ah, ah, the headlines you're naughty, international israel becomes the 1st country to close its borders to old foreign nationals due to a new cobit strain. the all micron variant is already spreading with the u. k. in the czech republic among the latest to find cases. also in your headline with my son is down there in the mine was his mother. i feel that he is alive, teens all the hot break as families mourn the loss of 51 people in a siberian coal mine explosion. a several managers and officials have been arrested over thursday's disaster. and 2 protesters are killed and almost 20 injured by the french military in nature. it's according to local authorities, reportedly after a french army convoy was confronted by rioters on the way to marley,

and also in the weekly soaring crisis, prompt american families to opt for low cost total substitutes over the thanksgiving holiday. with many blaming joe biden, for a 30 year inflationary record. ah, well, it's been a busy week for you. well, quite headline. so we're going to run down the top stories here with the weekly program, but also it's already a busy weekend as well. so today's headlines also being featured in today's program . so israel is now closing its borders to all foreign nationals for 2 weeks. as global panic spreads over a new cove at variant, a dozens of countries have stopped flights from southern africa where the americans strain was 1st detected. a mean time 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 already departed. a head of travel

deadlines imposed by various governments. although carry is off, offering flights to doha, undue by which our major connection hubs. but all corresponding fall asleep. earlier i spoke with travelers. south africa was biggest that i did because nothing i can do coming as a whole not getting anything that's the thing. i don't know when when i can, i can fly between. we've checked on the front and the flight wasn't consult. i think you can. you hear? i'm see, i'm 10 flights the way they do everything. so we're going to buy a new ticket, so they have 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 ticket sales counter. they're hoping it will open and there might be

a few things that they can still get on. many of them, a person, because the united kingdom was the 1st to read list 6, southern african countries. and in that any cabinet 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 destinations have followed quite a flight 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 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 it 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 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 f. s. a post is unclear as well, struggled to deal with the new 300 south africa. so actually, developers and preparing to test their drugs against this new strain and the head of the russian institute behind subordinate visa lab studies will start as soon as they get hold of a sample. so father research has all, apparently quite optimistic. hungary, in the meantime is one of the european nations using sputnik v and a study that has found that is effective against all previous cobra mutations. it's proven more successful in preventing hospitalization and death than other vaccines . the hungarian foreign minister discussed his country's immunization efforts with autism on a boy. you can watch it throughout the day here on auntie and walter pot. 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 5 year, another political, it's rather 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 $33.00 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 actions 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 western european colleagues of mine between for ice, they always tell me that they know that the russian scientific performance can be spoken about in very highly. and i said it was the best. of course it works well . hungary and experts have approve that. and regardless of the fact that privately, they all say that it goes to public by act totally differently. i know that 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, that hands obvious union and cyber lives by 5. i for that, why should i change quite that change? so that was the very simple reason of my decision to get me so actually makers should all work

together to end the panoramic according to a head of the russian fund. behind the sputnik reassure or interview, i should say my interview. i told him just a couple of days ago. career to me. 3. if you can find that interview right now with dot coms, he renewed pandemic clamp down across much of western europe has sparked widespread unrest. with classes with a police, although the european union is distancing itself from the top security responds saying that's purely a matter for national governance. ah, a bit since the european commission was not present at the scene of the riots and it's not a police organization and it is not in the best position to comment on the actual

release of the states. the maintenance of public order is strictly within the scope of the national authorities of the you states and is supervised by the national courts and european commission is not in the best position to make specific common order has been at an anti locked on protest. and the dutch city of rotterdam, there were $51.00 arrests, and 3 people were hospitalized after police fire warning shots. there were similar scenes in the hey, with 7 arrests being made there. and an austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy handed police respond softly announcement of mandatory covert shots. i've also been large scale marches across france and belgium. and while the e. e. e was refusing to condemn tough crowd control tactic as in his own member states. it does seem to take rather a different view when it comes to certain 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 their being union employees now autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand by the people are hung, barouche and staging to the streets. we smash protests and to arts. the violence against this peaceful protest us was shirking and unacceptable. we turned then, 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 protests to finish. but he think i spoke with piracy bass journalist, a local, we have a who thinks europe's views on human rights as sadly riddled with contradictions.

europe, the european union commission is 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, was the right one. so sanction we sanctioned be a mar if you're just don. an african countries, asian countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain. there is a double standard because i was astonished that he got a pin citizen to see that in that the leg one of the most democracy with countries in western europe. the police had to shoot with a real bullet 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 west of you're shooting directly and people walking. there were some problems just after the war, but,

but not that much. so ok, reasons, that work black blocks, you know, extremists were there in the groups then 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's there is a problem that obviously missed 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. s a minimum that she should say. search teams are working to retrieve bodies, marcia barian, cold, my and were an explosion killed 51 people on 1st or including 5 rescue was emergency crews. i've had to stop their work numerous times due to high methane concentrations and phase of further explosions. the remains of 5 minus had been found since saturday afternoon, 300 meters under ground, with the latest correspondent dmitri pock. now efforts to stabilize the mine 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 you, 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, you see if that man's pendant day down there and smiled means it's possible to survive. you haven't you but we are tall. people die in 2 or 3 hours. util, acclimated ski minus hang on to the rumble. they are already counted. his dad just like that man. his survivor was. ready 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. having spent almost an entire day

trapped inside the mind, the 51 year old alexander's a 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, to stand. are you able to see better now? yeah, but we want you seal gives him where all bursting with a crime that it all went well. well, i didn't do anything special. i simply battled for my life. a moral repost 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 criminal investigation has been lost,

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 2 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 safes eva issues. apparently, most of the miners knew about these issues and the reported them to the higher ups from the one that goes along slip. i remember my brother in law telling me about a methane program in the mine. they even had resorts to various methods to decrease the level indicators in order to get work done rules, okay. occasionally less his former head know about the situation. he wondered how he could work in such circumstances on the minds management was aware of what was going on with those. what has been 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 one minus happened to working at the moment. now, all of these reports will be taken into account by the investigation, which is trying to get 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 powell, arts, he camera or just remembered here on the program on our to let's have a quick look back now. and understand how this entire tragedy unfolded. a 50 dead out they horrific mon explosion inside barea. 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 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 amid fears. if possible. explosion without 30 mine is still missing. rescue is 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. 5 year term 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 was funny, a date with we got a reaction from a disaster investigator arnold dix. he explained some of the difficulties right now facing such 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 varies 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 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 there having been an 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 air which is still tenable. but on the other hand, the very real risk that rescue as themselves may be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. i still to come here on the weekly, on our t international this year as thanksgiving, and america was officially the most expensive in a history, the average turkey dinner costing 20 percent more than last year. that so my laptop stories in just a minute ah ah, ah, ah, with

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race. this on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i they'll see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk oh well it's good of

you join us here on this sunday program. a to protesters have been killed almost 20 injured by the french army in nisha. that's according to local officials. it's after a military convoy on route to marley, was apparently blocked by 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 tele bery region. where i had spent the night in its attempt to break free use force leading to the death of 2 people and 18 wounded. while we have it from official accounts authorities in nyja, which say that after 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. busy this french conway french, a presence in the area, has been unpopular with many people with some at felicity's. they believe all

manner of stories about french fruits and their relations with various rebel groups in the area. but they tried to stop this convoy and french troops supposedly began firing what they describe as warning. so as well as tier gas, it is unclear how wounding shots could have injured 18 people killed 2, but apparently french troops as well as an is jerry and troops began firing at warning shots again, as they say at these crowds details. the still somewhat scares me expect to find out more, but the convoy has moved on off to this incident again, a very ill fated and hung booked as 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 facile there will multiple attempts,

but by crowds in the thousands who stopped least probably voss called, was made up of more than a 1000 vehicles. and then also they had the flood warning shots as well as see a gas in an effort to disperse the crowds. also, number of people injured. as we've heard. busy but again, this call boy is now on its way through niger, intimately where friendship bases in french troops are station thousands of them. in this decade long flight that frances wage 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 that we understand earlier. a french army spokespersons said that soldiers fired warning shorts off the quote of violence group, tried to take over the convoy trucks, fl americans. this week enjoyed one of the biggest holidays of the year. of course,

that's thanksgiving with crisis soaring at the fastest pacing 30 years. many families had no choice but to improvise. ortiz at 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 biden's 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 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 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'll shorten ideas where to buy things, your cheap italian se 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. i'm 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 quizzes, 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 them 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, you know, 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 green thing president by whose energy policy is both weak and dom, but just is carmella has got a handle on inflation. the energy secretary nose has stopped. so don't worry. how many barrels of oil did you consume per day? i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really missile one to that biden's piney a 2024. we run. if you wanted to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods that 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 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 let prices 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 elect 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 they last. okay. thought that just about wraps up this. i was addition of the sunday weekly hero, naughty international. thank you very much for sharing a time with us here in moscow. it's been a busy week for you, headlines and, and even busy a weekend as well. another program. slater took rock here in about a half an hour's time. hope you can join us. ah mm mm.
