a friday evening at 8 here in moscow. my name's collin bray. welcome to you. well, news from archie, international 1st violating asylum rights campaign, is around great. an e u solution for asylum seekers attempting to get into europe through the been a russian border. there still thousands stranded in bella roost at a temporary shelter set up by the authorities that well now brussels wants to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants in special camps while it happens. but write scripts warned that that could set 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. u. borders puts politics over people's lives. b, e. u is trying to get tough on migration, particularly on its east in bo,
12:02 pm
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 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
12:03 pm
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 e. u is accused bellow 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 protect people. we are giving flexibility and support to member states to manage this emergency situation without compromising on human
12:04 pm
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 law makers of finding this pretty hard to swallow. they describe the move as lowering you standards and even violating you look, 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. the proposal suggests that migrants white in special camps on the you territory while the applications of processed. however, the head of ox farms e u office believes the conditions in those kinds of facilities would undermine basic laws. the commissioner also has said that these are not the highest number of migrants, 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
12:05 pm
a situation at the border rises, whether that's now in, in poland, and about 6 days, or whether it's on the southern border with greece to leeward or spain. there's hispanic reaction. and instead of managing it and working as each member states, together to share the responsibility for hosting asylum seekers and for sharing responsibility for the for them asylum proces, 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 led to floor to sign up procedures and to asylum seekers being stuck in detention for months and sometimes even years. and this also means that people were arriving at the border to claim sign him to ask for asylum are often already severely
12:06 pm
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 florida silent procedures in these border border detention center, 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. that doesn't ca, employees, and been involved in alleged sex crimes against children. some a young of 2 years old. and only one of them was charged us the dining revelation after a trove of documents with declassified egos, donald report more than $3600.00 pages of deeply disturbing material.
12:07 pm
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 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 ca, employee was caught with thousands of inappropriate images of children. on his work
12:08 pm
laptop. the agency employee, his youth, 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 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 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 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
12:09 pm
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 serious the any allegations that are prosecutors declined to 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. we're still waiting to hear back from the cia and the
12:10 pm
us attorney's office in virginia. we've asked them for further comment on this. meanwhile, pharmacy i whistleblower john kerry aucker told us 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
12:11 pm
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. ah, and you can re more on that story and the allegations against the cia adulthood dot com will health organization says 38 nations of now detected cases of the new cove. it variant on the crone that's up from 23 since just wednesday in the a u. a dozen countries and now affected on the races on then to get more people vaccinated than for others to get the 3rd shot when necessary. but nursing unions from 28 countries say the developing world is getting left behind. and they're blaming vaccine patents for causing avoidable deaths. that demanding of pharma
12:12 pm
firms dropped them monopoly on the potentially life saving jobs. 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 where not, not us. we represent more than 2 and a half 1000000 health care workers worldwide. we asked that opens for corvette 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 and spain are already in support of this initiative as a big balance and purchasing power to rich countries of obtained $7000000000.00. doses of coven vaccines are compared to just 300000000 shots available to people in
12:13 pm
low income nations. and health unions say that imbalance could lead to even more deaths, ma'am coloma, repeal, or once of grim repercussions if the world doesn't adopt a single vaccination strategy. as gala by young damica, unless you are not the only constrained 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 cooperation in the field of vaccines. the initiative is commendable, but although it initially seemed to have a well thought out strategy, it did not dealt 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, social it's more than $700000.00 potential cancer cases in england. that should
12:14 pm
have been urgently referred to doctors have been missed since the pandemic began. it's according to a damning report from a government watchdog, a lead in cancer search and says the national audit of his findings reflect the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. how the reports also find that one in for cancer patients have been on waiting lists for months and up to 60000, missed their 1st treatments to to lockdown sound. the threatened cove, it or the report recognizes that the governments were leasing extra funds to fight the problem. the medic suborning. that is nowhere near enough. the national old office report shows who are in the middle of the biggest cancer catastrophe ever hit the n. a chess there is a deadly cocktail of delays across the board, a regional lottery of cancer inequality and to cro in cancer backlog. and it feels like the government and in a chest leaders have their heads in the sand. have contact to the chests in england for commer, we'll let you know as soon as they get back. let's talk now to doctor simon clot,
12:15 pm
who's a microbiologist at redding university. welcome to ality. now that that was a backlog was known for a long time. does the number surprise you though? i yeah, that the number is far too high. it is surprising, but it's not surprising. we should have a backlog all throughout the cave. it saga which is lasted well for, for well every year. and a chest was unable to deal with its normal caseload. and arguably could have been even worse without the lock downs. so those cases are just going to mount hawk. was there any way though that an h. s. england could adequately maintain care for cancer and other major illnesses given the sudden influx of cobra patients that they had to deal with. well yeah, there were ways some cancer centers did manage. it was difficult, was not easy. and of course there are questions about infrastructure. so
12:16 pm
regional kansas and for example, may have better infrastructure and better ability to cape than a more local center. so it's not always straightforward, but it can be done. i would not moving out of the worst of that situation or does treatment at a lack of hospital bed still remained a critical issue in england it's, it's still going to be critical issue. the winter is always pipelines and i can see us having, if not disastrous time, this week probably won't be process. it will be tight because he's news and we've got these cap this crazy backlog to going forward. then does something need to change in the way an h. s. england operates to ensure that this doesn't happen again, because this is the reality we're all going to have to live with for years now. the failure is, is a one of capacity at the moment and you cannot magic up hospitals, doctors and nurses overnight. there are things that can be done by using capacity
12:17 pm
in the, in the private sector. but that, that's probably not going to be enough in and of itself. winters never a good time. they are in a chest now more than ever really, isn't it? okay, talk to simon clark from reading university. thank you for joining us. you're welcome . russia's ambassador to sudan has warned that her potential refugee influx from that northeast african country could overwhelm europe. a transitional 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. stick a sudden sedan is indeed located in a turbulent place. geographically, his original 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 flux of migrants, instability, 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, god forbid. but generally, if it's just
12:18 pm
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 abilities to done in this very responsible period of time. you repeat the situation and so darn remains troubled, rather than precarious and uncertain as it was just a few weeks ago. in the immediate aftermath and 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 side, saying that this was the best option out of many options above even worse. they hope that this will prevent or stop and stall the downward spiral here and sedan economically, in terms of prizes as well as socially and politically. the instability was reaching critical levels and it shows there is
12:19 pm
a lot less instability. it is evident protests are drawing much fewer people when instead of ah, hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands we're seeing in here the capital. just a few 1000 people here in the opposition called opposition schools for, for a 1000000 people say to come out and to protest against the prime minister decision . a former alliance with the military. something that many opposition activists here are, are unhappy with a divided over 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 surrounded countries where
12:20 pm
people had very little to begin with, where there is not enough humanitarian aid and where inflation is in the thousands of percent. and that is, that is a cause for alarm because as people get angry, hungry and more desperate, they could reach a crescendo, a crescendo which will be felt the consequences of which will be felt throughout the region and internationally. a danish investment bank sack so has published its annual list of so called black swung predictions for next year. events that are around likely to occur, but would have extreme consequences on the global economy if they did. so let's chew up then. here is some of the stand out claims, it's come up with china, us rivalry will spark a new space race and a new cold war. skyrocketing commodity prices and unrealistic deadlines will make governments ditch their critical climate change pledges. america's self proclaimed
12:21 pm
status as a democratic beacon will come to an end, as it's worse, constitutional and economic crises since the 2nd mobile before president biden, to govern through emergency powers are awesome. optimistic predictions. so don't be to where it scientists attempt to create a drug cocktail to extend our lives by decades. have despite the bank admitting that that is all actually unlikely to happen. commentators know that it has sometimes coughing spot on, and least of all when it predicted 3 years ago that big coined meteoric rise would end for i. let's talk about these predictions then. let's feel for patrick, young, global financial markets exposure to have you on the program, patrick. first of all, then i know some of them seem a bit far fetched, but geopolitical tensions. they can rattle markets and effect the fortunes of economies. just one in particular, russia revealed this week that has had to develop a hypersonic missile, the counter native encroachment in europe to these geopolitical tensions. and the u . s. ratcheting up tensions. how likely are they to affect america's konami in the
12:22 pm
new year? i think it's very exciting what's going on at the moment because what we're seeing is actually the military industrial complex for once have have the private sector actually catch up with them. so if you look at the sort of weapons that we had during the cold war and say the 1960, between the soviet block and an online states on the western world of nato and so on. actually at that point in time, the governments are really far ahead, neither developing hypersonic weapons. why? because actually supersonic technology is in the demand of the private sector quite significantly are, we'll never job another major crisis. and so it will, of course there is one thing about all the predictions which are you've got to make, not really just prediction. and you've also got to scare people because then i guess, well, company to come on television like myself from the average working that larry block in, in order to talk about what's going on. where are we going to be with all of this sort of thing? hypersonic weapons are absolutely a reality who's approaching on her. well, that's open for a huge amount of debate. hope now we're good bottle of red wine on friday evening.
12:23 pm
at the same time, hypersonic is the thing, whether it's going to come this year or next year or the year after it's going to be there. it's the same thing with quantum computing. all of those. ready are certainly sparking tensions because why do we end up with cold, worse because of paranoia because people are scared of some foreign person that they, um you're in a far away country of which they know level may well be developing something that might give them a huge strategic advantage? well, that's the you are saying, well, that's russia. well, that's china warranting. whether it's another super part of that we're not aware of at the moment. it's all happening in the technological space right here. a stock market which often seem to live a life of their own oblivious to inflation, social pressures, economic, precious. if they continue to escalate though, everybody loses that, even the shareholders like women, this very, very strange situation with the us stock market and a lot of the rest of the world stock market. usually we go through a year, we have one or 210 percent callbacks. we're not the point where we can barely managed to remember things that happened before cove it or indeed last time that
12:24 pm
the stock market to buy more than 10 percent, which was really up very, very started the whole cobit pandemic, one that was very, very short, sharp shocked to the system, there's obviously a dislocation in there, of course, because we've seen the head of the federal reserve finally announcing the fact that inflation is back and therefore we're gonna have to get away from this funny money . weird stuff that we've been talking about for the course of my goodness, the last 10 or more years. i mean good grief. we've been talking about it before r t as a channel even existed. that's all kicking off. undoubtedly something in there is going to destabilize what's going on in finance, and then we have indeed, i mean sac. so we're making all of their predictions. what bitcoin many years ago, the distributed ledger, what's happening with the technology there is fundamentally altering the whole epi, center of finance. and the united states of america needs to be very concerned because they're undergoing a higher fees of regulation. if they regulate too far, they might well push business away from their borders. one thing that doesn't seem
12:25 pm
over far fetched is the thought that a lot of countries or political leaders won't take much. persuading to renee on climate change goals that they've all tentatively sort of signed up to. i'm just going to take a break politician that went, try and go for popularity points if it means that they've got to burn more coal look, i mean, we're in a ridiculous situation. i mean, we have this amazing bidding war pushed by a global cabal of n g o z. and frankly go p government fund. i think one of the things which actually i'm amazed that fact. so don't make more of the fact of how many governments at the moment are actually being run by spineless people who really don't seem to be in charge. and that to me, strikes me as a huge potential inflection point. and yes, the whole green bubble, nobody is arguing about the idea that we need to do a great deal more. but actually what we need to be doing is incentivizing the private sector to frankie catch up. because at the moment, the idea that we're just going to force homeowners into spending tens of thousands
12:26 pm
of their hard earned dollars rubles pine zeroes into buying lots of technology that doesn't necessarily work yet. in order to be a tiny bit greener is not a feasible solution. nor frankly, is getting voters to go back and live in my house. so we could have a space race. we could have a new cold war. we'll have a planet on fire and we won't be able to afford anything cuz commodity prices are high. but scientists will have drugs that will allow us to live for decades longer than we do. we're ready. would you sign up for that? look the the deck is longer the longevity picture. that's inevitable. i'm in fact so can just keep publishing not for the next 3 or 4 years, they're going to get it right within the course of the next 5 or 6. there's no argument about whatsoever. i suppose we are, however, left with that worry in point were, as i think it was the brit which and parliamentarian planet freud, men live in sleep talked about, you know, when you're getting to the point where something goes on for an incredibly long time. and you're actually not able to enjoy life, enjoy alcohol and enjoy the wonders of things. it's not really
12:27 pm
a case that you're living longer. it just feels longer. and certainly we want our lives to be as enjoyable, active, and interesting as possible. but of course, it would be good to see a lot of people thinking and active for longer because then they will solve the problems of trying to change. they will solve a lot of the issues in terms of managing to make the world more peaceful and better place. and hopefully, we'll get an inflation under control to vote out, as you alluded to earlier, and a leading economists agree, these kinds of black swan events are increasingly likely given how interconnected the world economy is right now, is the power of that underestimated the speed with which these sorts of problems can manage to explode, are, frankly not hugely different to where they were a 150 years ago with the speed of the telegraph and so on, which revolutionized financial markets. millet 19th century, of course, we're now gone into nanoseconds rather than mere minutes, where we were with the telegraph a 150 years ago. what is totally different though?
12:28 pm
i think of something which actually i'm surprised saxon when talk you might more is the way that the whole financial structure is pushing away from the large behemoth institutions that have been used to having the game all of their own for the course of the last 102050 years, really all the way since the end of the 2nd world war. and it's fascinating to see high thanks to the internet where empowering individual investors and those individual investors are using technologies like boxing. they're using things like roku currency to effectively change the world. and that's gonna have a huge impact because the next financial market crash is going to be very, very different to what we saw in say 2007 to personally, which was a period of great institutional change, the bankruptcy of lehman brothers, et cetera, et cetera. next time ron watch what the retail traders are going to be doing because they might provoke it were at the same time they might actually come to its rescue and proceed. valued. were a lot of the institutions of panic. in either case, it's going to be a very,
12:29 pm
very exciting market to watch on that. is there any shops left and then on a warehouses my buying online? patrick, it's been great to talk to you. i hope that your 2022 is going to be a lot more peaceful and prosperous and sax. our products, thanks for joining us. thank. he called next joe biden is about to adopt a migration policy that he previously called, inhumane. and that have been prompted by dr. promoted by donald trump. it's set to force migrants to stay in mexico while their claims for asylum in the united states are being processed. this is the 1st president united states america. there's 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 the implementation. what sufficiently called the migrant protection protocols,
12:30 pm
though it's commonly referred to as the remain in mexico program, 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.
