globally more than 2000 planes have been grounded in just the past 24 hours. the reasons including cove, it outbreaks among cabin crew and new cross borders. safety checks on his pool. asleep reports from berlin, about the chaos that is facing at travelers. a christmas nightmare here and you can across the united states as flight canceled. and people always a day of celebration has become a day of the situation and chaos for thousands of travelers. who instead of cleaning christmas with a 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 slides 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 fallen sick. some 33000 convictions 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 carry out 80000 in to fly to follow you rules and not to me. landing flaw at various a port. 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 bobby's team for those who are planning the holidays across the atlantic. the 2 biggest american airline built into noted, have cancelled around $200.00 flights according to the carriers. the reason is a bike 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 claim team for fully

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 that happened several months ago. in the news. the news

the i've never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate executive order from president biden mandates it all federal employees. and then all federal contractors have to have a mandate info vaccine in place by december the 8th. so we're working through that . ah, ah, in one of the world's richest men has lashed out his cnn in an interview. tesla basil must jokes that 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 in is, are you, are, you pervert voted or no?

like quit followed a series of controversies at cnn. anchor chris cuomo was recently fired for lying about helping out his brother, the governor of new york. both siblings had been accused of sexual misconduct and other c, and i'm presented on lemond has been sued for sexually assaulting a man in a bar as a claim he denies. the most recently producer john griffin was charged with sex crimes involving children. we spoke with legal media unless law know who said that a lot must quit was actually genuine condemnation of the chunk. 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 sullying besmirch in impede the reputation of those women who might be making these allegations 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 in terms of i should say of cnn 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.

well today marks the 30th, the symbolic end of the ussr, victrum and soviet flag was lowered and it was replaced by the colors of the russian federation. with president mikhail gorbachev. announcing his resignation. the user saw united by the communist ideology existed for almost 70 years, but relations between his republics, they become rocky and the liberalizing policy of perestroika done little to stabilize the situation. the union was replaced by 15 newly formed states among them, russia. some of those states of now formed the commonwealth of independent states, where people in moscow are they felt about the collapse of the soviet union. melissa, the downside is that the last territory, we could not restrain the urge of certain nations to gain independence. 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 always ends up in war because everyone starts to have their own ambitions. there's

a lot of war and anger as well lived together. we could travel to all our republics . now at silver. you cannot go so easily with flu on a financial level 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 shared sense of purpose within the country. and accordingly, also got 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's little trouble that just renewed on us. it has definitely become better now. we are not as isolated as we were before, so there is more opportunity for a self fulfillment inside the country. or when the following day, the assessor was formally dissolved. there was rejoicing in the united states and the demise of his main geopolitical rival, the mid, very different in socialist countries such as china, to discuss with a panel of guests the reasons for and the impact of the dissolution. the,

the collapse of the soviet union is don't political leadership. 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 an enemy, what is your son? and they fell out. they hated one another. now had gilson and go to work together. so would you probably been with us today? that's all we had to reform. those reforms are absolutely necessary. the gorbachev was working on 2 fonts, 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 post state space, the number of conflicts,

but they're not going to carry back from touch cheapest on to, for example, k cost on is pakistan team. do you think that we would have seen those kinds of disputes if the u. s. a saw, had remained a whole the biggest loss i think of all in terms of 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 his results of the disintegration and 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 yes,

and you also to try to engage with united states and europe. that field is will hey, 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 utopia, proved to be a utopia. it's not just a matter of what was done for people in the countries of 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's presence was i would say very positive. and since then, the lack of having the soviet union, there has made the world a much more dangerous place to come for a while, some dream of a white christmas. others dream of

a wo corner connie say the sky don't have to meet on king country after the break. join me every 1st name on the alex salmon. sure. and i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics. sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. 0, one of the major fights, chance are merged go with president bush junior, was in 2008 this call bucharest company. at that stage, the united states actually wants it for georgia and ukraine to get nato membership to start the so called membership action plan. and it was germany that stopped that and then said, no, no,

we don't want to do that because these countries will not add to the stability nato, which is one of the prerequisites in the later treaty. with welcome back serbian filmmaker america stories a has told r t freedom of the press no longer exists. he was reacting to the decision. my german regulated to take our sister channel r t d off that and the station and that channels headquartered in moscow. it has a serbian license for cable and satellite transmission, which under european law is enough to allow it to broadcast in germany, but berlin things otherwise. and earlier are td's. he tube channels also slapped

with this is reaching the absolute, the all the top of it. what it means, because at the moment when the technology goes all the way around there, you don't have the boarders. you are getting one of the stations that we love to see because of the documentary program because of a lovely, correctly reporting from different a 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 breast does not exist anymore. everything is transferred to ideology. you suffer because you don't polish reality. they want the truth to be a lie, a lie. 1 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 the ways to, to, to go forward. because as much as the press you, you will have a more and more audience. now among those celebrating christmas today of the woke brigade office in terry, 50 chase, a little bit different from the nome is our quick tongue in cheek guide. ah christmas. the traditional yuletide on a day or this year making this traditional with a special christmas guide me christmas tolerance, diversity guide. busy we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes oral your parents are properly number

on behavior whereas read, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kids center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions. stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide. i turning they to more traditional ideas of christmas and it's often assume santa claus actually comes from the north pole. different countries though, assign him different origins. once he's peter oliver reports from blah bland. he's probably the busiest man on the planet right now, but where santa claus lives generally depends on where in the world you are. where does santa claus live? in?

at the north boy i every one knows in africa. yeah. yeah. yeah. right. yeah. so you get to 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 are probably living somewhere where there's a nice b and night little i factory that he has for all the toys actually sackcloth or isn't it 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 sun to slay is the elite team over reindeer and looking after those reindeer is johan, who has the wonderful title of rain? dia 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 radius 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 the of a name it because it's easier for people to reach to him then i'm the radius are here in awful. there's nothing to leave round. you look after the rain days, how do you whisper to arrange 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 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 her dear to talk with eddy. 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 let justice arrive every year. this always are over half a 1000000. let us attempt to get and 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,
