ah, israel becomes a 1st country to close its borders to all foreign nationals due to a new cobit strain. the ami chrome variant is already spreading locally, australia, italy, among the latest to protect cases. also, my son is down there in the mind as his mother, i feel that he is alive along with the stories that shape the weak, the scenes of heartbreak as families more in the loss of 51 people in a said berry and coal mine exclusion. several managers and officials have been arrested over thirst is disaster to protesters or kill down over a dozen more injured by the french military in niger,

according to local authorities. after an army convoy on the way to mildly was confronted by rioters on soaring price is prompt american families to all for a low cost turkey substitutes over the thanksgiving holiday. with many blaming the biden administration for 30 year high inflation re let ah, with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly and r t a little welcome. israel is closing its borders to all foreign nationals for 2 weeks as a global palm express job renew cobit variant. dozens of countries have holsted flights from southern africa with the army. chrome strain was 1st detected in johannesburg, the restrictions of laughter, passengers rumbling to get odd for many of them. it's already too late. the last

plains to europe and north america have already departed ahead of travel deadlines imposed by governments. although carriers are still offering flights to do hard to buy and singapore, which are a major connection up policy earlier, spoke with travelers at south africa's biggest report are strange because nothing, nothing i can do coming as a paul. it's not getting anything dead with spain, and i don't know when, when i can, i can fly to say we've checked on the air fronts and the flight wasn't consult. i say you can you hear? i'm see, i'm 10 of your clients the well with and send you but everything. so when it was gonna buy a new ticket, so ms. chaos and diety 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 port in a pace for the attempt to get on any remaining slice. 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 insist that any traffic 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 has followed prices for flights and rapid pci, skyrocketing kim cur, who is the founder and lead volunteer of community circle home south africa ads for the last year. been hoping travelers in south africa navigate the regulations. 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 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 the children home. the sense of loss is going to be felt because people are feeling like they are really trapped. and they're becoming more and more frustrated and see more and more tis what i'm hoping is that governments can put measures in place that not just citizens, but family of citizens. if you can show just show proof of some ty to that country, that those people will be allowed entry. even if it means extra p c r testing. or it means a little bit of quarantine with retesting in that country. that people have to understand that these a human beings. he's a people who have got a need to travel, not a once. he does not care where the army con, very and 1st image that scientists from south africa when the 1st to a nick welt help organization. the south african government has criticized

international community for rushing to ban travel before the variant is property, assist, 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 struggles to deal with and you think 20 fiarty, johannesburg, south africa. well, a renewed pandemic, clumped on across much of western europe, a spark wide spread streets on rest, unclean. as with police, although the european union is distancing itself from the tough security response, saying that's purely a mater for national governments. ah, 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, aunt and auntie locked on protests in the dutch city of rotterdam. 50 want to rest, remade on 3 people, hospitalized after police fire warning shots. similar scenes to in the hague were 7 arrests were made. and in austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy 100 police response. after the announcement of mandatory covert shot. 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, fresh to the people in hong kong. the support of living in union toys now autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand. my dear, people are hung below. russians have teaching to the streets. we smash protests and to arts, the violence against this peaceful protest us was shortened and unacceptable which undone this brutality and spect, oh, full in transparent investigation, yet or is pretty sad. i would like to read to rate 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 protested furnished. but if he could form a newspaper at her liquor, evey,

thanks brussels views on human rights, are riddled with contradictions. europe to 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 sanction, we sanction be a mar if you're just done an african conversation countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain. that is a double standard because i was astonished the senior 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 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 your shooting directly and people walk. there were some

problems just after the war, but, but not that much. so ok, go ahead, good 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. right. that's there is a problem that obviously mrs. funder lang should say something, even if it's not aimed at the dutch government for right now, it should be aimed at old government's asking for restraint. that's a minimum that she should say. another big story of the week, still ongoing search teams are working to retrieve bodies from a siberian coal. mine were an explosion on thursday led to the debts of 51. people including 5 rescuers emergency crews have had to stop their work several times to, to hi miss in concentrations and fears of further blas. the bodies of 5 miners

have been found at various stages and saturday afternoon, 300 meters underground. there had been a moment of genuine hope. burger, when the 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 undescribed. what happened? 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 groupons 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 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 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 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 to survive, but we are tall. people die in 2 or 3 hours due to lack of air minus and on to 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 still many family members who haven't lost hope. and their hope was only bolstered by the miraculous recovery of a rescue worker who was presumed dead on friday. having spent almost an entire day trapped inside the mind, the 51 year old alexander's a garage and somehow managed to get out of that mine. 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 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 a 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 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 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. he thought 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 condition of our minus hacked 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 well among the survivors of thirst. this explosion, dozens are injured. a list of their names is on display of the entrance to the mine medic say they're making a strong recovery under all in a stable condition. let's take

a look back now how the tragedy actually unfolded. 6 over 50 dead out, they horrific mon explosion inside barrier. 8 30 am november the 25th. the mind with 285 people inside filled with smoke after him methane explosion. so small up with 9 am november 25th vacuum ation 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 operations suspended in mid fears if possible. explosion with over 30 mine is still missing. rescue a se, there's not much hope left. it's minus have only 4 hours of oxygen supply. 10 pm

november, the 25th group of rescue work has failed to come up after the threat of explosion. latent 3 of them were found today. oh good. yeah. no, i didn't. oh, good. i do do it in plus years 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 is it is not the 1st deadly accident in this mine. with another me said explosion claiming 13 lives in 2004. i is only just yesterday, a list you good on, you wasn't funny with

interest the strong family there. well, i got reaction from disaster investigator arnold dick's. 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, while severely damaged at the, the options are very limited. a recovery operation in circumstances like this is extremely dangerous. it's extremely dangerous because in the 1st instance,

the fact that the disasters occurred, it all suggests that there's been a failure in the emergency and in fact, normal ventilation systems. and then they, having bain an 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. 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 risks that rescue themselves may be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. to protesters have been killed and close to 20 injured by the french army in niger that is, according to local officials. it occurred after a military convoy on route to another african nation. 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 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. 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. busy fringe convoy, friendship presents in the area has been unpopular with many people with some, at least it is, 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 warning 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 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 facet level multiple attempts by, by crowds in the thousands who stop 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 tier 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 soups are station, thousands of them in the decade long flight, that frances weight against terrorists it goulds them as well as religious extremists in the region. murat, gusty of a, we've asked the french defense ministry to comment on the instant, and we'll let you know what they say earlier. a french army spokesperson said that soldiers fired warning shots after a quote violent group tried to take over the convoy trucks. and instagram influence or from chin is here, has been slum. and after a post thing about her report had secret crossing to italy on a boat with migrants. this is the video that the girl posted surrounded by fellow migrants in a boat. according to italian reports, the social media creator arrived on the island of lumper do so. she claimed severe social conditions, engine is here,

forced her to seek asylum in italy and describe the experience of the boat trip as terrible. this was some of the reaction during a clandestine crossing on an irregular boat, a to museum influence, it publishes instagram stories and photos, joyful and smiling. i leave the commons to you. we cannot allow easily its laws and its board is to be marked in this way. law politician from italy's, the league party who he spoke to also criticize the influence her over the voyage. yeah. me or my yeah, i love it. it's a real shame when people arriving in italy who do not need to come. people who are not hungry 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. unity and blogger, those who are really poor, remained in africa and dying of hunger. it is in africa that we should try to help them and not via these n jose and via what amounts to illegal immigration on europe must help us to stop

these landings. they arrive in sicily, too many migrants arrive in 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 mike or and but in reality they do not realize how many difficulties there are for italians. and for us to syrians who are experiencing a really difficult period. well, it really is one of a number of european countries experiencing a surgeon asylum claims you. k, france relations recently took a new turn for the worst after a french president among the mac, chronic keys for his chunks, the feeling to offer any kind of solution to the cross channel of my room crisis and the bella roost. poland border remains tense as well, prompting the bell or russian leader to visit one of the migrant centers. now the mirror of lump tusa said europe must have a rethink on migration. so, so,

so say the solution is easy. europe cannot delegate the task of welcoming migrants to certain states. europe must assume its responsibilities more should be done, but the question is, why does europe not want to tackle the issue of migration? there is no strategy to keep migrant away. it doesn't exist because migrants would bypass the obstacle and we're still come to italy, even pussy. it was 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 who do not know where to send. our reception sensor is suffering. there are too many people. the politicians are not thinking about it right now. we are collapsing, we can't go on like this from the you. we have received only indifference and from the italian government also indifference. the u. k. government has of it hum us in its entirety to its list of terrorist organizations. that's this by

protest from the palestinian authorities. previously, only the military wing of the islamist group was on london's bound list. r t contributor richard med. hurst gave us his take on the move pretty patel the home secretary in the united kingdom. you might recall just a few months ago. she tried giving journalists 14 years in prison if they published classified documents, which is, you know, totally not authoritarian, but guess what? she has more surprises for us to just recently. she declared hamas a terrorist organization. now this isn't just for people who are members of how much you can go to prison. even if you quote, express an opinion or belief that is supportive of hamas. whatever that means. frankly speaking, i don't think patel prescribed hamas, the terrorist organization because hamas constitutes a significant threat to the united kingdom. i think she's doing it because israel wants you to do it. you have to remember pretty patel was forced to resign from the british government. just a few years ago because she was having secret meetings with the israelis. now until

now the united kingdom is only outlawed the military wing of hamis. but now the u. k. is banning the entire organization including the political wing. the thing is, you're not just talking about some random group or organization you're talking about a political party. if to remember that hamis has been empowering garza since 2007. now the home secretary says that this step will strengthen the case against any one who waves a hamas flag in the united kingdom. an act that is bound to make jewish people feel unsafe now has actually responded to protell in a memorandum. they said that quote, hamas has emphasized more than once that his struggle is not against the jews or judaism, rather against the occupier of our land and those who carry out aggressions against our people. now at the same time, another thing pretty patel is trying to do is make it easier to strip people of their british citizenship. she stuck this draconian law inside the nationality and borders build, which is making its way through parliament at the moment. basically, if she can take away your citizenship without even telling you, if it isn't

a reasonably practicable to notify you again with his abstract terms, with this vague language. actually she doesn't even have to tell you at all if it's in the interests of national security, which is basically the textbook excuse every government gives when they're just about to do some shady authoritarian nonsense. so far, they've only used this for terrorists and people who are guilty of very severe crimes, but that's how it always begins. once they've set this precedent and, and people just acquiesced to this. and before you know what the government is taking away citizenship from anyone, they don't like to why all of this is going on in the u. k. at the same time in australia, australia is designated has bola terrorists, organization has mala also has a political and a military wing. but of course some western countries pretend that they can differentiate the 2 and they just proceed to band the organization altogether. now the latest to do that is australia, karen andrews, dom affairs minister said that has my law quote, continues to threaten terrorist attacks and provide support to terrorist organizations and poses a real,

incredible threat to australia. oh yeah. you remember that time has walla attacked australia? no, yet neither do i see this is the interesting thing here. this is part of a larger trend. why are all these countries in the west banning organizations? they have no connection to what those has been left to do with australia or the you with us. hm. i have to do with the united kingdom, and they attack the united kingdom or germany, or whoever. no, because lebanon, palestine on the other side of the planet. what does that teach you? he teaches you that in the west, the definition of what constitutes a terrorist organization. it's not necessarily whether you actually posed a credible threat or whether israel likes you or not. for its parts, the u. k. government said the decision was based on the activities of hum us, including rocket attacks against israel in may. this year. it also accused the group of preparing terror attacks. allah tis a recap of the news week that was will bring you more at the top of the hour

a do hope you'll give us some of your company on time then. bye for now. ah ah bill. and he really so thing the cars right on police report is in all caps in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. sell out a film crew access for 3 months. so if people organization, if an idea that it must be a pose a channel out the gate while they may kill their faces. but they can say what they believe in. we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten proven. this is

a chance to see who and t for really are in order for me to extract my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter to be on to the teeth with the dental america. we can't trust the police, we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in 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 on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with

me. hello and welcome to wells fargo and all kind of gary and add a says that you can put everything under one. meaning that the same rules can be applied to everyone or everything. and this is exactly one put up as sign up to want to join the european union in 2004, quickly becoming europe favorites, prodigal son, accused over the years of all possible sins against democracy. how does the organ government feel about its place and future in the european family? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a hungry 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 your time. now. you've heard me referring to that folk with them about not putting everything under one had. but i know that there is another saying in the language is kind of an advice about

stretching only as far as your blanket goes.
