good ios, the owner, but outside the circle it will still be se odd to do. i also need ah, to absorb this out on the chrome new cove. it strained from south africa, spreads across the world with nations canceling flight snout, even keeping the fully vaccinated in isolation. shoplifting and vandalism, as the festive season begins, flash mol been smash and grab robberies. put us authorities to the test and store about parents. the school in texas who had their personal details posted online after they spoke out against critical race theory, a mask mandates. we speak to one of them. he posted our personal information, our addresses, and told the internet to, to attack us. another guy threatened a bunch of us at a school board meeting ah,

just into the afternoon monday, the 29th of december here of moscow. welcome to the program, live from ortiz world, use h q. my name is kevin owen, about 30 minutes of our latest for you, and 1st that alma cron is causing havoc around the world. the new coven mutations been highlighted as a variance of concern by the world health organization and has already been detected in multiple countries. there also fears it's highly contagious. even those who are fully vaccinated could easily get it. nations already started closing their borders to try to prevent its spread. while the 1st images of the new strain originally detected in south africa were published on line by italian researches. what you see here on the right is on the crown, on the left is the delta variance. the red air is showing that it's got more mutations this time around. it means that the virus is further adapted was not yet

totally clear. if it is more dangerous or not, but so while governments trying to work that out, many people have found themselves stranded in south africa as travel bands are imposed. i'm devastated. i feel let down by my government. we are relying on information on the internet. if no one knows what's going on, we have done everything. we are tripoli vaccinated, we've done everything is good citizens and now we on able to get home every day. heard for stress across the whole day was basically going to be with the children. we don't know when we will be able to make it now. 76 years old. very. it is a fear because of this. tom harkin, how can go to motor without see more family sunday, the countries president to pose a gate and say to the nation of grace in which he criticized the international community for making such a quick decision without enough research,

international community to reconsider options. but i think speaking to people who believe that this is a case of double standards, for example, we spoke to south african who is heading back to the united states and believes that part of the reason that he was taken off the plane was because he was south africa and they treated me like a common criminal, threw me off the plane. i didn't get my luggage back and told me, i'm not a problem. and then i said, what did i do? then i said, the cabin attendance said she told me 3 times to put my face, small thought, read the rules. it says you're allowed to take a few more. while you eating and drinking. i was doing. this was the new rule. it was total total paranoia from the store that i would in session. well, the thing that have been developing here in south africa are very emotional. the 1st announcement of this new strain was on thursday and it took the government and

it took the, the tourism industry, essentially completely by surprise. and within hours you had most of the world's airlines canceling. they fly. i've why just few days as the a port and say you have people who's been picked will fly in a matter of minutes. sometimes people will really on the fly, 10 minutes from take off. and then the announcement came that they had to get all supplied with people who were on the roof of the countries. and the planes were turned back. people here feel complete, he lay down. you have a strong feeling of people having being stranded because you have so many people who need to get back to work. who need to get back to families overseas and who often suck in south africa. why do you get vaccine 8? if you still con, travel, and if you still can be with your family, i have family in south africa. my sister lives in south africa, and i've not seen her in close to 2 years since the cupboard and my daughter. and i

was trying to south africa now to find any be with her and her family. i think it's important, but the us is doing and around the world to be cautious, especially not knowing what the new variant is doing. but it's also on the same point, very frustrating and upsetting for what it's doing to people around the world and not been able to see their families. now what's important to notice is that coming up to the tourism month here in south africa. busy the month of december and for the last 2 years because of covert industry has at the kind shop 3, talking to people here. they say that this is now going to the end of the south african truism that when so much money in, you have a problem here in south africa where there are millions of people who have not been vaccinated and who refused to be vaccinated for 30. the international community of the course of that, at the same time, the scientist in south africa has come out to say that this new varian has been depicted in many countries around the world. and they believe that south africa

should be congratulated for being the 1st to identify and come forward with the information rather than being solely blamed for being responsible for freighting. for slayer and janice bird, the advisor to the italian health authority says the current preventative measures are only having a limited impact on the new straight and it could be a reality for years to come. meantime, the u. k is reintroducing quarantine in a government mandated hotel. people coming back from the south africa and britain's health secretary also believes cove. it's going to be with us in some form forever . he was asked to learn to live with coven, we will never defeat it. we have to learn to live with it. we have to learn to live with it as we have learned to live with flu. of course it is not flu and we need to learn more about in cases of omnicom have already been discovered in germany in belgium, the czech republic. and there are at least 13 cases in the netherlands that came

after a flight of individuals came in from south africa. now, in a separate development dutch, please had to read a plane just before it was about to take off. after it emerged that 2 of the passengers on board had been in a quarantine hotel and had escaped from that desperately trying to leave the netherlands to try and get home as that panic is spreading. it turns out that the quarantine hotel that they had escaped from, there were individuals who had presented with the omnicom strange, you really get a sense of just how scared people are at the moment. some individuals are now facing a lengthy stays in quarantines, which are incredibly costly, particularly in the u. k. for me there is just no ways i can afford 50000 rand, which is equivalent to 2 and a half 1000 pounds to be in a hotel in london. when my home is around the corner and, and i live on my own,

we are consult oscillate. and secondly with the job that i was meant to start. if i'm now i'm starting approximately 3 weeks later, which means i'm 3 weeks without a seller which is basic, have worked it out, which is basically my rent money for the month. i'm a british citizen, i've lived there for 23 years. i have to find a way the government has to do something about the hotel quarantine and people are up in all that got government con, make these rulings and then expect their citizens to pay for it. you know, for those who were fully vax, as we heard from those individuals facing problems from south africa, they really thought the, perhaps this pandemic was about to be over, at least for them because they followed all the guidance. they done everything that they were asked to have done. so this must be coming now is a bit of a cold shower for people in europe to realizing that having 2 or 3 jobs just isn't enough. when we faced these new strains that we know so little about in france, the french health ministers resigned to the fact that omnicom will be found here

and says that the government needs more time to look at it. we don't use if you don't, and with only to you since it's circulating in the u. k. italy in belgium, it's probable that there is a case in circulation and france. researchers are looking at whether vaccines must be modified, but it's too early to say, since it was only discovered a few days ago. scientists who i spoke with on the telephone yesterday, including internationally say we need a period of around 10 days to know more. meanwhile, the ministers, the health ministers from the g 7 countries will meet later on monday to discuss this new variant and how it possibly can be tackled at the same time as the experts are really left in a situation with a race to understand exactly what this mutation means and what that means for the a fight for the end of this pandemic. we try to find out some more research, an expert on rare diseases from george mason university in the u. s. he tells us it's not clear if curve axis can give enough protection from the new varian. look,

caught on the windows, also kept chance to meet friends in korea. that great question to solve right now for sand just is, was that a particular way? where in those, the viruses of final with him, or to dissuade and good to be by nature to lucian, loves the virus tours of the will. up in 2 more extreme, even thought of that away from my original blueprint. so he would know how my chair, immunity from that current look since feed the been meets the new version of corona why it was a want to chrome alls of since spike nick astrazeneca and also other may rooks in us, fraser and my dad and all of them where do similar engine, but i should say there is one thing rich is given me hold for spite me cooks in particular that this because i've been the window book since bread use a little bit, the water right spread them unit it. it's not just on they bought just but

a little bit the war or was if you sell it response and you fell, it is fonts is not. is that the sensitive to the new imitation cells? a virus. because the spite, nick, is the strongest outdoor for either and in the vital works. since and here i'm talking only about johnson johnson and the astrazeneca and spike accompanying those 3 out of those. that is us putting it is the strongest one a chance that because that also help us john good a potential and that you felt orange. you might want to let the strong could drop in the amount of anti boy just knew that it was a protection it was western government pushed this citizens to get a boost a shot. will household musicians expressed opposition to rich nations extending their nok elation programs, while vaccination rates remain low in poor countries, across much of africa, for example, less than 10 percent of the population has had

a single dose. no more vaccines should go to countries that have already vaccinated more than 40 percent of their population. until clover has the vaccines, it needs to help other countries get to know more boosters should be administered except to immunocompromised people. most countries with high vaccine coverage continue to ignore our call for a global moratorium on boosters. so a good plan and we discussed it with a professor molecular, oncology, lauren, she on an independent nurse me, bennett. it would make no sense to ensure that most people at least get their 1st dose of the vaccine love and then pushing for people to have the the booster. but then i think, oh importantly, we have to look at the efficacy of the actual vaccine because we still know that people who have some photos you can still pass it and then also still and be

affected by the virus off in as one of the issues that i think they should be willing to. now i've seen that education is key because we do still have a lot of hesitant people not we're not wanting to take the vaccine. and also just really, it just seemed quite unfair that they still mandated in ice is now mandatory that health workers should have the vaccine. i think it should also include education, the immunity generated by vaccination. decays. it over time, particularly actually in the elderly, the most vulnerable, and certainly up to 6 months. these folks clearly have, are really significant embarrassing that in real world data from israel, for instance, where they rolled out the booster campaign. so we can see the value of boost shot, you know, various are going to continue to be generated. ready was always of ours is allowed to spread, particularly in countries. indeed like south africa, where vaccination rates are lower than what this emphasizes the need to control the pandemic at the global level as well as locally. and it's all,

it is in all our interests to support the role of boxes across the world. and we shouldn't be in a position we're having to choose should be supporting the increased manufacturing distribution to vaccines. and we should choose between boosters for the most vulnerable and elderly and whether or not somebody else who hasn't been backside he gets their 1st job. so has the covariance spreads across the world, u. s. president joe biden main time, and the mayor of san francisco's while facing a public backlash up to violating their own mask mandates. wanna read more about that? you can it said our site today, a wave of smash and grab robberies showed us during thanksgiving and the weekends. black friday, sales. as many pointing out that the police seem to be overwhelmed with the level of crime that are up to the christmas holidays. just around the corner. people are asking if authorities can actually keep their city safe with hands, apparently tied by new policies. so can tailor reports. remember the days of good

cop bad cop? while back on in case you missed a memo. now every cop is a body. well, we need to completely this not. so let me upload police department. i know . often towards floyd's my people came for policing, budgets were slashed forth with a no go stop and such without accountability was in. so where are we now? while the politicians who pull the money plug, leaving police departments high and dry, might feel safe from that gated communities. but for the rest of america, while from coast to coast from small town to big cities, crime is on the rise. one year and the biggest annual spike of homicides in 60

years later states now trying to false truck return to the good old days of law and order to reverse the tide of rising crime. we need to stop the matter demonizing and sabotaging the dedicated men and women who risked their lives every single day to keep the rest of us safe enough is enough. we cannot de fond the police. we need to re fought the police. instead of less funding, we need more investment and public safety and a knife in the back of the democrat, lawmakers everywhere, almost 90 percent of marilyn's black voters back him. because if they have been most affected by fewer patrol cars in the neighbourhood, and this isn't a one off this year, has seen a wave of pro police candidates be elected all across the country from liberal seattle, to minneapolis, the very place george floyd died at the hands of

a police officer, the list really does go on. it turns out that lol assess is not as exciting in real life as it is in the weston's. and for the democrats already terrified of the mid term blood bath, this could be a death now, already blue republicans, the proud gun toting law and order party a polling 8 percent higher than democrats nationally. it's almost like voters have realized that it's one thing to shout, to slow going to make a gesture. it's another thing to come up with a real game plan. it does not present any sort of plan for what will come after. there is no specificity as to what services would provide what law enforcement would look like. what residents can expect. police might be back in demand, but it looks like too little too late. the usaa saying, record numbers of offices leaving the force and recruitment numbers away down despite all types of incentives to boost them. when you start treating those who

hunt for criminals as the criminals themselves, then also willing to go out and take a bullet few, a lot of the competent people who would make good police offices, a refraining because they feel that they can go to prison for doing their job, 3, a police officer, you put your life in jeopardy. now some feel they're not protected. the criminals have more rights than police officers today. the car for what you wish for what started as a catchy slogan and a bid to be with the photos turned into a radical agenda that's been kind to criminals and cruel to the lawful seems bringing against mask mandates and critical race series, apparently enough these days to get your ducks in texas case in point parents that claim a member of a racial equity committee in a local school district, publish their personal details on the internet. they claim the ridicule for their views on c, r t, in the legal case, challenging mass mandates told daniel was on the list and explain just what

happened. we filed a lawsuit against our local i s t that was to block and illegal mask mandate. as a result of that, we got a bunch of kick back. this one lady who talked us, she's on what you call a racial equity and diversity advisory committee and posted our personal information and our addresses and contact information our businesses and so forth and told the internet to, to attack us. there was another instant also another guy threatened a bunch of us at a school board meeting, climbing. he's going to bring a 1000 soldiers and so forth locked and loaded. we. we've reported it to the school district, was reported to the city and to the mayor. targeting parents to disagree with policies becoming more more common in the u. s. there was another incident reported

in the era in arizona recently a school board president, there was accused of collecting a dosier on parents that included social security numbers and financial records reports on that week or so ago. although he denied any involvement, he was sacked from his post critical race theory as well as mosque mandates. have been causing so much tension between school boards and parents that had save and come to the attention of the president. one association cited threats from parents and compared the acts to domestic terrorism with us attorney general and the f b. i now involved a told, daniel explained to was why parents are standing up to school officials after the mask lawsuit. and we were joined by many people and, and we just keep finding more and more problems. you know, our, our school district is a, is about a, a d level by state average. so that means we have 3rd graders. busy that can't reach out to, to grade level,

and yet they spend millions of dollars on putting a social justice and equity and diversity training into everything. it's political . they use equity in diversity to actually re institutionalized racism. you know, they call themselves anti racist. but they're, they're really races. we're fighting back, we're trying to get rid of it at the state level and in our school level. um, and so it's a big problem in the state of texas and all over the country actually that i've been networking with, with other parents and actually teachers that are frightened and terrified that this is, this is taking over our education system in the united states. the 1st funerals of miners and rescue has killed in last week's mine. explosion in siberia has been held. the accident played the lives of 51 people and still an ongoing search for more victims. with more on the impact on the local community.

dimitry, poker polls was an incident such as this, the tragedy goes far beyond simply those who lost their lives. we met with the larry who had worked at the siberian coal mine for decades. the people who died in the aftermath of the explosion were his old time friends. he was lucky not to share their fate. media with him or not by 2 or 3 years ago, i used to work in the section where all the people have been recently killed. they were my friends on that day i was off. i was working in the garret when my colleague called me, he told me that he'd heard one of the employees talk about a convoy of ambulances rushing to the mine, or what i mediately got in touch with one of my friends. and he confirmed that another friend of ours who worked in that section didn't get out here. well, that's how i found out. this isn't even the 1st accidents this man has seen at this mine what was in both cases he lost his friends and coworkers, who as he claims,

had to work under increasing pressure from management. but him, you remove the label. there was another explosion which occurred in 2004. yes. when i used to work exactly in that area of the mine. but that was completely different story. 13 people died since then. it looks like something has happened to the mentality of people, perhaps different type of people who've been hired in the management. i don't want to accuse anybody or sound baseless, but in my view, it all resulted from an unbridled crave cole is not my business to reflect on how much coal is needed and how much money has to be made as of where there was much pressure for more coal supplies, and of course, all our guys always had it at the back of their minds that actually everything could happen. in fact, the criminal investigation is looking into what exactly led up to the accident and stories like malaria are all being taken into account to figure out what happened. why and whose negligence ultimately caused 51 people, their lives,

and any of them lives right here in lennon's cuz nest essentially a minor city with population of just over a 100000. most people here are miners or at least know somebody who is. so that means that the accidents add the live version a coal mine has it very close to home . but despite the magnitude of the tragedy, work in the mine will eventually resume. and while the life of a minor is not easy, the larry says people in the region don't have many career choice. so they go under ground. read, you know what to do with your money. will people just do that? job's they go to the coal mine say that your worst case scenario is always on the table or going into the game of chance. look, that it isn't true, that man is descend to die. it isn't true and they won't give up. it's not correct to say that it's scary down there in the minor if it isn't true. however, what's happened is dreadful. the accident caused many people their lives. and while

it is a great tragedy, the larry is thankful to the authorities. as they are quick to offer support here that would seem with former, i'm sure every body will be provided with financial aid. every family with the children will be supported with will get help with paying for university. phase 2, there is no doubt that such incidents have happened in the parsonage and help always kate, immediately. the larry's perspective on this incidence is shared among many of the miners living and working here and the central russian camera of a region. and while this horrific accident has taken a huge toll on people, especially those who lost their family members, life will inevitably go on. but hopefully with some changes and measures that will prevent anything like what happened in the siberian coal mine from ever repeating. it's been months now since america's chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, there was still hundreds of paces,

a combat equipment and weapons littering the country. but upon for the military hardware, there's also a huge trade at the moment. and some of the smaller items left behind by coalition forces. multi front correspond an antoine clara reports from cobble despite the hasty departure of the american military in august. if there were still traces of their presence in co, both for example, shops where you can find a variety of things from the old american bases in the country. very jacket, trousers, shoes, cats, i, bag bags as well as binoculars knives, competitor's sleeping bags. this like an alley bob was a cave mcgowan in. we get them through bag room. this is what they were using during the war. they're selling now and it's just for those and those room people mainly buy things for fishing and hunting. they also buy some things as gifted light t shirts with afghanistan written on them, and other things will excuse not presume, have been his phantom it exist. there's also some evidence of france, his participation in the afghan war, for instance, this blue white red badge,

or this key chain of the colors of france ref, and the international assistance and security force commanded by nato a longer term. but some grocery store still have rugs initially intended for the u . s. military or little press gone, for example, a soldiers rations or what's even more surprising resolves the tales. the consumer looked over in these things were left by the americans. i don't know how, but they returned them to bagram and we're still selling them. they sell them to us and we trade them at the market. but after the eventual departure, the americans, the gold mine, dried up, this us her business, we can't complain. but because the long story short is become difficult, the presence of the american bases afghanistan empowered a whole small sags of the economy that's now slowly disappearing. however, it's still possible to get several good deals, passive financed across all the latest for new cove, it varied and was known so far. and what is maybe got to mean for all of us around

the world all over. there are the stories at r t dot com. that's not reporting for moscow. my name is kevin, i can stand by for an ag shows in your part of the world, and thanks for watching out international, the global ro, custer, life and russian. oh, driven by dreamer shapes banks concur. some of those with dares sinks. we dare to ask

you a tool that was bad for your eyes and your post yard that it would stop you from having real friends and finding a girlfriend. but what they fail to mention is that you could make thousands of dollars every weekend by simply playing video game, or dentist. they should be using a couple of them for the. so we formed the fusion, but it's a little property that we thought georgia was me, the president. okay. much for to do so please don't don't. of course to make video games a high paying job. you have to be gifted and quick with it. hang on to a spike, surgical installation and fitness to live near bottom. and miss thompson with produce park even established yet gala boy, when you mouse storm you my video it out or you me. i was at kneels, few guy of the order, but i would that be cool. it will still be se odd to do. i also use

ah with hello and welcome to stock where all things are considered. i'm funeral about legacy media continued to prepare a western audiences for a military conflict and ukraine. another war of choice. also the united states doesn't export much these days, maybe, except for so called values, or those values attractive anymore. ah. to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest workers papadopoulos in london. he is a historian.
