i thought with ah, the child lost by his parents during august, chaotic, us withdraw enough chemist on may have been fund ortiz, speaks to the family that took the boy in, joins this search for his parents. suddenly i saw this baby on the ground crying in pain. it was too hot, the baby was just wearing a shirt, so it was difficult for me to leave him. that incredible story. also in the u. k. video emerges of key members of forest johnson's team. joking about a party and joining street last christmas. but seeing as it supposedly took place amidst last year's colgate lockdown, few are finding it as restrictions start to again ramp up around the world in the face of the new army kron variant. we hear from the world health organization,

special envoy about whether there is cause for concern. i'm really hopeful that 1st of all, the act vaccines will work reasonably well. and secondly, that this doesn't prove to be a much nasty virus than the earliest readings. and she'll biden is accused by republicans officer rendering to vladimir putin by dropping russia punishments from a defense built as democrats draft. what they are labeling, the mother of old sanction targeting ah, around the clock across the world. this is our t from the team on myself. you know, really hello and welcome to the program. during last summer is u. s. troop withdrawal from afghanistan. many were moved by scenes of desperate parents passing

their babies to western soldiers to get them taken out of the country. one child was lost in the chaos. a couple report. no, there's a possibility that the baby boy may have been fond, nicky, or, and picks up the story. the hasty us decisions are poor trips out of afghanistan as a taliban gained a tight grip. so a wave of panic in the capitol as thousands desperately tried to flee. amongst the chaotic scenes that cobble airport were murdered our commodity, and his wife sariah and the 5 children and the pushing and shoving the parents fit that tiny baby would be crushed. and so i handed him to a us soldier who offered to help, but amid the crowds of people struggling to enter, it took them over 30 minutes to make it through. and once they did, the hail, the baby was nowhere to be found. the house parents who were now in the united states and still desperately trying to locate that son. and now comes a glimmer of hope all to you spoken to one of the gun family, the johns,

who say they found the baby amid them a hand cobble airport. he's been well taken care of the john family named him mohammed and say he's become one of their own. 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 a shirt. i was confused. 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 showed them the baby and ask them whether the baby belongs to them. then i asked speech 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 worried 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 taught 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 arc monte. while on the left is the child found and cared for by the john family. well, there are clearly similarities. here is yet to be established. if this is the same child, the afghan man who found the boy said he's now in touch with. the parents have been missing baby. literally, we kept the baby and contacted many people to find the parents. we contacted the

bbc and 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. and 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, asthma 100 are the same child. we go 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 re united 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 love him too much. he was about for today's 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. so if the parents of the child are unable to take him back, i am ready to keep this baby with me. in fact, i would not be happy to hand over the baby because we found him. so if they don't take him home, we will keep him with us. we love him here with our t where all how thing for a happy ending to the story. so we will keep you updated on our progress. the american journalists are being threatened with massive findings if they work for

the wrong publications to contributors to a site called the strategic culture foundation have received stern warnings from the us treasury department. this letter was sent to daniel lazar, michaela virchow, both based in new york. it sees the s, c, f, is on the list of bond organizations accused of election meddling, and that u. s. person to engage in transactions with the foundation are liable to fines of at least $311000.00. as part of the targeted sanctions campaign announced by the treasury secretary back in april. treasury will target russian leaders, officials intelligence services and their proxies that attempt to interfere in the us electro process or so bertie has democracy. this is the start of a new u. s. campaign against russian maligned behavior. the u. s. government claims that strategic culture foundation is controlled by russia's foreign intelligence agency,

the f b r, about it's also linked to the russian foreign ministry. although the s c f, the scribe itself, fencer research platform on your region, global offers. we've asked them for their response to the allegations and we've also reached out to the us treasury for comments. we'll let you know when we get a response or we can welcome live onto the program. not done. the lazara. daniel, as we mentioned, is one of the journalists contacted by the treasury. he joins us from new york. thanks for taking the time to speak to us on this. daniel, can you indeed tick us through? what happened? what was your reaction when you got that letter? well, i was surprised, i was taken aback. i was, you know, concerned certainly, but actually had stopped writing for the yes. since the previous, you know, 4 or 5 months earlier the, you have the website had got turned to conservative for my taste. so i decided try to write for other sites,

but i was also extremely angry because i think of the that the at the s c f, the foundation hosts honest journalism. even though i don't, i don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious. ready journalists and that as a supporter of a free speech in a free press, i believe that readers should have access to the discard of stuff and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close down and therefore trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official us policy, from reaching from reaching audiences including audiences in the us. and this strikes me is extremely dangerous. very bad policy. what's your, what's your thinking about the letter, the way it's worded, done? or do you think you're actually going to get fined for what you have written or was it just the warning of swords? it was a warning regarding future articles. so essentially, if i write for s t f,

i find gates in any kind of transaction, which i assume means a, an exchange of money i could be had with massive fines that were completely destroy my finances. so i can't do it. but as i said, i'd stopped writing for s c f months earlier, so i didn't feel personally threatened, but others who, who want to continue writing for s t f works dreamily frightened. i mean, no journalists, for the most part, or, you know, except for a few stars on cnn and the like, you know, most, most of them, a hand to mouth existence. they aren't wealthy. they have, you know, a small nest of savings, you know, and they, you know, in there and the bank, if they're lucky and their, their finances are my precarious. so if the government wanted to wipe them out, they could wipe them out in a flash. and this is extremely know, this is, this should be the shock to anybody who cares about free exchange of ideas and

a free press in terms of other contribution decide darneilia. we know that you've stopped writing for it, but maybe you've kept in touch with some people. you know what their sense of it is . do you think that they're going to stop writing working for the site on the message that might send them even thinking about doing that? yes. so as far as i'm aware, they have all stopped writing for the site because really there's just, it's, you know, it's impossible to, to battle the us treasury in this kind of case. the us treasury is power is, is, is enormous. and that of a, of an individual freelance journalist is microscopic but some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. so you know, so this is what it's shilling effect means they're, they're unwilling to write and they're unwilling even to talk about why they, why they're too afraid to write so. so this is a very, very dangerous turn. it just very dark, isn't it?

what are the broader implications then for journalism with this, if the government's threatening to financially ruined people, we are talking about $300000.00 plus fines for writing for the wrong websites, giving their view, sharing it as you say, people on the right people from the left together on that side. where could this lead? it's very dangerous, extremely dangerous. i mean, they get the government good target our team wants to. and in fact, you know, given the, given the, the, the, the build up military tensions in the, in the eastern or ukraine. i think that the, the, this provides a perfect perfect opportunity and model for going after r t as well. but it could be anything, could be the chinese, the chinese press. it could be the venezuelan, press, the cuban press, etc. any country that america doesn't like it can, the sensually penalize any journalist who dares right for their publications. and

that's an extremely dangerous thing. and forgive me, but you're a veteran in the game has been around the block a little while down you'll. you've seen quite a lot. and yet your 1st answer to my question was that this did surprise you. have you experience ever even not directly, but seen anything like this actually unfold as to where this could lead i have i have not, although certainly aware of the u. s. government has harassed rti and sputnik radio and then that his dad, i think it's very bad. but actually the stop journalist from writing for these kinds of websites is as a new step. and i think that and i was surprised because because the united states, in fact has a very good track record on when it comes to a free press. i mean, in america, we can say anything we want. yeah, i can write that with the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden and not have to worry for

a moment about the secret police crashing through my door. but now. 2 things may be changing slightly and it doesn't or go, well, danny, oh thank you for, for coming in the program. most you have done before and given us a succinct, really definition of how you're feeling out there. it's not a good turn, but we thank you very much for sharing exactly how you're feeling with those developments. journalists, daniela's are much appreciated. thank you. mounting outrage in the u. k. over i suppose. a dining street party last christmas during titan, pandemic restrictions has claimed us 1st scope. the prime minister's former press secretary has resigned after a video emerged showing her joking about the event suggesting it did up and far as johnson has ordered, unimed vested ation and face a grilling and parliament earlier. they knew there was a party. thank you. it was against the rules. they knew they couldn't admit it. i

thought it was funny. prime minister has been called right time to why definitely envy investigation right now. but just admitting it, i been repeatedly assured i probably can big news about that. but there is a risk of doing a great, a grave injustice to people who, frankly, obeying the rules pacifica, 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 bars johnston as he's now being accused of lying or even trying to cover up an alleged christmas party that happened last year. ever meant the kobe to restrictions now as you had that from the kid storm, at 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 wedding 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 went home is fictional policy was a business meeting. i mean it was not associated. now if a party did happen while session needed, cravett 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 tighter 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 house 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. don't treat willfully broke the rules at the moment, the sacrifices we have all made,

the prime minister has our duty, the all my right and moral choice left to him. it is for his resignation. countless children now growing up without parents while parties were held at number 10. it is an insult to everyone. he wasn't allowed to say that final. good bye. 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 without government scandal in the u. k. could potentially undermine plans for tough, new covey rules. the prime minister is nice, the so called plan b true to the new omicron variant,

including vaccine passports of public events and compulsory face months. we asked the world health organization, special envoy on cobra, for his perspective on the strain which has not been detected in $57.00 countries. people do not understand enough about this paris. nobody knows for sure how nasty ami crohn is, but there's information coming through that. it's, it's not too awful, 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 waiting 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 cronies. some companies saying their back scenes 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 what happened,

but privately inside my so just go, she was 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 nastier barris than the earliest drains. i've been involved in controlling disease outbreaks and pandemic 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 and 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 are 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. and this high right of, of cases is being driven by the susceptible. secondly, there does seem to be a capacity for the virus 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 staying the spikes, even though there's high vaccination. another aspect to this us vaccine producers in particular have enjoyed bumper prophets since the start of the pandemic. a trend that's accelerated since the army kron variant was detected, but the major players are still resisting calls from the world health organization

to share their secret formulas on boost global job optic. 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 and our vaccines for the entire world by the middle of next year. if you let the current industry are industry now, work hard 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 coven strain emerged in southern africa, the top 8 pfizer and madonna's shareholders sold their personal wealth skyrocket by $10000000000.00 in a week. the ceo of my journal was one of the biggest winners caching into the tune of $800000000.00. but despite huge, the lucrative vaccination campaigns in the west inoculation rates elsewhere in the world remain a base levels. and the w h o director general said 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 activism, group global justice. now nick, geared and questions, how companies can put profits before the health of millions in developing nations. when you're talking about life saving drugs, when you're talking about medicines, the people that are going to make a difference in pre life and death and i 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 fixing on track scenes that they're 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 vaccines and coming in at the world trade organization to prevent a way forward 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 with spreads only 3 percent of the population of racks. naked, wanting 10 health workers in the african countries continent. vaccinations simply can't be right. joe biden is being branded, spineless for not pushing forward with sanctions targeting rushes nor stream to gas pipeline to germany. the most vocal criticism coming from republican senator ted cruz. this calamitous foreign policy disaster is joe biden, salt. this is the direct consequence of joe biden,

surrendered of vladimir putin on north stream to the tirade occurred as the draft u. s. defense budget for 20. 22. moved off to the senate's, the number of anti russian measures were dropped in the house in its previous form . the bill included a bill of bomb, excuse me, on americans buying russian debt sanctions on nor stream to the senate will vote on the defense budget next week. or t america has been sworn, save the removal of sanctions from the bill indicates that the american president does not want them there. a 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 sanctions won't be there, which means that 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 the u. s. 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 things and 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 says we want to send oil in natural gas 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 us and finally backing away from this idea that they now recognize they can't stop it from happening. ben swung it follows the rushing on us leaders holding crisis talks of tensions over ukraine and nato expansion mind after

some initial pleasantries biden, apparently ramped up talk about sanctions against russia in the event of war. 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 are to kill my pen, can take us through the official us position and how the presidential meeting went down in 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 was laid 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 the added states from talking of these new sanctions, and it hasn't stop 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 and i was given conscience is threatened to say if you move into ukraine will hiring, you know, knowing that if it were russian was into your brain, the us there is, isn't much the him do besides high besides sanctions. but at the same time, i don't think that putting wants to move into ukraine. he is also, it is on and his own side, sending a message. there was an diplomatic agreement, that nature will not go farther east. and, and normally in foreign policy, diplomatic agreements are respected. and in these cases, several of the actors united states pretend, disagreement ever existed, which is my own research with europeans, every single european, actually from him. it was there. so at this point, put in does not trust the ward anymore. he wants legal commitment and and he's
