ah ah, the czech republic confirms mandatory vaccination for some professions. it's amid growing disagreements in the you over coercion. but the stays were urged to come up with a common approach to making jobs compose with job. now looking in less than diplomatic mood ahead of crisis talks late on to say we vladimir putin triggered i tensions over you crime. we talked exclusively to the russian president, but also our t looks and increasing abuse faced by female prisoners in america who have to share cells with self identifying trends. women women's rights group say that some women

feel trapped. they told her that if she wanted to be separated from him that she needed to basically move herself, there was no chance that he would be remote from her space. ah, or good morning to appreciate your company here on our tea and smashed the czech republic hands confirmed mandatory vaccinations for people aged over 60 as well as for certain professions including health care workers and police officers. the move comes after european commission president o'sullivan de lion urged the e you states to consider mandatory jobs and to come up with a common approach. but there is also some strong opposition to that. i'm generally very skeptical about coercion. i think we can reach an adequate vaccination rate by

other means, nor would we reach 100 percent by force and as well as political opposition. there's also resistance on european streets with protest sweeping, austria, belgium, germany and slovenia. things got quite techy in brussels, too, with people hurling rocks and police using tear gas and water cannon. ah. meanwhile europe struggling with a record cove had 19 serge with deli cases rising almost eightfold since june. the world health organization insists inoculation is the only way to end the pandemic. my colleague in on a neil discussed these vaccination campaign with a panel of guests. we've gone through 2 years of at least in this country. people

saying one thing during the, during the other than the actually changing the rules. and when they opened up the parks in this country, for instance, that was the end of it. we're never going to be able to get back to the point where people need to make the tough decisions, allow employees to, to work from home without penalty or social ostracize ation. we know that vaccines do a fantastic job for a very safe medicine and they're protecting the health care systems in these different countries. a lot of what we're seeing, potentially particularly central and eastern europe is a lack of trust that the government, i think a lot a lot of this is about bad or poor messaging throughout the pandemic on the fundamental breakdown in the trust that the population individuals are with their governments, people should have the choice as to what medical treatment they am had. first of all, people were told that we start to have our 1st job, which we did and, and now a 2nd job. and now where we've been encouraged to have a stella, where is it gonna end? do we have to have this coven vaccination every 3 months?

so how, how, where is it going? no end. and it just seems quite confusing because government say one thing and do another thing. they tell us do this and then they change their mind for us to do that. lawrence, are you fearful where this leads? if mondrey vaccinations do become widespread, i can see that being a massive backlash to this, i think it is counter intuitive, you know, except that there's a degree of vaccine agency and i can understand it up to a point and that's where i think that's a message is important, i wonder if, you know vaccine possibles are all the ways of doing this to try and persuade people about the the about getting bark. so they did, i just wonder where the mandating. ready vaccination is just to start to fall. i think there's absolutely a financial motive behind a lot of this. i think some of the financial motive is that governments aren't willing to take some of the drastic for things such as locked down to restrictions . i think here in the u. k, you'll see something in january. if you look at universities, for instance, continuing to bring in students into areas and mandating. not that staff are

vaccinated for instance, but that staff teach in areas that are crowded with students who are coughing, sometimes wearing masks. sometimes not a lot of this is because we're all living on economic bubbles that are just ready to burst. a lot of nurses and loss health care professionals. ready already leave it in the profession g to and you know, the problem is in the mental health issues. and now you wouldn't make an injection mandatory. i don't think it's saying i don't think it's right. and i think is a lot to do with educating people and giving them the choice vaccine producers, including the turner, their warning that drugs their drugs might be less effective against, than you all may crohn variant. if that proves truth does up to simply pushes back to square one, i don't think so. i think it's likely that the car vaccines will have some impact, even if that protection drops a few percentage. that's a big difference to the large population of infected individuals. and therefore, we need to think other about other mitigations alongside parts and i should we also

need to take into account the controversial police crime sentences and calls phil and given and we're living in a place they already. this is quite wiring and now they're talking about force vaccines. is very maureen and i just us myself. where is it gonna end to get over the last year and a half of governments that haven't been following their own rules and corporations that haven't been following the rules and making a profit off the backs of people who have to pay a lot of money. sometimes to get access to vaccines, there's an inequality because the atlantic mandatory jobs are also funding divisions, new york since become the 1st us city to require vaccines for all private sector workers. smith build diblasio says the rule will take effect later this month. just before his term ends. what is kelly morgan explains? new york city mayor bill de blasio, who portrays himself as a national leader in the fight against coven 19, has taken a pretty bold move. and announced a vaccine mandate for the whole city of new york. for all private businesses. he

cited the on the kron variant as well as cold weather and seasonal fluids and other factors in making this decision. quite a big move from the new york city mayor, who is outgoing, he will soon be out of office. here's what he said. as of today, we're going now say, 1st in the nation, measure our health commissioner. well, now's a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board. now, vaccines are already required for all city employees that seizures firefighters, police officers, emergency medical workers, etc. furthermore, they are required for the staff of all religious and private schools in new york city. but this new mandate will hit a 184000 private businesses across the city of new york. they will be required to have vaccinations for all of their employees. quite a dramatic move and there's been quite a negative reaction and response. may

a de blasio will impose a 1st in the nation vaccine mandate for all private sector workers in new york city . build up last year. isn't a mer he's a tyrant. just spoke to catherine wild, the president of a prominent n y c business group. we were blindsided, there is no full warning, no discussion, no idea about whether it's legal or who he expects to enforce it. new york city announces covey vaccine mandate for private businesses going when no city has gone before, because it's potentially unenforceable, and will probably get stuck in the courts until well off to the mer to parts. at the end of the year. now the new york city mayor expects that this will survive any legal challenges. we already saw a situation where for a moment jo biden's, federal mandate was put on hold by the courts. but then later upheld in the court of appeal. and bill de blasio expects the same exact expects that the courts will uphold this mandate and it will move ahead. now it's important to know the mandate

will go into effect on december 27th, which is the day. it's actually 4 days before bill de blasio is set to leave office and be replaced by new york city. mayoral elect, eric adams, the new mayor, will be coming in and replacing bill diblasio. 4 days after the mandate. now eric adams, the incoming mayor, who was elected in the vote a few months ago, says that he plans to meet with people who are critical of the mandate and listen to what they have to say. and if you taken notice of the tone in the city right now, and the anger that may prove to be a little bit more than he is bargaining for with ever more cases of sexual violence and female prisons being perpetrated by so 5 den to find trends women many questioning laws that allow them to choose the time of prison, they serve time and the women's liberation front is now suing the state of california. for one such law is lead to join dante, dusky taylor, to share some harrowing stories of women,

left in fear of rape. meet princess. so we andromeda love, formerly known as hobby bang. i'm an ex inmate at the washington correction center for women and one of 3 transgender prisoners who transferred that this here. but why are we talking about this individual. busy and not the thousands of others who've passed through the same doors. after being sentenced to prison after being found guilty of having had sexual relations with the 12 year old girl bingham decided to identify as a woman and be called andromeda love. in this way, he managed to be transferred to the correctional center for women in washington. once there, he was found by prison stuff along with his cell mate, an inmates with a developmental disability in a bed and without clothes for following this incident, prison all far tis determined that love had raped her vulnerable soul mate, who was already a victim of sexual assault even more troubling prison, self allegedly didn't find a report. and there are fears that similar incidents could still take place. a

former guard that shares these fairs, believing that a walk system is being taken advantage of by deceitful men. because whilst the states prison department says that his policy ensures call treatment and that there is a rigorous screening process, according to the person who's being on the inside, the reality is a little different. the only prerequisite is that the men must identify as female. they are required to hug reassignment surgery. don't need to be in the process of transitioning, nor do they have to be on a home or in regimen. the only requirement is that they must proclaim to identifies a woman fleming even claims that love got a show had caught and refer to, to identifying as male upon being released, and that of the transgender inmates at the same perhaps, on surprising than that, the policy of prisons in washington state has come on to scrutiny just as a has

a bit farther down the west coast in california. because that earlier this year, a law was passed, allowing and mates to choose housing based on that gender identity. now says that around $300.00 requests being made. oh, nice 6, so far have been denied numbers that have scanned some so much that are lawsuit has been filed, claiming that the bill unconstitutionally puts women at risk. so cynical exploitation of fundamental human rights with wild increasing you to guided over the issue i spoke to lauren adams, legal director of the women's liberation front, the organization behind that very little suit. the reason we have, you know, women only presents that we separate by sexes because men pose a danger to women. and there is no evidence that men who identify as transgender, regardless of what they've done to change to their bodies, that they've post less risk to women. i would imagine that in the course of your

walk and i know property preparing thought little suit as well. you have spoken to a number of female and mates, and i just want to get your kind of general reaction as to what it is that you're hearing from them. we're hearing that they're, they're scared and they feel humiliated. this feels like just adding insult to injury, it's also important to know that many of the men who are transferring over have female co defendants are ex partners where in the women's presence. so just in california there's, i know 2 women personally and there's a number of other women who i haven't spoken with who have their co defendants who have transferred over one of them. the man who transferred over killed her children and he has been put in her facility that she lives and have you had also a from anyone of cases where someone refer to twice dent flying as

a male off. they were released from prison because that seems to be, i was when i was doing research. but that did seem to be a concern among some, i don't know about after they've been released. but i do know after they've been transferred. there is at least 2 who are in there now, who after they were transferred, stop taking hormones. they had been taking hormones and stopped in california alone . and many of them have they, you know, dress more feminine or where their camera, feminine in the men's prison. and then when they arrive at the women's prison cut their hair, they start act, you know, acting like man is, is how it's been put to me. and, and it's, it's, it's very terrifying for the women who have to share space with them and have to sleep in a locked room with them. have to shower in front of them and use the toilet in front of them to feel unsafe and to be unsafe. in that way, the medical have that be more reports of sexual assault. has that been pregnancies?

for example, is contraception. now, 100 out. we know that they have been handing out condoms. they have changed their policy from as of when this was implemented so that other contraceptives such as birth control, hormonal birth control, and other things are available to the women inmates. which of course, is there, acknowledgement that these are men who are being transferred in there or else why would they need birth control? how's that being a case? female inmates feeling unsafe? will maybe they themselves have been a victim of something ton to the prison authorities for advice for help, and found that they didn't receive anything. going back to california too because that's the one i'm the state i'm work the most. and on this issue they, there was one woman who was sexually assaulted by one of the the the transferred inmates. and she immediately disclosed to staff like within,

within a few minutes of it happening. and they told her that if she wanted to be separated from him, that she needed to basically move herself to either go to administrative segregation which is essentially solitary. and then go to another prison. there was no chance that he would be removed from her space. and it wasn't until we got involved. and you know, she was able to get them to finally treat it as a prison ramp elimination act complaint where they take it a little bit more seriously. so until that happened, just so we don't know how many women have been dismissed like that. it's happening more and more and we get emails from people and calls from people all the time, letting us know that it's happening in the state or that state. and it's just happening quietly because people know that it's not a defensible thing to do. and so they don't talk about it, it's up to us to expose it. the high stakes talks between the russian and us

presidents are taking place later on tuesday of the ramp and speculation about the possible invasion. if you crane and increase nato activity in the black sea of their culture buttons, set the tone by saying that he will not accept any red lines from bloody and putin . it at the same time. the white house says it is not seeking. conflict correspondent hawkins. 44 in the morning tea. daniel, it's the usual scenario. america blames russia of aggression and russia blames america. is this what they're going to be discussing today? do you think will learn? the media will certainly watson very closely. the president said once in person that was back in june and someone in geneva system, they've had phone conversations, but this is the 1st time they're going to meet face to face if you will, if only online for quite some time. and since then really tensions. but they've been at a simmering low point and was a spiraling. well, it down was, while really the red lines is the buzzword or that they both saw using that term.

putting the, saying, the red line for moscow and from me will be the deployment of certain massage certain troops, biden, setting the phone for the spacing by saying he's going to go a lot and acts as he pleases up me. and the discussions, of course, is these unconfirmed accusations towards moscow of a massive military build up on the ukrainian only in border on russia's territory. but along the credit and border. and the threats, of course, of new sanctions against the russian government, including the so called nuclear option. that's the cutting off of russia from the swift international payment system. it's something that the us put on the table, this somewhat sort of left it there. now that is being discussed again now police

and spoke to individual prescott says some of the rhetoric coming from washington has been hostile and not constructive in the build up to this video conference just needed to which the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e u. leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion. at the same time, no one talks to key of non warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in the done yet. and lou guns, conflict, and given the complicates a background of us russian relations. it will be a difficult discussion for the leaders. the presidents obviously have the need to talk to each other, even in the most strained of moments when attitudes are not what i call rational or sober, but emotionally magnified. so as the escalation get stronger every day than the precedence. you obviously bear the responsibility, feel the need to discuss the issues the talk of speaking with you cry and the white house confirmed secretary blink. and we'll be speaking to president sky over ukraine. ahead all this me to get

a press briefing. interesting. you want now soul says that it's not seeking conflict with russia, but on the other hand is ready to quote, threats and consequences for harmful actions on russia side, whatever that may mean in europe. ping leaders have also chipped in and they cool in russia, not the deep from the craig and border crisis, submit this hype and speculation in the media of an impending invasion at the end of january. and indeed, ukraine's defense ministers also cooler countries, such as the us, you can kind of support the ukraine in the face of the sliced aggression in terms of sending troops to the country. not even supporting fighting troops called my troops to the front lines. moscow of course, views the situation very different and sees the aggression coming from different source mediums to natasha. and you must know. we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mr. stole some bugs. rhetoric, we see the different u. s. leaders. rhetoric 1st, they all say they don't take that any red lines. second,

they say that nato will do whatever. it's once that it will do it on whatever territory it wants forth. all of this is aimed to, to russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to insure our own interests and launching bars. now, linear, a very important statement was made in the ukraine. defense ministers interview 2 u. k. media. essentially call the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front line and puts out that to do that by bypassing nature. so, can you tell us how much of a breach is of the red line slot putin had defined? no, well, we have a similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military. they were ready to send the troops over. not only those in training, but those in combat units as well. this is something we are obviously very concerned about. this is something we do not like. and it forces us to take some

protective measures to defend our interests. with these sorts of interactions between the world leaders, leaders, the soup files. it's always hard to predict what the outcome is going to be. and i think this meeting really will be more of a setting of a tone of direction between presidents, joe, by them got to be a potent and really if the president failed to find some sort of consensus and touching points, this could lead to a round of tit for tat sanctions, unexposed tunes if they do find some talking points which they can reach a compromise on. we could see at the escalation, obviously most people hoping for the latter in this case. and either way, we'll be watching very closely to see what the outcome of this meeting will be taking place some time this evening. appreciate the update on hawkins with me. now on monday evenings president booth, he met with another another of his counterparts, namely india's prime minister. and the ranger modi. it was part of a russia india summer, taking place in new delhi. the meeting resulted in the whole raft of agreements

including on health care and the military wanted to respond to if a trinket falls. this report from india's capital to understand russia's international priorities, this time allowed to understand where moscow stand on the global chessboard. it just worth realizing what the russian president vladimir potent was up to. he went to new delhi and left the indian capital late in the night. in the meantime, in the west, mainly by nato countries. moscow is being accused of plotting some sort of invasion of ukraine calls are a very loud to once again isolate russia. now a while, all of this is happening. moscow wants to show that it's got friends in asia and it's ready to expand these kind of ties. in fact, a of latimer pollutant and a renter muddy are always calling each other friends and they've had this warm relationship for years now already. but of course, not only about did the personal friendship between the 2 leaders and

a joint statement that was already published on the kremlin website. there are $99.00 paragraphs outlining the things that either have already been done together or that will be done together in the near future. this shows how much data india and russia c i to why at this point and how they want to increase cooperation in so many fields ranging from science, nuclear cooperation, space exploration. but most importantly, a military ties as well. i can remind you that india is buying rushes arms. india is buying the most advanced missile defense system. russian made the as so $400.00 . russia is upgrading a nuclear power plant. here in this country, new delhi is ready to invest up to a $1000000000.00 in russia and, and russia's far east. in particular. this is, of course,

something that is raising quite a few eyebrows in the west. and if we're talking this crucial military operation, freight and arms and weapons, there's a special program that outlines plans for a 10 year period. the previous one has just expired. and i can tell you that moscow in india have signed a new one, which is going to be valid until 2031. and yes, india has agreed to assemble the famous russian collage duke of guns 2 escalade now to professor mod, haven't nala parties, director of the department of ju politics, not set monopole university in punjab. very good to have you on professor india sir . have a close ties with russia. it seems but good for those nations. is it a problem though that will bother washington? do you think? well, i'd like to see that being india believe that it just completely of destructive

for the united states and it's western allies to push you are to front strategy of in the midst of, let's face it, a new gold war between the united states and china, principally the earlier cold war between the united states of the u. s. r. u. s. a sort of long gone, but i'm afraid that maybe you know that some people still confused or modern russia with the ussr. the reality is, during much of that whole war, china was on the side of the u. s. against the u. s. a saw. it doesn't make sense to have a 2 front war and be in india, very clear on this. the u. s. is of valued security partner. we in the west are working together on a range of issues dealing with the indo pacific. but it makes absolutely no sense to have a 2nd run in this very clear core war that is now going on between the u. s.

and the u. s. lines and, and many friends of the us and china. i think it is a mistake. and i'm happy to see prime minister movie is very clear on that. and by welcoming president porter, who may say, is a grand master of geopolitical just well. he has demonstrated that india believes that it's absolute folly to have a 2nd from when you're fighting a cold war, an existence. so cold war, but the formidable over adversary. and you tenure defense, pat was signed war in reality. is that going to mean d? think full regional security? well, let's be honest. the russians have enough friends for about 60 years. in fact, the chinese are very upset when the russians became a very important military supplies of india, 960 and 1970. when frankly, i mean,

of course, they especially you, aside very soon afterwards against russia. but the reality is russia has always helped india pick the question of nuclear submarines. the americans were refusing to give nuclear summaries. well, russia stepped in, the russians have been extremely generous with their technology, including in the problems that we had on the northern border. that our defense minister alluded to without naming that country. i'm not going to need that country, but a particular country behave, you know, very unable to an aggressive manner. and we're happy to see that our russian friends in b is not in work understood that. so i would say it contributes to stability. and i'd again add russia is not an enemy of the western world. it is really never been, especially since the 1990 s and 2 considered an enemy is wrong. and i'm very glad

that my prime minister, not in the movie, does not make that similar mistake. he's not heading that down, but he's continuing on a part of about 70 years, which is of course, defense cooperation with russia. another element of the military cooperation, russia can continues to supply india with its s 400 missile system. and it's not a problem for america. i don't know, maybe america wants to, to sell its own weapon systems to wendy. but it's not a problem for america. well, in my view, in the architecture, the indoor pacific and a group of countries including the u. s. india, australia, japan, in european union, many countries have come together to ensure of 3 open and intrusive indo pacific. india is an essential part with just leads, you know, understand that the,

the don't what you're saying, asia pacific, that basically has a different country as the centerpiece and asia, the indoor pacific, as india, as a centerpiece. and india would be, i mean to be really, it would be very funny on the part of india to decline a methodology that could sit in the center piece and not any of the country in asia. so the end of it is very, very much rooted. now, it end in security consciousness. we want to re open it inclusive in your pacific and for that our american friends of a need to work with us. i don't personally believe that this particular transaction will affect that to us relationship, but may also add, you know, we had a very flourishing who people will treat you remember we, after the soviet union collapsed, we ensured that a very attractive, a very, very privacy.
