[000:00:00;00] a a nightmare scenario of military confrontation has returned to europe, the stark warning from russia's top diplomat ahead of a meeting with his u. s. counterpart. sergey lab. rob added that moscow would not tolerate the beefing up of nato's presence in neighboring states. asylum seekers. it may have to wait months at the bellows border to get processed if a new plan from brussel gets the go ahead, humanitarian organization, oxfam told us the move, throws away the rule book. we could have managed this easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. and as the alma khan cove, it variant groups, dozens of countries of the world health organization tells our tea more time is

needed to understand how potent it may be. we do not have report at least murmur that is causing more severe disease or deputies more detail. this is not something that we should speculate off. we really need a bit more time. ah, a broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international . what have you with us as we recap the week's top stories with our weekly program . now, a lack of diplomacy. that is what russia as a foreign minister accused nato of on thursday, sergey lab. i've also exchanged tough words with his us counterpart during the meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe and gave this start warning ahead of the summit. just because gifted this up as 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 sidelines of this o se ministerial conference, as the foreign minister of russia said. a gale of rav 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 off 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 tell us 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 of diplomacy from his western partners and said that if serious sanctions were imposed on russia that there would be consequences going back field awake 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 dead and road, and in the end 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 gay love rav. he said that had been a frank, and full discussion and honest and sober 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 . richard becker from the anti war answer coalition says it's not russia that is on the march presentation or what's going on from the us side from the secretary said lincoln is so lacking in 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, what it's so it's called the north atlantic treaty organization. but it's currently the strategy came 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. russia is accused us of risking the lives of civilian airline passengers. following an incident in the black sea region on friday, russian air traffic control says that they were forced to divert the course of 2 airliners to prevent them colliding with nato spy plane or to foster taylor comment . 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 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. li study is, according to the russian foreign ministry. on sunday, it released

a statement warning, washington and nato cannot put people's lives 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 was frying over the black scene. one was making its way from tennessee to moscow. the other from the resort city of thought she to wolf macedonia, for why that decision was taken. what apparently, a nato recognizance pain was flying dangerously close to those 2 aircraft. in fact, the crew of one claim that they could see the native bombard you with us very own eyes. we have of course, requested a comment from nato on all yet to head back. but from the russian perspective, we'll talk more troubling. is that the native plain allegedly ignored numerous attempts by ground crew to make contact, which meant that for that. and that was where you only one way out of a potentially very tragic accident. and that was of course,

to die bought those 2 passenger jets. we all 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 knives. now this latest incident follows a period of tensions that was off on approved nato drills, took place in the waters on top of that. a couple of days ago we had that to russian fight to jets, had been scrambled to escort spy pains away from its borders. at the same time, in recent days, really been hearing pretty hostile rhetoric from both american and nato officials, which drops newly convinced that rush was pounding, some kind of invasion of ukraine as soon as the new year. partly, but once aggressive rhetoric is part and parcel of molten diplomacy,

i think we can all agree that creating potentially it's very volatile situation, which puts civilians at homes way is neither fat nor clean play violating asylum writes, that's the verdict of campaigners angry at. and you salute for migrants attempting to get into europe through the bell russian border. there are still roughly 2000 of them stranded in bellows at temporary shelters. now brussels wants to extend the asylum processing time by months and keep the migrants in special camps while it happens right. groups have warned that the plan, so it's 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 as on human rights in the rule of law, stopping detaining, and criminalize and people trying to find safety in europe, brakes 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 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, no tensions on the eastern borders of the e. u have been high for many months. the e u is accused beller 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 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. 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 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 quays. quit even you diplomats and lawmakers, a finding this pretty hard to swallow. they've described the move as lowering you standards and even violating you law, 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. the proposal suggests that migrants weight in special closed camps on you territory while other applicants are process. however, the head of ox firms, you office told are to you the conditions there undermine basic laws. are 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 but because of the florida side and procedures in, in these border border detention center, it will also make it much easier to send people back and to harm. 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 right is whether that's now in, in poland and the baltic stage, or whether it's on the southern border with greasy it to the you or, or spain, or says panic to reaction. and instead of managing it and working as you 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, still have in the weekly recap, we visited child care clinic in moscow where the little patients are in need of treatment to mid the pandemic. that is coming up to stay with us. this is our transnational, the weekly for either financial survival guy. i don't buy a, i buy a futures. that's not an i'm of the friday at the last time i buy it from the future. so crocker watch kaiser reporting ah. and said, did i have to say that the in the criteria are in germany for many years? his main compatibility with public opinion. those politicians pause has come to

10th. we act in line with what people expect from them. but public opinion is produced or shaped by mass media. those are shaped by journalists. most german journalists are sympathizers of the social democrats, of the green, z a for as long as it goes green and social democratic policy projects. you pass is a competent leader. with y'all, welcome back to the weekly on our to international this week, a new variant of coven cause concern and has been rapidly spreading around the world. the omar constrain has now been detected in dozens of countries. my colleague, you know,

neil has more the new variance 1st emerged in botswana late last month and then in neighboring south africa. all micron has not 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 image is all 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 gold. we should all be wide awake to the threat of this virus. but all me,

chrome is very emergencies. another reminder that old so many of us might think we're done. we've corbett, 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 find themselves stranded in south africa as trouble buns are imposed. ortiz, policy reports from the countries busiest airport, destination desperation, aspiration, and anger. these are just some of the emotions that people here in south africa are experiencing. i'm hearing on the tambo important one is that this is the main international april in south africa. and as you can see, the airport is practically deserted. crying on the scene, he 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 state was being implemented. the situation such is why to 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 for 10 days, just my, my bash, and she started to computer interested all the flat for the same but 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 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 fall before making decisions that really affect the lives of so many people. prices for

the few remaining sites out of here have skyrocketed, as has the cost of mandatory coven testing. international community is 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. and since it's not a south african very end, and that it is elsewhere in the global community, that instead of being applauded, south africa has now been pushed on the blacklist policy r t to hannah's book in south africa. and right now, scientists are rushing to adopt existing vaccines to fight the new stream. that's the big challenge. alma aspect 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 rotations that we can relate to something either to previous knowledge

. for example, the so by this variance has invitations many more mutations on the spike protein. it is actually these the needle that the virus is using to getting to the salad, make us infected, to actually cause infection to spread further. and this is why, because it has many more and other versus other variants, it has immediately come into concert. so i just acknowledge, but we don't have to give me all the logic the noise you telling us at the moment that this is a more deadly virus. what we know from south africa is that 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 report merriman 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. while covered mainly poses a threat to 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 into 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. but unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children, but it still happened with showing 3 to full and c t severity theory. oh, 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, 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, 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 is because they are hanging out together and contact on each other all the time. right. among other things, yes. do you how to them as mostly tmj is that become and sanctity because they

always hanging out together here also because statistically they demonstrate a more severe course of illness than and of the tools of other ages. don't 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 move. the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease or teaching in that in their money. is it, it's not a harmless disease, it's not sorry that we sound alarm when 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, a severe case of the disease and can be observed among healthy children. ah, here's a child on a ventilator wearing an oxygen mask. well yes, the child is really missing his mother,

which is logical. that's why we always told to him the doctors are always with him . otherwise he can tear off the mos than children are getting much sick than in the 1st way. and worse than the 2nd and 3rd or yes, worse than waves 2 and 3, which in joker is yours or for your full complications. develop very often asked the counted, 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, it hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children also as sort 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 for so long. it works in that book with the vaccine works. so what should the concerns be here? the theoretically, we understand that this faxing cannot be more dangerous than ada, no virus infections. some of the vaccine is infectious for cells, but not for the body in between. at the level of the organism,

the virus does not reproduce the earth, was any real sinew, priesthood ah, swinging around the glove, now for some more news around the world on ah, on the outskirts of paris, an indoor rally held by controversial far right french presidency candidate exit more saw violent scenes on sunday left wing activists who were also protecting outside the venue, were inside and clashed with supporters of it more and security. so more himself was also caught up in the violence with a member of the crowd, briefly holding him in a headlock local ethiopian community gathered to protest in the lebanese, the city of bay route. on sunday, they are against us interference and ethiopia, which is gripped by conflict. the main rebel group fighting at the government is

the te gray people's liberation front. the country which is under sanctioned by the u. s. has slammed to washington for actions. it says legitimize the separatist group, 14 people have been killed in more than 50, injured after the mount to summarily volcano. on the indonesian island of java erupted on saturday. after colossal ash clouds mud slides and fears of further major eruptions, a large scale evacuation is now taking place. more than a 1000 people have reportedly been driven to find shelter in an emergency. accommodation and hundreds are hurriedly relocating their lifestyle. commit that the disaster does it for me this hour? i will be back and let's say 33 minutes with another full infrastructure news and the weekly,

this is our international with oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection community. are you going the right way?

or are you being led somewhere? which direct? what is true was is faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend, ah, to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. to suck it on you being, are you oh no, no, no, but they did a high middle now i own my head up my lap and i didn't thought that where your left knee, knuckle, my love, bob, begin thought, no, well i'm going up there to be a, well,

i'm really happy correlations forbid. i thought, yeah, it's not in a simple story is that the decline of the us postal service coincides with the rise of the internet, an e mail, and that story is just too simplistic. first, class mail volumes have declined and that has created financial pressure. but if you look at mail volume as a whole, particularly if you look at the parcel segment, they have grown substantially. looking at internet use, people with more use of the internet or more access to the internet tend to get more mail. ah, the role and influence of private corporations is tremendous. and their ability to shape the legal environment than really reflects their desire to limit competition . if the postal service lives out of the way that you think your fedex and you could charge more for what they do,

if the postal service was out of the way that you think the vampires and congress could sell off all the property, then all the assets the postal service has and steal that money, who all across the united states. we're losing very distinguished buildings and public art that they contain major buildings at the post service owned, iconic, beautiful buildings in the centers of town. have been sold to real estate developers for not that much money. oh oh, they were designed to be among the best buildings in town, architecturally distinguished, but also the craftsmanship. oh,
