the last plains to europe in north america have all ready departed. they had a trouble deadlines imposed by government. although county years are still offering flies to do by singapore, which are a major connection policy earlier spoke with travelers of south africa's to biggest airport trade because nothing, nothing i can do coming as a whole not getting anything that's the flatter pain. and i don't know when, when i can, i can fly to sleep. we've checked on the front and the flight wasn't consult. i think you can you hear i'm, i'm 10, live the way up with you, but everything. so you'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 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 traveler coming from them would have to go into calling team for 10 days at a government affinity. since then, the united states, canada, and the european union and other main to destination, have followed prices for flights and rapid pcl taste of sky rocketing kim cur, who is the founder and lead volunteer of community circle home south africa had 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. yeah. 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 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 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 that 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 build with the new 300 south africa and a renewed pandemic, clumped on across much of western europe. her 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, 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 felt an anti locked on protests in the dutch city of rotterdam. for fuel arrests were made on 3 people, hospitalized after police fired warning shots. similar seen soon, the hague were 7 arrests were made. and in austria, demonstrators were met with a heavy handed police response after the announcement of mandatory cobra jones. there's also been large scale marches across france and belgium. and while the youth is refusing to condemn tough crowd control tactics in its own members, state said 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 today. threatened the fundamental freedoms of expression association and assembly in the russian federation, fish to the people in hong kong, the support of ebay and union toys now autonomy and fundamental freedom. we will continue to stand, my dear people are hung barouche and stitching to the streets. we smash protests and towards the violence against this peaceful protest. us was shirking 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, but he's a former newspaper and are a lucrative

a thanks brussels views on human rights are riddled with contradictions. europe, european union, europe in commission, this is all the land they think. we think somehow all europeans that we are gods gifted that we know what is good for the people in the world. we think that on human rights, our position is, was the right one. so sanction we sanctioned be a mar if you're just don, an african countries asian countries, china and russia. of course, the arch villain. that is the whole standard because i was astonished as he got a pin citizen to see that in the netherlands. one of the most democracy 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 the police in western here, shooting directly and people walking. there were some problems just after the war,

but, but not that much. so ok, go ahead the reasons that work black blocks, you know, extremists were there in groups demonstrating 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 misses 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 restraint. a minimum that she should say, a search teams are working to retrieve bodies from a siberian coal mine. we're in this explosion on thursday led to the deaths of 51 people, including 5 rescuers, emergency crews of how to stop their work several times due to high methane concentrations on fears of further busts, the bodies. so 5 minors have been fund of 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, but he's the only one. he's now in stable condition and hospital undescribed. what happened and 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 flow within. 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 might have been going around 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 destroyed family members are still hoping that there could be some miracle and that their loved ones could still be alive. yeah, i got my yes, 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 aunt. they 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 a 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 the garage and somehow managed to get out of that mine . his condition right now is stable, though critical, but it's expected that she 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 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 they reported them to the higher ups from the one that was going slip. 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 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 happened to working at the moment. now, all of these reports will be taken into account by the investigation, which is trying to get to the bottom of what happened, how it happened, what 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 or injured a list of their names on display. at the entrance to the mine medic say, they're making a strong recovery and are all in a stable condition. let's take a look back now. how the tragedy actually unfolded

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 a methane explosion, a fortune 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. with 5 p. m. november the 25th rescue operations suspended in mid fears. if possible, explosion with over 30 mind is still missing. rescue say there's not much hope left because it's minus have only 4 hours of oxygen supply. 10 pm november,

the 25th group of rescue workers fails to come up after the threat of explosion. latent 3 of them were found today. oh no, sir. i did with 3 15 pm, november the 26th. a presumed dead rescue work came out on his own raising hope among the desperate families of minus. it is not the 1st deadly accident in this mine. with another maintain explosion, claiming 13 lives in 2004. 0 yeah. 9 with yes. did you list you good spot? you wasn't funny. i was

in the aftermath of the tragedy. i got reaction from disaster investigator arnold dixon, melbourne. 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 at all suggests that there's been

a failure in the emergency and in fact normal ventilation systems. and then they, having bain an 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 tangible. but on the other hand, the very real risks that rescue was themselves my be injured or worse in their attempts to find them. here another story were across to day to protesters have been killed and close to 20, injured by the french army in niger amounts, 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. while we have it from official accounts authorities in nyja, which say that after 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 convoy fred check presence in the area has been popular with many people with some ethnicities. 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 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 as it seemed, snaked its way up towards the north towards molly and on the way it has said capital matter of incidents and book and facet level 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 number of people injured. as we've heard

. busy but again, this call boy is now on its way through nyja, intimately where friendship bases in french troops are station thousands of them. in the decade long flight that france is waged against terrorists it goulds them as well as religious extremists in the region. broadcast the of ticking us through that. we've also asked the french defense ministry to comment on the instant we'll let you know what they say earlier. a french army spokesperson did say 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, that's the fastest pasent 30 years, many families, and to improvise r t. saskia taylor house. more on an inflationary headache that many are blaming on the bike, the administration this thanksgiving. it wasn't that tachi 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 come and i decided 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 year's 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, 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. i'm 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 went to were probably see their energy bills jump by up to 50 percent, or those who might have not just a cold christmas, but a don't want to people who are monitoring the electric grid are incredibly concerned about brown, out or black out and wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, in the future or now. now and yes, bite and did release them 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, you know, make us want him to reopen the keystone pipeline. and unions that backed him in the elections. now slightly regret it. generally, there are too many fans of his own. that green thing president by whose energy policy is both weak and dom, but just as common has got a handle on inflation. the energy sack, which he knows has stopped so don't worry tommy barrel to build the u. s. consume

per day. i don't have it given how well things are going. it's really missile one to that biden's piney a 2024. we run. if you wanted to celebrate thanksgiving this year with only foods that 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 has 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 our to observe some sort of his goal. busy and monitor sobriety and what prices are go back to whether we're 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. busy and the sorts of platforms passed. walbridge ok, the u. k. government has ended hum us in its entirety to it's list of terrorist organizations that this might protest from the palestinian authorities. previously, only the military wing of the islamist group was on london's bound list. r t contributor richard met 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. just recently. she declared hamas a terrorist organization. now this isn't just for people who are members of hamas. 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 to redo it. we 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 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 pretty patel in a memorandum. they said that quote, hamas has emphasized more than once that his struggle is not against the jews or judaism, the 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 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 various 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, the government is taking away citizenship from anyone. they don't like, so all of this is going on in the u. k. at the same time and australia, australia is designated has bola terrorist organization, as my law 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 ban the organization altogether. now the latest to do that is australia . karen andrews, dom affairs minister said that has balla 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 villa 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 . what does hamas have to do with the united kingdom and they attack the united kingdom, 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 propose a credible threat or whether israel likes you or not. for its part, the u. k. government served the decision was based on the activities of hamas,

including rocket attacks against israel in may. this year, it also accused the group of preparing terror, tullocks, a rare glimpse next behind the mask of one of the most hated and feared activist groups in the world are documentary inside anti fha begins, and moment they close for that, goodbye. ah, who are all the driven by drill shaped banks? concur some of those with

dares sinks. we dare to ask a rate of love, an american patriot. a saturday, december 12th, where we've been homeless and when march to the capitol, 3 per centers and other races, bashes militia groups, are there his truck and one other truck pulled up right there. brazil got out as soon as his feet hit the ground. that's going all the other doors opened and

everybody was on this side of the road hold their.
