ah, is up as a nightmare scenario, military confrontation has returned to europe. that was the start warning, coming from russia's top diplomat prior to his meeting with his us counterpart with the tools themselves sing tough words traded of a possible sanction. in other news, asylum seekers may have to wait. amanda said the e u beller is bored to get processed. if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead rights group say that the move throws away the rulebook. they're staying in substandard conditions. there's no legal aid for them and no health services, so they won't have a fair and you main asylum processed the c i a's and brought in a child sex abuse scandal. that involves children as young as just 2 years old with all but one alleged defender going unpunished. according to

d classified documents and italy over chrome very in groups. 38 countries. the world health organization tells us more time is needed to understand the true nature of the threats the virus poses. we do not have report and he's moorland that is causing more severe disease or that it is more neat out. this is not something that we should speculate are. we really need a bit more time with that. thanks so much for joining me this sunday morning. you watching the weekly here on our lack of diplomacy. that's what rushes foreign minister is accused nato of. he also exchanged tough words with his us counterpart at the meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe and gave this start warning ahead of the meeting. because gifted this up was

a nightmare scenario of military confrontation has returned to you. rip moscow categorically will not accept the transformation of the countries neighboring russia into a military foothold. i suppose you can't get to grips with bridging wat, divide to you unless you get all of those problems out on the table. it certainly seems to be the way diplomacy has been carried out here in stockholm it on the side lines of this, o se ministerial conference, as the foreign minister of russia said, galle awful held a meeting with the secretary of state of the united states. anthony, blinking, what we heard from said gala froth was a list of issues he has. and what russia has with the way that russia has being dictated to by nato, by the united states. and by the west. talking about treaties though, said gala, for all pointed out that there is a real lack of agreement in concrete written down when it comes to russia and the west for those are, the 2 continues to escalate the situation directly on our borders. and as for

military security in the euro, atlantic region, it continues to deteriorate. there's only one treaty left between russia and the united states. the strategic arms reduction treaty, the treaty on short and medium range missiles and the open skies treaty were essentially torn apart by our american colleagues. so glover of also said that in the very near future, moscow would put forward a new security strategy and new security packed that it wants to see, have some certain things written down in black and white as far as the relationship between nato and russia. ghost now, antony blinking, the u. s. secretary of state. also, i had given a press conference following that meeting. he said that as far as he was concerned, and as far as the united states was concerned, russia posed a significant risk to the security of ukraine. there would be serious consequences for brushing aggression toward ukraine as well as are some of the

efforts that we see russia taking to try to destabilize ukraine from within. where the problem with sanctions, of course, is as they always results in counter sanctions and fight said gala for off did say that there had been essentially a failure of diplomacy from his western partners and said that if serious sanctions were imposed on russia, that there would be consequences going back, feel the way. usually posterior group move. if you as the say, hellish sanctions follow of course or will react, we cannot not react. what will be our response? it will be seat. i don't want to guess what the west will decide to do threatening some financial sanctions, new sectoral sanctions. this is a dead and road and in the and it will backfire. and the initiators of this illegitimate unilateral measures what we may potentially take away from this is something that anthony blinking said after his and his meeting with saint gala rob . he said that had been

a frank and full discussion and honest and sober ad debates. and that both have foreign ministers, both senior diplomats, we'll take that away to their respective presidents and we may well see some more discussion it that much higher level in the very near future. now another incident came just a day after the meeting and nato spike played forced to passenger flights to change course to avoid collision of the black st. according to russian aviation authorities. the incident occurred on friday. now she says that the alliance is increased reconnaissance flight activity poses a danger to civil aviation, which a becket from the anti war anti coalition says, not russia, as on the march, but rather the u. k. america and the rest of the night i presentation on what's going on and on the us side from secretary state, blinking sites is so lacking credibility and so full of threat since 999 just 22 years. the number of countries in nato has almost double

and it's from fire from the north atlantic, which is what it was called. you know, what? it's so it's called the north atlantic treaty organization. but it's clearly the strategy became to surround russia. presentation is false on the part of, of lincoln. it's not russia that's marching westward and, you know, every year surrounding the united states a little bit more or germany or france or britain, or any of the nato countries. but that is what is happening in regard to nato and his relationship to russia. violating his son him right now the verdict of campaign is angry at any you solution for asylum seekers attempting to get into europe through the bell russian border. there are still thousands of them stranded and bella roost at a temporary shelter set by the authorities. now brussels wants to extend the asylum

processing time, but months and keep them on goods, especially camps. while it happens, the rise groups a warning that plan sets 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. it has on human rights in the rule of law, stopping detaining and criminalize in 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 describe the move as lowering you standards and even violating you look, leaving many to question how the you can hold itself up as

a protector on human rights on the one hand and implement these measures on the other. charlotte, even ski r t. paris will the proposal suggest the migrants, white in special, closed camps on the you territory while their applications are processed? but the head of folks from the you office says the conditions in those kind of facilities would undermine basic laws. though 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 asylum procedures and to asylum seekers being stuck in detention for months and sometimes even years. and it also means that people who are arriving at the border to claim sign him to ask for asylum, who are often already severely traumatized to have austin to several former abilities

. 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 the flawed asylum procedures. in, in these border border detention center, it will also make it much easier to send people back to harm, which is a clear violation of international refugee long. so those are the 2 main concerns for us. a dozen c i a employees have been involved in alleged sex crimes against children as young as just 2 years old. and only one of them was charged us. the dumbing revelation after trove of documents were declassified in cust. on off reports 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 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 in 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 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, we've asked the cia and the us attorney's office in virginia for comment. in the

meantime, pharmacy i whistle blow junk. kieriyaki told us 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 this week. sedan, so tens of thousands munchkin, the capital car tube against the military government tough to last month scoops. hurtful, says, trying to break up the crimes with tear gas. from one of the protests, monica has to have a senior correspondence. and this report as tennis is being fired by us, should a nice police to disperse these protests. 30, a few 100 people hear these tear gas canisters that the outdated, so that beyond due date. so the effect that they have isn't quite as powerful as if they had been pressure. so people can comfortably pick them up, throw them away,

and play this game with police officers and police. i evidently weren't having any of that. and these are these getting a bit uncomfortable here. eyes are beginning to sting as well as people's throats. but police are again forcing people back, asking them to disperse people here, nevertheless. aw, are still angry. i still angry. they still believe the revolution has been stolen from them. when i heard is another tear gas canisters, they're being fired by police to this bus to disperse protest this year, dana today was supposed to be a $1000000.00 man march. i protest against the military takeover as they say, protest this year of the government,

this all young voices. but this again is, is government. they want us even young government want to see it of up and kill people. the people in, in the agreement piece is justice. many people here feel betrayed by the actions of the prime minister, the civilian government, who agreed to the military demands the militaries, demands that they hand over a part of their power to the military. we are out against hum duke and bro hon. their political agreements and the government. so we are not pleased with this work and the political games we are industries because no one rules us and no one can ruin we ru ourself. we have to go, it's a, it's getting her, it's becoming unbearable. well, over the weekend, tensions in the capital calmed somewhat say transitional government is attempting to try and restore peace and stability in suzanne. besides political term,

although the country is also suffering from soaring inflation, one official from the transitional government told us about the challenges. learn wilkens for though sedan is in dire straits in the south of the country, which has its own trouble there at least $2000000.00 refugees. we have open borders with chad, which is a little more stable. but experience is conflicts here. and there. sedan has a strategic location to the world and especially to africa in cartoon. now there are, i still members, there are many terrorist sleeper cells in sudanese cities to watch, have recourse to them with grave importance. if an escalation happens, incident, it will affect not only africa, but the entire world. because sedan is a corridor for illegal immigration and trans national crime. and you variant of cove it is causing concern and has been rapidly spreading around the world over the past week. the so called all me kron strainers, now been detected in dozens of countries. they knew very at 1st the most in botswana that was just over

a week ago. then it was found in neighboring south africa, or micron is now also been registered in india. the united states and australia, scientists suggesting spending twice as fast as the delta variance and italian research as a publish the 1st images of this new strain are on the right. you'll see on chrome on the left. the delta variant at the red areas show that it has many more mutations this time around, and that means that the virus is further adapted, but it's not yet clear. if that means it will be more dangerous, as of yet no death or been reported from the mutation, but the world health organization is wanting that it is simply too early to relax. we shouldn't need another wake up call. we should all be wide awake to the threat of this virus. but all maker on this very emergency is another reminder that all so many of us might think we're done with corporate 19. it's not done with us. the response to the new coven strain,

numerous nations have restricted travel from south africa, with israel in japan, going so far as to buy and all incoming travelers. many people have found themselves stranded in south africa to travel bands were imposed with flies being canceled. even after registration. of these pul, asleep caught up with a drama, johannesburg sampled this elation distillation, frustration and anger. these are just some of the emotions that people here in south africa are experiencing. i'm here on the tambo important one is the, this is the main international airport in south africa. and as you can see, the airport is practically deserted. a far cry from the scenes we saw just a short time ago when calvin's people were liveing here, dis, but to get on any available flight. often announcement was made that most international travel in and out of 6 african states was being implemented. the

situation such is that you now have tens of thousands of people who are stranded here in south africa. people who need to get back to jobs and families. and at the same time, you have so many people abroad, many of them, south africans desperate to get into the country. many of them have not been able to visit for at least 2 years, i think to them, okay, i'm coming to check in will i be able to get home? i'm only going 15 days to my mother and she started computer interested. all the flat for december had been cancelled. so if you go, you can get back within 3 days it. i mean it's all just completely changed and there's no way that i can go, i've been vaccinated 3 times, so i am as vaccinate as to be. i wouldn't have made any difference. i do congratulate the leaders for taking such quick action. but i do think that they really need to form before making decisions that really affect the lives of so many people. the prices for the few remaining flights out of here have skyrocketed, as has the cost of mandatory coven testing. international community is very

cognizant of the fact that as many as 7 out of 10 south africans have not been vaccinated. now, some african scientists have been very vocal in saying that they were the 1st to come forward and be transparent about this new variant that has been found. they just, it's not a south african variant. and that it is elsewhere in the global community that instead of being ported south africa, has now been push on the blackness policy on t to 100 south africa. right now, san to saw rushing to adopt the existing vaccines that hooked up. we used to find the new strain early. we spoke with melita rena, which are representative of the world health organization here in russia. when a mutation shows a number of, i would say changes a number of mutations that we can relate to something i that the previous knowledge . for example,

the buyer at the very end has mutations. many more mutations on the spike brought a, it is actually use the needle that the virus is using to getting to the salad to make us infected, to actually cause infection to spread further. and this is why, because it has many more and other viruses are the variance. it has immediately come into concert. so i think has scientific knowledge, but we don't have a logical knowledge. it's telling us at the moment that this is a more deadly virus. what we know from south africa is that many young people and this is where the cluster was detected. and we do know that callie's been young. people is lighter. we do not have reports and he's no man that is causing more severe disease or that it is more lethal. this is not something that we should speculate off. we really need a bit more time. and this is why we have said that there is no place for panic,

but there is place for preparedness, proportion, and action with all the wells current pressing. whoa, saw cove it and how only cronies threatening to derail the festive season. for many people, politicians i've got other matters on the minds. it seems not least choosing the right language to describe the winter holidays. so sky taylor explains, 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 during our 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 warm and 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 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's 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 begun? 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 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 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. 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, with how you want to bond 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, we can,

we have them nice things any more. a question that no doubt millions of brits are stuff to hearing the latest advice from this government official. well for it's worth. i don't think there should be much smoking on the mistletoe. ah, it needs to do things like that. so yes, with grinned his are 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 coming associate at the break particular holiday and to some out of here. so in appropriate so offensive, you 1st need to read the guidelines that lives matter has announced a 7th year of boycotting white's companies during the holidays to support black christmas movement is calling for people to stand against white supremacist capitalism and pain us. their supporters to spend the money over the festive period, only on black own businesses and to move their finances out of white corporate banks. blanket christmas challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and

step fully into our own collective power. to build new traditions, run an offense, as well as a defense plex. connie saw economic power to disrupt white supremacist capitalism and build black community. there gibson, a candidate for new york state governors as black lives matters, proposals make no sense. i personally think in law more people think also that it was the extra metal to the black community. it. we are hom, the black community in all types of ways because we don't have the power. we don't have the economic power. we don't aren't, we don't own a lot of retail stores or when our white community, all those stores. so it'd be quite and i was sell off in the mouth by doing what be all iams are suggest that we do it may sound a little no sense. all of us all the same.
