this is not about the quality of trade warfare. it's about with a nightmare scenario of military confrontation has returned to europe. that was at the stock warning from russia's pop diplomat to head about meeting with his us counterpart. adding that moscow would not tolerate the beefing up of nato's presence and neighboring states. asylum seekers might have to wait months, so the e u bella roost border to get crow says if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead. a rights group, oxfam told us the move, ultimately throws away the rule book. we could have managed this easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. the cia is embroiled and a child sex abuse scandal than have older children, as young as 2 years old, with all but one alleged offender going on,

punished according to now deep classify document or 2 in the weekly the all micron very and grips 38 countries the world health organization tells us more time is needed to understand the truth threat. we do not have any tours at least 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 of beats more time ah, to the top story of the day and the main headlines of the read. welcome to the weekly here were naughty international, a lack of diplomacy. that's what rushes foreign minister has accused nato wove. he also exchange tough words with his u. s. counterpart of the meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. also giving this stalk warning right ahead of the meeting. it was

difficult, 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 is being carried out here in stockholm it on the side lines of this, o se ministerial conference, as the foreign minister of russia said, gail awful held a meeting with the secretary of state of the united states anthony blinking what we heard from said gala, for all, 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 goes now i'm to the 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 towards ukraine as well as some of the

efforts that we see russia taking to try to destabilize ukraine from within. well, the problem with sanctions, of course, is as they always result in counter sanctions and fight said gay law for all 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 that usually possibly a group know if, 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 debt and road and indiana 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 said again,

love rob. he said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober debates. and that both of foreign ministers, both senior diplomats would 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 . and at such talks have now been confirmed with a video cold between joe biden and vladimir putin shuttled for tuesday. meanwhile, another incident came just a day after the meeting with the ministers. a nato spy plane forced to passenger flights to change course, to avoid a collision over the black sea. i rush called it a danger to civil aviation. and richard becker from the anti will answer. coalition says it's not russia that's on the march presentation on what's going on from the us side, from the secretary se blinking sites is so lacking. credibility and so full of threat since $999.00 just 22 years. the number of countries in nato has

almost double and its try and fire from the north atlantic, which is what it was. you know, what it's, so it's called the north atlantic treaty organization. but it's currently the strategy became to surround russia. presentation is false on the part 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 its relationship to russia. hello, russia is accused us of causing a threat to a civil aviation on risking the lives of innocent passengers. the backlash comes in relation to the incident in the black sea region. on friday, russian air traffic control were forced to divert the course of 2 airlines to

prevent them from colliding with a nato 5 plan. let's learn more about this right now. i want to just ask you to taylor joining us there. when the programs ask you, is on a thought it was a very close call. i wonder if the passengers had any idea what was going on. can you, can you take us through the details as far as you know, what's no secret that the black sea region has become something of a hot spot in relations between the us and russia. the presence of american warships is one of those all bits. nato allies have in the past been a serious cause of concern for moscow, which considers the territory to be its fear of influence. but it seems to have crossed over from consign and political games to very real physical danger. elise thought is, according to the russian defense ministry. on sunday, it did warn it that washington and nato cannot expect to risk life without some kind of consequence. what triggered those was, well, on friday the news came in, the russian traffic control had been forced to change the course of 2 planes,

making a way across the black sea. one was flying from 10 to moscow. the other from the resorts city of thought she to north macedonia as for why that decision was taken. while apparently a nato reconnaissance plane was flying dangerous and close to those 2 aircraft. and in fact, the crew of one could even apparently see the nato bombard you with. it's very nice . we have of course alternator for comment, and yet to hear a response. but from the russian perspective, what makes us all the more troubling. it's not the nato plane allegedly refused and ignored numerous attempts by ground crew to make contact, which meant that for them, that really was only one way out of this. potentially very dangerous and tragic accident which was of course to die thought those 2 passenger jets just the understand we are talking around $300.00 people on board. so unlike of this, you probably can understand the strong reaction from the defense ministry according to them. we've got non registered foreign plain refuse in contact with local

authorities and very, very close to hundreds of civilians lives. it is in the eyes of course, playing politics with innocent knives. now this latest incident comes really alter a period of tensions in the black sea waters. after unapproved nato drills took place in november, then only a couple of days ago to rush and fight to jets was scrambled to escort spy planes away from its borders. and on top of that, we've also got some pretty hostile rhetoric coming from both american and nato officials were trying to convince the rush was planning some kind of invasion of ukraine as soon as the new year, apparently. but the thing is, is aggressive rhetoric. it's part and parcel of modern diplomacy, but i think that we can all agree creating potentially a very volatile situation, which puts civilians lives in harm's way, but not in neither fat. no clean play. norris ask you thank you

by losing asylum, right. so that's the verdict of campaigners angry at an e u. solution for migrants attempting to get through europe via the bella russian border. there are still roughly 2000 of them, a stronger and better roost at temporary shelters. and now brussels wants to extend the asylum processing time by months, and ultimately keep the migrants in those special camps while that happens at various rights groups. we've spoken to warn that plan sets a very dangerous precedent. if the you can allow a minority of member states to throw out the rule book due to the presence of a few 1000 people at its border, it throws out any authority as on human rights in the rule of law, stopping detaining and criminalize in people trying to find safety in europe breaks, international and european asylum law, supporting the detention of migrants at e. u. borders puts politics over people's lives. 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, all 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 $70000.00 more a said to remain in battery itself. and while 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 look ways. when he, when he, you know makers are finding this pretty hard to swallow, they've described the move as lowering your standards and even violating you lose, 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 charlotte, even sky, all t, paris. their proposals suggests that migrant wait in special close comes on e territory while their applications are processed. however, the head of ox, fams you office says the conditions that ultimately undermine basic laws. 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 your main asylum process. so that's the 1st concern. and then the 2nd concern is that because of the flawed, assign them procedures in,

in these border border detention center, it will also make it much easier to send people back and to harm, which is a clear violation of international refugee long. so those are the 2 main concerns for us. 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, where that, that's now in, in poland and about to stage, or whether it's on the southern border with greasy to lee your, or spain. there's hispanic 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 proces, we see that is every time this is instead of political crisis variant of cov,

it is causing concern. it's been spreading around the world over the past week. the so called all microphones tray and has now been detected in a dozens of different countries. now, the new varied was 1st found in botswana that was just over a week ago, and then in neighboring south africa as well on the call is now also being registered in india, the united states and all the way over in australia as well. were scientist suggesting it's spreading twice as fast as that of the delta variant? will italian researchers publish? now the 1st image is what the new strain, for example on the right is the homework on strain on the left, the predecessor the delta variant. now the red areas, as you can see right here on the top of the picture, basically showing how many more mutations this strain has. and that means that the virus ultimately of old. but it's not yet clear. if it is more dangerous, no deaths are being reported. however, officials at the world health organization of saying it's 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 i'll make her on this very emergencies. another reminder that all so many of us might think we're done with corporate 19 it's not done with us. well, in response to the new cope, its trade, numerous nations. if i were strict to travel from south africa, israel and japan, there among the 1st so far to ban all incoming travellers. and many people have just found themselves stranded in south africa, travel bounds being radically imposed. paula slid reports from gelatinous bugs at port desolation. desperation, aspiration 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 that 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 thousands of people were arriving here days, but to get on any available flight. often announcement was made that most international travel in and out of 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 have brought 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 just my my bash and she started to computer interested. all the class for december had been cancelled. so if you go, you can get back within 3 days. 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 could be it wouldn't make 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 cova testing. international community is very cognizant of the fact that as many stephen alpha came south africans have not been vaccinated. now, south 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. and it's not a south african variant. and that it is elsewhere in the global community that instead of being upholders, south africa has now been push on the blacklist policy on t to hunter's book in south africa. so scientists and i'm trying to adopt existing vaccines to that of a new strain. earlier we spoke to melita of with over representative of the w h o. here in russia. when a mutation shows a number,

i would say changes a number of mutations that we can relate to something either to previous knowledge or for example, be so by this variance has mutations. many more mutations on the spike brought a, it is actually used to need all that the virus is using to getting to the south to make us use that stage to actually pull infections to spread further. and this is why because it has many more and other other barriers each has the media to come into concert. so i think if, if knowledge but you don't have a logical normally you telling us that this is a more deadly virus. what do we know from south africa? you said maybe 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 lee. so this is not

something that we should accurate all. we really need a bit more time. and this is why we said that there is no place for planning, but there is place for preparedness, proportion, and action doesn't. the cia employees have been involved in alleged sex crimes against children as young as 2 years old. and only one of them was charged up. the dining revelation off road trove of documents was declassified. a correspondent equals donal investigation. this 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 sexual 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. and other 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 under age individuals. the united states, during his 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 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 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 at the cia and the us attorney's office in virginia to comment. meanwhile, former cia whistleblower john kiera argue he told us so the agency needs serious changes when it comes to transparency in general. 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 a, 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 of hardly britain is led by a clown. that's what the french president has branded boars. johnson, as france, his former u. k. envoy warns relations of hit that worst and 200 years. am i chron, allegedly made the remarks in a private conversation after a number of public rouse, mojo talks to me, full speed, everything's going well. we have grown up conversations, but he strikes me before and after, as having an inelegant way about him. it's always the same circus. it sought to see such a great country with which we could do so much led by a clown. and just to let a spatter, micron took offense to let other johnson tweeted that appear to blame franz for the record flow of asylum seekers in paris, promptly scrapped its invitation to the u. k. to a european meeting on that of migration. now it was a week and a half ago, the 27 migrants died, attempting to cross the channel. it was one of the deadliest incidents since the

migrant crisis began of france and the u. k. of also been at loggerheads and post for exit dispute over that of fishing. right. and some of johnson's fellow party and peter rallied to his defense. they weren't phantom unseasonably in the different selection coming in. some pretty unhelpful word, because the prime ministers in the town is elected prime minister of this country with a very big mandate leading this country through the pandemic. i am surprised to hear that and, and disappointed and openly am. i'm sure that we can continue to struggle together to tackle this unconscious that we will. i will hope that will get formal response back at the host and former m p. george galloway says there seems to be a bit of a destructive mood in european politics. these days on the old fashioned, but i don't think the heads of state and heads of government should be publicly talking to each other and about each other in this way. it is indeed a toxic on tong corby all the we have now. but if borders,

johnson is the circus clown, i'm afraid the manual micron is the circus dwarf and the british and the french deserve better than the leaders that they have. but they're the only leaders that we've got and they have to get on with resolving war on i think post partum politics. this is a anti nato post natal depression for on the part of the french and b, e. u. in general, we have left on the find it impossible to bear. they want us to fail. they want us even to suffer, and they are ready, as is abundantly clear every day to permit the floor of thousands of people every week trance has the opportunity to elect a new president. soon i hope they take the opportunity to make a change. just as i wish that the british people could make

a change. i'm satisfied with neither of these 2 leaders, but as long as they are the leaders, then they have to obey diplomatic norms. all right, wrapping up the weekly for vis. ala here on our t international, nearly half off for now on sunday afternoon, here at moscow. thanks for joining us. running down the top stores over the weekend of the day, your weekly returns, and about half an hour. ah ah said linda, have to say where to stand. the criteria are in germany for many years has been completely ability with public opinion. those politicians pause has come to 10th.

we act in line with what people expect from them, but the public opinion is produced or shaped by mass media, that those are shaped by journalists. most german journalists are sympathizers of the social democratic animals, the green. therefore, as long as it, cuz huge green social democratic policy projects, you parents is a competent leader. hope in my body comes with a young handicap guy right here and what's up, jason used to come down, didn't mail back then a good

day, bye. be careful. in all this mail for him and he'll come out and give him this ma'am . just a friendly people though with family case i say coming up, i just rather mail or something like that. they get things like on their medicine, their tracks, you know? so, you know, when that's coming and they know sometimes with special attention about on the job when you get to that point. so it's not even like a job. you know, it's just like a normal family thing that you're dealing with a letter on your door and it will be handled to a spot, thousands of miles away in the most remote corner of uniting just really brain. i mean i don't get in the world the phone, all right, there.
