i tonia here long, a thin ether than the top stories this hour an hour t asylum seekers may have to wait months at the barouche board or to get processed . if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead. right. screech say the move though, throws away the rule book, need to continues to escalate the situation directly on our borders. and as for military security in the euro, atlantic region, it continues to deteriorate. russia's foreign minister, sams, nato, for lack of diplomacy, the meeting with the u. s, secretary of state warnings are exchanged over ukraine and moscow is threatened with new sanctions or so they say the c i is embroiled in a child sex abuse scandal that involves children as young as 2 years old with all but one alleged defender going unpunished, according to declassify documents and nursing unions from around the world call for

k with vaccine patterns to be lifted. blaming production restrictions for deaths in the developing world. as the army constrain will be followed by others, if we cannot act and it all countries in at here to think of vaccination strategy. ah hi, good morning. welcome. just going 11 o'clock in the russian capital, watching archie international, violating asylum writes campaigners are angry at me. ye, solution for asylum seek is attempting to get into europe through the bell russian border. there are still thousands of migrant stranded in bella. roosted a temporary shelter set up by the authorities. their brussels though wants to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants in special camps . however, rice creeps to warn it sets a dangerous precedent. if the you can allow

a minority of member states to throw out the rule book due to the presence of a few 1000 people at its border, it throws out any authority as on human rights in the rule of law, stopping detaining and criminalizing people trying to find safety in europe, brakes international and european asylum law supporting the detention of migrants at e, you borders puts politics over people's lives. the e. u is trying to get tough on migration, particularly on its east in bo, does. now, in a bid to tackle the issue that it's gone to in 3 countries, controversial emergency asylum measures that will give poland lithuania and latvia. the power to hold people in special asylum processing cent is up to 16 weeks. that is a massive increase on the current timeframe that they can do that for weeks. the moves have shocked your human rights organizations. they've accused that you are

playing politics with people's lives and bowing to pressure from eastern european member states. and that said that this is fueling an empty migration agenda. these new rules will also extend the time that these countries have the even officially register asylum applications that could now increased up to 4 weeks up from a maximum of 10 days. at the moment. now, tensions on the eastern borders of the e. u have been high for many months. the who is accused by the roots of frying migrants to minsk and dumping them with the buddha. the e. u says minsky is attempting to destabilize the union by flooding it with migrants in reaction to sanctions. it's placed on beller roost. minsk though, rejects these allegations. there are currently thought to be around $8000.00 migrants being held in centers in eastern europe in countries after they crossed

over the border from ballers around $7000.00 more said to remain in belarus itself and what the commission describes the situation as improving. it still defends the idea behind these new measures to protect our borders and to protect people. we are giving flexibility and support to member states to manage this emergency situation without compromising on human rights. this should allow the member states in question to fully uphold the right to asylum and align legislation with you. a quiz . quit even you diplomats and nor makers of finding this pretty hard to swallow. they describe the move as lowering you standards and even violating you law, leaving many to question how the you can hold itself up as a protector on human rights on the one hand and implement these measures on the other. charlotte, even ski r t. paris. meanwhile,

migrants from mexico trying to get into the us will also face tough ne restrictions with biden now adopting a trump policy. he previously criticized. we'll have a look at that in more detail a bit later on lack of diplomacy. that's what rushes for. a minister has accused nate, i walk and exchange warnings with the u. s. at a meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. leverage also express his concern over the worsening relations. for those are, the 2 continues to escalate the situation directly on our borders. and as for military security in the euro, atlantic region, it continues to deteriorate. there's only one treaty left between russia and the united states. the strategic arms reduction treaty, the treaty on short and medium range missiles and the open skies treaty were essentially torn apart by our american colleagues. what we heard from said gala rolf was a list of issues he has and what and russia has with the way that russia has being

dictated to by nato, by the united states. and by the west. he said, time and time again, the western partners of russian nato, the united states. everybody else saying that they had either miss on st. misunderstood or deliberately misconstrued the minsk agreement. and until that was properly adhered to that it could never ultimately be a reality on the ground. so jennifer of also said that in the very near future, moscow would put forward a new security strategy. and you security packed that it wants to see, have some certain things written down in black and white as far as the relationship between nato and russia goes now antony, blinking. the u. s. secretary of state. also, i had given a press conference following that meeting. he said that as far as he was concerned, and as far as the united states was concerned, russia posed a significant risk to the security of ukraine. there would be serious

consequences for brushing aggression toward ukraine as well as some of the efforts that we see russia taking to try to destabilize ukraine from within. well, the problem with sanctions, of course, is as they always result in counter sanctions and fight said gay law for all did say that there had been essentially a failure of diplomacy from his western partners and said that if serious sanctions were imposed on russia that there would be consequences going back, the old away little sliver of noise. it's new as the st. hellish sanctions follow and of course we will react. we cannot not react. what will be our response? it will be seen. i don't want to guess what the westfall decide to do threatening some financial sanctions, new sectoral sanctions. this is a debt and road and indiana it will backfire. and the initiators of this illegitimate unilateral measures the secretary of state of the united states and the foreign minister of russia were never going to get to the bottom of all of the

problems between the 2 countries here in stock o. what we may potentially take away from this is something that antony blinking said after his and his meeting with sergei. love rob. he said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober and debates and that both of foreign ministers both seen him. diplomats would take that away to their respective presidents, and we may well see some more discussion. it that much higher level in the very near future. which one of the reporting there will richard becca from the ansible onto the coalition says it's not russia that's on the march, but the u. k. america and the rest of nice. i presentation on what's going on from the us side from the secretary, st, blinking sites is so lacking in credibility and so full of threat since 999 just 22 years. the number of countries in nato has almost double

and it's from fire from the north atlantic, which is what it was called. you know, what? it's so it's called the north atlantic treaty organization. but it's clearly the strategy became to surround russia. presentation is false on the part of, of lincoln. it's not russia that's marching westward and, you know, every year surrounding the united states a little bit more or germany or france or britain, or any of the nato countries. but that is what is happening in regard to nato and its relationship to russia. now it doesn't say i employees have been involved in a ledge, sex crimes against children as young as 2 years old. and only one of them was charged the damning revelation after treva documents was the classified. you could have done of has more, more than 3600 pages of deeply disturbing material. 75 of them ever

more. so the parts of the trove logging sex crimes against children committed by at least 10 c. i a employees and contractors in the worst of cases against very young children. when had inappropriate sexual activity with an unidentified 2 year old girl committed to having inappropriate sexual contact with funder, then 6 year old on 2 separate occasions, the personal evaluation board or did you, nana, mostly to recommend termination and revocation of his clearances. the eastern district of virginia u. s. attorney's office declined prosecution of based on taint issues. this individual whose identity was clothed by a code name along with everybody else was fired, but never charged according to the papers. another c i, a employee was caught with thousands of inappropriate images of children on his work laptop. the agency employee had used his the united states government,

laptop computer to view approximately 14000 images of pornography, of which 1400 were of under age individuals. the united states attorney's office decline prosecution of in favor of administrative action by the agency. in view of the personal evaluation board recommendations is recommended at this case, be closed with no further action was any legal action taken against them. while the answer to that question remains a mystery, none of the 75 pages mentioned anything of the sort. they do mention a cia contract to them who crawled into the darkest corner of the internet and thought he was seducing a child. the child, luckily, turned out to be an undercover of b. i agent from allegedly solicited an undercover special agent from the fbi i in an online chat room in an attempt to travel interstate for the purposes of having sex with what he believed to be an under his child. the case is being closed, the agency terminated the contract with the individual, and again,

apparently no further action was taken. yet they say they take such crimes very seriously. while we cannot comment on the reasons why specific cases were declined, we do take very seriously any allegation there are. prosecutors declined a potential case based on an improper assessment of the relevant factors except according to unconfirmed reports. the cia was actively unenthusiastic about the idea of legal action against its employees and contractors, concerned more with the risks of classified information being compromised in the court crossfire. and it took years for these papers to even become public and reveal that apparently the c i a badge is a real life equivalent of a get out of jail free card even for the worst of crimes. well, we have asked the year c, i a and the u. s. attorney's office in virginia to comment on this sir story. and

we'll let you know when we get a response. in the meantime, pharmacy i whistleblower john cardiac it does say that the agency needs serious changes when it comes to transparency c, i a, officers and contractors can commit the most heinous crimes crimes against children and not be prosecuted. they're very good at covering up crimes. all they have to do is say, sources and methods. all they have to do is say that they want to protect classified information. there should have been whistleblowers at every step of the way. and the reason why it took so long for this news to finally see the light of day is because the cia fought it in court. what the see, i always fears is that someone will get up on the stand in court to testify on his own behalf. and reveal classified information and especially will reveal sources and methods, perhaps the names of sources or information about ongoing operations. and so in exchange for not revealing that information, there's usually

a plea deal or as you saw in this situation, no court case at all. this is what the polygraph is for. it's supposed to weed out perverts, and criminals, and crazy people, unless there is serious change inside the cia and certainly more transparency. i don't see this changing at all. but if you are interested in this story, you can read more baghdad and those allegations against the c i at a website at r t dot com that more more countries reporting in you only crone covariance among the latest the switzerland iceland increased with a dozen 8 countries now effected, i mean, while nursing unions from 28 countries are blaming vaccine patterns for deaths in the developing world. and demanding that pharma companies dropped their monopoly on the potentially life saving chaps. the direct consequences of the failure to

distribute vaccines and treatment equitably to the vast majority of people of low and moderate income countries could likely for the transmission of coven 19 further mass illness and large numbers of fatalities. in those countries, there should be reason enough to address the crisis of global vaccine apartheid gazoomba, where members of global nurses united, which represents by then 2 and a half 1000000 health care workers worldwide. we ask that all patient for carving vaccines be abolished for emergency axis be granted to them at the moment we have not achieved success in the european union, but we need to continue working on a cleaning country such as the united states and spain, our rate in support of this initiative. we're rich countries have obtained 7000000000 doses of co, with vaccines that does compare to just 300000000 shots available to people in low income nations. and the health unions do say that the imbalance could lead to even more deaths loma repeal, or again warns of grim repercussions if the world doesn't to doubt adopt

a single vaccination strategy. escape by younger, meagre unless i get i know the army crunch train will be followed by others. if we do not act it, all countries do not adhere to a single vaccination strategy. at the moment, there is a global kovacs initiative aimed at corporation in the field of excellence. ebay, the initiative is commendable, but although it initially seemed to have a well thought out strategy, it did not yield the expected results value. and actually, today we're facing an equality denied the average of high income countries. only 14 percent of the vaccine colleagues should have received were provided with feel it is necessary to remove intellectual property right in order to create vaccines and distribute them right as primarily in low income and middle income economies. social my waller or mccrendon threatened to derail the festive season for a lot of people. politicians to seem greatly concern to you about choosing the

right language to describe the winter holidays. taska taylor has more on that. it's not easy being the european commissioner for quality, because when the rest of your colleagues and brussels are figuring out how to stop the us from overheating, how to stop migrants from drowning it, see how to resuscitate the economy and how to mandate vaccinations without starting revolution you have to focus on the really serious issues. ah. with yes, the current commissioner, having

a dolly has been busy drawing up guidelines for inclusive communication, an operable goal? the thing is helena miss, right? the room? it's been a long 2 years since coven fast rocked up people, a tired christmas is woman cozy, and it already got stolen last year. moreover, europe is overwhelmingly christian. so when the document got leaks, that wasn't exactly. yeah. to a fans outside her door, this document in our parking use unbelievable is totally wrong. starting from christmas you are to use these strange wishes to see some screenings. he said, he's mad do what it means. nothing. it's a crazy commissioner from it's so small. property can try to influence all europe. bmc is probably not a surprise,

but one institution with a particular bone to pick was catholic church. what was it being begotten? tradition on christmas, and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issued this rebuke. if boy, there is the cancellation of our route to christian, i mentioned for europe, especially with regard to christian festivals. with the fare of god to put in to her. daddy withdrew the guidelines as they clearly need more work. yes. meaning christmas has been saved from the e grin. chez. so now, but it just seems to be the season for bashing you all tied because across the channel, the u. k. government was looking for a touchy tick tock, so going to encourage students to get faxed before the holidays job and go whoa, whoa, whoa, mary medina, christmas, that kind of thing. and though the celebration of jesus birth hasn't really bothered anyone since it started during the roman times, london decided in 2021,

that it just doesn't cut it anymore. we have been advised by the cabinet office that we should not use the word christmas, that the government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don't celebrate christmas. the other option was festive season, which keeps the emotional motivation. we have gone with. don't take coven 19 home for the holidays as it links to school and university christmas holidays in cat chain. turns out, though, that very well paid civil simons are not in touch with reality. shocking. because if you believe twitter, those non christians were power, anyone to bonds, stockings sabotage center and just topple the tree on trafalgar square. actually quite light christmas. in fact, the general consensus seems to be, you said i had a christmas because it's a holiday. exactly nice thing. yeah. we haven't nice things any more. a question that no doubt millions of brits, our staff to hearing the latest advice from this government official. well for what it's worth. i think i don't think there should be much smoking on the mistletoe. i

don't need to do things like that. so yes, we're grantees are king in f. chimney. it seems it's not just covered that might steal christmas. i'm excuse me, please take that snow covered for archie, commonly associated the break particular holiday and to some out of here. so in appropriate so offensive. yes, there is. can you do with the guidelines that britain is led by a clown? that's how the french president is branded boris johnson as france is for me. u. k . envoy that is warned that relations have now hit their lowest and more than 200 years micron allegedly made the remarks in a private conversation after a number of public rams. bobo talks to me for speed, everything's going well. we have grown up conversations, but he strikes me before and after, as having an inelegant way about him. it's always the same circus. it's sad to see such a great country with which we could do so much led by a clown. and the latest spat macaroni took a fence to

a letter. johnson tweeted that appeared to blame france for the record flow of asylum seekers and paris. them promptly scrapped his invitation to the u. k. to a european meeting on migration will last week, 27 migrants died, attempting to cross the english channel when their inflatable boat capsized. it was one of the deadliest incidents since the migration crisis began. fransen cave also been at loggerheads too in a post brakes up to speed over fishing rice, some of johnson's fellow party and peas, though, have rallied to his defense. they were into pantomime season on william as the french election coming isn't pretty on out for word. because the prime ministers in the town is elected prime minister of this country with a very big mandate leading this country through the pandemic. i'm surprised to hear that and, and disappointed openly. i'm sure that we can continue to try work together to tackle this unconscious that we will. i will hope that will get a formal response back. artie hastened from the british, m p. george galloway does say there is a destructive mood in european politics. only old fashioned,

but i don't think the heads of state and heads of government should be publicly talking to each other and about each other in this way. it is indeed a toxic on tong corby all that we have now. but if bodice johnson is the circus clown, i'm afraid the manual micron is the circus dwarf and the british and the french deserve better than the leaders that they have. but they're the only leaders that we've got and they have to go on with resolving war arm. i think post partum politics. this is a anti nato, a post natal depression, on the part of the french and b, e. u. in general. we have left them, they find it impossible to bear. they want us to fail. they want us even to

suffer. and they are ready, as is abundantly clear every day to permit the floor of thousands of people every week trance has the opportunity to elect a new president. soon i hope they take the opportunity to make a change just as i wish, that the british people could make a change. i'm satisfied with neither of these 2 leaders, but as long as they are the leaders, then they have to obey diplomatic norms. they biden is about who talked to my gratian policy, he previously called in humane and was promoted by donald trump, will force migrant to stay in mexico while their claims for asylum in us being processed. this the 1st president history united states, america has anybody seeking asylum, has to do it in another country that's never happened before in america. we want to

end this program, but we also believe in following the law. and that's exactly what we're doing as there was. there was a ruling that required us moving forward with implementation sufficiently called the migrant protection protocols. though it's commonly referred to as the remain in mexico program. it was instituted by us present, donald trump, during his administration, requiring migrants who would like to get asylum in the united states to wait in mexico for their approval. they don't wait in the united states, they wait across the border in mexico. the biden administration initially tried to dismantle and change this policy that was left over from the trump administration, but they were immediately taken to court by officials in missouri and texas. now it appears we have a texas judge ruling that the remain in mexico policy must be re implemented. and as we wait for the ultimate results of an august lawsuit, now there's been

a very significant increase in the number of migrants crossing the us border sense . joe biden has taken office a lot of videos and information has been revealed about how these numbers are rising. the number of people crossing over the us border has been a big point of contention. many of jo biden's critics in the republican party and in local and state government in places like texas, arizona, new mexico have been very critical of biden and his administration and how they handled the situation on the border. so it appears that starting next week, some border towns in texas will be re implementing the remain in mexico policy of the trumpet ministration. a policy that biden initially opposed tried to dismantle, but it appears or it will be re instated and i am off and reporting there. okay. well, before we go, we got some breaking news because police in the german city of labor have cordoned

off a market over a bomb threat authority. see say that the area has been evacuated and a search is now being carried out that used just in, of course we'll have her, the latest on that, plus other stories too. at the top of the ages coming up to half 11 here in moscow, we'll be back with more news in about 30 minutes. ah ah.

ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. with

our can to still be incur visionaries, me. so if you share not for ages, we have been trying to trace back the origins of life on earth. how do you, baron rock turning to something asked, flourishing beautiful and abundant as when alec, as professor of evolutionary biochemistry at university college london, nick lane mclean. it's really great to have you with us in our program. you have all the big questions. you can clarify some things for us, right from, from what i understand energy contained in molecules is pretty much the reason for life on earth. so energy can be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred, right? so does this really mean that energy that i consists of?

we can trace it back to where life started. maybe even further big bank. in principle, i suppose you could, but nobody would have a brain big enough to do that is really the flow of energy, which is the important thing. so the way is moving from place to place on through us continuously. so we are eating and breathing all the time and we're changing our molecules of time. so an easy way to think of it is like a stream is flowing down the hill side and the, the, the molecules in the stream. and any one moment or not the same molecules, but the stream itself is morris, as we are a person in that sense, sustained by discontinuous blood. okay? so in that sense what happens to my energy flow and molecules that energy consists of one site die? what happens to the air? well, you just break down just not transferred anywhere, right? it's.
