that this is not about the quality of trade workers. it's about to mine. ah. parties top stories, asylum seekers may have to wait months at the age of belarus, florida to get processed. if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead, white group say the move throws away, the rulebook cia is embroiled in a child sex abuse scandal that involves children as young as 2 years old, with over one alleged offender going unpunished. according to the declassified documents, trans, nursing unions around the globe call for cove at vaccine peyton's to be lifted, blaming production restrictions for deaths in the developing world. yet the army constrain will be followed the others if we cannot act and it all countries in it at here to think of vaccination strategy. ah

good, happy with. it's just a midnight here in moscow now. saturday, the 4th of december, i'm calling break with the world news this our 1st violating asylum rights campaign . as an angry at an e u solution for asylum seekers who are attempting to get into europe through the bell russian border. there were still 1000 stranded and bella roost at a temporary shelter set up by the authorities there. 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 warnings 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 criminalizing people trying to find safety in europe, brakes international and european asylum law supporting the detention of migrants at e, you borders puts politics over people's lives. the e. u is trying to get tough on migration, particularly on its east in bo,

does. now in a bid to tackle the issue that it's gone to in 3 countries, controversial emergency asylum measures that will give poland lithuania and latvia. the power to hold people in special asylum processing centers, up to 16 weeks. that is a massive increase on the current timeframe that they can do that full weeks. the moves have shocked your human rights organizations. they've accused that you are playing politics with people's lives and bowing to pressure from eastern european member states. and that 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 you 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 after they crossed over the border from belarus around $7000.00 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 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 nor 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. the proposal suggests that migrants weight in special camps on the u territory while their applications are processed. however, the head of oxfam c. 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 the 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 6 days, or whether it's on the southern border with lisa to leeward or spain. there's this panic to 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 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 flaw 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 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 flawed asylum procedures are in these border border detention tantra. it will also make it much easier to send people back 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 have been involved in alleged sex crimes against children as young as 2 years old, or the, one of them was charged. that's the dummy revelation. after a trove of documents were declassified, he goes donald report more than $3600.00 pages of deeply disturbing material. 75 of them ever more. so the part of the trove logging sex crimes against children

committed by at least 10 cia employees. and contractors, in the worst of cases against very young children, had inappropriate sexual activity with an unidentified 2 year old girl. admitted to 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 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

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, during his office decline, prosecution of in favor of administrative action by the agency. in view of the personnel volition 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 cia contract of elm 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 into 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 there 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 over 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. now we're, we're still waiting to hear back from the cia and the us attorney's office in

virginia. we've asked them for further comment on this. meanwhile, former cia whistleblower john kerry ark, who told us that the agency did 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 world health organization says 38 nations. if an hour detected cases of the new cove it very into omicron that's up from $23.00 since just wednesday. when now the race is on to get people vaccinate is and for a lot of other people. the 3rd shult. but nursing unions from 20 i countries say the developing world is being left behind and they're blaming vaccine peyton's for causing avoidable death of their demanding also that father firms dropped them and natalie 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. we're not, not as we represent more than 2 and a half 1000000 healthcare workers worldwide. we asked that o, payton's for covert 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 and spain are already in support of this initiative, was also a big balance and purchasing power to rich countries have obtained 7000000000 doses of coven vaccines. and that compares to just 300000000 shots available to people in low income nations. and the health union say the unbalanced could lead to even more deaths, or paloma repair boards of grim repercussions if the world doesn't adopt a unified vaccination strategy. is gala 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 cooperation in the field of exceeds the initiative is commendable, but all the it initially seemed to have a well thought our strategy, it did not dealt the expected results. are you not to day, we are facing an equality. despite the efforts of high income countries, only 14 percent of the vaccine colleagues should have received who are provided with feel it is necessary to remove intellectual property right in order to create vaccines and distribute them right. as primarily in low income and middle income economies settled more than 700000 potential cancer cases in england. that should have been urgently referred to doctors have been missed since the pandemic began. not according to a damning report from a government watchdog. a leading cancer surgeon says the national audit office

findings reflect the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. of 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 due to lockdown. so the threat of coven infection on the report does to point out that the government releasing extra funds to fight the problems? the medics of warning, but that's nowhere near enough. the national always it, i'll say shipple shows wearing the middle of the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. hit the any chess there is a deadly cocktail of delays across the board. a regional 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. and we've contacted an h as england for comment, we'll let you know if we get a response now spoke to person 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 on our team, we talked a british microbiologist, professor simon clark. he says it all points to some difficult month ahead for

hospital now. yeah, that number is a far too high. it is surprising, but it's not surprising that we should have about that backlog all throughout. the cove it's saga, which is lasted well for, for well over a year. and a chest was unable to deal with its normal caseload. and arguably could have been even worse without a lot gowns. so those cases are just going to mount off. i'd say it's still going to be critical issue. the winter is always a tight time for the n a chasing lids, i can id see a ced having if not a disastrous time. this winter probably won't be disastrous. it will be tight as 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 a regional cancer center, for example, may have better infrastructure and better ability to cope than

a more local sensor. so it's not always straightforward, but it can be done. it without saying that with all the world's current pressing was like cove it and how on the chronic threatening to derail the festive season. for a lot of people, politicians who got other matters on their minds. it seems not least shooting the right language to describe windsor holidays will tell you more about this and other stories off of the break. ah ah ah,

ah. it's in their interest for some financial pundents to see the value of the currency lose value because they can gain traction on social media saying it's somehow a good thing, but not everybody is an undertaker. not every one is a grave robber. you know, some people are actually out there trying to be productive and productive lives. and of course, that philosophy of, oh, the currency is gone to 0 less than 0. and that's a good thing is a, is the, is the, is a mad lunacy. ah again, lawmakers have criticized european commission plans for a so called woke christmas. politicians warned that the inclusive language proposed

is essentially an effort to counsel christine traditions and lacks common sense. he assassinated 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 us from overheating, how to stop migrants from drowning it, see how to resuscitate the economy and how to mandate vaccinations without starting revolution you have to focus on the really serious issues. ah. with 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 is woman cozy, and it already got stolen last year. moreover, europe is overwhelmingly christian. so when the document got leaks, that wasn't exactly a she have fans outside her door to the on the i think this document is absolutely offensive. everyone must be proud of their origins and traditions, but also of the religious faith. oh, there is 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. it's always been wonderful. the fairy tale 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 begun? tradition on christmas and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issued this rebuke. it boy, there is the cancellation of our roots to christian. i mentioned for europe, especially with regard to christian festivals, with the fear of god to put into her daddy withdrew the guidelines as they clearly need more work. yes, meaning christmas has been saved from the you grinned chez. so 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 and 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 as it links to school and university christmas holidays. in cat shame turns out, though the very well paid civil simons are not in touch with reality. shocking! because if you believe twitter, those non christians, without any want to bonds, 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 christmas cuz it's a holiday. exactly. nice thing. yeah. can we have nice things any more? a question that no doubt millions of brits, our staff to hearing the latest advice from this government official. well, for what it's worth, i think i don't think it should be much smoking on the mistletoe. you don't need to do things like that. so yes,

with grinned his are king in every chimney. it seems it's not just covered. might steal christmas. an excuse me, please take that snow covered far too commonly associated the break particular holiday and to some out of here. so in appropriate for offensive use 13 to read the guidelines, right, as ambassador to sudan has warners and potential refugee in flux from that north, east african country could overwhelm europe, a transitional government se attempting to try and restore peace and stability there right now, which the russian ambassador says is crucial to avert a potential humanitarian crisis to cancel them. sudan is indeed located in a turbulent place. geographically, it's 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 sedans, 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 stability sedan 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 of what many called a 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 boat side, saying that this was the best option out of 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 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 a 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's 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 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 and where 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, they could reach a crescendo, a crescendo which will be felt the consequences of which will be felt throughout the region. and internationally. i cross talks up next elf to which i'll be here to update you on the developing stories. we're tracking here in moscow. newsroom, this is our t thanks for watching. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tice elation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows? it's up it on you think you all know that, but i just a high

middle now you on my head up my lap and i had a knuckle. but my love bob again thought now, well, i'm going up at a bit a well, i mean, a lot in a ah that breaking toil ah, the fullest labor stress industrial injury corporal punishment.

mm. oh no words with which we're all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolish slavery long ago? the war drug started as a way to combat a gray problem. what's the war on drugs? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected to this time. the fight against drugs took it and try and shake todd. he told us that andrew was a competent short form, is his way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a

rural college student doesn't just get shot in the head and found in the river like that. something else had to be happening. oh ah ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . again, there are rumors of war. there are rumors of invasion and again, the country is ukraine. there are allegations of

a russian military build up within the country's borders, though it is a fact, ukraine is receiving lethal aid from nato countries who benefits from this stratagem? i cross fucking ukraine. i'm joined by my guests, alexander claxon in london. he is a researcher at the university of lancaster in philadelphia we have walters melodic . he is a organizer with the answer coalition, and in otto, where we have paul robinson. he is a professor in the graduate school, the public and international affairs at the university of ottawa, hard gentleman, cross hoc rules in effect. that means he can jump any time you want. and i'm, i always appreciate, paul. let me go to you 1st. in ottawa, i don't know, it seems like groundhog day again to me. i mean we had this in the spring. the attentions were flaring. a lot of vom bombastic, bellicose rhetoric out there. what, what is the strategy him from nato side visa be ukraine?

go ahead. it's hard to tell because nato is, is some.
