service that the design is not about quality trade workers. it's about the mime. the top stories in our tea asylum seekers may have to wait months that the batteries border to get processed. if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead, bright group. so you say the move throws away, the rulebook 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. also, this are russia's foreign minister, slams nato for a lack of diplomacy at a meeting with the u. s. secretary of state warnings which changed over ukraine. and moscow is threatened with new sanctions. and the c i a is improved in the child sex abuse scandal that involves children as young as 10 years old, with all but one alleged offended going and punished according to the classified

documents. and nursing unions from around the globe call for k, with vaccine patterns to be lifted, flaming production restrictions with deaths in the developing world. the army constrain will be followed the others if we cannot act and eat all countries in it here to a single vaccinations trackage ah hello, welcome to scold me day here in the russian capital you watching artie international . i violating asylum rights campaigns are angry at need you solution for asylum seek is attempting to get into europe through the bellow russian border. there are still thousands of migrant stranded in belarus and a temporary shelter set up by the authorities. brush will. so wanted to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants in special camps. however,

white creep still worn. 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 it has on human rights in the rule of law, stopping detaining, and criminalize and 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 centers, up to 16 weeks. that is a massive increase on the current timeframe that they can do that full 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 saying that this is feeling 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, no tensions on the eastern borders of the e. u have been high for many months. the e u has accused belarus 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 $70000.00 more said to remain embellish itself. and while the commission describes the situation as improving its still defines 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 alone legislation with the ways. but even, you know, makers are finding this pretty hard to swallow. they've described the move as lowering your standards and even violating you lose, 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

charlotte, even sky r t. paris. okay, well that's pretty and even in van, ron berg, head of ox fans, e you office, and you are very welcome. thanks for your time this afternoon. even just run through them. what concerns you most about these new proposals? well, 1st of all, good morning and thanks for having me. so we have seen similar, restrictive measures actually being applied in various countries at the borders of the you. so this is definitely not an isolated incident. and we've seen this in spain and in italy and most currently on the greek islands, where these restrictive measures of keeping people at the board are keeping them in substandard facilities and prolonging the time that they can stay there only has led to floss, asylum procedures, and to silence speakers being stuck in detention for months and sometimes even years. and it also means that people who are arriving at the border to claim asylum

to ask for asylum, who are phone already so fairly traumatized to have austin's several former abilities. they're saying in substandard conditions, there's no legal aid for them and no health services, so they won't have a fair and you main asylum process. so that's the 1st concern. and then the 2nd concern is but because of the flawed asylum procedures. in, in these border border detention center, it will also make it much easier to send people back to harm, which is a clear violation of international refugee long. so those are the 2 main concerns for us. why do you think the has done this? and i suppose their argument is that thing more migrant is trying to get in to you and we need a longer period of time to try and process them. yeah, we, honestly, we don't really understand because the commissioner also has said that these are not the highest number of migrants, right?

it's a few 1000 and the you should be able to manage that in a fair and you main way. unfortunately, we've seen that every time when a situation at the new border rises, whether that's now in, in poland and about 6 days, or whether it's on the southern border with greece, italy, or, or spain versus panic reaction. and instead of managing it and working as a new member states, together to share the responsibility for posting asylum seeker and for, for sharing responsibility for the, for them aside and process. we see that is every time this is instead of political crisis. and it's really not necessary to know why we're so disappointed because we could have managed this easily. but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. so how could they manage it better than you think, even though it's very important for all the member states, to work together to share the responsibility and to make sure that when people

arrive on the borders of the you on whatever board that is, that they do not stay there, but they are relocated across european member state and that everyone takes their fair share of hosting the design and seekers. okay, do you think that these new policies will deter migrants or g? think perhaps we actually this could establish some sort of recognise route that many more people now were trying to follow. it's unclear, but what we see is that people will seek safety if they are persecuted, they will flee. there is no doubt about it. and i think we also need to acknowledge that most people who are fleeing conflicts or feeling persecution and war that they are staying in neighboring countries. right. so you is hosting only a very small percentage of the world's refugees and the people that do arrive in europe. there again are quite small numbers. so we should be able to, to,

to process them in a human way and to make sure that they are able to access fair asylum procedures that they have. access to legal aid and access to health services. okay. will okay, even we're gonna have to leave it there, but really good to told you this afternoon. i was even in that room berg who is the head of ox fams you office. thanks for coming on. i mean, wal mart grants mexico trying to get into the u. s. rules. so face tough need restrictions with biden. now we're tilting a trump policy had previously criticized. we'll have a look at that in more detail a bit later in the program. the lack of diplomacy, that's what russia's foreign minister has accused nato walls and exchange warnings with the us to the meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. lovegrove 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 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 galafaro also said that in the very near future, moscow would put forward a new security strategy and 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 russian 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, feel the way you little sliver of noise is new,

as the se hellish sanctions follow and of course will react. we cannot not react. what will be our response? it will be seen. i don't want to guess what the west will 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 so again, love rob. he said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober debates and that close their foreign ministers both seen him. diplomat 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. it was a reporting that richard back from nancy warrants

a coalition does say, it's not russia that's on the march, but the u. k. america and the rest of the night presentation or what's going on from the us side from secretary state, blinking sites is so lacking. in credibility and so full of threat since $999.00 just 22 years. the number of countries and nato has almost doubled and its try and 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 his relationship to russia doesn't see i, employees have been involved in a ledge, sex crimes against children as young as 2 years old. and only one of them's charged c damning revelation. after tro over documents will be classified, he goes, dawn of has more in the story, more than $3600.00 pages of deeply disturbing material. 75 of them ever more. so the part of the trove logging sex crimes against children committed by at least 10 cia employees. and contractors, in the worst of cases against very young children, had inappropriate sexual activity with an unidentified 2 year old girl, admitted to having inappropriate sexual contact with the then 6 year old on 2 separate occasions, the personnel evaluation board voted unanimously to recommend termination and

revocation of his clearances, the eastern district of virginia, united states 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. and other ca, employee was caught with thousands of inappropriate images of children. on his work laptop, the agency employee had used as united states government laptop computer to view approximately 14000 images of pornography, of which 1400 were of underage individuals. the united states attorney office declined prosecution of in favor of administrative action by the agency. in view of the personal evaluation board recommendations, it is recommended that 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 mention anything of the sort. they do mention a c. i a contractor, them who cooled 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 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 underaged child. the case has been 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 the potential case based on an improper assessment of the relevant factors, except according to unconfirmed reports. the c,

i a 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. but we have us the cia and the us attorney's office for virginia to comment on this story. and we'll let you know when we get a response. and meantime, the full messy i was to blur john kitty actually 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 his because the cia fought it in court. what the c i always fears is that someone will get up on the stand in court to testify in his own behalf. and reveal classified information and especially will reveal sources and methods, perhaps the names of a, 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. when henry moore back to the story and the

allegations against the c, i a doughty don't comp more little countries and reporting than you on the concave at variance and among the laces star, switzerland, iceland and greece with a dozen e countries now affected me. ma, nursing unions from 28 countries, are blaming vaccine patents for deaths in the developing world and on demanding the farm accompanies, dropped them. and hopefully on the potentially life saving champs. the direct consequences of the failure to distribute vaccines and treatments 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. we're not, not as we represent more than 2 and a half 1000000 healthcare workers worldwide. we asked that o,

payton's for gov. if vaccines be abolished or emergency axis be granted to them at the moment we have not achieved success in the european union, but we need to continue working. leading countries such as the united states in spain are already in support of this initiative. or rich countries have obtained 7000000000 doses of covey vaccines that compares to just 300000000 shots available to people in low income nations and the health unit. to say that the imbalance could lead to even more deaths, low mood peeler, again warns of the grim repercussions of the world doesn't adopt a single vaccination strategy. escape by younger, meagre, and letting you know the only constrain will be followed by others. if we do not act in all countries dinner, add here to a single vaccination strategy. at the moment there is a global kovacs initiative aimed at cooperation in the field of exceeds the initiative is commendable. but although it initially seemed to have a well thought, our strategy, it did not yield the expected results, are you not to day,

we're facing an equality. despite the efforts of high income countries, only 14 percent of the vaccine colleagues should have received who are provided with feel it is necessary to remove intellectual property right in order to create vaccines and distribute them quite as primarily in low income and middle income economies. social now while omicron does threatened to derail the festive period for a lot of people, politicians also seeing greatly concern too about choosing the right language to describe the winter holidays. asked taylor as marana 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 john? yes, the current commissioner, helen dalley has been busy during our 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 a chew, a fans outside her door. this document in our parking use.

unbelievable hayes, totally wrong. starting from christmas, you are to use these strange wishes to see some screenings. he said he's mad though. well, what do you mean? said nothing. crazy commissioner. wrong. it's so small. property can try to influence or european seat is probably not a surprise, but one institution with a particular bone to pick was catholic church. what was it being they got an tradition on christmas and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issue this rebuke. a boy, there is the cancellation of our roots to christian. i mentioned before europe, especially with regard to christian festivals with the fear 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. grint chez. so now, but it just seems to be the season for bashing you'll 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, his 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 of 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. and catching. turns out, though that very well paid civil simons are not in touch with reality. shocking.

because if you believe twitter, those non christians, weapon you want to burn stockings sabotage center and just topple the tree on trafalgar square. actually quite light christmas. in fact, the general consensus seems to be your theory the christmas, cuz it's a holiday. exactly. nice thing. yeah. can we have 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 it's worse as you know. i don't think there should be much smoking on the mistletoe. ah, that needs 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 far tree, commonly associated the break particular holiday and to some out of here. so in appropriate so offensive, you 1st need to read the guidelines. now, britain is led by a clown. that's how the french president is branded forest. johnson is frances form . a u. k. envoy does warn that relations have now hit their lowest and more than

200 years. micron hilariously made the remarks in a private conversation after a number of public rags. bo, joe talks to me for speeds, everything is 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. well, in the latest batt micron took offense to a letter, johnson tweeted the did appear to blame france for the record flow of asylum seekers and paris. them promptly scrap 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 migrant crisis began. france and the u. k . have also been at loggerheads to in a post race dispute over fission rights. and johnson's fellow party and peace, they have rallied to his defense they were in to pantomime season on we in the

different selection coming as i'm pretty unhelpful word was 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 and openly am, i'm sure that we can continue to try and work together to tackle this unconscious that we will. i will hope that we'll get a formal response back without he haitian former, pretty champagne south. george galloway says there is a destructive mood at the moment in european politics. oh, me, old fashioned, but i don't think the heads or 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 called the owl that we have now. but if borrows 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, paula. dex. this is a anti nato, a post natal depression, on the part of the french and b, e. u. in general, we have left up, they find it impossible to bags, they want us to fail. they want us even to suffer, and they are ready as is abundant, may 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. rushing out international setup

arrangements in april and he says i fasted i back again with the headlines and more stories for you to from around the world. nathan. ah, no one else think wrong. well, truth just don't hold any rules yet to see power disdain, because the african and engagement was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we says to look some common ground. oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

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