service that the design, it's not about the quality trade workers, it's about the money asylum seekers may have to wait months at that you belarus border to get processed . if a new plan from brussel gets the go ahead, rights groups say move, throws away the rule book. nursing unions around the globe call for coven vaccine patent to be lifted. the blaming production restrictions for deaths in the developing world on the constraint will be followed the others if we cannot act and if all countries in it and here it is. single vaccinations, traffic and england's cancer catastrophe. senior medics react to damage government findings at 700000 potential cases may have been missed since the pandemic began. ah

oh, we're broadcasting more direct from studios them after this is our to international . i'm showing. thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. are now. we start with violating asylum writes. campaigners are angry at an e u of solution for asylum seekers attempting to get into europe through the bell russian border. there are still thousands of stranded in belarus, had a temporary shelter set up by the authorities. now brussels wants to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants in special camps. well, it happens, but writes groups worn that that would set a very press dangerous. preston, 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, no tensions on the eastern borders of the e. u. have been high. for many months. the you is accused belarus 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 europe in 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 defines 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 the you. a quays, quit even you diplomats and nor make is a finding this pretty hard to swallow. they've described 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 by grants weight in special camps on you territory while their applications are being processed. however, the head of the ox rams you office believes that 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 felicia to leeward or spain. there's this panic to 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 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 sign them 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 florida asylum procedures 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. the world health organization says $38.00 nations

have now detected cases of the new covered variant alma front. that's up front 23 since just wednesday that the race is on to get more people vaccinated and others, their 3rd shot. but nursing unions from 20 country say that the developing world's being left behind and they are blaming vaccine patents for causing affordable avoidable. excuse me, debts, they're demanding that farmer firms dropped their monopoly on the potentially lifesaving jobs. the direct consequences of the failure to distribute vaccines and treatments equitably. to the vast majority of people of low and moderate income countries could likely for the transmission of cove at 19 further mast illness and large numbers of fatalities in those countries. there should be reason enough to address the crisis of global vaccine apart height. we're not, not us represent within 2 and a half 1000000 health care workers worldwide. we asked that o,

payton's for comic vaccines be abolished or emergent 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. there is a big balance and purchasing power as well. rich countries have obtained 7000000000 doses of coverage vaccines that compares to just 300000000 chance available to people in low income nations. and the health union say the imbalance could lead to even more deaths. paloma repeal m warns of grim repercussions if the world doesn't adopt a unified vaccination strategy. is gala. brandon, me going to let you. i know the army crunch train will be followed by others. if we do not act, and 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,

our strategy, it did not dealt the expected results to day. we're facing an equality. despite the efforts of high income countries, only 14 percent of the vaccine covose's should have received were provided with feel it is necessary to remove intellectual property rights in order to create vaccines and distribute them primarily in low income and middle income economies. more than 700000 potential cancer cases in england, that should have been urgently referred to doctors have been missed since the pandemic began according to a damning report from a government watchdog, a leading cancer surgeon says that the national audit office findings reflect the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. the report also finds one in for cancer patients have been on waiting lists for months and up to 60000 missed their 1st treatment due to locked downs and the threat of cove it. the report recognizes that the governments are releasing extra funds to fight the problem,

but medics warned that nowhere near enough the national audit office report shows were in the middle of the biggest cancer catastrophe ever. to hid the n h s. there is a deadly cocktail of delays across the board, a regional lottery of cancer inequality and growing cancer backlog. and it feels like the government and in a chest leaders have their heads and descend. we've contacted an, a chest england for comment and we'll let you know if we get a response. a spokesperson released a statement earlier, admitting that the extra demands of treating current virus victims have affected their ability to provide routine and non urgent care. british microbiologist, professor some in clark says that all points to some difficult months ahead for hospitals. yeah, the number is far too high. it is 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 caseload. and arguably could have been even worse without the lot downs. so those cases are just going to mountain top it's, it's still going to be a critical issue. the winter is always a high time to dna testing lives. and i can see us having, if not disastrous time, this week probably won't be process, it will be tight because he usually is and we've got these, these kind of some cancer centers did manage. it was difficult. it was not easy. and of course, there are questions about infrastructure. so regional cancer center, for example, may have better infrastructure and better ability to type a more local center. so it's not always straightforward, but it can be done. tech giant, google and meta, the owner of instagram. and what's app may be 5 to 10 percent of the russian

revenue after the countries media watchdog sued them for repeated failure to delete illegal content as archie is daniel hawkins reports. well, the problem really is a longstanding dispute on a stalemate between rational authorities and western social media and tech jaunt. the former accusing the latter of bringing to russian law by failing to remove access to harmful content on line on russian tarrot for you. now, social media media joint such as facebook are now matter as one of the others, like google and use you've already been repeatedly found guilty in russian course of breaking the law. take one example. youtube this year found guilty of 16 administrative violations. find a total of $37.00 and a half 1000000 roubles. that's about half a $1000000.00 rushing into the watch store, claiming my fail to remove around 2 and a half 1000 pieces of harmful content. what they mean by that is anything from access to child, pornography and materials promoting drug use and sales to other extreme with

content facebook. another company found guilty of 19, which is amounting to nearly $1000000.00 in fines going back to 2019. and some of these companies haven't even paid the fine to, to the courts yet. are those like google have claimed they are in compliance at least the best of their ability with russian legislation. enforcing these rules and deleting up to 96 percent of bind content, paying all the fines, google se never moved just in the 1st half of this year. around half a 1000000 videos that just goes to show the scale of this problem, which both sides are dealing with. authorities know now rating mistakes they will be taking these cases of google of meta to court on the 24th of december of this year. and the following, this farm could be much higher as high as 10 percent. now, all of these a tech jones profits in russia to put that into perspective. last year, for example,

google's affiliate in russia reported profits of 1700000000 roubles. that's around $23000000.00, so you can see this is going to have a much bigger dens on their profits in the country. now this spring also, which is also placed new requirements on around 13 top 10 companies to open officers in russia. that will include also registering an accounts on the russian internet watchdogs website and opening a channel of communication with uses here in russia. now the watch, the claims, they welcome constructive dialogue with these companies, but they also say they're going to use all the measures at their disposal. a lot of these companies might have, for example, still haven't officially commented on how exactly or if it's all they intend to comply with these regulations and open their offices in russia. so company, year, once this quote process is over, there can be several outcomes. the internet check joins could face an even bigger hit to the profits. access of these sites can be slowed down in russia. that's something what stock has already done. whatever one is hoping for, of course,

is some sort of consensus and compromise. because in the case of them being found guilty and no such consensus being reached really will be no winners. so all eyes really all the while on christmas eve to see how that quote process goes with everything going on in the world right now, you would hope a little christmas cheer might take a lot of people's minds off it. however, some politicians aren't so sure not least being worried that they're using the right language to describe the winter holidays. we'll take you through that and much more extra short break. this is our to international ah

ah, 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 who benefits from this strategy . ah,

welcome back. this is our to international. now lawmakers have criticized european commission plans for a so called woke christmas. politicians warned the inclusive language proposed is essentially an effort to cancel christian traditions and lacks common sense with commentary hears southgate, hello. 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

john? yes. the current commissioner, helen dalley, has been busy drawing up guidelines for inclusive communication, an operable goal? the thing is helena miss, right? the room? it's been a long 2 years since coven fast rocked up people. a tired christmas 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. yeah. to have fans outside her door to film. 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 is a lot of hypocrisy distorting christmas, and the language we use at this holiday is really shameful. in the door 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, probably not to surprise, but one institution with a particular bone to pick was the catholic church. what was it being they gotten tradition on christmas and generally christianity. so one of the vaskins cardinals tore himself away from morning prayers to issue this rebuke. it boy, there is the cancellation of our root jupiter christian i mentioned before 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 your tide. 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 of 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, with how you want to bon stockings, sabotage center and just topple the tree on trafalgar square, actually quite light christmas. in fact, the general consensus seems to be, you said under the christmas, cuz it's a holiday. exactly nice thing. yeah. can we have them nice things any more?

a question that no doubt millions of breadth our staff to hearing the latest advice from this government official. well, for what it's worth, i don't think you'd be much smoking on the mistletoe that needs to things like that . so yes, with grinned his are king in every chimney. it seems it's not just covered that might steal christmas. an excuse me, please take that snow covered far tree commonly associates of the bright particular holiday in to some out of here. so inappropriate. so senate says, if there's need to read the guidelines, rushes ambassador to sudan has warned that a potential refugee in flux from the north east african country could overwhelm europe. a transitional government is attempting to try and restore peace and stability that right now, which the russian ambassador says is crucial to avert it. potential humanitarian crisis to cancel them. saddam 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 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 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 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, a drawing, much fewer people when instead of, ah, hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands. we're seeing it 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 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 now, these inflation price hikes, it is especially acutely felt here. and so dod 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, a 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. in about 35 minutes, i'll be back with another look to new say with us this is our to international

with oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? which direct? 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. marissa pinnacle of evolution. everything's flat. a bacterium is a product to 4000000000 years of evolution in a specific environment. so a week. so in that sense, when we are, the few survivors are then to vote along a long process you. so as in severe springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well and we'll do much better in that sense. his update on being up. no, no, no, no, but they did a middle now are you on my here up my lap and i didn't thought a millionaire. i'm bob again thought, no, well i'm going out there to be a well,

i mean a relationship with o o deliveries. 155000000000 pieces of mail every year. constantly 40 percent of the world's mail right now the us postal service is in a fight of its life. history. that is really bad financial shape. now facing default, the postal service is a cash cow, and there was a way to pull money out of the postal service to put into the federal budget. there was a mandate that you're bringing a $100000.00, new revenue every month. the nature of privatization in the us postal service is very much hidden from public view. it's privatization from the inside out that

a big business in money is that about the public and given them the service that they deserve. it's not about quality train work. it's about with awe back breaking, toil, forced labor stress. mm hm. industrial injury. corporal punishment. mm hm. oh no.

words with which we're all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolished slavery long ago? 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 buildup within the countries borders. though it is a fact,

ukraine is receiving lethal aid from nato countries who benefits from this stratagem. ah. cro sucking 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 of public and international affairs at the university of ottawa, hard gentleman, cross hoc rules and 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 bombastic, bellicose rhetoric out there. what, what is the strategy him from nato side? these of the ukraine. go ahead. it's hard to tell because night i was on the one.
