the world upside down. people are rushing to the 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 menu button, because the united kingdom was the 1st to read list 6, southern african countries. and in that any traffic coming from them would have to go into calling team 14 days at a government facility. since then the united states, canada, and the european union and other major destination have followed twice for flights and rapid pci. skyrocketing kim kirk, who is the founder and lead volunteer of community circle home south africa. as for the last year, been hoping, traveling in south africa, navigate the regulation. she's been inundated with calls apart from people running out of money. yeah. funds that they had that they had thought that was going to cost them to be medical aids usually only cover you for

a certain amount of time abroad. travel, medical cover only covers you a certain amount of time that's going to run out. people have to get back to jobs. schools are going to open soon, and the people trying to 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. but people have to understand that these a 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 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 well. struggled to deal with the new 300 south africa will vaccine developers are preparing to test their drugs against the new cobit strain, the head of the russian institute behind. but an increase, a lot of studies will start as soon as they can get hold of a sample. so far though, researchers are optimistic hungry is one of the european nations using sputnik v. a study there as fun, the job is effective against all previous coven mutations. it's also proven more successful in preventing hospitalization and death than other vaccines. the hungarian foreign minister discussed his country's immunization efforts with our

teeth out of boys go the full interview run throughout the day in our program world apart. here's part of it. 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 territory of 2 ways. first, by the european madison agency, which is a normal, let's say business of usual way of approving gave action. but a european regulation says that in case of the state of emergency, this one, the national regulators, are allowed to approve of axioms. also, on

a temporary basis, before we started to use both scrutiny casino far from china, the national regulator of ours has approved the use of both, which means that the use of its britney 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 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 it goes to public by act totally differently. i know that you, you have plans off actually producing split, 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 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 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 russia and obvious union. and since i'm alive, fi, fi, life for that. why should i change quite the change?

so that was the very simple reason of my decision to get me or should i talk about vaccine makers work together to end the pandemic? so say the head of the russian fund behind this negative be shot r t dot com. carrillo dimitria flescher's. i'd that statement in a wide ranging interview with our shuttle, it's available. renewed pandemic clumped on across much of western europe. how spark widespread st on rest and clashes with police. although the european union is distancing itself from the tough security response thing, that's purely a matter for national governments. ah hm.

with that since the european commission was not present at the scene of the riots and it's not a police organization, it is not in the best position to comment on the actions of the police of the e. you states, the maintenance of public oda is strictly within the scope of the national forties of the e you states, and is supervised by the national courts. and the european commission is not in the best position to make specific comments. well, let's go through some of what's been going on an anti locked, i'm protest in the dutch city of rutter dom earlier this month. 50. want to rest, remade. 3 people, hospitalized after police. fire warning, shouts, similar scenes to here in the hague. 7, arrest made. and in austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy handed police response after the announcement of mandatory co, but shelves. there's also been large scale marches across france and belgium

ah, a former newspaper letter, lucrative a things. brazil's views on human rights are riddled with contradictions. let's have a listen to look reveal. now the detention of over a 1000 demonstrate and violence used against them by the russian authorities across the country to day. threatened the fundamental freedoms of expression association and assemble in the russian federation. fish to the people in hong kong, the support of the union for years now autonomy and from the mental freedom. we will continue to stand my get people are hung, bella russians have taken to the streets. we smash protests and towards the violence against this peaceful protest us was shirking and unacceptable

which undone this brutality and expect a full and transparent investigation. yet, oh, but he said, i would like to read to re, 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 here in it. but if he could, europe, european, union, european commission, 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 sanction being mar if you're just done or african countries, asian countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain isn't the whole standard because i was astonished as your 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 west we're shooting directly and people walking. there were some problems just after the war, but, but not that much. so. okay, good. good 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. grey that's dearest. pull that, i'll see, missed on the ranches, say something, even if it's not aimed at the dutch govt for right now. it should be and at all government's asking for restrained ass, a minimum that she should say in moving the program on the search teams

are working to retrieve bonnie's from a siberian coal mine or an exclusion on thursday led to the deaths of 51 people including 5 rescuers, emergency crews have had to stop there at work several times. due to high me thin concentrations on fears of further blast. the bodies of those 5 miners refunded various stages 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 not in stable condition in hospital and describe what happened and, you know, i feel better now that i'm getting older, 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 met the local rescuers

team for which i'm thankful. now efforts to stabilize the might have the going around the clock and nitrogen has been used to clear out the dangerous methane 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 destroy family members are still hoping that there could be some miracle and that their loved ones could still be alive. yeah. yeah, 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 of eyes. but we are tall, people die in 2 or 3 hours due to lack of air. mine is her aunt at their bramble. they are already counted. his dad dislike. that man has survived. now it's hard breaking to watch those scenes. there are still many family members who haven't lost hope, and their hope was only bolstered by the miraculous recovery of

a rescue worker who was presumed dead on friday. having spent almost an entire day trapped inside the mind, the 51 year old alexander's the govern, ashan 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 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 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, the even that's resorts to various methods, to decrease the level indicators in order to get work done. he occasionally let his former head know about the situation. he wondered how he could work in such circumstances. the minds management was aware of what was going on. he thought my husband came home and every time he was saying this won't and well, all the sensors for a beeping down there. he sat, that's the conditions our minus hacked to working at the moment. now all of these report 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 well among the survivors of thursday's explosion. dozens, sar injured. a list of their names is on display at the entrance to the mine medic say they're making a strong recovery and are all now in a stable condition. let's take a look back at the tragedy actually on for a. 6 good 50 day, don't they? horrific mon explosion inside period. 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. a 5 pm november the 25th rescue operations suspended in mid phase 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, no. i didn't, and i do believe club. can you come 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 lisa lisa, just yesterday, a list you thought was move on you up with well i got reaction to happen from disaster investigator arnold dicks. 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 that these rescue was now facing on the one hand . and there's the possibility that people may be, i'm trapped in areas with a, which is still tangible. but on the other hand, the very real risk that rescue was themselves my be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. let's turn attention on the program now to africa,

to protesters helping kills and close to 20 were injured by the french army in niger that is, according to local officials. it occurred after a military convoy on route to molly was blocked by a large scale demonstration. the convoy of the french volcano force, escorted by the national gent armory, was blocked by very violent protesters in sarah, in the 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, well we have it from official accounts authorities in nyja which say that off to 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, 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 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 at warning shots again as they say at these crowds details still somewhat scares we expect to find out more. but the convoy has moved on off to this incident again, a very ill fated convoy because it landed in the ivory coast to support the french operation in the area 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 there will multiple attempts by, by crowds in the thousands who stopped these cottonwood. voskus void made up of more than a 1000 vehicles. and then also they had the flood warning shots as well as tier gas in an effort to disperse the crowds. also an birth people injured. as we've heard. busy but again, this convoy is now on its way through niger, intimately where friendship bases and french troops are station thousands of them in the decade long flight. that frances wave against terrorists it goulds them as well as religious extremists. in the region. we've asked the french defense ministry to comment on the incident 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 on

yeah. more my yeah. love it. it's a real shame on people arriving in italy who do not need to come people who are not hungry or coming. they're coming to us to italy because they want a better life. but in fact, they're not bad off economically, like this to ninian blogger. those who are really poor, who remained in africa and are dying of hunger, it is in africa that we should try to help them and not via these n g o z and via what amounts to illegal immigration. europe must help us to stop these landings. they arrive in sicily to many migrants arrive, and europe is not helping us. a big show is made out of these crossings. in addition, in italy, there are many people who think they are being good and say they want to welcome migrants. but in reality, they do not realize how many difficulties there are for italians and for us to cillian who are experiencing a really difficult period. lately is wallen, of a number of european countries experiencing a surgeon asylum claims you care. france relations recently took

a new turn for the worst after french president manuel mc kron accused. boris johnson of feeling to offer any kind of solution to the cross channel migrant crisis. on the belarus, poland border remains tends to prompting the bell russian leader to visit one of the migrant centers the merv. lampa deuce essays, europe ought to have a rethink on migration so, so i so say the solution is easy. europe cannot delegate the task of welcoming migraines to certain states. europe must assume its responsibilities more should be done, but the question is, what did you not want to tackle the issue of migration? there is no strategy to keep migrants away. it doesn't exist because migrants would bypass the obstacle and was still come to italy, even pushing it walls to control boulders would be useless, their laws and documents that should be respected and that europe itself does not respect. there is no end to all this. the situation is always the same, nothing has changed. here in lamp inducer, there are no places to welcome every one. we have more than 300 under aged children
