still dealing with that, the new german health minister car allowed to buy has been, will painting a pretty bleak picture about the immediate future. and he was looking at the number of infections of the ohm icon variant in the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive 5th wave of the virus on its way brushed the, i'm assuming there'll be a massive 5th wave. i mean, close concert with my colleagues from the u. k. both politically and scientifically . we were still coordinating just yesterday, my colleagues say that is what has been observed on the ground exceeds anything that has been observed in the entire pandemic. we have to prepare ourselves for a challenge that we have not faced yet in this form. while infection numbers have been dropping gradually in recent days and weeks here in germany, it isn't happening fast enough. according to the country, public health authority, the robert cock institute, in order to release the burden from intensive care beds and the availability of those intensive care beds. not just in germany,
12:04 pm
where there are problems on the horizons. a new action being taken in switzerland. they've brought in new measures which are designed in order to well get more people to get vaccinated. basically, if you haven't been vaccinated or can't prove that, you have recovered from covert it. within the last 6 months, you're going to be pretty much barred from, from everywhere in switzerland, from here on out what we're seeing as you going to need to provide the proof of one of those 2 things to get into sports stadiums. cultural events and leisure facilities, also restaurants as well. it comes after the intensive care unit bed space, l. the capacity for that bed space in switzerland, past 82 percent this week. so the country deciding to take a emergency measures they're in denmark, they've also implemented new measures. they are going to be closing theaters and sinners because of arise of covert cases there in france. they've done is they've basically cut off all non essential travel between france and the united kingdom
12:05 pm
because of the, the she had number of cases, tens and tens of thousands. huge amounts of covert case has been recorded in the united kingdom, france deciding they will want a few people as possible traveling between the 2 countries. it's also prompted action and a new level member states and their leaders saying that they wanted to see more vaccines that are specifically tailored to taco, the oma kron variance of cove. at 19. in fact, the orders are all ready to go in for a 180000000 doses of coven vaccines that would target, specifically the, the oem, across very intuitive world, the subject of vaccines. there's been a massive push here in germany to get people to come forward. for booster jobs, in fact, 1500000 people were vaccinated here in germany on wednesday alone, 1300000 of those were booster vaccines. but the problem is, there's not enough vaccines here in germany right now in order to keep up that type
12:06 pm
of pace and it's not type of pace that the, the new health minister wants to see happening. so what germany is looking to do is to buy vaccines that are being used in countries like poland, bulgaria, and romania vaccines that may well see this, they use by dates expire in the near future, germany say, and they'll take them off their hands in order to try and get enough jobs in the facilities in order to put them into people's arms. are we spoke with w representative, margaret harris. she thinks the i'm a chrome strain. mike's vaccinations more important than ever. the really big difference between i'm a coin on the of the variance is it's the aid of spread. we are very concerned that there will be a lot of people who become severely ill and end up in hospital people who had previously been infected with other forms of the of the sas. coby, too,
12:07 pm
virus were re infected with army front. so we can see that only kron can infect people, whether or not they have had a previous infection, and it can infect people who have been vaccinated. but the critical thing is, we are also saying that people who've been vaccinated ah, being protected from having the severe form from di, ending as pandemic is in all our hands at every level of society, every country, if we all do all the things we need to do we can in this pandemic? so what am i talking about? we only to get vaccinated, we only to help people around the world get vaccinated. we all need to take seriously the measures to prevent the violins from spreading a person to person until we vaccinate promptly around the world. we are making it possible for new versions to new variance to arise. u.

of people. local sheriff, describe the situation as chaos mccaleb and explains how it's got to this point. arizona mexico border is buzzing with activity. 3000 migrants crossed just this weekend and the local sheriff says they are in a hurry. there were a lot of people who were planning to come here. but because of the new law, they decided to call us when a spot to go. now the widening administration recently reinstated the trump administration's policy of having asylum seekers remain in mexico waiting in mexico while their claims are considered. now the sheriff thinks that the administration's actions are fueling the crisis. we told us administration, if they decided to in phoebe, it was going to cause these problems. and obviously the ancillary impacts in the upper in our back yard. so we end up with the desk in the desert to the robberies
12:13 pm
that are happening along the order of the pursuit. then lea ancillary criminal activity like large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country. from mexico all are occurring in every order county along the southwestern board. now the local mayor has declared a state of emergency. he's calling on federal officials for help. a 110 agents from the department of homeland security have already been re committed. however, local officials are slamming biden for not doing enough. yuma is facing an escalating humanitarian and bode a crisis, and it's a direct result of the biden administration's pull communication, lack of organization and complete disregard for border protection. but arizona is not alone. florida is also dealing with the migration wave. so the border is obviously a disaster. well, actually the bite administration puts people on planes and flies them into florida in the wee hours of the morning. so they've done over 70 flights. in the last 6

months out. com, a harris who was vice president and just recently named as border czar by joe biden . doesn't seem to really be on the case. the guam and head of state says he hasn't heard from her since june, despite whitehouse reassurances. why is it that she has not spoken to the president of guatemala since you 6 months? i knew that i could see this kind of strange report from the president of guatemala, saying that he has had no contact with the white house, which is inaccurate. other than you're meeting with harris in june, this is the only one. this is the only communication you've had with the biden administration concerning a legal immigration. yet pamela harris is currently touting her program with private companies to bring foreign investment to central america and stop the migrant flow. but how much a trickle of funds from pepsi, cargill and mastercard will actually do, remains unclear. meanwhile, 50000 juveniles seeking asylum had disappeared. according to the country's top
12:15 pm
migration tracker, when compared case by case record by reco. with the previous months data doug truck received, we find that rick was disappear without explanation truck as repeatedly reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review. the d. o. j agency, the overseas us immigration cases, but has not received any satisfactory explanation. a number of these asylum cases continued to disappear each month. researchers say the u. s. department of justice is making it more difficult to track a juvenile migrant cases, providing information that is not useful or precise, but one sheriff will not keep silent. they've already got what, over 147000 juveniles their own a company on the they need to change their messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to do individuals money because they were separated at the border, that's just a draw for the cartels and for the criminal wilma to exploit. so now that's why we
12:16 pm
see a number of juveniles come across 1st. and then the parents come late, which as they know that bill it will be reunited. so it's all play on the rules of dis, administration was put into place. the migrant crisis has hung over the biden administration from the beginning. many wonder if there are any real solutions in the works, not just reassuring words. caleb bobbin r t new york stilted him electricity cost saw across europe all to france shuts down for nuclear reactors. while russia looks east off to being snobbish while to you over energy as story unvil off the break what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even
12:17 pm
foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk to others, driven by dream shaped bankers. and those with there's sinks, we dare to ask oh
12:18 pm
oh, well come back, our brand new german says the channel r t d e has been accused of not having the necessary documentation to board cost in germany or the management has responded saying its license was obtained in accordance with all european laws and regulations. now let's bring in some context . first of all, here the news channel was taken off youtube. the very day it was launched on thursday. and technically there's no connection between that and german t v broadcast dispute. but as you can see, it's been a rocky star for our tv. an official for the european media watchdog had some ominous words for the news channel. the license must be issued in germany and the application must also be filed to 1st of all, this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it. he called the r t d essentially
12:19 pm
a peskin and little nuisance. that is going to be taken care of. so that is some interesting language there, right off the bat. but the, the crux of the issue is that in his view, we are have no business broadcasting in germany. he is claiming, ah, incorrectly, that the news channel is actually based in berlin, when in fact, it is based in moscow, quite literally down the hall from, from the studio. and the news programs are coming out here being filmed here, edited put on the air. and so forth. and they are doing that via license or through another country to serbia through another european license and are in full right to broadcast across all of europe, including in germany. our license was obtained under what is known as the european
12:20 pm
convention on trans frontier tra, trans frontier television, which i, under that convention gives us the right to broadcast to $33.00 countries across europe as long as you broadcast for moscow. and those countries include germany. but they also include other countries with majority or significant german language populations, such as austria, switzerland, luxembourg, and so forth. this is where the separation is really important. the legal action is being launched against our tv production, which makes some makes some of the shows r t d e productions does not need a license, because our d d production is not a channel. it channel is our tv that is coming out of here. and thus moscow, our headquarters, our parent company applied for a i'd for the, for that license, i'm sorry ma'am. the amount of pressure that i, our new german channel has faced even before it went on the air,
12:21 pm
difficulties with bank side difficulties, not just with licensing, but you know, the pressure on, on our gas and so forth, has been really unprecedented air pressure. again, as i mentioned, the beginning on our digital platforms, we are ready to keep our ticket fighting and we spoke about it with veterans. you beautiful. have jim, laura, he explained why some western powers v will t as an irritant. you can't separate what's happening with our tea, chinese television, with other broadcasters, from the political situation, poor relations between germany and russia, right now, the poor relations between united states and russia right now, the poor relations between states and china. all of this is linked. you have a situation where western nations united states, in particular on by the u. k. and now followed by germany, it appears simply do not have the wherewithal,
12:22 pm
the desire to welcome state control news channels into their country. in my view, it's purely political. there is a sense, so i can only speak here in american rich net, where our tea has been sanctioned. in the past, by being labeled as something a part of the foreign agent regulation act with 1938, you have the same application to chinese television. you have a situation where the nations that would not have good relations with united states or germany get penalized. so you have a situation where these international channels will come in broiled in the international politics of the day. the year of his facing headaches with its energy costs including soaring electricity bills, which shut up even further. this week. salter, frances biggest power for water shut down for its nuclear reactors. india says it's down to technical false research. discuss
12:23 pm
a situation with our correspondent southgate. while europe's energy crisis might be a hot topic besides me, it does look like it's going to be a cold winter on the continent. because while gas prices have spike, the gas itself is running low and i'm talking dangerously record lows. in fact, your pink gas stores supplies haven't been this spot in a decade, on average, across the blog, or any 74 percent full. that's down from 94 percent last year, and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest pulse of winter is still ahead, the relatively low gas results should be used carefully. if we keep withdrawing gas at the current rate, the level will be very low by february. so no buffer, no real resolved, that anyone can sort of depend 2 and these really tight times and things do seem to be going from bad to worse, because state owned an extra step to france or e t f announce that it will be shutting down 2 of its nuclear reactors because of safety reasons. some pipes are power and you need repairing on top of that and not the to have pools, walk pending inspections. this is bad news,
12:24 pm
of course not just the fronts he's electricity is most kate and you can generate to this, not just bad news for the nations of exports to, for example, the u. k. but it's also a very nerve wracking for the mall kits which have already been on a total road coast right over the last couple of months. but of course, who was taken the biggest hit full people. i mean, i was absolutely shock to read that europeans were pay 900 percent more for natural gas in january 2022 than they did in january 2021. so i really think looking at this picture now, it's not an exaggeration to say, it's a pretty di situation. a lot of this russian gas that goes into europe. it hasn't, they didn't fill up their coffers during last summer. so they were, as you were saying that the gas levels were low, prices have gone up, but russia is the one who's apparently taken the blame and, and certainly the u. k. media and the top lloyd's in the european media. they've been having russia for these high prizes. it is a big supplier of gus to europe. and how is moscow reacting to all of this? what you are right around 30 percent of europe,
12:25 pm
natural gas that comes from russia. so you'd think that given how desperate the situation is that brussels would know what side its bread is buttered on. but what does the you do? having failed to come to an agreement on how to handle and move forward in this ongoing crisis an hour long summit. it basically turns round and accuses moscow of using gas as a political weapon. so of course, we know if we could have someone else to blame, the thing is, is russia is fulfilling its contract. and the problem is, is it is unwilling to time to tap on to overflow. market says look, we've got our own lo shortages on top of that semester demand commitment is incredibly high because you and i very well know the winter here is very cold, we really can't give you any more. so what is looking how the situation unfolds? people, so thinking generally about how fluffy brussels and seen to russia in recent times in the think, you know what, it wouldn't be a bad time to join us to file market and to look to cooperate with perhaps move
12:26 pm
from the nations. so to that end, a new pipeline is actually on the called you, but i mean in practical times, it's a project for gas pipeline, from russia to china and via mongolia. the work is progressing successfully. it could become a continuation of the russian power siberia to pipeline, and should be optimal route and length of already been determined. a feasibility study is being prepared and i think it will be ready in the coming weeks. so construction not could thought as early as 2024. in the meantime, what's happening? europe crisis was in the global markets bracing itself. meanwhile, nord stream to pipeline, which is ready to go and could significantly of course alleviate to use energy crisis is lying idle, mired in political games. and of course, who's paying the highest price quite a tree, in this case, european systems. unless an economist for homeless says russia shift to the east makes sense. this energy price crisis may prevail
12:27 pm
longer if we can make geo politics an issue of these energy themes. we're living in europe together with russia, and i think it is high time to return to serious diplomatic approaches rather than have a megaphone diplomacy, which rather feeds escalation. i think there has been a shift of interest given the fact that the euro asian area is growing fast. and that the interest over there in net gas and fossil fuels from russia has increased. and thus, if europe doesn't play a long, and i think, i think the likelihood of russia turning more and more towards the east is extremely high. and it would put a risk on energy safety and the route european union looking for it
12:28 pm
at least 3 people have died off for section of a bridge kidnapped in china as who by province in s dash can video. you can see the structure along its side over an express way, at least for the people were injured in the collapse which happened just a few hours ago. because it is asked that has not yet been identified. an investigation is on the way up neck started. commentary examines the science of doubt. sorting fact from fiction used in marketing techniques, lobbying and public debate. you gave you is it's boom bust. we're back in half an hour with what happened? i make no said, you know, borders a tease as
12:29 pm
a merge. we don't have authority, we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. oh, my view more broadly, is that genocide has taken place. far more than anyone acknowledges. right. it takes place frequently. it has taken place in virtually every country in
12:30 pm
the world. so why does it come to be called in? well, there's political will put it on mobilization if you remember, wanda, nobody initially wanted to name or may knew it just i was saying place nobody wanted to call it that. eventually that label came to take place, but not at the time when events were unfolding. association is if you say it's genocide, is suggest that you need to do something ah, oil and gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom transportation, all of them now have io t type of infrastructure connected to the internet for clarity, realizing there's disruptive potential for that. those countries can't ignore it because it threatens national security issue. but if we take.
