[000:00:00;00] with us difficulties of book a nightmare scenario of military confrontation has returned to you room that was at the stalk warning from russia's top diplomat. just ahead of a meeting with his us counterpart, i think that moscow would not tolerate the beefing up of nato's presence in neighboring states. asylum seekers may have to wait months at the e u bela bruce border to get processed. if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead, a rights group oxfam meantime, told us the move alternately, throws away the rulebook. we could have managed as easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. and on the, on the con, very, and hits 38 countries,

the world health organization tells us more time as needed to understand if this new variant is a threat. we do not have report a dis moorland that is causing more severe disease or diabetes more he thought this is not something that we should pack your radar. we really need more time. ah, it is sunday evening here on the russian capital. this is our t international yourself to 7 pm here at moscow now to the top highlights of the past week. it's a lack of diplomacy. apparently, that's what rushes foreign minister has accused. ne, so all you also exchange tough words with his us counterpart at a meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. also giving this stalk warning just ahead of that meeting. if us pick those up as a nightmare scenario of military confrontation has returned to europe,

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 sidelines of this o se ministerial conference, as the foreign minister of russia said galen, for all held a meeting with the secretary of state of the united states. anthony, blinking what we heard from said gala rolf was a list of issues he has and what and 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 gay lover of also said that in the very near future, moscow would put forward a new security strategy. and you 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 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. was 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 you as the st. hellish sanctions follow and of course, who 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 it will backfire. and the initiators of this illegitimate unilateral measures what we may potentially take away from this is something that antony blinking said after his and his meeting with said galen, for all he said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober, had to base 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 such talks have now been confirmed with a video cold between joe biden and vladimir putin now slated for tuesday. meanwhile, another incident came just a day after the meeting of the ministers, a nato spy plane forced to passenger flight to change course. in order to avoid a collision over the black sea, russia called it a danger to civil aviation. and richard becker from the anti war anti coalition says it's not russia that's on the march presentation or what's going on of from the you. aside from the secretary of state, lincoln site is so lacking in credibility and so full of threat. since 1999 just 22 years. the number of country nato, it has almost double and its fraud 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 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 its relationship to russia. what russia is accused us of causing a threat to its civil ation and risking the lives of innocent passengers. and the backlash comes in relation to the incident over the black sea. on friday, russian traffic control were forced to divert the course of 2 airliners to, to prevent them from colliding with a nato's spy plane. a short time ago to ask you to taylor gave me the full scoop on

this. it's no secret that the black sea region has become something of a hot spot in relation between the us and russia. the presence of american warships is one of those all bits. nato allies have in the past, been a cause of serious concern from oscar, which considers the area to be it's fair of influence. but it seems to have crossed over from concern and political games into very real physical danger. nice study is according to the russian foreign ministry. on sunday, it released a statement warning, washington and nato cannot put people's lives at risk without expecting some kind of consequence. so what triggered these was one on friday news came in the russian that traffic control had been forced to change the course of 2 planes which were flying over the black sea. one was making its way from tennessee to moscow. the other from the resort city of thought she to walk to macedonia for why that decision was taken. when apparently a nato reconnaissance pain was trying dangerously close to those 2 across. in fact,

the crew of one claim that they could see and they took on board with that very nice. we have of course, requested a comment from nato. and yet to hear back from the russian perspective, what all the more troubling is the nature plane allegedly ignored numerous attempts by ground crew to make contact, which meant that for them, that was really only one way out of a potentially very tragic accident. and i was, of course, to di, bought those to pass into jet. we are talking about a total of $300.00 people on board. so in light of this, you can probably now appreciate that strong reaction from the foreign ministry. according to them, you've got an unregistered foreign plain, which is refusing to make any contact with local authorities. what's more, it is a very close to hundreds of civilians, so it is in the eyes really paying politics with with innocent knives. now this latest incident follows a period of tensions that was off on approved nature drills,

took pay and the waters on top of that. a couple of days ago we had that to russian fight to jets, had been scrambled to escort a spy pains away from its borders. and at the same time, in recent days, we've really been hearing pretty hostile rhetoric from both american and nato officials, which are absolutely convinced that russia is planning some kind of invasion of ukraine as soon as the new year. partly, but whilst aggressive rhetoric is part and parcel of modern diplomacy, i think we can all agree that creating potentially very volatile situation, which put civilians in harm's way is neither fat nor clean play violating asylum writes, that's the verdict of campaign is angry at an e u solution for migrants attempting to get into europe through the bellow russian border. there are still roughly 2000 of them stranded and bella roost at temporary show shelters there. but now brussels wants to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants in special camps while that happens with various

rights groups, we spoken to warm uphold 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 it has 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 eastern buddha, is now in a bid to tackle the issue that it's granted 3 countries. controversial emergency asylum measures that will give poland lithuania and latvia. the power to hold people in special asylum processing centers up to 16 weeks. that is

a massive increase on the current timeframe that they can do that for weeks. the moves have shocked your human rights organizations. they've accused that you are playing politics with people's lives and bowing to pressure from eastern european member states. and that said that this is feeling 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, all you is accused better worse of frying migrants to minsk and dumping them with the border. the e u says minsk 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 european countries after they crossed over the border from belarus. around 7000 more are 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 the you a quiz. but even you diplomats and law makers are finding this pretty hard to swallow. they describe the move as lowering you standards and even violating you lot, leaving many to question how that you can hold itself up as

a protector on human rights on the one and implement these measures on the other. charlotte's even sky r t. paris. their proposals suggests that migrants wait and specially closed camps on you territory while the applications are processed. however, the head of oxford e use officer saying that the conditions, they also mostly the conditions they're under mine, 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 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. and we choose 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, whether that's now in, in poland and the baltic states, or whether it's on the southern border with greasy to the euro, or spain. there's just panic to reaction and instead of managing it and working as a new 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 or plenty more of the weekly highlights are still to come here on the oxy international, including the story right now, is that ultimately we visit a child tech clinic in moscow. it's where little patients are in need of treatment . amid the pandemic about story, adam ready will coming your way. we are back in just

a hello driven by drill shaped bankers, and those with dares sinks we dare to ask ah

ah ah, a new variant of cove it is causing concern has been spreading around the world over the past week. the so called all microns tray and has now been detected in a dozens of different countries. now, the new barrier was 1st found in botswana that was just over a week ago, and then in neighboring south africa as well. i'm her con, is now also been registered in india, the united states and all the way over in australia as well. were scientists adjusting it, spreading twice as fast as that of the delta variant? well, italian research as a published now the 1st image is open. you strain,

for example, on the right is the more constrained 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 has ultimately of old, but it's not yet clear if it is more dangerous, no deaths have been reported. however, officials at the world health organization of saying it's too early to relax. we shouldn't need and either wake up cornel. we should all be wide awake to the threat of these vidas. but ami chrome is very emergencies. another reminder that old so many of us might think we're done. we scobee 19 it's not done with us. well, in response to the new cope, it's trained numerous nations of our strict travel from south africa, israel and japan. there among the 1st so far it's been all in coming travelers. and many people have just found themselves stranded in south africa. travel bands being

radically imposed on these poll asleep. now reports from gelatinous bugs at port. this elation distillation situation 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 thousands of people were living here. 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 to board, many of them, south africans disk, but 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 my my bash and she started the computer interested. all the flat 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 to be i wouldn't make any difference. i do congratulate deleted for taking such quick action, but i do think that they really need to fall before making decisions that really affect the lives of so many people. the prices for the few remaining sites out of here have skyrocketed, as has the cost of mandatory coven testing international community. it's a 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 things. it's not a south african variant,

and that it is elsewhere in the global community that instead of being a coded south africa, has now been push on the best policy on t to 100 south africa. so scientists and now trying to adopt existing vaccines to that of a new strain. earlier we spoke to a melita of wind overture representative of the w h o. here in russia. when a mutation shows a number, i would say changes a number of mutations that he can relate to something either to previous knowledge . for example, be so by this variance has mutations many more mutations on the spike dropping it is actually these 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 viruses, other variance,

it has the media to come into concert. so i think it knowledge, but you don't have to give me all this logic the normally he keeps 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 off. 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. but protests against a tightening of cobra measures in the belgian capital of brussels, have descended into chaos. ah, well, you can see the fireworks have been blasting in the street. so while police have been using t,

a gas and water cannon and estimated 8000 people march through brussels to day chanting freedom, demonstrators have been ann good by new anti virus measures, like mandatory mosques for children over the age of 6. and the talk potential compulsory vaccination in the new year. and while cove, it mainly poses a threat to elderly and vulnerable people with pre existing conditions. apparently, children are not entirely immune. we visit a child health clinic here at moscow to find out more. ah, ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they in to our children an age from one month to 17 years, the conditions varied severity for children harris,

severely l, and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common on children, but it still happens. listen, showing 3 to full in c t severity to period. there is full. so this means complete lung damage, almost 100 percent or store or what is especially alarming is that very importantly, just like an adult, there's a tendency for the disease to rapidly develop. meaning that at some point, you know, 10 percent of the lungs are affected. and then suddenly it's up to almost 100 percent. yes, that's exactly what we've been seeing. especially when parents wait too long to call a doctor. how old are you? 10 years out there. exactly. how do you feel? no, sometimes i have a headache, but i'm okay. that's not a my. how long have you been ill? 10 days already? yes, i'm in my 2nd week, which are age puts are at risk, which is we've actually seen the highest incidence right among teenagers, 2 thirds of the children,

a school age kids between 7 and 17 years old. it is because they are hanging out together and contact on each other all the time. right. among other things, yes, in you. out of them, it's mostly tmj. is that become infected because they always hanging out together here. also because statistically they demonstrate a more severe course of illness than individuals of other ages to go get rid of them because their bodies are growing so fast and because of their hormonal process, his mom are yes, that home arnold bye grounds. and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease. for you to chew with the name is i didn't, there money is it is not a harmless disease. it's not sorry that we sound alarm and there is a disease for which there is no medicine. we have to day the course of the disease is unpredictable. we don't know why someone has an ard and someone else has an easy human. we, as we know there are risk groups, but for some unknown reason with

a severe case of the disease and who can be observed among the healthy children a as a child and eventually wearing the oxygen mask. well yes, the child is really missing his mother, which is logical. that's why we always talk to him. the doctors are always with him . otherwise he can tear off the mask that children are getting much sicker than in the 1st way. and worse than the 2nd and 3rd or yes, worse than waves 2 and 3, which is just as you are for, for your full complications develop very often us accounted. i do not depend on the severity of the disease. it's cooper, this even children who have shown no symptoms face complications. what do you think about vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea. near dreaming. yeah, hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children. also a source of infection, which if children are not vaccinated, we will not be able to grade enough to recollect of immunity,

which we have all been talking about for so long yet that works in that are both with the vaccine work. so what should the concerns be here? the theoretically, we understand that this vaccine cannot be more dangerous than ada. no virus infection. well, some of the vaccine is infectious for cell will, but not for the body in control that the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce the other, doesn't have any real sinew, priesthood. ah, so britain is quote, led by a clown. that's how the french president has brandon boris johnson. as frowns, his former u. k. envoy warns relations have hit their lowest and more than 200 years macro allegedly made the remarks in a private conversation offer a number of public rounds. bobo 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 in just to let his spot micron took offense to allah had johnson tweeted that appeared to blame franz for the record flow of asylum seekers. so paris promptly scrapped its invitation to the u. k to a european meeting on migration will artie host and former m p. george galloway says there seems to be a bit of a destructive mood in some parts of european politics these days. only 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 that we have now. but if, but as 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, a post natal depression, on the part of the french and b, e u. in general. we have left them, they 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 flow 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 satisfies with neither of these 2 leaders, but as long as they are the leaders, then they have to obey diplomatic norms. yeah,

this conversation continues online right now at auto dot com. just click on the u. k. section. well that's just about wraps up this. i was weekly here. we're not international. thank you for sharing some of your time with us here at moscow. a unit o'neill here at the desk in half an hour's time with more of your weekly highlights. i hope you can join him. then we have you a tool that was bad for your eyes and your post. yeah. that it would stop you from having real friends and finding a girlfriend. but what they failed to mention is that you could make thousands of dollars over the weekend by simply playing video games with a couple of them, but always wanted to question a little bit because i was originally it okay. much more to do except there's no sooner course to make video games

a high paying job. you have to be gifted and quick with it. hang on to a post like the typical submitting people's to listening and ms. thompson webpage bentley up and young's booth. but even started yet, glove voice. when you mouse told me another dealer, i don't you mean i was at kneels. feel like you could i of the order, but i would that be cool? it will still be just to see if it's odd to do i. okay. ah, that breaking toil forced labor
