governments. although carriers are still offering flights to doha, dubai, and singapore, which are major connection hubs. but earlier artist paula slid, spoke with travelers at south africa's biggest that are strange because nothing is nothing. i contin coming as april. it's not getting anything dead with spain and i don't know when when i can, i can slice is thing. we've checked on the air fronts and a flight wasn't consult. i say you can you hear? i'm see i'm 10 of your clients. see? well, with thank you but everything. so when it was gonna buy a new ticket, so miss k austin zion 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. 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 destination have followed twice a flight and rapid pcl taste. skyrocketing kim kirk, who is the founder and need 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 get their 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 a human beings, he's a people who has got a need to travel, not a once. he does not care where the army con variant can expect. scientists from south africa when the 1st to the next, the wealth, hope organization, the south african government has criticized international community for rushing to ban travel before the variant is property safety 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 about struggling to deal with can you point to fiarty johannesburg, south africa? so now vaccine developers are preparing to test the drugs against the new coping strain and the head of the russian institute behind sputnik v says lab studies will start as soon as they get a hold of a sample. so far, researchers seem pretty optimistic. a hungary in the mean time is one of the european nations using sputnik v and a study there has found that it's effective against old, previous covert mutations. and apparently is proven more successful in preventing a hospitalization and death than other vaccines. the hungarian foreign minister discussed his country's immunization efforts with ortiz oaks on a boy. i was showing the full interview all day today in worlds of pod. 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 we knew in the lives of the people. what is it for them as far as the 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 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 vesta and 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 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 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 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 rush that obvious union and cyber lives by filing for that. why should i change quite that change? so that was a very simple reason of my decision to give me so vaccine make it should work together to end the panoramic. that's according to

the head of the russian fund behind the sputnik v. short for our interview with carol demitria, just head over to r t dot com for now, with the program renewed pandemic club down across much of western europe, a spark widespread unrest. clashes with police, although the european union itself is actually distancing itself from the top security response, actually saying that's purely a matter for national governments. ah, with that since the european commission was not present at the scene of the riots, and it's not a police organization or 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 forties 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 lockdown protest. and the dutch city of rotterdam, there were $51.00 arrests, and 3 people were hospitalized off. the police fire warning shots were similar scenes in the hague as well. with 7 arrests made and in austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy handed police respond soft to the announcement of mandatory cove. it shows are also a large scale marches across france. i'm the belgium, while the u, as refusing to condemn tough crowd control tactics in its own member states, it does seem to take rather a different stance when it comes to certain other countries. the attention 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 now autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand by the 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 to finish. but he spoke with a power space journalist luc live, i who thinks your it was views on human rights, are riddled with contradictions. europe to european union european 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 old was the right one. so sanction, we sanction being mar if you're just done an african countries, asian 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. 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 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's dearest 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 restrained ass, a minimum that should say search teams are working to retrieve bodies from a siberian coal mine where an explosion killed $51.00 on thursday. that's including 5 rescuers emotions accrues of how to stop their work, a number of times due to high methane concentrations on fears of further explosions . now the remains of 5 minus have been found since saturday afternoon, a 300 meters under ground. the death toll was only a revised down woods after a rescuer who had been presumed dead managed to crawl out. his survival was

described as a miracle. he's now in a stable condition in hospital and describe what happened. and i feel better now that i'm getting all the necessary treatments inside the mine. i was lucky to find a place where the fresh air was flowing in. so that gave me time to lie down and get my strength back. i had all the life save in groups with me. later i stood up and got out full of the scream of fresh hair and finally met the local rescuers team for which i'm thankful. now efforts to stabilize the might have been going round, the clock and 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 destroyer 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 matter was found alive,

you see if that man spent a day down there and some, i mean it's possible to survive. yeah. when you but we, i told people dying 2 or 3 hours due to lack of made it minus an on to the wrong oh, here. oh, ready counted his dad just like that. matt has survive lose. 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, 51 year old alexander's look of ash and somehow managed to get out of that mind hid collision right now is stable, although critical, but it's expect live actually will make a full recovery and make it back to his wife and son, but unfortunately the same can't be sad 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 mind 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 one rosco's. honestly, 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. okay. occasionally less his former head know about the situation. he wondered how he could work in such circumstances on the mornings management was aware of what was going on. vehicles, my husband came home and every time he was saying this 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. so, 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. dimitri power r t camera among the survivors of thursday, explosion, dozens are injured. a list of names is now on display at the entrance to the mine medic say they're making a strong recovery on our old now in a stable condition for a moment. let's look back and understand how this tragedy unfold. 6 over 50 dead else they horrific mine. explosion inside barium. 8 30 am november

the 25th. the mind with 285 people inside filled with smoke after a methane explosion. so small enough 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 bears if possible, explosion without 30 mine is still missing. rescues 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 work has fails to come up after the threat of explosion. latent 3 of them were found day. oh,

good luck. on friday, 8 am. oh, good. i do believe swamped with 3 15 pm, november the 26th. a presumed dead rescue walker came out on his own brazing hope among the desperate families of minus. it is not the 1st deadly accident in this mine. with another me said explosion, claiming 13 lights in 2000 full. i understand midland lee just yesterday realistically, what will on you was funny. if you did we did get a reaction from a disaster investigator on old dix. 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 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 or severely damaged. at the, the options of very limited 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, 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 as a now facing on the one hand. and there's the possibility that people may be trapped in areas with air which is still tangible. but on the other hand, the very real risk that rescuers themselves may be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. i said to come here on the program manase international. this year's thanksgiving holiday in america was officially the most expensive and u. s. history where the average dinner costing 20 percent more this year. that is among our stories off the break we are back in 62nd. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and

getting to resist. i'll see how that strategy will be successfully very critical time. time to sit down and talk to rob is driven by dream shaped banks. concur some of those with there's sinks, we dare to ask a

ah, the top story or the week of the day. welcome to the weekly on r t. now to protesters have been killed in almost 20 injured by. the french army in need year is according to local officials. that's off to a military convoy on route to molly was blocked by a large scale demonstration. the convoy of the french ball kane 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 club we have it's from official accounts authorities in nyja, which say that off to the french convoy had passed from burkina faso into niger about 30 kilometers in a huge crowd about a 1000 demonstrators. and try to stop the convoy this,

this french convoy fred check presently, area has been unpopular with many people with some at felicity's. 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 supposedly began firing what they describe as warning shots, 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 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 conflict because it landed in the ivory coast to support the french opperation in the area. it is since snaked its way up towards the north towards

molly and on the way it has said capital matter of incidence and book in a fashion that will multiple attempts but by crowds in the thousands has stopped. these cottonwood voss convoy made up of more than a 1000 vehicles and then also they had the flood warning shots, as well as t, a 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 niger, intimately where friendship bases and fridge 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 also the french defense minister to comment on the incident. we'll let you know what they say earlier. however, a french army spokespersons said that soldiers fired a warning shots off to quote,

a violent group tried to take over the convoy trucks. all americans this week enjoy one of the biggest holidays of the year of cost us thanksgiving, with prices soaring that the fastest pace in 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 up items 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 comedy decide to take advantage of a walk chip to paris to drop a cool 400 dollars 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. but 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 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 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 and letting 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 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 slightly 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 secretary knows has stopped. so don't worry how many barrels of oil did the u. s 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 thanks giving 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 has tremendous social pictures, role is devastating. the bite 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 pandemic. 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 don't care either wrapped up the weekly for this hour here, live on odds. he international now about half past 1 in the afternoon here at moscow. a unit o'neill at the desk in half an hour's time cuz it's been such a busy week and a busy weekend for your world wide headlines unit here. soon with more of your top stores. ah.
