hell headlining this, our asylum seekers may have to wait months at the e u. belarus border to get processed. if a do plan from brussels gets the go ahead. white group say the move throws away the rollbook. the thing unions around the globe call for covert vaccine patents to be lifted. blaming production restrictions for depths in the developing world. the army constrain will be followed the others if we did not act. and if all countries in it adhere to a single vaccination strategy and the okay, high court sets a legal precedence where the ruling, the doctors could be found liable for negligent preconception advice after a woman born with a spine defect suit, her mother's general practitioner, we'll debate the case later this, our ah

hello, live our worldwide. this is our to international from moscow. my name is colleen bray. welcome to world news 1st, then a violating asylum right campaign at her angry at an e u. solution for asylum seekers attempting to get into europe through the been russian border. there were still thousands stranded in bella, roasted 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 right groups of warning that would 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 criminalize in people trying to find safety in europe breaks, international and european asylum law, supporting the detention of migrants at e. u. borders puts politics over people's lives. you is trying to get tough

on migration, particularly on its eastern borders. now in a bid to tackle the issue there, 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 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,

you have been high for many months. the, all you is accused better routes 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 bell roost. minsk though, rejects these allegations. there are currently thought to be around $8000.00 migrants being held in centers in eastern european countries after they crossed over the border from belarus 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 com promising on human rights. this should allow the member states in

question to fully uphold the right to asylum and align legislation. looky, look ways. but 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 lot, 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, even ski r t paris on the proposal suggests that migrants weight in special camps on the u territory while their applications processed. however, the head of ox firms 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

a situation at the border rises, whether that is now in, in poland and the baltic states, or whether it's on the southern border with glazier to leeward or spain. there's hispanic reaction and instead of managing it and working as you 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 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 up to for asylum,

who are often already severely traumatized to have often several vulnerabilities. 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 these florida sign and procedures are in india 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. well, health organization says 38 nations have now detected cases of the new covey variant. all micron. that's up from 23 since just this wednesday. well, now the race is on to get more people vaccinated for others to release their 3rd shot. but nursing unions from 28 countries say the developing world is being left behind. and they're blaming vaccine patents for causing avoidable deaths. they're

demanding that farmer firms dropped them. an awfully on the potentially life saving jap. 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 mast illness and large numbers of fatalities. in those countries, there should be reason enough to address the crisis of global vaccine apartheid where not numbers represent more than 2 and a half 1000000 healthcare 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, was a big balance and purchasing power to rich countries of obtained 7000000000 doses of covert vaccines. and that compares to just 300000000 shots available to people

in low income nations. and health unions say the unbalanced could lead to even more deaths wellness, paloma repair once of grim repercussions if the world doesn't adopt a unified vaccination strategy. is kayla by young dominique. unless you don't know, the only constrain will be followed by others. if we do not act in all countries dinner and here 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 all the it initially seemed to have a well thought our strategy, it didn't up yet the expected results. are you an actor today? 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 right in order to create vaccines and distribute them right as primarily in low income and middle income economies specials, more than $700000.00 the potential cancer cases in england. those should have been

urgently referred to doctors have been missed since the pandemic began. as according to a damning report from a government watchdog or leading cancer surgeon says the national audit office findings reflect the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. how the report also finds that one him for cancer patients have been on waiting lists for months and up to 60000 miss their 1st treatment due to lockdown. and the threat of catching cove it . or the report recognizes that the government's releasing extra funds to find the problem. but medic suborning, it's nowhere near enough. the national audit 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. i have contacted any testing gland for comment, will let you know if we get a response a spokesperson did release a statement earlier, admitting that the extra demands of treating corona virus victims of affected their

ability to provide routine a non urgent care earlier on our tea british microbiologist, professor simon clark told us that at all, points to some difficult months ahead. false battles the number is far too high, eighties, surprising, but it's not surprising where we should have a backlog all throughout. the caveat saga, which is lasted well for, for, well, every year. and i was unable to deal with his normal case load. and arguably could have been even worse without the law downs. so those cases are just going to mountain top. it's still going to be a critical issue. the winter is always python sitting lives. and i can see us having, if not disastrous time, this week probably won't be process. it will be tight. critique is and we've got this cast, this kind of some cancer centers did manage, it was difficult,

it was not easy. and of course said there are questions about infrastructure. so regional kansas and for example, may have better infrastructure and better ability to code a more local center. so it's not always straightforward, but it can be done. much better to sit down has warned the potential refugee influx from that ne african country could overwhelm europe. a transitional governments attempting to try and restore peace and stability, that right now, which the russian ambassador says is crucial to avert a potential humanitarian crisis to cancel them. 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 fox 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 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 sedan in this very responsible period of time where you at least 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 how many options above be 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 ah,

was reaching critical levels and it shows there is 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 at and to protest against the prime minister the decision to form an 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 nowadays,

inflation rise heights. it is especially acutely felt here and so darn and surrounded countries where people had very little to begin with. where there is not enough humanitarian a then 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. ex, the u. k. hi courses set a legal precedent where the ruling, the doctors can be found liable for negligent preconception advice. it's offered 20 year old form with a spine defect successfully sued her mother's doctor, for failing to recommend vital supplements of the judge found that the evie tombs mother was not advised in accordance with the guidance to take folic acid pride to conception. and for the 1st 12 weeks of pregnancy,

of the amount of water in compensation will be decided at a later hearing and is likely to be significances. miss tombs will require extensive care for the rest of her life. provided with the correct recommended advice she would have delayed attempts to conceive in the circumstance as there would have been a later conception which would have resulted in a normal healthy child. let's discuss it. i will talk to the i get his gpa in england and also toll radio host and college john called both welcome to the program. first you dr. reg, it it, does this make you feel you going to have to double 2nd triple guess? every decision you make a bit of advice, you get your patients. you know, i think, i mean medicine is a pretty hard job anyway. you gave is always very important the re documented to make sure 1st of all, remember we said secondly that we can eliminate if needed, but also tobacco. what we said is actually what happens now, it takes quite

a long time to document that information. and i think this scenario show, it's actually been a, has take much longer time in the future to very clearly document the advice we give and more importantly, actually the advice that we don't get. so it's kind of a significant sound upon our time, john, this is to take the sense to doctors and patients. well is a very difficult subject, this and very sensitive subject, of course. and i do worry for the doctors as well because you know, the doctors are there are given the best advice they can. the dispute here in this particular case was that the doctor didn't recommend the folic acid. now we are getting up into bread in the u. k in the next few months. so that's gonna help this situation. have this woman, this evie tombs, she would rather have not been born because she has got a sponsor, bertha. so you have to feel incredibly sorry for you have to also say she made a massive success of her life. one of my worries would be for doctors that they would on the side of caution now and perhaps start recommending for other birth

difficulties. may be abortion, i'm thinking particularly of down's syndrome babies when we do know that they these people can go on to lead very successful lives as well. so i wouldn't worry that this would urge doctors to be a bit too cautious. i take a border, the good doctor says that how do you keep reference to everything? i mean, we don't want dogwood data protection. we don't have videos in there and we don't want the doctors taping every single conversation. i just think this is a really tragic case and i wish you had never come to court. i wish the evie had got the help and the assistance she needs. but there is something rather bizarre about somebody saying, and i mean this in a sensitive way. i wish you'd never been born and thin is 20 is too long to bring this through the cause because presumably training that doctors have to go through, you doing it every few months to stay on top of advice on it?

yeah, this is one of the, of the new challenges about documentation. it's about how you're judged because of course, what i do now is medicine. now in 20 years time, we may judge my actions as a doctor has completely wrong because as time progresses and we learn more, our practices progress. so i think was really important is case moving forward is that we as docs, and we as a society judge people according to the time in which we live. no, according to the new standards of the future, matter where to start to judge people according to the stanza future, i can have no idea how madison is going to change. it does change incredibly fast, so i can only act with the best evidence that we have now. i have no idea what the future holds. jo, support a to recommend this folic acid. should he have known that at that time i was talk to my wife about this and we've got 2 daughters, slightly older than eventually 242527, and a lisa my wife who's aware of this,

but she said it wasn't a big thing. you just took a bit more and indeed if your diet was good, before you got pregnant, most up to some of that would be okay. and she for a period of time. and that was the advice when our children were conceived. and boy, they know it. if i may come back on that, if that's okay, i mean if you look at the different advice around the world, the advice that we have here and you came to my minutes to supplement women who are thinking it becoming pregnant with the load x historic acid and especially if the diet is not going to be particularly rich in it, and if there are any particular risks to that pregnancy or even much higher, that's a dollar caston. and just part of this discussion i was actually just looking in some of the lies in the us and the vast new as is certainly different because it's more about supplementing. people is advising that the diet is rich. naturally this case we're talking about was 20 years in year 2001 i think it was. and around like sort of time we 2 would probably have been giving advice off. well, if your diet is rich and go to kathy, keep that up,

keep doing it. don't necessarily need to supplement. so again, it's really hard to judge what happened back in 2001 based on the standards we have today in the words that we have today's you give a supplement, i'm not sure that was the case in 2000. and john, do you think it will make a difference if some kind of legal firewall was built in for doctors? because the job is highly pressured enough, trying to save people's lives and try to look out for them from cradle to grave. if there was some kind of protection for them against legal action like this because they're already rules, about negligence. so for doctor is found to be not doing their job to the best their ability. those laws are already in place. yeah, i think so little so in this case we got to remember the doctor didn't prescribe something. he didn't give the mother something that made any of this happen. they did it all centered around, should he told her more about folic acid? so i've got a lot of sympathy if the doctor of clearly goal or sympathy for mother, annie, b, e, v, a self, responibility at terrible, terrible illness. we all know that

a disease butcher. i just feel that her doctors at the moment have been hit every which way out that they're being hit because they haven't seen of patients because the coded. but then they were the ones we were banging tins for and clapping in the sri. i mean, i've got 2 doctors in my family in my extended family gps. i've never seen them look so tired, they're completely shattered. they're strung out and i don't know whether there can be a total guidebook about in this position. you should do only this because the doctors, they're got 10 minutes, they look at you and often, you know, they, they, they give their advice. and then as you leave, you say all this just this as well. so how sympathy for the dog was miss. but i've got immense sympathy for e v as well. and you know, and also go about 20 years, just have to be a statute limitations sort of thing that, you know, can you really bring what you can because it's happened. can you bring the case 20 years after so many port afford? i mean, this isn't the leader mind where somebody was given, you know,

a tablet. it isn't that kind of situation. it's you know what happened in that surgery on that day when that lady came and said, i'm thinking, getting pregnant, what did the doctor say or not say, now we have to go with what the court as a judge to be the situation. but it doesn't really give doctors faction, i do worry that doctors now when they see any kind of operate problem in inverted commas and particularly referred her to down syndrome. and again, i've got down syndrome, friends at other than their lives should necessarily be terminated. and that's the danger. if we go down this route and see what i mean. yeah, i'm scared about that. and dean, does this mean that the doctors might have to formalize advice? because if, if i was applying for a mortgage, i have to sign a document saying, this is the best advice, but the, the end of the day, it's your decision. and that kind of clears that advisor from anything that might go wrong with my finances. and yet, when it comes to medical advice of which we know far less than you do after your

years of training, does that mean advice now has to be formalized and contractual lines? yeah, that has to be aligned somewhere, doesn't matter. because of course, we recognize that and patients don't know certain details of medicine, it's our job to and teach them to bring them on that journey to get them both so that we can make decisions together to treat the problem. and actually if the patient hasn't even thought of the medical, that's my job to, to try to bring it to their attention. but there are some things that are in the public domain. people do know that is quite common sense. but if we're saying and all that common sense stuff to falls into the lap of the doctor to have to deal with and say, well kamani who's doctors responsibility to tell you how to live your life. what to do? not only they're responsible for prescribing, but also responsible for telling you how to live healthily and if you don't have healthy, that's the doctor's thoughts. and that's an impossible situation to doctors to work it. and i suspect it's on the case, the many doctors receive the profession,

it will become too risky, and we're reasonably risk averse by riley. so on behalf of the patient. so the has to be aligned between this is the treatment we gave. this is how we protect you, but also we require you as patients to educate yourself where possible and use common sense. so what, where is the buyer beware in all this? them? westerbelt, sorry, the buyer beware where it becomes the onus is on the patient themselves. in order to look after themselves, so you can give advice and tell people not to smoke, not to drink, take, give it 5 a day, fruit and veg. at the end of the day, if somebody ends up overweight and with a lung condition for smoking, they still can't blame me. so what point does that owners have responsibility for back on the patient? you know what we're already in jeopardy because that's exactly the situation we doctors name at the moment. for example, if i was to get the patients and advice today and the patient doesn't necessarily follow that advice, doesn't necessarily come back to see me again, like i ask them to do. and then suddenly they develop this illness and they come back and see me and say, well, the doctor found it. my argument back would be,

well, you didn't come back to me like ask you to or you didn't do the things that i asked you to. nonetheless, i will have to go through the process of calls and then the possibility that the individual may be successful if they can prove that i was negligent and how i deliver that information and how i helped them fulfill their own this bargain. john, it doesn't bode well, i trust it. i often think that any. okay, because it's free at the point of delivery. all are in a chest care, sometimes the public forgetting to contract for us and the doctor, us and the hospital. and we have to do our bit and i'm not saying in this particular case, but that's what i feel falls down. or we've seen this with cove heavily recently. you know, the way people talk about it. and i think that dr. shaft to do evidence. you've got to do your b 2 and you've got to listen to what the doctor says. but too many people, how take all their medical advice from twitter or facebook. it was bad when we had

encyclopedias. it got worse when people google, but now people are taking a lot of their advice from treacher and facebook. and clearly there's a lot of fake news out them. again, i'm referring to the pandemic here mainly, but i think we've got to get back to the family gp. you go to them, you build a relationship over several years and you've got to trust them. but we do need perhaps now in the light of this case, we need to put some safety guidelines in there, both to the patient and for the doctor. i mean, i do find it incredible that 20 years after this, the doctor is in this position with his whole life ruined. and i still of immense sympathy, obviously, for the lady involved as georgia. it's extremely emotive case, isn't it? okay, we have to leave it there, john, go on door to the and i get thanks very much for joining us on our take. good adobe . thank you. next to night danish

investment bank sacks. i was published an annual list of so called black swan predictions for next year, events that are unlikely to occur, but if they did, they would have extremely serious consequences for the global economy. so let's chew of these are some of the stand out claims. china, us rivalry will spark a new space race and a global cold war. skyrocketing commodity prices and unrealistic deadlines will make governments ditch their critical climate change pledges. america's self proclaimed status as a democratic beacon will come to an end, as it's worse, constitutional and economic crisis since the 2nd mobile will force president biden, to govern through emergency powers. there are some optimistic predictions to not many, but he has one scientists tip to create a drug cocktail that extend our lives by decades. well, despite the bank admitting that that's all actually unlikely to happen, commentators do note that sex have sometimes got things spot on like of an it predicted 3 years ago. the bitcoin meteoric rise would end a global financial market textbook,

patrick young earlier on our teeth give us his own thoughts about the predictions. of course, there is one thing about all these predictions which are you've got to make, not really just prediction. and you've also got to scare people, hypersonic weapons are absolutely a reality who's approaching on her. well, that's open for a huge amount of debate. hope me, we're good bottle of red wine on friday evening whether it's going to come this year or next year or the year after it's going to be there 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. what is totally different though? i think it's something which actually i'm surprised. fax or when talk you my 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 boston. 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 gonna be very, very different to what we saw in say 20072008, 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 it's rescue unperceived. valued were a lot of the institutions of panic. in either case, it's going to be a very, very exciting market to watch. so happy new year if it comes for i, we're joining scotty now here in washington, shortly after, which i'll be here to update you on the big stories were tracking hairs art, se in moscow or a look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people,

a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with again, there are rumors of war. there are rumors of invasion and again the country is ukraine. their allegations of a russian military build up within the countries borders. though it is a fact, ukraine is receiving legal aid from nato countries.
