the restrictions of laughter passengers scrambling to get out for many of them. it's already too late. the last plains to europe in north america have already departed ahead of travel deadlines imposed by governments of the carriers are still offering flights to door to buy and singapore, which our major connection fall asleep earlier spoke with travelers of south africa's biggest airport because nothing, nothing i can do coming as a whole, not getting anything that the pain and i don't know that when, when i can, i can fly to we've checked on the front and the flight was in consult. i think you can you hear? i'm see, i'm telling you why the way they do everything. so we're going to buy a new ticket. so they chaos anxiety and confusion. following the discovery of a new coven variant called me 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 they 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 prices for 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 an 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 that was going to cost them to be

here. 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 are human beings. these are people who have got a need to travel, not once. it is not clear where the con, very 1st emerged. scientists from south africa with the 1st to note the world

health organization. the south african government has criticized international community for rushing to ban travel before the variance 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 f. s a port is unclear as a both struggles to deal with the new 300 south africa vaccine developers are preparing to test their drugs against the new cobit strain and the head of the russian institute behind sputnik v. say's lab. so these are going to start as soon as they can actually get ahold of a sample. but so far, researchers, they are optimistic. now hungry is one of the european nations using but let me study there has fall enough. the jump is effective against all previous cobra. mutations, it's also proven more successful in preventing hospitalization on death than other vaccine. gary and foreign minister discuss his country's immunization efforts with

our teeth or tele boys. we will be showing the full interview and worlds apart later today for now, here's part of 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 as far as the political mother of 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 how way 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 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 splitting 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 euro can colleagues of mine between for i, they always tell me that they know that the russian fire defect 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 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, the gate begins a 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 ends 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 put nick of all be. i think it's a vaccine that i approved for use in hungary. why did you do that reason for my decision was crystal clear that when i was a kid, i was vaccinated by rack scenes produced in the rush, defense,

obvious union. and cyber life i filed for that. why should i change quite that change so that, that, that was the very simple reason of my decision to get me it's vital vaccine makers work together to end the pandemic. so say the head of the russian fund behind this sputnik b sharp on r t dot com career demitria flesh is thinking in a wide ranging interview on this available line. renewed pandemic clump died across much a western europe passport widespread st. unrest on clashes with police, although the european union is distancing itself from the tough security response, saying that spurious matter for national governments. ah hm.

with that 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 earlier this month at an anti locked and protest in the dutch city of rotterdam. 51 arrests were made on 3 people, hospitalized after police fired warning shelves. similar scenes to in the hague were 7 arrests were made on here in austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy handed police response. after the announcement of the mandatory covert

shells, there's also been large scale marches across france and belgium. and 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. fish to the people in hong kong, the support of libyan union, foyce, now autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand. my dear people are hung below. russians have 30 into the streets. we smash protests and to ours. the valence are doing this peaceful protest. us was shirking and unacceptable which undone this brutality. bennett dispatched

a full and transparent nearest edition yet, oh, but he said, i would like to reiterate 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 hers. but the former newspaper, andrea, lucre of a thanks brussels views on human rights, are riddled with contradictions. europe, european union don't have been commissioned all the land. they think we think somehow old europeans that we are gods gifted that we know what is good for the people in the world. we think that on human rights, our position is always the right one. so sanctioned people we sanctioned be a mom if you're just done an african conversation countries, china and russia of goals, the arch villain. that is a double standard because i was astonished as he got a pin citizen to see that in the netherlands. one of the most of the sticker on 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 the press, but 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 off the wall, but, but not that much. so ok. reasons that was black loss. 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 mrs. founder lang should say something, even if it's not aimed at the dutch government for right now, it should be and at old government's asking for restraint. that's a minimum that she should say. can updates on a big story of the week. 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 to stop their work several times. true to high methane concentrations and fears of further blasts. the remains of those 5 miners were fined at various stages since saturday afternoon, 3 ritz 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 a stable condition and hospital on the scribe. what happened 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 saving equipment with me. later i stood up and got out following the stream of fresh air and finally met 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 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 aunt at their bramble. they are already counted his dad just like that. matt 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 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 for the others who are trapped inside the mine. 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 safety 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. they even had 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 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 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 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 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 at how the tragedy actually unfolded a. 6 good 50 day. don't they? horrific mon explosion inside barium. 8 30 am november the 25th to mind with 285 people inside filled with smoke. after a methane explosion, a with 9 am november 25th actuation and rescue work starts. reports of 1st casualties

authorities and now there is no contact with at least 37 people. 5 pm, november the 25th rescue operations suspended in mid fears of possible explosion with 30 mine is still missing. rescue a se, 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, good luck. on friday, 8 am for a 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 just, yesterday a list you good on you up with well i got reaction from disaster investigator arnold dix. he explained some of the difficulties facing search cruise. it's not like on hollywood. you can't send emergency services in so day, so far with technology, even today's technology to getting there safely. the area has to be made safe. typically in a mining accident when something like this happens. vit. there is no simple solution. this is the, the worst nightmare of, of anybody who's involved with mining. they usually aren't other options when the

ventilation systems being compromised, when you've had the explosions, when the systems are destroyed or severely damaged. at the, the options of very limited a recovery operation in circumstances like this is extremely dangerous. it's extremely dangerous because in the 1st instance, the fact that the disasters occurred at all suggests that there's been a failure in the emergency. and in fact, normal ventilation systems and then they having bain and explosion, um it means that many of the safety systems, a likely now to be in operable. and i suspect certainly it's been, it's my experience, but that's the sort of difficulty. but these rescue as a 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 was themselves maybe injured or worse in their

attempts to find them. he, of course, any and all that, that story we will bring them to. let's bring you know though, to africa, to protesters have been killed and almost 20 more injured by the french army in niger that is, according to local officials. it occurred after a military convoy on written 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 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 french convoy 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 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 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 envoy because it landed in the ivory coast to support the french opperation 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 incidence and book in a fashion that will multiple attempts by, by crowds in the thousands who stop these cottonwood vos convoys 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 convoy is now on its way through nyja, intimately where friendship bases and french troops are station thousands of them in the decade long flight that frances waged against terrorists. it cooled them as well as religious extremists in the region. murat garcia who we have asked the french defense ministry to comment on the incident on we'll let you know what the 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 up the fastest pace in some 30 years. many companies had to improvise and do about some of the trimmings. ortiz husky, tara has more on an inflationary headache that many are blaming on the, 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 comedy decide 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. 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 feast, i recommend puppy into your local branch of the dollar tree, where every item costs you guessed at a dollar for 35 years. that is then inflation popped along and it's now the $1.25 tree which might sound unprecedented and very, very bad. but actually, you know, inflation is nothing more than biden's enemies spreading rumors a lot of talk about inflation, nothing from you. but in general, out there has been 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, wait, wait, in the future or now. now and yes by did, did release some next oil barrels to fight rising energy prices, but some think he's just covering up the real problem. his own energy policy. that's why 14 states suit biden for stopping oil and gas leases. lawmakers want him

to reopen the keystone pipeline, and unions that backed him in the elections. now site, you regret it. generally, there are too many fans of his all that green thing president by whose energy policy is both weak and dom, but just is carmella has got a handle on inflation. the energy sack, which he knows has stopped. so don't worry how many barrels of oil did us 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 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, stealth 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, they're not going to let a good christ is going to waste and they're going to take every opportunity they can to get the sorts of policies. busy and the sorts of fun forms passed, washed. ok. a rare glimpse next behind the mask of one of the most hated and feared activist groups in the world are documentary inside unsafe begins in moments they close for a i

thought i saw a message from an unknown account because it had a self re, with my passport as its profile page, i saw pictures of my documents. it was they also sent a credit contract. i had just 3 days comply with their demands to see if i didn't send money i. they sent out an online hate campaign that i was supposed to be very dangerous man. with assurance, i don't seem an official. i'm with the spiritual someone at that the school to check up on a some did the wash the discussion instead of it. i want to say that the phone yeah.
