a glimmer of hope all to you spoken to one of the gun family, the johns, who say they found the baby amid the may have cobble airport. he's been well taken care of the john family named him mohammed and say he's become one of their own mom . i love my brother mohammed. he's too important to me and will never hand him over to anyone. my to show it was late at night when my brother asked me to help him drive to the airport when he was leaving for the us. when we were there, there was a big crowd and chaos. everyone was pushing to get inside the airport. suddenly i saw this baby on the ground crying in pain. it was too hot and the baby was just wearing shirts. i was confused and it was difficult for me to leave him there. he was dying. so i decided to pick him up. when i moved to each family i saw in the airport and shows them the baby and ask them whether the baby belongs to them. then i asked peach mother there to feed him because he was hungry, but no one agreed. his condition was deteriorating,

so i took him to some water and put it on his body, washed him and changed his nappy. i waited until 4 pm to find his parents, but couldn't. i had just one bottle of water and i gave him a few drops when he was crying because he was hungry. i was because his condition was not good. it was too hot and he was lying under the scorching heat of the sun. then i contacted my wife and told her that my brother had already left, but i'm still stuck here because of a baby. i told her we are humans and i can't leave this baby alone here while his parents are missing. i also told my brother to leave, but i had to stay until i found the missing parents. let's take a look at these 2 pictures on the right is the missing boys, the hail our commodity. while on the left is the child found and cared for by the john family while there are clearly similarities. here is yet to be established. if this is the same child, the afghan man who found the boy saith, he's now in touch with the parents of been missing baby. intellectually,

we kept the baby and contacted many people to find the parents. we contacted the b, b, c in many others, but failed to find them, then we uploaded his pictures on social media sites like facebook later. some relatives of a missing baby in barrack sean province contacted us and told us that the parents of the baby are looking for their child. when they saw the images, they recognize him, but they didn't know the whereabouts of the parents. finally i found the contact details of the father of this baby i called and told him about his missing baby and asked him to send me the pictures of his child. so i could verify that he was the real father. then he sent me the pictures and we confirmed your son is with us, don't worry. his father was so happy to learn about his missing son. we would love to see the hell reunited with his parents, that they were still trying to establish whether the hail and manic are the same child. we've got to work on this. we've been in touch with both families, the new york post. reuters the u. s. state department and the afghan refugee relief

the john family say say they're eager to see the child reunited with his family, although they are also happy to provide a loving home themselves. i looked up to him like my own baby. if we found his parents, we would not be able to keep you with us. of course, we would hand him over to his real parents. i looked up to him like he was one of my own. i have 3 daughters, but i loved him too much. he was about 4 to days only when we met him. we have seen difficult times with him. he's our soul and we love him too much. if his parents identify him, we will have no option but to hand him over to them. well that, so if the parents of the child are unable to take him back, i'm ready to keep this baby with me laid up. in fact, i would not be happy to hand over the baby because we found him there. so if they don't take him on that, we will keep him with us. we love him during the day with our t where all hi thing for a happy ending to this story. say we will keep you updated on our progress. no

mounting, i trade in the u. k. over a suppose a dining street party last christmas during tightened. pandemic restrictions has claimed its 1st go. the prime minister's former press secretary has resigned after a video emerged showing her joking about the events suggesting it did happen. boris johnson has ordered on investigation on face the grilling in parliament earlier from white rage. politicians. they knew there was a party. thank you. it was against the rules. they knew they couldn't admit it, and they thought it was funny. a prime minister has been called right time to why definitely envy investigation right now. but just admitting it. i been repeatedly assured, oh i understand. i probably think big news of the back is there is a risk of doing a great, a grave injustice to people who, frankly, obeying the rules, which was because the prime minister, the government, spent the week telling the british public there was no party. all guidance was

followed completely. millions of people now think the prime minister was taking them for fools or many say this could be the final nail in the coffin for forest johnson as he's now being accused of lying or even trying to cover up an alleged christmas party that happened nasty, ever met the kobe to restrictions now as you had that from the kissed arm of the leader of the opposition, he says the tory party have been caught red handed as multiple sources. confirm that this party did indeed happen, boris johnson. he insist that he's been assured that it didn't take place, but if you look into the wording of forest johnson, he didn't flat out, deny it either. now all of this comes off to number 10. officials were caught joking about this, so called potty or as they phrased it, this wine and cheese business meeting has the i t v exclusive video and she recognizes i'm at home is fictional policy, was

a business meeting. i mean it was not associated. now if a party did happen while certainly covet rules were broken because at that time, london was in tier 3 of the private restrictions, meaning no indoor mixing. of other households was allowed at the time. not to mention the day off to this party, christmas was cancelled, and types of restrictions were then announced. now things have really escalated throughout the day to day. in fact, the police are even considering launching an investigation into this matter. boris johnson says he will assist with any probe that might potentially happen. but of course, this isn't the 1st time the tory party have been embroiled in such rule breaking soccer. if we look back to the height of the pandemic, dominic cummings, the prime minister's, former chief, 8. well, he travelled 270 miles from london to durham to visit barnard castle. then of

course, mat hancock, the former, how secretary he was seen, intimately embracing a colleague, both of which have been rule breaking. and that's really the problem. that's why, as so many people are angry that those people that are making the rules think it's okay to simply break them. while the political opposition, the house of commons, they say they simply can't go on. and the prime minister's time is up downing street willfully broke the rules and the more the sacrifices we have all made, the prime minister has our duty, the all my right and moral choice left to him and his for his resignation. countless children now growing up without parents while parties were held at number 10. it is an insult for everyone. he wasn't allowed to say that final goodbye. my question is very simple. how does the prime minister

sleep at night? well, the reality has many people were an absolutely heart wrenching position last year. people that couldn't go and visit their dying parents simply because they wanted to stick to the rules. in the meantime, the tories were allegedly out partying. former british home office minister norman baker, fears the case could see the public question, why they should do anything further. the government tells them was a party by that, but the rules were broken. so i think he's lost all credibility. i think frankly has become a liability not to this country but to the conservative party as well. i think he's doing policy depending on him being given the line to current to the media, only defined the level, the garden by the prime minister. so the primary doesn't happen over bogging comfortable truths. he wants to be loved. he wants to be like to prove

a premises down the delivers. and there is a smell of arrogance about this government. so they can do what they want to hand down the load to other people. and if we are going to apply and be coming forward, but this wouldn't look increasingly likely, even today, the people around the country going to say, why should i bother pulling the rules with a private doesn't. so the consequences for public health, potentially serious as well. the omi crohn coven strain has not been detected in 57 countries, according to the world health organization. so far, no deaths have been linked to the new mutation, but nevertheless, is causing global panic. we also w h o special envoy on colbert, 1900 for his perspective. people do not understand enough about this paris. nobody knows for sure how nasty or micron is,

but there's information coming through that it's, it's not too awful. ready and this is good, but it takes time to sort these things out and we're in a kind of odds on stage at the moment where we're breaking for the results of the research. what i want to say is everybody keep doing the stuff that you know what to do, even if you're bored a bit. and sooner or later we'll find out how bad only kron is. some companies saying they're back, things will work other saying they going to need a booster for them to be effective. all this will come clear, it usually takes about 4 weeks and i anticipate that will happen, but privately inside my. so just because you asked me, i'm really hopeful that 1st of all, the acts vaccines will work reasonably well. and secondly, that this doesn't prove to be a much nasty virus than the earliest trains. i've been involved in controlling disease outbreaks and panics. since 2005, that's quite

a few years. the one thing i've learned try never to force people to do things through various incentives like fines or even nastier things. mandates are a last resort. the use of vaccines in children is because they did thought that vaccination will help to reduce circulation of the barrison children. but right now the world health organization sticks with its recommendation that vaccines should be used for people who were at risk of severe illness and death. there are still an awful lot of susceptible people around even when you've got 70 percent vaccination coverage than this. ah hi, right of of cases you being driven by the suspect to bose. secondly, there does seem to be a capacity for the borrower to re infect people,

especially if it is some months since they either had their previous infection or had their immunization, the protection doesn't last for life, it wears off. so that's, i think, the reason why we're doing the spikes, even though it's high vaccination, no us vaccine producers have enjoyed bumper profit since the start of the pandemic . a trend that's accelerated since the all me crohn very and was detected. but the major players are still resisting kohls from the world health organization to share their secret formulas on boost global access. the wave of proposal is based on the incorrect notion that vaccine access is limited due to current levels of manufacturing. the industry is already well on its way to produce enough vaccines for the entire world by the middle of next year. if you let the current industry are industry now, what caught and do what they need to do? i think that it will be sufficient. it will take different companies so much longer

. after the new cobit strain emerged in southern africa, its op 8, pfizer, on my journey shareholders saw their personal wealth skyrocket by $10000000000.00. in a week, the ceo of maternal was one of the biggest winners caching into the chin of $800000000.00. but despite hugely lucrative vaccination campaigns in the west inoculation rates elsewhere in the world remain low. and the w h o s. director general says that needs to change low and low and middle income countries are not the 2nd or 3rd priority. the health workers, older people and other at risk groups have the same right to be protected. i will not stay silent when the companies and countries that control the global supply of vaccines think the world's poor, should be satisfied with leftovers, the director of online newsletter, global justice. now, nick didn't question so companies can put profits before the health of millions in

developing countries. when you're talking about life saving drugs, when you're talking about met a piece of people that are going to make a difference between life and death and going to prevent enormous suffering. and i don't personally believe that they should be business opportunities, but sadly, what we've seen is the richest countries on earth and sticking on frank things that they never going to need with no plan to even donate them. meanwhile, blocking the ability of other countries to set up and protect their manufacturing bases. so they may be able to make that road vaccine and coming in at the world trade organization to prevent a way for intellectual property here in my country, refaxed and coming up to 70 percent of the population. in parts of the african continent. you know that the figure is as low as 3 percent. i mean some of the countries in southern africa where it's the leaf the on the chrome and merged and was approach any 3 percent of the population. a vaccinated one in 10 health workers in the african country, continents, a vaccination,

and simply can't be right. it's a remote russian village, buried deep within the dense forests of the year old. but every year, more than a $100000.00 tourists make the arduous trek there. why the answer lies in the mysterious mix of strange powers, abnormal activities and cleans of u. f. o landings are t. constantine rush cough went to see for himself. you can couches travel. logan full on are you chip john? what we're doing here is we're looking for glowing balls in this forest because we are in the my look anomaly zone. go for an alien, han deep in a rush and forth. it's pitch dark. in the middle of the woods, goose bombed, guaranteed, oh, pretty heavy. he's looking for rob brown with

a indeed shaw the light that i need, shining shimmering balls and the which are numerous reports of mysterious fine objects of different sizes and forms rolling balls and human shape figures are used to be a bag and alter and iron mail a good law can and now is just an unassuming russian village in the middle of nowhere. and that still keeps fascinating. people from across the world. i can confirm our correspondent made it i it's on the scale on our website also has plenty of other stories, including the u. s. government's counting the profits from the sale of over a 1000000 barrels of iranian petrol products which had been confiscated by the american navy in the arabian sea. but was the seizure on sale legal? read all about it, sell our teeth, don't ah,

now it shows the wrong one. i just don't hold any world yet to shape out the same because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, blue with

so i thought, oh, hello again. joe biden is being branded, spineless for not pushing forward with sanctions targeting rushes north stream to gas pipeline to germany. the most vocal of criticism coming from republican senator ted cruz. this calamitous foreign policy disaster is jo biden's fault. this is the direct consequence of joe biden, surrendered of latter mere potent on nord stream. to the tirade occurred on the draft u. s. defense budget for 2022 moved up to the senate. a number of anti russian measures

were dropped in the house in its previous form. the bill included a ban on americans buying russian debts and sanctions on nord stream to the senate will vote on the defense budget. next week. our t america has been swan say the removal of sanctions from the bill indicates that the american president doesn't want them there. the fairly big deal, consider the fact that obviously when the house version was written, as you mentioned, these sanctions were included, the senate version, they're not included, that's something called reconciliation. where essentially the bill has to match. and so it looks like those stations won't be there, which means the biden administration is actually cutting ties with a lot of the rhetoric of the democratic party right now in the u. s. which is insistent upon having these kinds of sanction built into these us defense spending bills. and it's pretty significant for a couple of reasons. one is because the president himself has been indicating for some time that he does not want to continue to push forward on the sanction, specifically over north stream too, because of pressure he's getting from germany,

the germans don't like this idea. remember, this is not a unilateral measure on the russian part. russia and germany together are saying we want the pipeline russia as we want to send boil and natural gas that pipeline germany says we desperately need oil and natural gas pipeline. but it does as you know, all go back to this issue of ukraine. the idea is that by russia bypass the ukraine, that somehow this will be harmful to ukraine, or they'll be able to have greater leverage over ukraine. and so the rhetoric doesn't necessarily match the reality, and again, you have to sovereign nation insisting that this is something they both want and both need. and i think the u. s. and finally, backing away from this idea that they now recognize they can't stop it from happening. well, it follows the russian and us leaders shouldering crisis talks of tensions over ukraine, a nato expansion mind after some initial pleasantries biden, apparently ramped up talk about sanctions against russia in the event of war. and since tuesday meeting us officials have seemingly been proposing any ideas on that

which come to mind. i would not rule out american troops on the ground. we don't do, you know, we don't rule out. first use nuclear action. big words, there. ortiz kill, if nothing can take us through the official us position on how the presidential meeting went on stateside. here is what we heard from the biden administration. they talked about how biden raised concerns about the build up of russian forces near the border with ukraine and from there, talked about how the united states and its allies would respond with decisive economic and other measures if there was a military escalation. now biden called on to de escalate and to return to diplomacy. and he instructed the respective teams to continue dialogue on ukraine the same time we did hear from the national security advisor, jake sullivan. we still do not believe the president putin has made a decision. what present inviting did today with lay out very clearly the

consequences if he chooses to move that, you know, seems to fly in the face of some remarks that we've heard from other us officials. there are new sanctions to be imposed on russia that are currently in the work. these are not run of the mill sanctions. what is being discussed is at the maximum end of the spectrum, or as i have call that the mother of all sanctions. so there seemed to be a desire on everyone's part for today's meeting to result in a de escalation. however, this hasn't stopped united states from talking of these new sanctions, and it hasn't stopped us media from playing up. this idea that there is somehow a russian threat or russian aggression. so quite an interesting day, i were waiting for more information from both sides about what went on in the meeting between the 2 leaders. the france giving conscience is threatened to say if you move into ukraine will hire, you know, knowing that if they move russia was into your crane. the us, there is,

isn't much the him do besides high reside sanctions. but at the same time, i don't think that putting wants to move into ukraine. he's also, it is on his own side to sending a message. there was an diplomatic agreement that nature will not go harder east. and normally in foreign policy, diplomatic agreements are respected and in this case a separate a little bit after i did stage pretend disagreements ever existed, which in my own research with europe, ian, every single european actually was there. so at this point, put in does not trust the ward anymore. i. he wants illegal commitment and, and he's right in asking it to be very frank kennedy has become the latest country to join a diplomatic boy culture of the upcoming winter olympics in beijing over alleged human rights concerns the u. k. nines,

the similar move earlier in the day. although prime minister bars johnson appeared reluctant to support the idea that will be effectively a diplomatic boy because of the that will be diplomatic because of the, of the winter, the big invasions name it is respected to attend. i do not think that supporting boy talks, all sensible, not remains the policy of the government. several other nations are considering keeping their officials away from china during the february games while still sending their sports things. the vice president of the european parliament said he's in favor. the u. s. on the street, they started off the trend highlighting chinese legend treatment of the weaker muslim minority. but the st. lympics chief has distance himself from the campaign saying it's got nothing to do with the athletes. the diplomatic boycott is a met if a government, since the united states government got over governance around the world, considering a different medic boycott. that is, that is where the ambassadors and ministers of the country don't attend the game.

it's entirely up to the government and not a metal for us, as we are politically neutral and it's about the athletes. and the same for the i say we spoke with benjamin show an asian for his expert. he sees the olympic diplomatic boy cut as a few tile gesture by then, indecision is running out of options. the trying to get a hold of any single opportunity to embarrass china since 2008, the relationship between the us and china has worse and. and you have seen china as a competitor. now that you're seeing that china is able to rise to power peacefully and in many areas compete had to had with the states. so this might be something that us is currently worrying about the idea of politicizing sports unwelcoming for

many countries. and it's indeed, strictly for peter in olympic charter. lost her lot for now, but don't miss any mid week updates this wednesday by giving her a twitter page a follow developments by the minute quite literally either goodbye. ah i ah, what is the national mood? i suppose it depends on what kind of media you consume to say the nation is divided in highly partisan is an understatement. this is certainly what the national media wants us to think. what are we really so divided on what really matters

a video almost pretty much be with can sure to coordinate a video like you to form a . but what i want to talk to my media isn't that jim, you to waste figured out those very much. not a lot of them with .
