you states and is supervised by the national courts. and the european commission is not in the best position to make specific comments at an anti lockdown protest. and the dutch city of rotterdam, there were $51.00 arrests, and 3 people were hospitalized off to police fire warning shots. similar scenes also taking place in the hay with 7 arrests made. and in austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy hand. please respond softly. announcement of mandatory shots have also been large scale marches across france and belgium. and while the u. u is refusing to condemn tough crowd control tactics in its own member states, it does take rather a different stance on other countries. the 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. fish to the people in hong kong, the support of in union toys, nail autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand my dear people are hung barouche and stitching to the streets. we smash protests and towards the violence against this peaceful protest us was shortage. and an acceptable return then this brutality and expect a full and transparent investigation. quito ish. but a shad i would like to read to write to the right of the cuban people to express their opinions in a peaceful manner. and i want to ask the government to allow these peaceful demonstrations and to listen to the discontent of the protest has heritage but paris a base journalist luc with a things europe views on human rights. a riddled with contradictions. europe to european union have been commissioned all the land. they think we think somehow all

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 old was the right one. so sanction we sanction b a mar if you're just don, i'm african countries, asian countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain. it is a double standard because i was astonished as he got a pin citizen to see that in the netherlands. one of the most the longest they provide countries in western europe. the police had to shoot with the real bullets in the crowd. the press was very silent about this. it was in a respite. they 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 western here, shooting directly and people walking. there were some problems just after the war, but, but not that much. so ok, go ahead the reasons that was black blocks, you know, extremists were there in the groups than straining but 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 obviously missed on the land should say something, even if it's not aimed at the dutch government for rocks. now, it should be aimed at old government's asking for restraint. that's a minimum that she should say. all right, let's give you an update from the camera of a region we've been covering this for the past 4 days. now search teams are working to retrieve bodies from a siberian coal mine. it's where an explosion killed 51. people on post a including 5 rescue was emergency cruise had to stop their work several times due to high methane concentrations and phase of fo the blasts. the remains of 5 miners have been found since saturday afternoon, 300 meters underground. and with the latest correspondent, dmitri polk, now efforts to stabilize the mind of the going round,

the clock in nitrogen has been used to clear out the dangerous method that is built up inside the mind and poses a risk of explosion. now at this point, there are literally no chances that anybody has survived was trapped inside. however, the destroyed family members are still hoping that there could be some miracle and that their loved ones could still be alive. yeah, that might yet 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 die in 2 or 3 hours due to lack of air minus her onto their ramble. they are already counted his dad just like that man has survived. now it's hard breaking to watch those scenes. there are still many family members who haven't lost hope, and their hope was only bolstered by the miraculous recovery of a rescue worker who was presumed dead on friday. and having spent almost an entire

day trapped inside the mind, the 51 year old alexander's the garage and somehow managed to get out of that mine . and here was his 1st interview since being rescued. fernado alexander. how do you feel? i'm doing great. lucy, are you able to see better now? yeah, better we would you still going to do so? where all bursting with pride that it all went well. you're like. well, i didn't do anything special. i simply battle for my life. you know, every person in my situation would have done the same. his condition right now is stable, although critical, but it's expected that he will make a full recovery and make it back to his wife and son. but unfortunately, the same can't be said for the others who are trapped inside the mind. 51 people ultimately died and people are now wondering how this happened. and what led up to this. a criminal investigation has been launched, and 5 people have been detained and arrested. the director of the coal mine,

his deputy, and the person in charge of this exact mine, have all been detained and also to safety inspectors who are accused of faking a safety inspection. just a week before this tragic explosion. now all these people have denied their guilt, but nevertheless they have been arrested for 2 months, pending further investigation. but one thing that has become clear is that this mine has been plagued by saves eva issues. apparently, most of the miners knew about these issues and the reported them to the higher ups from the one that was go home, sleep. i remember my brother in law telling me about a methane program in the mine, the even that's resorts 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 with him. my husband came home and every time he was saying these won't and well, all the sensors were beeping down there. he sat, that's the conditions and minus half to working at the moment. now,

all of these reports will be taken into account by the investigation, which is trying to get the to the bottom of what happened, how it happened, what led up to it, what were the underlying causes? and ultimately, how to prevent such things from happening again. but while that investigation goes on and rescue services continue working on securing the mind and recovering the body's relatives are still distraught and demanding more answers. dmitri power r t camera, i just remembered her on the program. let's now have a look back at how this entire tragedy unfolded in the 1st place. a. 6 50 dead out. they horrific mon explosion inside barium. 8 30 am november the 25th. the mind with 285 people inside filled with smoke after me. fain explosion. a with

9 am november 25th accusation and rescue work starts. reports of 1st casualties. the authorities announced there is no contact with at least 37 people. 5 pm, november the 25th rescue operation suspended in mid fears. if possible. explosion with over 30 mine is still missing. rescue a se. there's not much hope left. it's minus 74 hours of oxygen supply. 10 pm, november the 25th group of rescue work has failed to come up after the threat of explosion . latent 3 of them were found today. oh, not a 3 15 pm, november the 26th. a presumed dead rescue work came out on his own bracing hope

among the desperate families of mine is. it is not the 1st deadly accident in this mine with another me said explosion claiming 13 lives in 2004. 0 yeah. a studio let's do you good spot you out with we got reaction from disaster investigator on old dick's. he explained some of the difficulties facing the rescue 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 very,

very 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, while severely damaged at the, the options are 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 that 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 as themselves may be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. so with the top stores of the week and more stories of the day to protesters are being killed and almost 20 injured by the french army in nature. that's according to local officials. it's 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 talbot re region where at spend the night in its attempt to break free use force leading to the death of 2 people and 18 wounded club, we have it from official accounts authorities in nyja, which say that after the french convoy had passed from burkina faso into niger about 30 kilometers in a huge crowd about a 1000 demonstrators tried to stop the convoy this this. busy fringe convoy,

friendship presents in the area has been unpopular with many people with some ethnicities. they believe all manner of stories about french troops and their relations with various rebel groups in the area. but they tried 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 scarce. we expect to find out more. but the convoy has moved on off to this incident again, a very ill fated convoy because it landed in the ivory coast to support the french operation in the area. it is

a sin snaked its way up towards the north towards molly and on the way it has said capital matter of incidents and book and facile liberal, multiple attempts, but by crowds in the thousands to 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 a birth people injured. as we've heard. busy but again, this convoy is now on its way through niger, 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. we have asked the french defense ministry to comment on the incident. we'll let you know what they say earlier. a french army spokespersons said the soldiers fired wanting shorts off their quote of violence group. tried to take over the convoy of trucks. well,

americans this week enjoyed one of the biggest holidays of the year. of course that have thanksgiving with prices soaring at the fastest pace in 30 years. many families had no choice but to improvise. ortiz. saskia taylor has more on the biden administration's inflationary headache 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. i'll buy does ratings. but don't worry because his right hand woman has a slight grasp of yes, you prices have gonna yes, they have probably why coming? 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 pot 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 shorten ideas where to buy things your cheap italian feast, i recommend puppy into your local branch of the dollar tree web. every item costs you guessed at a dollar for 35 years, that is been inflation popped along and it's now the $1.25 tree which might sound unprecedented and very, very bad. but actually, you know, inflation nothing more than biden's enemies spreading rumors. a lot of talk about inflation and nothing from you, but in general, out there has been of, 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 and 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 in the future or now. now and yes, bite and did release him 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 or,

and carefully says you make us 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 in green thing, president by whose energy policy is both weak and dom, but just as common has got a handle on inflation. the energy secretary knows his stuff, so don't worry. how many barrels of oil the u. s. consume per day. i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really missile. wonder that biden's pannier 2024. we run. if you want to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods a had risen of price the 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 to action as 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 le prices or go back to where they were before the pandora. but it seems like, as has been said many years by democratic politicians, are there not going to lead a good crisis going to waste and they're going to take every opportunity they can to get the sorts of policies and the sorts of platforms passed while they last okay, well just about wraps up the weekly for this hour here. we're naughty international though. it's been a busy week via headlines, a busy weekend as well with more story still to come the top of the hour for the meantime though. next naughty international. our exclusive discussion with the foreign minister of hungry discussing vaccinations and how to deal with the next cobra. waive mm. ah

ah oh mm mm. mm. hello and welcome to all the parts and all kind of gary an outage says that you can put everything under one hat, meaning that the same rules can be applied to everyone or everything. and again, this is exactly what would have his sign out to want to join the european union in 2004, quickly becoming europe's favorite. prodigal son accused over the years of all possible

sins against democracy. how does the organ government feel about its place and future in the european family? well, to discuss that i'm now joined by hon. grace, minister of foreign affairs and trade. there is here, though. it's great to see you again. thank you very much for the time. now you heard me referring to that folk wisdom about not putting everything under one hat, but i know that there is another saying in the hungarian language is kind of been advised about stretching. only as far as your blanket goes and i think the hungarian blankets, so to say goes pretty far these days. you're freakin guests and russia. you have a solid relationship with china and many other countries. but it says that in the european union, your home, your family, your country is still treated a little bit like on foreign terrible. why do you think that is a little bit? you know, there's a big debate in the european union now. how do you should look like in the future.
