it's about my dad owns this are on the chrome spreads to 24 countries with the united states becoming the latest as the w h o signs the alarm, we look at how different countries are responding to the latest strain of cove. it also this hour we visit a child care clinic in moscow is more and more younger patients are needing treatment for the virus through our children are age from one mom or 70 new the conditions varied severity. her children harris, severely l. like in the intensive care unit and america faces the highest rates of inflation and decades, while corporations are enjoying record profits. we look at new concerns though, for the economy following the omicron outbreak and students protested university in arizona for and against the acquitted murder, a car written has his right to attend the classes.

ah, hello there, good morning. it's gone 10 o'clock harry, moscow, you're watching arte international. now the united states has registered his 1st case at the new cove id, fairy and omicron. the victim is fully vaccinated, has mild symptoms and was returning from south africa. south korea and norway have also seen their 1st cases well within with $24.00 countries now affected the world health organization says it's spread is inevitable. europe, meanwhile, is considering mandatory inoculations and ye restrictions with more his peter oliver sweden right now, where from wednesday we seen vaccine passes having to be shown if you go to any public gathering now, there are some issues with that because not everybody in sweden is able to get that required vaccine pass even if they had job. now,

if your residency is being processed or if you got your jobs outside of sweden, elsewhere in portugal, what we're seeing is the government there a see what's called a state of calamity. it's the 2nd highest state of alertness in the country, and what it means is that they're going to be bringing back in things like mass squaring in public. you're also going to need to be able to show either a negative test or a vaccine certificates. if he has to go into bars, jims, restaurants, hotels, or cinemas. now european chiefs are having serious discussions about a mandatory vaccinations being rolled out across the e u. it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now. and how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination and within the european union, one country that is already said it will be implementing mandatory jobs is austria

that set to come in. in february, the country is currently in a, a full national lockdown. it's supposed to be in that, at least until the end of this week, it can be extended through until the 13th of december. however, that's moved, not gone down well with some people who built a lot every day. new rules besides the health system should have been improved, like you and i don't understand why we should pay the price for that. la michelle, isn't that a relatively many people in austria? do think the virus doesn't exist under think they're stand above everything that hurts me a bit because these people are sometimes really dumb vision, a fish in austria say they didn't want to have to bring in mandatory vaccination, but their hand is being forced in this issue. we haven't once dismissed, we didn't want to vaccine mandate. let me make that explicit sex scanned, that 20 months on for missed out of the pandemic. we are in

a situation that is dramatic. if you look at intensive care units at hospitals. oh, finish off in germany, where the country recorded the highest coven death rate. since february of this year, 446 people in the last 24 hours dying with covered 19 in germany, we are going to be looking ahead to angular merkel. and the german government meeting with state leaders in that country on thursday, we're expecting to hear of more developments, perhaps more restrictions put in place in germany as well, which are all of a reporting. then i, cove it is no longer a disease that only affects elderly people and those with pre existing medical conditions. but doctors now warning that young people are becoming more susceptible to new variance. we visited a child health clinic here in moscow. ah,

ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they in fuel? our children are age from one level to 17 years and conditions varied severity for children who are severely hale and in the intensive care unit. but unlike huddle, a co related pneumonia is less common of m children, but it still happens. listen showing 3 to full and c t severity period for my part . so this means complete lung damage, almost 100 percent or store or what is especially alarming is not very importantly, just like an adult. there's a tendency for the disease to rapidly develop. meaning that at some point, you know, 10 percent of the launch are effective. and then suddenly it's up to almost 100 percent. yes, that's exactly what we've been seeing here, especially when parents wait too long to call a doctor fiscal. how old are you?

10 years out there. exactly. how do you feel? no, sometimes i have a headache, but i'm okay. that's not a my. how long have you been ill? 10 days already? no, yes, i'm in my 2nd week, which are age puts a risk, which is we've actually seen the highest incidence. right among teenagers, 2 thirds of the children escalate kenwood between the 7 and 17, but he is all why is because they are hanging out together and contact and each other all the time. right. among other things, yes. is it in you now to them? it's mostly tmj is up to come and thank them because they always hanging out together here also because statistically, they demonstrate a more severe cause of the illness than individuals of other ages to go get rid of them because their bodies are growing so fast. and because of their hormonal processes, yes, mono bye grounds, and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more at the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease. or if you chew

it, the name is and in their money is it is not a harmless disease. it's not sorry. how do we sound alarm? and there is a disease for which there is no medicine. we have to day the course of the disease is unpredictable. we don't know why someone has it hard and someone else has the easy human. we, as we know there are risk groups, but for some unknown reason we severe case of the disease and i can be observed among healthy children. ah, here's a child and eventually wearing an oxygen mask. well yes, the child is really missing his mother, which is logical. that's why we always talk to him. the doctors are always with him . otherwise, he can tear off the mask that children are getting much sicker than in the 1st way . and worse than the 2nd. and 3rd or yes, worse than waves 2 and 3, which is just as you are for, for a new for complications develop very often as the coded. i do not depend on the severity of the disease. even children who have shown no symptoms,

face complications. what do you think about vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea. you're dreaming, it hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children. are also a source of infection, which if children are not vaccinated, we will not be able to grade the necessary collective immunity, which will have all been talking about for so long that works in that are both in the vaccine works. so what should the concerns be here? the theoretically, we understand that this vaccine cannot be more dangerous than ada. no virus infections. some of the vaccine is infectious for cells, but not for the body in between. at the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce the earth, was any real sinew, priesthood. ah. now while the world health organization does insist that people at the moment should limit traveling wear masks and get vaccinated, south africa, which identified the homer con very does continue with life pretty much is normal.

the shops and restaurants remaining open policy reports from their pm south africa approaching a new po the positive case per day. now this is a 20 percent increase on what the figures were just a few days ago before the commute valued emmy conduct was discovered. the world hide and wifi and you'd imagine that south africa to wait for 1st came forward and i've been to fight train. you'd have people here with who are just to fight in officer the waste on open. nobody and people fees, social discipline thing. nobody is wearing moss. i'm one of the people can just, i think i'm the only person who's wearing them off and even that is on my turn being out is, is, or is it is friday by. you can also not limit your life living in fear, because if you live in fear, you will always be consolidated to those circumstances that you are in for like

going against rule. so we don't, we don't, we not very law abiding citizens in many cities around the world. you have to show a passport when entering a restaurant. in other words, keeping vaccinated, giving south africa. no such thing exists. and this is a country way 70 percent of the population has not been vaccinated and the entry boxes are using and that's new on the, on various booth at vaccinations. don't be anything you need to do in south africa when entering a restaurant. it's put on some sen, the only gets an entire and sometimes it gets scream to sometimes don't get screamed temperature or which the temperature to sit in mean back off when. well, some people can go to a restaurant during the 19th, but because of the ignorance, nobody actually take it into consideration. so i feel like the safety protocols letter please put in place and not enough to ensure that everybody is safe. you can only assume that everyone is vaccinated because you would never know. so if you

vaccinated, you did your pockets to south africa to the population, to the main. com. he said that there is enough information known about when we conduct that stage not to justify for that restrictions. however, he has more that he might consider mandatory destination for some activities and for some location. it's the situation to terry. in the meantime, the sub to open, the restaurants are open to schools open. you can travel anywhere in the country. you want. you can wear moss, keep enough, where moss, you can social distance, you cannot social distance. in fact, what more africans are afraid of is not a locked down, rather than i'll be con, policy r t to hand is the south africa. be modeled, omicron could potentially be another play to the global economy with financial institutions, raising the alarm over spike and inflation. jew in part to supply chain issues come up and has more on that with inflation as their excuse us corporations,

excluding the financial sector, are now jacking up their prices. the biggest corporations are now raking in the highest profits they've made since 1950, according to the u. s. department of commerce. meanwhile, average americans are getting squeezed on everything from food to fuel. when you hear about taxation being super low, you know, i'd like for it to be an increase that everybody pays their fair share. that's fantastic for corporations. i'm not sure trickles down to middle class or lower income people. it is disgusting and patch level and i think it is an example of unbridled capitalism. lawmakers are demanding answers from the treasury and the federal reserve. the experts who have been advising you about the future rate of inflation have pretty

much the same credibility, those as low job late night cycle caught lines. you see on tv, we've got to get control of inflation. it's, it's ravaging our people. not much consolation from those tasks with running the economy. instead of telling us how things will improve, they tell us that because of the on a cron variant inflation may be here to stay. the recent rising covered 1900 cases and the emergence of the i'm a crime variant, post downside risks to the employment and economic activity and increased uncertainty for inflation. not surprisingly, the public is starting to lose faith in the government's ability to manage it. any way to be honest is actually one more of like everything we're not bad is really bad, not a fan of joe biden in particular. so i do not think he's doing a good job feel like ever since he became president, things have been slowly going down. hell, especially in this city, but everything is about 40 percent higher than it was a couple of years ago. so no,

i would not say that there during your gotcha secretary of transport. pete blue disease says it's time to buy an electric car. he's pushing for an e vehicle discount to be included in jo biden's bill. back better for a lot of american working families, upgrading to an e car is not exactly in the budget. many are starting to see the white house as out of touch. you know, some people just need a cheap way to get to work. people who don't have jobs can buy an electric car. we have had economic crashes before and we have had public. does it health disasters before? but we have never had the 2 at the same time. colvin 19 together with an economic crash. when we were barely recovering from the crash of 2008 and $9.00, it is too much and it needs a massive government intervention to fix this. and mr. biden is simply

either unable or unwilling to make anything like the intervention needed by the crisis. we're working and living through many americans are starting to feel like they've been swindled. biden's administration seems a bit reluctant to offer a helping hand. caleb martin art in new york. the kyle rittenhouse case continues to divide the us right dang to his education. he was recently found not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 black lives matter protest his last year. however, his decision to do online course is that i reside in the state university have prompted protests, even though he is not fully enrolled there. some students are opposed to him taking part, although others are rallying in support of his right to attend classes. we spoke to one of the organizers of a protest supporting kyle. he just think that how does the university should accept

britain house if he wants to apply? i created a counter protest against the students for socialism that were against covered and being on campus and say they were educated on the town. they were super ignorant about the whole thing because if they really wanted to try, they would realize that how is not a murderer, how they verbally describe them to be at the process. today we had a lot of support for our written house that people showed up. and yeah, i think, i think we had 200 people and we out numbered the people protesting against cow 2 to one from my understanding cover it in the house is not a, a full time student. a su is a non degree seeking online student. i mean, you would have to go through the application process and i understand that any university has any right to not accept the students. i think that's

a challenge you faces arizona state should you know if you were to apply to, to a 4 year degree program like nursing like he wants to. i think you should accept them for last month, car written, i suppose acquitted of all charges after fatal shooting t white people during a black lives. massa protesting this concept which had descended into a riot. he said he acted in self defense. nik ronnie again says that he university should be unbiased. in cases like this, universities should be free from political narratives. um right now what we're seeing is we're seeing a lot of professors indoctrinated students with left this ideologies and it's training. it's training and negative impact on the students on campus, and they're not being able to have the right resources to be able to understand certain topics or information. the problem life where the, where the media is because the media falsely covered the recovery in house child

and they depicted him as a white premises, a murderer. all the terrible things while the trial was going on. and what the trial basically did. it proved to be exactly got officer that and he acted in self defense and that's with the child group. so the problem lies were the media is media continues to live, to the, to the masses. that if you get the chance like today, do you have a look at our website, say, because we got plenty stories there at the moment, including a policeman, is sacked off to shooting a wheelchair band man, 9 times for allegedly shoplifting a toolbox. you can read about that it out. he don't call still ad fee this al attention spilled. is he crank calls for more cooperation from night tag to defend itself against so called russian aggression, who have the details just off to bass. ah . join me every thursday on the alex simon,

sure. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct. what is true. morph is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah. so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah,

ah ah, welcome back you without saying i some big names being dragged into the sex trafficking trial, killing maxwell, a long time companion, jeffrey epstein, the pilot of the so called liter express, a plane used by epstein to ferry young women to his private caribbean island. says that he flew presidents, princes, and also hollywood stars. maxwell is accused of dreaming under age girls for epstein and american financier, convicted for sex offences back in 2019. he died in prison the same year his how the case is unfolded so far. adam and e leader express and unexpected scapegoat 5 takeaways from delane maxwell trial. so far,

prosecutors go with ab shane's partner in crime definition. sometimes she was even in the room for the massages herself. sometimes she touched the girl's bodies. and even when she was not in the room, make no mistake, she knew exactly what epstein was going to do with those children when she sent them to him inside the massage rooms. defense claims maxwell as a scapegoat for abstains crimes invokes bible as proof. ever since eve was accused of tempting adam for the apple women have been blamed for the bad behavior of men and women are often villain ised and punished more than the men ever are. pilot of abstains, lead, express, called as 1st witness recalls flying important people including prince andrew, donald trump, kevin spacey bill clinton. but i never saw any sexual activity, no witness identified as jane says she was sexually abused. at the age of 14,

jane claims maxwell instructed her on how to please abs they took part in abuse herself. he asked me to take my top off and then their hands were everywhere, and glean was robin him and kissing him and fondling defense. as accusers cannot be trusted, memories, fade money, does it accusers have shaken the money tree, and millions of dollars have fallen their way? reference to find sarah by abstaining state to compensate has victims. gillian maxwell trial to be continued. now days after ukrainian president vladimir zalinski announced the threat of a qu in his country. an anti government protest has been staged in the capital key, f hundreds marched to cabs, independent square, and 3 coins. the president's office, calling him a traitor and demanding his impeachment, a protest is claimed,

and authorities are violating the constitution and are conducting a to themselves. last friday, lensky said, a plot had been uncovered to topple his government and that it was orchestrated by russia. the idea of a so called russian threat was also raised to by ukraine during an eighty's. some is in latvia, he have called for a back up with military cooperation and sanctions against moscow in order to protect the country from purported russian aggression. now the readiness to defend any country from russian activities was expressed right on the eve of the meeting by britain with the foreign sexual, his trust riding high board, a military tank in there by a stony at just kilometers from the russian border in something of a declaration that britain is leading the way against what she called moscow's malign activity. although it didn't go mistake that the p. r. stunt hay was pretty similar to margaret thatcher is back in the 1980s, lima nato expansion of weapon systems close to russia's. borders is forced air

rushes to test a new powerful hypersonic missile that was announced early this week by president putin. moscow says that the allies, his escalation of tension, is unfounded and has threatened serious consequences if provoked further, your sexual state claims it may taste build up, is to counter what it sees is russian aggression against ukraine. were deeply concerned by evidence that rushes made plans for significant aggressive moves against ukraine. the plans include efforts to destabilize ukraine from within, as well as large scale military operations. there would have been a dialogue with the united states and its allies. we will insist on the development of specific agreements excluding any further, ne, to advancements to the east and the deployment of weapon systems that threaten us in the immediate vicinity of the russian federation. or journalist analissa and author of america's undeclared war says that russia has every reason to be alarmed by natives actions in eastern europe. there is no sign that russia is planning any

kind of aggressive move against the ukraine. and there's every reason to believe that that, that, that is not the case. and the u. s. looking extremely weak and insecure in the aftermath of afghanistan. joseph got just 3 or 4 months ago. so the u. s. a talking tough that's trying to prove that it is a, it's still a contender that is still in charge of the world, but it's act is looking less and less convincing. so. so russia has every concern, did that every reason to think that nato was engaging in a and a project, the long term project up encirclement and, and dismemberment. and, and i think it's up to the, up to the us and its allies to provide tangible proof that that is no longer the case. yet everything the u. s. s. that really indicates the opposite written really is designed to raise russian for years of some kind of nato attempted to add an

circle meant so. so in less than a back off, i can see how this can really add some of the world news. now i'm kind of streaming security forces of rescue to his release from a mob after they entered the city of ramallah by mistake attempting to drive to a west bank settlement. their car was tools by palestinian youth. 7 people have been injured in a train derailment in northern italy to drive a break. todd, after noticing fall and rocks on the tracks. the train went then with them went off the rails and was trapped at the entrance of a tunnel and hundreds of pro choice activists rallied in warsaw has the polish parliament debates a proposal to complete the ban abortion and trading in cases of great pregnancy afresh. and women's health protested l signs with red paint symbolizing blood from chanting slightly. just approaching half 10 in the morning here. moscow. who is good to have you come, we'll have more stories in session. ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is often very dramatic. a development only. mostly i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk for

welcome to the alex salmon. sure, we look at the ability of westminster parliamentarians to influence events when the government, both the majority of new 80 in the house of commons. one of the most active revenue appears in the house of lords, is labour member byron sticker. he is one of the moving spirits in the cross party attempts to hold the government to his commitments, to protect pensioner income. alex asked him about the issue. what are the prospects for and whether they are making any progress and then return to the s m piece. indefatigable angus, brendan mcneil, or 15 years after he held tony blair speeds to the parliamentary fire on the cash for honor scandal, he turns to the free with the new belt on board us. johnson's enablement. but will it make any difference this time? right? these key introduced later in the program, beg 1st to retreats, emails and messages on last week, st. andrews. this your featuring

party attempts to hold the government his previous commitments to pensioners. but will it make a difference? he's in discussion with alex. well 2nd, welcome to the i'll examine, show pleasure to meet you and to be here. but you're a relatively new member of the upper house, the house a lot. but you come into the, the chamber with substantial outside experiences, a professor of finance and accounting. see how have you found the are came process of the house a lot? well, just to amplify a little bit. i was professor of accounting and finance at 3 major universities. generally, i was researching what i call the dark side of capitalism. and now are confronted fully in parliament. you can see that there is in build lobby of big corporations and the rich people and frequently legislation is modified to a page.
