travel chaos. this person is a huge cove with sees airlines canceling flights, leading people stranded at the airport. also, billionaire entrepreneur must takes a swipe at cnn, saying he's not perverted enough to appear on the channel, which has been hit by slew section scandals and will be speaking with award winning serbian filmmaker. any stories are about media, freedom and germany is decision to block our fist. the channel are to suffer because you're going to polish really don't want to shut you down. are those will know that they bother her through to be available around the world. ah, beginning to look a lot like christmas. very good morning. thanks for joining me here. this saturday

i r t international the united states is facing a fresh onslaught of daily on the chrome cases across the country. they're up 55 percent while in new york, texas in new jersey. they've more than doubled and in florida they've jumped 7 fold . on tuesday, jo barton promised half a 1000000000 free tests for americans. they also place to open new testing sites. but me, the reports are saying that the white house hasn't yet actually signed any new contract for such job deliveries, leaving it unclear how they'll be made available. and 13 testing clinics in new york in new jersey recently had to close because of a lack of staff. the lines are growing here in new york city, and so is the frustration. 13 different coven testing centers throughout the city, close down to day. all while demand for tests is rising amid and increasing infection rate. we spoke to some people who were waiting to get coven tests here in

manhattan. that is a horrible, honestly you see how many people are on this line right here. and most of my friends have to wait on line for hours and hours to get tested. i've had to wait on the line for hours to get tested, so it makes no sense to be. that's not good. probably why i'm standing a line in the 26th degree weather the end of the day. it's the holidays. we have a search, we have to be vigilant, active, and we do need more testing centers. i mean, look at these lines. there's a 100 people on this line. i think it's making the lines really long. i think a lot of people need to get tested sidenote, they're safe. it becomes a whole drama amongst friends and family. i live with roommates. they need to know . i live in the same room with them, and you know i'm doing this, i'm getting testing. now keep in mind, we're seeing a rapid rise in the infection rate throughout new york city. keep in mind the entire cities, coven, 19 infection rate, for the month of november, was only $35800.00. so quite a spike in coven, 19 positive tests. now we're here in

a situation where people are seeing this as joe biden, not keeping his promises. just recently, he was promising more. coven tests would be available. dr. found she the u. s. government health officials and joe biden is saying that if you're not vaccinated, you shouldn't be seeing your family for the holiday season. i worry so much about people who still to this point, refuse to get vaccinated. the virus is going to find you, please get vaccinated. all these people who have not been vaccinated, you have an obligation to yourself, to your family, and quite frankly, i know you criticize this to your country, get faxes it now it's free. it's convenient. i promise you, which saves lives. i honest to god, leave it your patriarchal duty. really big long lines here. anger is rising, frustration is rising. people are angry at the mayor. people are angry at the governor and the new york state government, but people are also angry at the white house. caleb mop and archie, new york. chaotic queues haven't just been seen at covey testing stations,

but it airports. course the world to millions of people are currently facing christmas trembled disruption because of mass fly, cancellations. globally, more than 2000 planes have been grounded in just the last 24 hours. reasons, including covey outbreaks, among cabin crews and new cross border safety checks. on these photos, labels from berlin on the chaos facing air travelers. a christmas nightmare. you can across the united states as flight cancelled, and people to 4 hours a day of celebration has become a day off the situation and chaos with thousands of travelers who instead of spending christmas with their friends and family, i'll be seen to fly. what's more, passengers are complaining. they're only allowed to check in 2 hours before departure. the result, people missing slice and claims being delayed. it comes as of tons of cancels a dozen long distance flights and sustains popular connections due to low demand

and pilots falling sick. some $33000.00 connections has been cancelled that if we 10th planned flights and be tons of chief angry at european union, he says that the company would have to pay out $80000.00 into flights to follow your rules and not to me. landing floor at various a pool. while climate friendly exemptions were found in almost all other parts of the world during the time of the pandemic, the e u does not allow this in the same way that harms the climate and is exactly the opposite of what the e u commission wants to achieve meanwhile, the bad news king, for those who are planning the holidays across the atlantic, the 2 biggest american airline, delta engine nighted, have cancelled around 200 flights according to the carriers. the reason is a fight in con cases and to quote, an exhaustion of options. and resources,

one is a call to the us authorities by the delta c o. 2 cuts quarantine for 40 vaccinated people to 5 days from the current chain. these developments come several months after the ceo of another american a long wait, ordered his employees to be fully vaccinated against by the same. let's take a look at how this happened several months ago. let me choose choose

the. i've never been in favor of corporations imposing in that kind of a mandate executive order from president biden mandates at all federal employees. and then all federal contractors have to have a mandate invoice vaccine in place by december the 8th. so we're working through that. ah ah, in one of the world's richest men as lashed out at cnn in an interview. tesla, basil must joke, said he's not perverted enough to appear on the news network. what, what was it you said the the requirement for being a cnn georgiana is?

are you are you pervert? after voted and like quit there followed a series of controllers. his sin and anchor chris cuomo was recently fired for lying about helping out his brother the than governor of new york. both siblings have been accused of sexual misconduct, another sienna presented to lemons, been sued for sexual assaulting a man in a bar. mcclain he denies and most recently produces. john griffin was charged with sex crimes involving children. we spoke with legal media analysts law. no, he said the deal on mosques quit was actually genuine condemnation of the newsome. no, it's not a joke and bad taste. it's the truth about a network in bad taste. let's go back to what chris cuomo did. not only was he providing strategy to his brother, but he was working with his governor staff, one in particular. and he was talking about basically how they could, celine besmirch in,

impede the reputation of those women who may be making that allegation of the 1st place. so now this transcends strategy sessions from going and deliberately targeting and the conspiracy to impugn the integrity of women who dared complain about untoward behavior. this is not at all consistent. so one thing i wanna just explain though, think of 2022 brings something to bear along with the death and the destruction and the, the, the internment of, of, of, or internally, or i should say of c n, n is the fact that what is really news today is not what people think. sometimes a satirical is more, is more on point now as far as see and n. he's absolutely correct. so prediction here to be to be waxing vatike in python and it's going to be over for that wretched news

organization before you know it because everything that mr. musk said is true today marks 30 years since the symbolic end of the u. s. a saw the from the soviet flag was lowered and replaced by the colors of the russian federation with president mikhail gorbachev. announcing his resignation. the saw united by the communist ideology existed for almost 70 years, but relations between his republics become rocky. with the liberalizing policy of paris 3, getting little to stabilize the situation, the union was replaced by 15 newly formed states among them, russia. some of those now formed the commonwealth of independent states where people in mosca, how they felt about the collapse of the ussr. melissa, the downside is that the last territory we could not restrain the urge of certain nations to get into band. i see it was inevitable. it was going to happen anyway. but little soon period when an empire is collapsing,

it's always bad because something big and united fragments into a lot of smaller pieces. and it always ends up in war because everyone starts to have own ambitions. and there's a lot of war and anger when i swell, lived together, we could travel to all our republics. now it's silver. you cannot go so easily with lou on a financial level, but in terms of our basics, wife has improved. as for everything else on an idea, logical level, things are not as good. the youth of today are lacking in ideas. there is no shirt chance of purpose within the country don't accordingly. also direct the collective opinion from grandparents and parents is that it was better with the usaa education was better. perhaps everyone's mood was good, but i think there is more freedom now there is little trouble that was just a pretty long as it has definitely become better now. we are not as isolated as we were before us, but there is more opportunity for self fulfillment inside the country shows more than this to miss somebody else that said, when the following day the year saw was formerly dissolved,

there was rejoicing in the united states of the demise of its main geopolitical rival, though the mood was very different. and socialist countries like china, who discussed with the panel guest the reasons for and the impact of the dissolution. the, the collapse of the soviet union is don't political leadership. and that is a job is the main person who bears responsibility. one of the reasons why he was so unsuccessful was he attended economic, economic, and political reform at the same time. and the other thing was that he had anatomy, boris yeltsin. and they fell out. they hated one another, now had yells and go bunch of work together. so would you probably been with us today? that's all we had to reform, that those reforms are absolutely necessary. the gorbachev was working on 2 fronts, one to reform the soviet union inside, and also to reform its relations with the capitalist world. and he tried his

efforts there failed because of the inability of the united states in russia. the union then russia to, to come to terms we'll say that see in the pay say that space, the number of conflicts on whether that's nicole and a car back from touch cheapest on 2, for example, take us on a 2nd on team. do you think that we would have seen those kinds of disputes if the ussr had remained a whole the biggest loss i think of all in terms of. busy relations human relations. ready was the breakdown of their been rather narrow to tell you waited the feeling of community community our see that existed within the soviet union, that local level that is lost and i think everybody knows as results of the. ready disintegration at the beginning of the soviet union, that there was a real hope for a confederate world confederation. and that failed immediately after that initial

period after going to charles reform, stale and yeltsin, and also to try to engage with the united states. and europe is that field as well? give the world a vision of a fair society, a just society. ah, and on paper it was the fairest and the best society you can imagine. but it was a you tube, it proved to be a utopia. it's not just a matter of what was done for, for people in the. ready countries over the soviet unit itself, it was also the way in which the soviet union was able to interact with the rest of the world. and overall, it presence was, i would say very positive. and since then, the lack of having the soviet union has made the world

a much more dangerous place. serbian filmmaker american students who has told r t the freedom of the press no longer exists. he was reacting to the decision by german regulators to take our sister channel r t. d. off. the stations had quoted in moscow and has a serbian license for cable and satellite transmission, which under european or is enough to allow it to broadcast in germany. but berlin things, otherwise l e r t t e channel is also slammed with the ban. this is reaching the absurdity of what it means because at the moment when the technology goes all the way around there, you don't have the others. are getting a, one of the stations that the love to see because of it's documentary programs because of a lovely,

correctly reporting from different parts of the world that i'm going to treat. germany cannot stand it. and i'm just afraid that this is not just the autonomous, a german decision. i think this is much higher scale or that is just started 2 years ago for freedom press does not exist anymore. everything is transferred to ideology. you suffer because you don't polish reality. they want the thought to be a lie, a lie to be a through. this is why semester and the problem for them is that you are opening the windows to which we can see what is the real life of the people. what is the real mission of the people against elite? it's a fight that they have to go forward. you have to find ways to, to, to go forward. because as much as they press you, you will have a more and more audience. and the most

famous story behind santa claus place in the north pole, but christmas is most cheerful. man, has his roots in many different countries and cultures. it's on his pay to all of it finds out while supposing from last month he's probably the busiest man on the planet right now. but where son to close lives generally depends on where in the world you are. where does santa claus live? in? at the north where everyone knows in africa. yes. yeah. yeah. right. yeah. so you get to look to. oh, so left to right and yes so, so are on there. i have no idea, but i guess somewhere in finland present day, i think santa claus and polity living somewhere where there's a nice b and night, little i factory that he has for all the toys actually sag authorization in norway in new york, new york. yep. now some people say he lives in finland. what do you think of that?

i don't agree with that. new york, the north wall. new york city north, paul. okay. now some people think he lives in finland. do you buy that? maybe have you ever heard of lapland? no. in north america? the answer is usually that he lives in the north pole. but there's a few problems with that. firstly, there's no buildings there for sumter in his elves to live in, and it's far too cold. secondly, there's no christmas trees at the north pole. in fact, they've no trees at all. and you don't usually see some to slay being pulled by these guys. of course pulling santa's sleigh is the elite team over reindeer and looking after those reindeer is johan. who has the wonderful title of rain? dear whisper. johan: a thanks very much for talking to us. we're looking at where son to lives. now. there was some room as he lives in the north pole, but reindeer can't live in the north po can like no am i sometimes originally from

my mount ear, quarter of the room dory. but he was here in drama name it because it's easier for people to reach to him. then i'm the reindeer saw here enough. well, there's nothing to leave round. you look after the reindeer, how he whispered to a reindeer, what makes hello heard his name? what makes a good reindeer for santa? ah, the reindeer needs to be patient. it needs to be curious. it needs to be strong enough and bold enough. if they are too shy, they are afraid to fly over the skies. now what does a rain d a do for relaxation when it's not flying? they are just, you know, killing, playing down, eating, chatting with the friends, you know? but that leaves us with quite the problem. what about all of the letters to santa that are addressed to him at the north pole? i'm here in the bustling epicenter of santa's post office and joined by a very busy postal elf cold. here he's taking some time out of a dead to talked with it. he thanks very much. welcome welcome to santa claus main,

post office. thank you very much for having me. now. the question i have is, what do you do here with all of those letters that arise from the girls and boys all over the world? well, 1st of all, this very, very many letters that arrived every year. there's always are over half a 1000000 letters that santa gets and the 1st we thought him out by the country. and so that's what i'm doing here right now. santa has received a letter sir, around $200.00 countries so far. so what happens to those letters that are addressed to the north pole? please tell me they come here. they come here, let me see if i do have here some. ah example, for example over here. so this is the place where they all end up anyway. so they come to the right may even though you put the wrong address in it. well, that's good to know that everybody watching made sure that their letters always arrive with santa claus. well, it's good to know that santa is receiving his mail here in lapland,

but this wasn't always his address. most theologians will agree that saint nicholas was born in nor around the mediterranean coastal town of mirror. now deborah, in turkey, in around $288.00 d. however, there's not many images of santa in his home town on christmas cards. well, there is one way to settle this argument good and proper to speak to the man himself, santa claus. hello. thank you very much for joining us here on our t. sunset. we've been searching for you around the way old. tell us in your own words, where are you from? oh, scafa. i am from here. you got lost the soccer. yeah, i've been here for. oh screamed a long time. actually here on the arctic circle i talking more than way over 30 years in my house. yes. yeah. i have my office now here. i'm here every day of the year. so children all over the world can come and meet me
