[000:00:00;00] a, a nightmare scenario, military confrontation has returned to you. this dark warning from russia's top diploma, the head of a meeting with his u. s. counterpart. this week, sir, again, love raw father, that moscow would not tolerate that beefing up of nato's presence in neighboring states. also ahead asylum seekers may have to wait a month. so the e u beller rooster border to get processed. if a new client from brussels gets the go ahead. humanitarian organization, oxfam told us that moved, throws away the rule. pope camp. we could have managed this easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. and as the all

me crawling variant grips 38 countries, the world health organization tells our team more time is needed to understand how important it may be. we do not have reports, at least merriment that is causing more severe disease or death is more detail. this is not something that he should speculate on. we really need a bit more time. ah oh, with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly on our tea. hello and welcome. a lack of diplomacy bounce won't russia's foreign minister accused nato of this week. he also exchanged tough words with his u. s. counterpart during the meeting of the organization for security and

cooperation in europe. and give this stark warning ahead of the summit. because gifted is 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 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 galen, for all 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 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 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 results in counter sanctions and fight said gay law for all did say that there had been essentially a failure if diplomacy from his west and partners and said that if serious sanctions were imposed on russia that there would be consequences going back, feel the way, usually possibly a group know if, if you as the say, how is sanctions follow of course or will react? we cannot not react. what will be our response? it will be seen. 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 anthony 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 ad debates and that both of foreign ministers, both senior diplomats will 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 . we got some reaction to development. sir, richard becker from the anti word answer coalition says it's not to russia that's on the march presentation or what's going on from the us side from secretary state, blinking sites is so lacking in credibility and so full of threat since 999, just 22 years, the number of countries in nato has almost doubled and strong and 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 came to surround russia. presentation is false on the part of, of lincoln. it's not russia that's marching westward. and i, 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. russia has accused the us of risking the lives of innocent earlynn passengers following an incident in the black sea region. on friday, russian or a traffic control were forced to divert the course of 2 lines to prevent them colliding with a nato spy plane or t saskia taylor picks up the story. it'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, as well as those all that nato allies. how then 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. a 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 and the russian traffic control had been forced to change the course of 2 planes which were flying over the black sea. no one was making its way from tennessee to moscow. the other from the resort city of thought she to move macedonia as to 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 the native bombard you with that very nice. we have of course, requested a comment from nato and yet to hear back. but from the russian perspective,

what all the more troubling is that the nature plain 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 die thought those to pass into jets. 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 plane, 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 lives. now this latest incident follows a period of tensions that was off on approved nature drills, took place, and the waters on top of that. a couple of days ago we heard that to russian fighter jets had been scrambled to escort spy pains away from its porters. and at the same time, in recent days,

we've really been hearing pretty hostile rhetoric from both american and nato officials, which drops newly convinced that russia was tiny, some kind of invasion of ukraine as soon as the new year. partly, but was aggressive. rhetoric is part and parcel of modern diplomacy. i think we can all agree that creating potentially it's very volatile situation, which put civilians in harm's way is neither nor clean play violating asylum writes the verdict of campaigners angry. an e u. solution for migrants attempting to get into europe by the bell or russian border. there are still roughly 2000 of them stranded in bel reset temporary shelters. now, brussels wants to extend the asylum processing time by month. keep the migrants in special camps while that happens. right, scripts of worn don't, the 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. when you, you 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 say that this is feeling an empty migration agenda. these new rules will also extend the time that these countries have the e when 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. u. have been high for many months. the e u is accused by the 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. also, they crossed over the border from belarus around 7000 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're 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 quays. quit even you diplomats and lawmakers of finding this pretty hard to swallow. they describe the move as lowering you stand. it's an 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. while the proposal suggests that migrants wait in special clues come sunday you territory wilder applications are processed. however,

the head of ox problems you off has seized the conditions there 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 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. the commissioner also has said that these are not the highest number of migraines, 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 new border rises, whether that's now in, in poland and about to stage, or whether it's on the southern border with greece, italy, or,

or spain. there's this panic to reaction and instead of managing it and working an e u member states together to share the responsibility for hosting asylum seekers and for for sharing responsibility for the, for them aside and process. we see that is every time this is instead of political crisis. so ahead in the weekly recap, we visit the child care clinic in moscow where a little patients are in need of treatment amid the pun. demik intriguing story. this when i was coming up after the break. ah, i what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally

and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with

the hello again. this week, a new variant of cobit cause concern and has been rapidly spreading around the world. the army chrome strain has not been detected in dozens of countries. then you vary and 1st emerged in botswana late last month, and then in neighboring south africa on chrome has not been detected in almost 40 countries with the united states, the streets, among the latest side, to say it appears to spread twice as fast of the delta vary and let's get into that indeed, italian researchers published the 1st images of the news strain on the left. here is the delta variant. the right i'll make crumb, which is the red area show has many more mutations. and just to show at present, it doesn't appear, we need to say any more dangerous with no debts in the world being reported from the stream. despite that,

the world health organization is raising the alarm. we shouldn't need another wake up call. we should all be wide awake to the threat of this virus. but all me for 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 on response to the new cobit strain. numerous nations have restricted travel from south africa with israel, japan going so far as the band all incoming travelers. i'm indeed many people have found themselves stranded in south africa as trouble buns are imposed. ortiz, paula sla, reports from the countries busiest airport, desolation, desperation, 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,

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 liveing here desperate 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 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 to my mother and she started to 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. 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 of that as many as 7 out of 10 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. they insist, it's not a south african variant. and that it is elsewhere in the global community that instead of being appointed south africa, has now been push on the blackness policy r t to hunter's book south africa. and right now,

scientists are rushing to adopt existing vaccines to fight the new stream of the big challenge. alma aspect a representative of the w h o and russia told us for a mutation shows a number of i would say changes a number of mutations. ah, that we can relate to something either to previous knowledge or for example, the so by the variance 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, make us infect stage to actually cause infection to spread further. and this is why, because it has many more and other viruses are the variance. each has immediately come into concert. so i think has scientific knowledge, but we don't have a logical knowledge. you telling us at the moment that this is a more deadly virus. what we know from south africa is that mainly young people at

this is wherever cluster was detected. and we do know that callie's been young, people is lighter. we do not have reports at this moment 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 a place for preparedness, proportion, and action. i protests against a tightening of co good measures in the belgian capital have descended into chaotic scenes. ah, yes, you can see their fireworks have been exploding in the streets while police are using care gas from water colonies, fonts, an estimated 8 house, and people march through brussels today, sunday, chanting freedom. demonstrators are angered by new anti virus measures like

mandatory must for all children over the age of 6 on the talk potential, compulsory vaccination then and while co, mainly poses a threat to the elderly and vulnerable people. children aren't entirely immune. we visited a child health clinic here in moscow to find out more. ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they in to our children are age from one month to 17 years. the conditions vary in severity. the children here severely l and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children,

but it still happens showing 3 to full and c t severity. 3rd form. so this means complete lung damage. almost 100 percent are store. one is especially allow me is that very importantly, just like an adults, there is a tendency for the disease to rapidly develop. meaning that at some point, 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? exactly. how do you feel? 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. her age put through 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 is because they are hanging out together and contact and each other all the time. right. among other things, yes,

you out of them, it's mostly teenage, is that the come and thanked it because they always hanging out together also because statistically they demonstrate a more severe cause of illness than individuals of other ages. get rid of them because their bodies are growing so fast. and because of their hormonal processes, yes, that mono bye grounds. and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more are the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease. to chew living in that in their money, is it, it's not a harmless disease. it's not sorry. we sound alarm when there is a disease for which there is no medicine to day. the course of the disease is unpredictable. we don't know why someone has it hard and someone else has an easy human. we know there are risk groups, but for some unknown reason, a severe case of the disease can be observed among healthy children. ah, this is

a child and eventually wearing an 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 sick than in the 1st way. and worse than the 2nd. and 3rd, yes, worse than waves $2.00 and $3.00, which is just as you are for, for his uniform complications. develop very often asked the coated, i do not depend on the severity of the disease. even children who have shown no symptoms face complications. what do you think about vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea yet, lee, me hasn't died. there is no time to wait for the children are also a source of infection, which if children are not vaccinated but will not be able to grade the necessary collective immunity, which will have all been talking about her so long. it works in that a book with the vaccine works. so what should the concerns be here? the theoretically, we understand that this vaccine cannot be more dangerous than ada. no virus

infections. some of the vaccine is infectious for cell, but not for the body in between. at the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce the herbs mazin the real sinew. please hood, ah, britain is led by a line belt, saw the french president. how's brenda burgis johnson? how's frances former? you can void warrant relations. have hit their lowest point in more than 200 years . manual micron allegedly made the remarks in a private conversation after a number of public wrongs. bo talks to me full speeds, everything's going well. we have grown up conversations, but he strikes me before and after. as having an elegant way about him, it's always the same circus it start to see such a great country with which we could do so much led by

a clown. and in the latest spot, micron took offense to a letter. a johnson tweeted to appeared to blame france for the record flew of asylum seekers. paris promptly scrubbed its invitation to the u. k to european meeting on migration and r t host, former and p george galloway. essays. people on both sides of the channel are being left on badly by their leaders. 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 bodice johnson is the circus clown, i'm afraid the manual macaroni 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 arm. 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 abundant, may 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. now whether we want to or not. so we're going to be hearing

a lot more about the $1000000000.00 industry. that is e, sports, or short duck tapping for glory has all you need to know, and it's next ah . with the war on drugs, it's noted as a way to combat a gray problem. what's the war on drugs? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected to this time. the fight against drugs took her to try and shake, told us that it was a competence short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly

they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in the river like that something else had to be happening. i mass kaiser with more of my guy to finance all survival. this is a hedge fund. it's a device used by professional galle wags to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable and we're just adding more and more to them totally. they stabilize that global economy, you need to protect yourself and get informed. what guys we would work with
