ah ah, just give us a nightmare scenario. military confrontation has returned to you room. this dark warning from russia is top diploma to head of a meeting with his u. s. counterpart this week survey love ra fathered that moscow would not tolerate that beefing up of nato's presence in neighboring states. asylum seekers may have to wait months up the e belarus border to get processed if a new plan from brussel if get that go ahead. humanitarian organization ox from told us the move, throws away the rule book. we could have managed as easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. the all mean crawling co, very and grips 38 countries. the world health organization tells our tea more time is needed to understand how potent that maybe we do not have report at this moment

. that atheist, causing more severe disease or death is more than felt. this is not something that we should accurate all. we really need a bit more time ah, with the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly an rti hello and welcome a lack of diplomacy. that's what russia's foreign minister accused nate to of on thursday. sir la for off also exchanged tough words with his u. s. counterpart during the meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. and gave this stark warning ahead of about summit. it was difficult, this up was 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 sidelines 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 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 that 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 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 blinkin 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 peer all of our taking us through that well, richard becker from the anti were answer. coalition say it's not russia that's on the march presentation on what's going on from the us side from the secretary said, blanket aside is so lacking and credibility and so full of threat since $999.00 just 22 years. the number of countries in nato has almost doubled and strong fire from the north atlantic, which is what it was called. you know, what it's so it's called 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 i was, you know, every year surrounding the united states

a little bit more or germany or france or britain or any of the nato countries. by that is what is happening in regard to nato and its relationship to russia. russia is accused the us of risking the lives of innocent airline passengers following an incident in the black sea region on friday, russian or traffic control say they were forced to divert the course of to our liners, to prevent them colliding with the natal spy plane, r t sauce gay taylor picks up the story. it's no secret out. 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 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 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 macedonia for why that decision was taken. when apparently a nato reconnaissance payne was flying dangerously close to those to croft. 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. but from the russia perspective, what's all the more troubling is the nature plain, allegedly ignored numerous attempts by ground crew to make contact, which meant that for them, that was really the only one way out of a potentially very tragic accident. and i was of course to die,

but those to pass him to jets. we are talking about a total of $300.00 people on board. so in light of this, you can probably be 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 nato drills, took pay and the waters on top of that. a couple of days ago we heard that 2 russian fight, 2 jets had been scrambled to escort 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 drops neatly 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 puts civilians in harm's way as neither fat nor clean play. violating asylum writes down to the verdict of campaigners angry as an e. u. solution for migrants attempting to get into europe via the bell russian border. there are still roughly 2000 of them stranded in belarus, a temporary shelters. now brussels wants to accept the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants and special comes while that happens. right groups of war and the plums, that's a dangerous precedent. if the you can allow 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,

f e u borders puts politics over people's lives. you is trying to get tough on migration, particularly on its eastern borders. so in a bit to tackle the issue that it's granted 3 countries, controversial emergency asylum measures that will give poland lithuania and lat, via 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 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 fueling an empty migration agenda. these new rules will also extend the time that these countries have the even officially

register asylum applications that could now increased up to 4 weeks up from a maximum of 10 days. at the moment, no tensions on the eastern borders of the e. u. have been high. for many months. the all you is accused better worse of frying migrants to minsk and dumping them with the buddha. 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 you a quiz. when 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 hand. and implement these measures only elbow charlotte, even ski r t, paris. while the proposal suggests that migrants wait in special close camps on the you territory while their applications are processed. however, the head of ox from the u office tools are ti, the conditions, their undermine basic laws. you'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 flaw this island 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 about take stage, or whether it's on the southern border with camecia to lee yours or spain. there says panic to reaction and instead of managing it and working as each 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. so ahead in the weekly recap, we visit a child care clinic in moscow where little patients are in need of treatment the amid the pump. demick dots coming up with ah ah ah ah ah ah

with ah, with join me every 1st bit on the alex simon sure. obviously you the yes on the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah. c o this week, a new variant of cobit calls concerned and has been rapidly spreading around the

world. the only cron strain has not been detected in dozens of countries. the new variant 1st emerged in botswana late last month and then in neighboring south africa on micron has now been detected in almost 40 countries with the united states estrella among the latest signed to say it appears to spread twice as fast as the delta variant. let's get into that indeed, italian researchers have published the 1st images of the new strain on the left here is the delta variant, the right all me chron, which is the red area show has many more mutations on just to show at present. it doesn't appear, we need to say any more dangers with no debts in the world being reported from the street. the spy thought the world health organization is raising the alarm. we shouldn't need another wake up. good. we should all be wide awake to the threat of this virus. but all me,

chrome is very emergencies. another reminder that all so many of us might think we're done. we scave it. 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 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. 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 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. i mean, it's all just completely changed and there's no way that i, i can go, i've been vaccinated 3 times. so i am as fascinate as to be i 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 a cognizant of the fact 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 upholders, south africa has now been push on the blacklist policy on t, johannesburg, 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 change is a number of mutations that we can relate to something either to previous knowledge

or for example, the buyer at the very end has mutations, many more mutations on this pipe protein. it is actually these, the needle that the virus is using to getting to the salad make us in fact 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 just acknowledge, but we don't have a logical noise. it's telling us at the moment that this is a more deadly virus. what we know from south africa is that mainly 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 merman 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. protests against a tightening of covert measures in the belgian capital have descended into chaotic . seems today ah ah, ah. fireworks sell been exploding in the streets while police use tear gas and water counting against those protest thing and estimated a 1000 people marched through brussels on sunday, chanting freedom demonstrated or angered by new anti virus measures like mandatory masks for children over the age of 6. and the talk potential compulsory vaccination

in the new year. and while cobit mainly over whelming li poses a threat, elderly and vulnerable people, children aren't entirely immune. we visit the child's health at clinic here in moscow to find out a little more. ah, what age are the children here and what conditions are they in to? our children are age from one month to 17 years. the conditions varied severity for children here is severely ill and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children, but it still happened listen, showing 3 to full and c t severity to period 3rd 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, no 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 what. how long have you been ill? 10 days already? oh yes, i'm in my 2nd week. her 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 is because they are hanging out together and contact on each other all the time. right. among other things, yes, do you now to them it's mostly teenagers that become infected because they always

hanging out together. you also because statistically they demonstrate a more severe course of illness than individuals of other ages. don't get rid of them because their bodies are growing. so fast and because of their hormonal process as well, yes, that mono bye grounds. and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more about the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease. or if you choose, the thing is indeed nobody is, it is not a harmless disease. it's not sorry that we sound the 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 it hard and someone else has an easy human. we, as we know there are risk groups, but for some unknown reason, we are a severe case of the disease and can be observed among healthy children. ah, here's 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 of 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 us near your for complications develop very often us the coded. i do not depend on the severity of the disease. 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. you're dreaming, hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children. 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 yet that works in that 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 infection. well, some of the vaccine is infectious for cell,

but not for the body inventory at the level of the organism. the virus does not reproduce that as much as any real said. you please would. britain is led by a clay that so they french president, reportedly brandon boris johnson this week. as frances former u. k. envoy warned relations of hit their lowest point in within 200 years. emanuel micron allegedly made the remarks in a private conversation after a number of public rows. 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's sad to see such a great country with which we could do so much led by a clown. in the latest spots, micron took offense to a letter jilson tweeted,

they'll appear to blame friends for the record flow of asylum seekers. boris promptly scrap this invitation to the u. k. to a european meeting on migration r t host and for and p george galloway. sales people on both sides of the channel are being let on badly by their leaders 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 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 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. 5 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 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 satisfies with neither of these do leaders. but as long as they are the leaders, then they have to obey diplomatic norms. another chance to watch one of our most popular documentaries of the year in moments. a mysterious disappearance that lifts the lid on

a spice scandal. abuse of power within the police ranks not saw hollywood thriller . it's real life on the dakota entrapment tapes gets going right after the breaking . ah my name is jason. wherever you are. you did you remember me right mm. he had been searching the river. it was pretty obvious. he had muddy boots on. he was arrogant . he was sitting there like this with his muddy blue and you know, flicking mud all over the floor. and he just like he was king of

the world in your thought. he was aggressive, even at that time as far as as a how he we handled himself just kind of, he got that feeling that he was searching for a criminal and that's when he told me that my son was a drug dealer. you are, you're here for nursery. she can has told us that he wasn't just using marijuana, but he was actually selling it on campus and he is, had a felony against him. and they hadn't charged him with it yet, but he was pending to dolly's. so deliveries sauce as they took place on.
