friday evening, 3rd of december here in moscow, wherever you're checking him from around the world. thank you for it and will welcome to the program as kevin. oh, and he and you watching articles 1st, then violating asylum writes, campaigners are angry at an e you solution for asylum seekers attempted to get into europe through the better ocean border. there are still thousands of them. stranded in bella rose to the temporary shelter set up by the authorities now than brussels. wanted to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep those migrants in special camps while it happens. right groups warned that plan sets and the 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. when you, you 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 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 say that this is feeling an empty migration agenda. these new rules will also extend the time that these countries have the
11:03 am
e when 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 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. also, they crossed over the border from belarus around 7000 more. a 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
11:04 am
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. but even you diplomats and law makers of finding this pretty hard to swallow. they describe the move as lowering you stand. it's an even violating you look, leaving many to question how that you can hold itself up as a protector on human rights on the one hand and implement these measures on the other. charlotte g been ski, r t, paris. so as we heard the proposal suggest that migrants, white in special come on new territory while the applications of process but the head of ox pharmacy, you office police, the conditions and those kinds of facilities would undermine basic laws. the commissioner also has said that these are not the highest number of migrants,
11:05 am
right? it's a few 1000 and you should be able to manage that in a fair and humane way. unfortunately, we've seen that every time when a situation at the border rises, whether that's now in, in poland and about dick states, or whether it's on the southern border with felicia to leeward or spain. there's this panic to reaction and instead of managing it and working as e u. member states together to share the responsibility for hosting asylum seekers and for sharing responsibility for the for them asylum process. we see that is every time this is instead of political crisis, 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 let to flaw to sign up procedures and to asylum seekers, being stuck in detention for months and sometimes even years. and this also means
11:06 am
that people were arriving at the border to claim sign him to ask for asylum, who are often already severely traumatized to have often several vulnerabilities. they're staying 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 these flawed asylum procedures, in these border border detention tantra, it will also make it much easier to send people back and to harm, which is a clear violation of international refugee law. so those are the 2 main concerns for us. while we're talking about refugees, another story across the mediterranean brewing may be a potential refugee wave. i'm so damn would be a nightmare for europe, warns rushes envoy who says it's no vital therefore to prevent that north east
11:07 am
african state from collapsing will bring you the interview, gave to us a bit later in the programs and get a handle on it. doesn't say i employees have been involved in alleged sex crimes against children, some as young as 2 years old. and only one of them has ever been charged. that's the damning revelation. after trove of documents were declassified, he goes down off reports. more than 3600 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 have an inappropriate sexual contact with the then 6 year old girl on 2 separate
11:08 am
occasions, the personnel evaluation board voted unanimously to recommend termination and re vocation of his clearances. the eastern district of virginia u. s. attorney's office declined prosecution of based on taint issues from the information and the lack of previously identify a child, pornography victims. in his videos, this individual whose identity was clothed by a code name along with everybody else was fired but never charged according to the papers. another cia employee was caught with thousands of inappropriate images of children on his work laptop. the agency employee has used his united states government laptop computer to view approximately 14000 images of pornography, of which a 1400 were of underage individuals. the united states attorney's office declined prosecution of in favor of administrative action by the agency. in view of the personnel evaluation board recommendations, it is recommended that this case be closed with no further action was any legal
11:09 am
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 cia 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 and under cover special agent from the f. b, i in an online chat room in an attempt to travel in to state for the purposes of having sex with what he believes to be. and under his child, the case is 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 the are prosecutes is declined to potential case based on an improper assessment of the relevant factors except
11:10 am
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. we are cecia and the us attorney's office in virginia . comments if they get back to us as the response, we'll let you know what that responses meantime for was c i a whistleblower john kerry ark, who told us the agency need 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
11:11 am
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 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
11:12 am
don't see this changing at all. some really alarming stuff come out there. she want to read up more about this story, get rid of back story and then again allegations against cecilia. you can online it . i'll see they'll come by less truck was happening. i would cove it today and more and more countries are reporting the new omicron cove it varied among the latest switzerland, iceland and greece, with a dozen e countries. now affected. meantime, nursing units to speaking up live in to do with a front lot of this from 28 countries that let me vaccine payton's for deaths in the developing world. and the demanding of pharma companies dropped their monopoly of the potentially life saving jobs. 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.
11:13 am
we're not, not as we represent more than 2 and a half 1000000 health care workers worldwide. we asked that o, payton's for cove. 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. rich countries of times 7000000000 doses a cobra vaccines that compare such as 300000000 shots available to people in low income nations or the health union. so the imbalance could lead to even more deaths, paloma pillow wally of grim repercussions if the world doesn't adopt a single vaccination strategy. as ca brianca meeker, unless i get i know the army crunch train will be followed by others. if we do not act, if all countries dinner adhere to a single vaccination strategy at the moment, there is a global kovacs initiative aimed at corporation in the field of excellence. the initiative is commendable, but although it initially seemed to have a well thought,
11:14 am
our strategy, it did not yelled the expected results directly to day. we're facing an equality despite the efforts 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 rights in order to create vaccines and distribute them right as primarily in low income and middle income economies special. so with all the world current pressing woes like cove it and how on the conferences is threatening to derail the festive season for a soul, politicians on the other and got other matters on their mind at the forefront. maybe not the best priority might think, but that worrying about choosing the right language to describe the winter holidays strew. saskia taylor explains. 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
11:15 am
revolution you have to focus on the really serious issues. ah, with john? yes. the current commissioner, helen dalley, 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 woman cozy, and it already got stolen last year. moreover,
11:16 am
europe is overwhelmingly christian. so when the document got leaks, that wasn't exactly a chew of fans outside her door to him, but i think this document is absolutely offensive. everyone must be proud of their origins and traditions, but also of the religious faith. oh, there was a lot of hypocrisy distorting christmas, and the language we use at this holiday is really shameful and the door i grew up in the family were christmas. it's always been wonderful. the fairy tales waiting. and i don't see why my children have to deny themselves this opportunity. i don't want to do it either as a parent or as a politician. i am indignant if someone in europe wants to change all this and wants to do it in my house. it's all absurd, probably not to surprise, but one institution with a particular bone to pick was the catholic church. what was it being begun? tradition on christmas and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issue this rebuke. it boy, there is the cancellation of our roots to christian. i mentioned for europe,
11:17 am
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 grinch as for now, but it just seems to be the season for bashing yuletide because across the channel, the u. k. government was looking for a catchy 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 is, boss 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,
11:18 am
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, what do you want? a bon 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. 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 what it's worth. i think i don't think there should be much smoking on the mistletoe. ah, you don't need to do things like that. so yes, with gwinnett is our king in every chimney, it seems it's not just covered, might steal christmas. i'm excuse me, please take that snow covered far tree, commonly associated the bright particular holiday and to some out of here. so inappropriate so offensive. yes, they're asking you to read the guidelines. but tis the season to be jolly not. i
11:19 am
know christmas chair, either them for those beleaguered migrant trauma, had north to get into the usa still to come here the by did ministration plans to re launch it from peer a border program. that force is asylum seekers to wait in mexico for you. it's a migration hearings and all the extra uncertainty that's going to bring them this . you'll tied ah . join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess with the world politics. sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. oh seemed wrong when oh please
11:20 am
just don't move. i mean you have to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. personal pinnacle of evolution, everything's flat. a bacterium is the product of 4000000000 years of evolution. it is in a specific environment. so we, so in that sense we're, we, we are still a few survivors at the end of all along a long process you. so as in silver springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well. voting will do much better in that sense. oh,
11:21 am
hello, gain russia's ambassador to sedan has warned. a potential refugee influx from the northeast african country can overwhelm europe. a transsexual government is attempting to try and restore peace and stability there right now, which the russian ambassador says is crucial to avert a potential humanitarian crisis. picking sudden sedans is indeed located in a turbulent place. geographically, it's regional surroundings are a source of instability that could lead to conflict in the region, and the consequences of such a conflict will be felt far beyond the countries borders. i mean, 1st of all, a huge flocks of migrants instabilities. sedan would from them to head north to europe, which will be a nightmare for our partners if saddam were to disintegrate, which i'm not saying is on the agenda of god forbid. but generally, if the suggest a scenario occurred, it would displace a huge mass of people who would seek a country where they could secure a decent living. that's why our main goal now is to spare no effort and secure stability to done in this very responsible period of time. you repeat the situation
11:22 am
and so darn remains trouble rather than precarious. an uncertain as it was just a few weeks ago in the immediate aftermath of what many called the military school when it intervened into government business. and since then, the military and the prime ministers of the civilian prime minister have cut a deal, a power sharing deal both sides saying that this was the best option out of many options above even was they hope that this will prevent or stop and stall the downward spiral here, and so don, economically in terms of prizes as well as socially and politically. the instability was reaching critical levels and it shows there is a lot less instability. it is evident, put as the drawing much fewer people when instead of a hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands. we're seeing it here at the capital. just a few 1000 people here in the opposition called opposition schools for, for
11:23 am
a 1000000 people say to come out and to protest against the prime minister decision to form an alliance with the military. something that many opposition activists here are unhappy with a divided over. mm. ah, we're seeing of worrying patton, emerging all over the world now, these inflation price hikes, it is especially acutely felt here. and so don and surrounding countries where people had very little to begin with where there is not enough humanitarian aid. there may or inflation is in the thousands of percent. and that is, that is a cause for a lab because as people get angry, hungry and more desperate,
11:24 am
they could reach a crescendo. a crescendo which will be felt the consequences of which will be felt throughout the region and internationally. broadcast, if a senior correspond reporting from there will from worries about a potential new migrant crisis to one that's already happening has been long term. joe biden is about to adopt to migration policy. he previously called in humane and that had been promoted by donald trump. it set to force migrants to stay in mexico while the claims for asylum in the u. s. a being processed. this is 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 was sufficiently
11:25 am
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 u. s. borders since joe biden has taken office,
11:26 am
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 and tried to dismantle, but it appears it will be re instated source. this came in just last hour, take john's google and matter owner of instagram of whatsapp may be fined up to 10 percent of the russian revenue of the country's media watchdog, sued them for repeated failure to delete illegal content with more on it. a
11:27 am
correspondent daniel hawkins. well, the problem really is a longstanding dispute on a stalemate between rational authorities and western social media and tech joint. see former accusing the latter of bringing to russian law by failing to remove access to harmful content on line on russian territory. now, social media media joint such as facebook, now matter as one of the others, like google and youtube has already been repeatedly found guilty in russian course of breaking the law. take one example. youtube. this year found guilty of 16 administrative violations. find a total of $37.00 and a half 1000000 roubles. that's about half a $1000000.00 rushing into the watch store, claiming my fail to remove around 2 and a half 1000 pieces of harmful content. what they mean by that is anything from access to child, pornography and materials promoting drug use and sales through other extreme with content facebook. another company found guilty of 19 breaches amounting to nearly $1000000.00 in fines going back to 2019. and some of these companies haven't even
11:28 am
paid the fine to, to the court, see it all those google have claimed they are in compliance at least the by their ability with russian legislation enforcing these rules and deleting up to 96 percent of bind content. paying all the fines, google se never moved just in the 1st half of this year, around half a 1000000 videos that just goes to show the scale of this problem, which both sides are dealing with. authorities know now the reason mistakes they will be taking these cases of the google of meta to court on the 24th of december of this year. and the following. the farm could be much higher as high as 10 percent. now, all of these a tech jones profits in russia to put that into perspective. last year, for example, google's affiliate in russia, reported profits of 1700000000 roubles. that's around $23000000.00. so you can see this is going to have a much bigger dent on their profits in the country. now this spring also,
11:29 am
which is also placed new requirements on around 13 top 10 companies to open officers in russia. that will include also registering an accounts on the russian internet watchdogs website and opening a channel of communication with uses here in russia. now the watch, the claims, they welcome constructive dialogue with these companies, but they also say they're going to use all the measures at their disposal. a lot of these companies matter, for example, still haven't officially commented on how exactly or if it's all they intend to comply with these regulations and open their offices in russia. so companies, year, once this quote process is over, there could be several outcomes. the internet tech joins could face an even bigger hit to the profits, access of these sites can be slow down in russia. that's something what stock has already done. what everyone is hoping for, of course, is some sort of consensus and compromise. because in the case of them being found guilty and no such consensus being reached, that really will be no winners. so all eyes really all nor while on christmas eve
11:30 am
to see how that quote process goes. yeah. what a present that could be for them. well, that's all for this news, addition color brace here in half an hour. thank you so much for checking in reporting for moscow for you. my name's kevin o, in standby for next programs and you all part of the world here on our to international the global broadcaster life from russia. ah, ah, ah ah, ah.
