let the world you live in abolished slavery long ago. ah, ah, headlining this, our asylum seekers may have to wait months at the e u. bella roost folder to get processed. if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead. rights group say the move throws away the rule book, cia is embroiled and a child sex abuse scandal that involves children as young as 2 years old, with all but one alleged offender going unpunished, according to declassified documents. and thus the giddeons around the globe. coal for cove, it vaccine patents to be lifted, blaming production restrictions for deaths in the developing world. if the army constrain will be followed the others, if we cannot act and eat all countries in at here to single vaccinations, tracking ah

hello live from moscow. this is alta international as well news at 11 with me. colin break 1st violating asylum writes campaign is, are angry at an e u solution for asylum seekers who were attempting to get into europe through the bell of russian border bristol, thousands stranded in bella, roosted a temporary shelter set up by the authorities. 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, that it's border, it throws out any authority as on human rights in the rule of law, stopping detaining, and criminalize and people trying to find safe in europe, brakes international and european asylum law supporting the detention of migrants at e. u. borders. what's politics over people's lives?

the e. u is trying to get tough on migration, particularly on its eastern borders. now in a bid to tackle the issue there, it's granted 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 of playing politics with people's lives and bowing to pressure from eastern european member states. and that saying 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 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 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 for to member states to manage this emergency situation

without compromising on human rights. this should allow the member states in question to fully uphold the right to asylum and align legislation with you. a quiz . quit even you diplomats and law makers of finding this pretty hard to swallow. they've describe the move as lowering you standards and even violating you law, leaving many to question how the you can hold itself up as a protector on human rights on the one hand and implement these measures on the other. charlotte, even ski r t. paris proposal suggests the migrants weight in special camps on the u territory while the applications are processed. however, the head of ox from c u office, believe 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 to now in, in poland and the baltic states, or whether it's on the southern border with community 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 aside and 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 him to ask 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 humane asylum process. so that's the 1st concern. and then the 2nd concern is, but because of these florida asylum procedures are in these border border detention tantra. it will also make it much easier to send people back and to harm. we choose a clear violation of international refugee long. so those are the 2 main concerns for us. that doesn't stay employee to be involved in alleged sex crimes against children as young as 2 years old in some cases. but only one of them is being charged. that's the dining revelation. ultra tropi documents would be classified as a course 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 social 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 us 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 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 $75.00 pages mention anything of the sort. they do mention a cia contract to them who crawled into the darkest corner of the internet and thought he was seducing a child. the child, luckily, turned out to be an undercover of b. i agent 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 serious the any allegation the 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. no,

we're still waiting to hear back from the cia and the us attorney's office in virginia. we've asked them for comment. meanwhile, former cia whistle blow donkey reaku, 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

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. the wealth organization says 38 nations of now detected cases of the new covey variant omicron that's up from 23 since just wednesday. and the race is now on to get more people vaccinated and others, the 3rd shult. but nursing unions from 28 countries say the developing world is being left behind. and that blaming vaccine peyton's for causing avoidable deaths. that amounting to the pharma 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 emergence 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. was a big balance and purchasing power to rich countries have obtained 7000000000 doses of covert vaccines. and i compared to just a 300000000 shops available to people in low income nations. and the health union say the imbalance could lead to even more deaths on nurse, paloma repair warrants of grim repercussions if the world doesn't adopt

a unified vaccination strategy. is gala by young dominique, unless you are not the only constrain will be followed by others. if we do not act, and if all countries do not adhere to a single vaccination strategy, at the moment, there is a global kovacs initiative aimed at corporation in the field of excellence. the initiative is commendable, but all the it initially seemed to have a well thought our strategy. it didn't appeal to the expected results. i don't actually today, we're facing an equality. despite the efforts of high income countries, only 14 percent of the vaccine convex should have received who are provided with feel it is necessary to remove intellectual property rights in order to create vaccines and distribute them quite as primarily in low income and middle income economies specials. more than 700000 potential cancer cases in england, that should have been urgently referred to doctors have been missed since the pandemic began. as according to a damning report from a government more stock leading cancer surgeon says the national audit of his

findings reflect the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. out the report also finds that one and for cancer patients have been on waiting lists for months and up to 60000 missed their 1st treatment to to lockdown and the threat of catching cove it . and the report recognizes that the government is releasing extra funds to fight the problem, but medics of warning that it's nowhere near enough. the national always, it all says report shows were in the middle of the biggest cancer catastrophe ever hit the n h s. there is a deadly cocktail of delays across the board. a breach in a lottery of cancer inequality and declaring cancer backlog. and it feels like the government and in a chest leaders have their heads in the sand. we've contacted and h has england for com. i will let you know if we get a response for the spokesperson did release a statement earlier. admitting that the extra demands of treating corona virus victims have affected their ability to provide routine and non urgent care. earlier r t, british microbiologist, professor simon clark said that settled points some difficult months ahead for

hospitals. now. yeah, that number is, are far too high. it is surprising, but it's not surprising what we should have about that backlog. i'm all throughout the cove, it's saga, which is lasted well for, for well over a year. and then a chest was unable to deal with his normal caseload. arguably could have been even worse without a lot gowns. so those cases are just going to mount top. i'd say it's still going to be critical issue. the winter is always a tight time the in a chair sitting lids. ah, and i can only see a ced having if not a disastrous time. this winter probably won't be disastrous. it will be tight because he usually is and we've got this cat, this craving backlog to some cancer centers did manage. it was difficult, was not easy. ah, and of course there, there are questions to be answered about infrastructure. so region cancer center,

for example, may have better infrastructure and better ability to cope than a more local center. so it's not always straightforward, but it can be done. well, with all the worlds current, pressing, woes, light cove, it and how hama chronic threatening to derail the festive season. for a lot of people, politicians have got other matters on their minds. it seems not least choosing the right language to describe the and winter holidays will tell you more about that along with other stories after the break. ah. join me every posting on the alex simon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess from the world politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . personal pinnacle of evolution. everything's

a bacterium. is the product of 4000000000 years of evolution. it is in a specific environment. so a week. so in that sense, when we on the last few survivors are then develop a long, long process you. so as in silver springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well. we will do much better in that sense. again, there are rumors of war. there are rumors of invasion and again the country is ukraine. their allegations of a russian military buildup within the countries borders. though it is a fact, ukraine is receiving legal aid from nato countries who benefits from this strategy with ah,

hello again. lawmakers have criticized european commission plans for so called woke christmas. politicians warned the inclusive language proposed. it is essentially an effort to cancel christian traditions and lacks common sense. his r t, saskia taylor. 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 arts 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 ah,

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, europe is overwhelmingly christian. so when the document got leaks, there 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. i grew up in the family, were christmas, has 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, the probably not to surprise, but one institution with a particular bone to pick was the catholic church. what was it being begotten? tradition on christmas, and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issued this rebuke. a boy, there is the cancellation of our route, just a christian. i mentioned a for europe, especially with regard to christian festival. with the fear of god to put in to her daddy withdrew the guidelines as they clearly need more walk. yes, meaning christmas has been saved from the you, grinned chairs for now, but it just seems to be the season for bashing your tide because across the channel, the u. k. government was looking for a taxi, tick tock, so going to encourage students to get faxed before the holidays job. and oh 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 any more. we have been advised by the cabinet office that we should not use the word christmas that the government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don't celebrate christmas. the other option was festive season, which keeps the emotional motivation. we have gone with. don't take coven 19 home for the holidays, as it links to school and university christmas holidays. 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 where power, you want a bon stockings, sabotage santa and just topple the tree on trafalgar square. actually quite light christmas. in fact, the general consensus seems to be, you said i had a christmas because it's a holiday. exactly. nice thing. yeah. we haven't nice things any more. a question that no doubt millions of brits,

our staff to hearing the latest advice from this government official. well for what it's worth. i think i don't think there should be much smoking on the mistletoe. i don't need to do things like that. so yes, we're going to his, our king in every 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 for offensive. yes, they're asking you to read the guidelines. rushes ambassador to sit down has warned that some potential refugee influx from that northeast african country could overwhelm europe. a transitional government attempting to try and restore patients to policy. that right now, which the russian ambassador says is crucial to her to potential humanitarian crisis. to cancel them, sudan 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 of 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 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 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 in 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 nowadays, inflation price hikes. it is especially acutely felt here and saddam and surrounding countries where 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 the 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. danish investment bank at sax, so has published its annual list of so called black swan predictions for next year . events that are unlikely to occur, but would have extreme consequences on the global economy if they did. so let me

che you up. how would you like these is just some of the claims of that making china us rivalry will spark a new space race and also a global cold war. on top of that skyrocketing commodity price is unrealistic, deadlines will make governments ditch those fragile but critical climate change pledges. also, america self proclaimed status as a democratic beacon will come to an end as its worst constitutional and economic crises since the 2nd world will. oh, 4th, president biden, to govern through emergency powers. but there are also some optimistic predictions to a scientist tip to create a drug cocktail and extend on lives by decades. now, despite the bank of missing that, that's all unlikely to happen, commentators note that it has sometimes got things spot on i when it predicted 3 years ago, the bitcoin meteoric rise would end global financial markets expo. patrick young has his own thoughts about the predictions. of course there is one thing about all the predictions which are you going 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 a friday evening whether it's going to come this year or next year or the year after it's going to be there 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 of something which i am surprised. facts are 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. we're empowering individual investors and those individual investors are using technologies like doctrine. they're using things like crap who 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 and say 20072000, which was

a period of great institutional change, the bankruptcy of lehman brothers, et cetera, et cetera. next time or on 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 for a lot of the institution to panic. in either case, it's going to be a very, very exciting market to watch. there are so much look forward to it. and the origins of life on earth, what we know, and what we don't know next in sophia, and co only on an international to own. mm. hm, i have a good day to use my home. i'm going to start simply at a federal reserve for you. don't forget about it. oh, heck, no. what is a refrigerator came when we get the rest, the 7 years?

a report the ah, me come to still visionaries me so if he shivered not say for ages will been trying to trace back the origins of life on earth. how does baron rock turn into stone bass, flourishing, beautiful and abundant as well as professor of evolutionary biochemistry at university college london, nick lane mclean. it's really great to have you with us in our program.

you have all the big questions. you can clarify some things for us right from, from what i understand energy contained in molecules is pretty much the reason for life on earth. so energy can be created or destroyed. it can only be transferred, right? so this is really mean that energy that i consist of, we can trace it back to where life started. maybe even further big bang. in principle, i suppose you could, but nobody would have a brain big enough to do that. is really the flow of energy, which is the important thing. so the way is moving from place to place and through us continuously. so we are eating and breathing all the time and we're changing our molecules of time. so an easy way to think of it is like a stream flowing down a hill side and the, the, the molecules in the stream and any one moment or not the same molecules. but the

stream itself is morris. as we are.
