europe and north america have already departed ahead of travel deadlines imposed by government. although carriers are still offering flights to do dubai and singapore, which are major connection hubs wirelessly or earlier spoke with travelers out south africa's biggest trade. because nothing, nothing i can do coming as a poll. not getting anything that's faint. and i don't know when, when i can, i can fly to sleep. we've checked on the air, france and the flight wasn't consult. i think you can, you hear i'm, i'm 10 replied the way. they do everything. so we're going to buy a new ticket. so they've 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. many of them a question because the united kingdom was the 1st to read list 6, southern african countries. and in that, any travis coming from them would have to go into colon team for 10 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 pcl, tast skyrocketing kim cur, 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. 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. the 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 i'm fee 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 p c r testing, 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 one. it is not clear where the army con, very 1st emerged, but 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 variant is properly assessed. 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 struggled to deal with the new 300 south africa was led to another big race vaccine developers are preparing to test their drugs against the new coven strain on the head of the russian institute behind sputnik v . se lab studies will start as soon as they can get hold of a sample. so far, researchers are optimistic. hungry is one of the european nations using sputnik v. they study their as fun, not the job is effective against the all previous covered mutations. it's also proven more successful in preventing hospitalization and death than other vaccines . the hungarian for administered disgust, his country's immunization efforts with our teeth on the boys who will be showing

the full interview in worlds, a part in iran. 20 minutes time for no though. here's a small part. 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 whether a political and ideological debate, i'm very frustrated about that. to be honest. and i tell you why your appeal regulation speaks very clearly about hallway vaccine, can be approved on the territory 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 vest or european colleagues of mine between for i, they always tell me that they know that the russian scientific performance can be spoken about in very highly. and they said 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 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 lots, especially at the beginning because, you know, at the beginning, i mean, like 1st part of this year, the deliveries from western producers were quite sometimes late that 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 ass putting of all be. i think it's 8 vaccines that i 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 russia that on soviet union. and since i'm alive,

fi fi and i fought that. why should i change quite sure that jane. so that was the very simple reason of my decision. it is vital law that vaccine makers work together to end the pandemic. so say the head off a russian fund behind the sputnik the shots. the full interview with carol demetrius is available right now on our t dot com renewed, pandemic clump done our calls much of western europe has sparked wide spread st on rest and clashes with police. although the european union is distancing itself from the tough security response, saying that's purely a matter for national governments. ah

ah, since the european commission was not present at the scene of the riots and is not a police organization, it is not in the best position to comment on the actions of the police of the you 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. no arthur and anti locked, i am protest in the dutch city of rotterdam. there were 51 arrests and 3 people hospitalized after police fired at warning shots, similar scenes in the hague, were 7 or estimate and in australia. so during the week, demonstrators are met with a heavy hon police response. after the announcement of mandatory coverage shots,

also, large scale marches across france and belgium has been seen while, while the e u is refusing to condemn tough crowd control tactics in its own member states, it takes a very different view with other countries. the detention of over a 1000 demonstrators and violence used against them by the russian authorities across the country to day threatened the fundamental freedoms of expression association and assembly in the russian federation. fresh to the people in hong kong. the support of in union toys now autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand my dear people are hung barouche and have taken to the streets. we smash protests and towards the violence or doing this piece will protest. us was shortened and unacceptable. we turned 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 is your name. becky, good or former newspaper editor. look, reveal. thanks brussels of yours on human rights, are riddle with contradictions. europe, the european union, european commission to see 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 done an african countries, asian countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain is the whole standard because i was astonished as he got a pin citizen to see that in the netherlands. one of the most, the more state of our 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 walk. there were some problems just after the war, but, but not that much. okay, go ahead to reasons that work black blocks, you know, extremists were there in the groups demonstrating but still in western europe, shooting with real bullets and the crowd. and then we have lessons to give to other countries. gray, 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 restrained ass, a minimum that she should say. c a big story of the week, still on going no. a search teams are working to retrieve bodies from

a siberian coal. mine were an explosion, kill 51. people on thursday, including 5 rescuers. emergency crews have had to stop their work several times to, to high methane concentrations on fears of further blasts. the remains of 5 miners have been fallen since saturday afternoon, 300 meters underground. there had been a moment of genuine hope earlier when a rescuer who had been presumed dead, managed to get out. his survival was described as a miracle. he's now in stable condition in hospital and described what happened. i feel better now that i'm getting all the necessary treatment 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 saving equipment with me. later i stood up and got out following the stream of fresh air and finally my the local rescuers team for which i'm thankful. 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 mine and poses a risk of explosion. now at this point, there are literally no chances that anybody has survived to was trapped inside. however, the distraught family members are still hoping that there could be some miracle and that their loved ones could still be alive. yeah, i got my dad, 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 an 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 so 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 a garage and somehow managed to get out of that mine. 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 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 mind has been plagued by safety issues. apparently,

most of the miners knew about these issues and the reported them to the higher ups from the one roscoe long sleeve. i remember my brother in law telling me about a methane program in the mine. they even had results 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 those. 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 our minus have 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 bodies. relatives are still distraught and demanding more answers. dmitri powell,

arts, he camera among the survivors of thursday's explosion. dozens are injured. a list of their names is on display at the entrance to the mine medic say they're making a strong recovery under all now in a stable condition. let's look back now how the tragedy actually unfolded. 6 over 50 dead out. 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

authorities and now there is no contact with at least 37 people. 5 pm, november the 25th rescue operation suspended in mid bears, if possible. explosion with over 30 minute. still missing. rescue a say there's not much hope left. 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, good luck. on friday, 8 am. oh, good. i deal with 3 15 pm, november the 26th. a presumed dead rescue work came out on his own raising hope among 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. this is only just yesterday, a list you good school on you was funny in with 2 protesters help being killed and almost 20 injured by the french army in nice year about is according to local officials. it occurred after a military convoy on route to molly. you 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 club. we have it from official accounts authorities in nyja,

which say that after the french convoy had passed from booking a facet into niger about 30 kilometers in a huge crowd about a 1000. demonstrators tried to stop the convoy this, this french conway, french, a presence in the area has been unpopular with many people with some ethnicities. 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 reportedly began firing what they describe as warning salts, 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 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 opperation 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 at a facet level multiple attempts by, by crowds in the thousands has stopped these cottonwood voss called voice 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 whole voice is now on its way through nyja, intimately where friendship bases in french troops are station thousands of them in the decade long flight. but frances waged against terrorists. it equals them as well as religious extremists in the region. murat gosti of taken us through hans,

we have asked the french defense ministry to comment on the instant on the let you know what they say earlier. a french army spokespersons said that soldiers fired warning shouts after a quote. violent group tried to take over the convoy trucks. americans this week enjoyed one of the biggest holidays of the year thanksgiving, but with prices soaring off the fastest pace and 30 years. many families hunt to improvise ortiz. saskia taylor has more on an inflationary headache that many are blaming on that by the administration this thanksgiving. it wasn't the talk he hoping for a pardon, but the president because at this point, the only thing that's not been hit by a patient 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 coming? i decided to take advantage of a walk trip 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. yes, 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 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 is 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, oh, 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 went to were probably see their energy bills junk by up to 50 percent. all those who might have noticed a cold christmas, but a dark one 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 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 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 sack, which he knows has stopped. so don't worry, probably barrels of oil does us consume per day. i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really missile. wonder that biden's piney a 2024. we run. if you want to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods a had risen a 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 are 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 and the sorts of platforms passed while they st. ok, he agrees place in the european family as a strained one. so moving forward will budapest seek closer ties with the block or seek to place their own path? countries foreign minister tackled up big issue next in conversation with accelerate on worlds apart. mm

hm. mm sure they don't seem an official, mr. but you're somebody that that the from to check out the uh huh. yeah. and some dinner the wash of dispassionately and walk you through the phone. yeah. you should be good and there's actually a lot on evan here beside bexla, me at the with in another she can usually sit almost by you. so what i'm going to look up in video it to, to test on since she lives. right? yes. the key moment sich, she's leeway as she shared with

oh mm mm mm hello and welcome to all the parts and all kind of gary an adage 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 orb and 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 is here. i don't mean to say 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 and they can gary language is kind of been advised about stretching only as far as your blanket goes. and i think the hungarian blankets, so to say it goes pretty far these days. you're free from 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.
