a huge code. so these airlines counseling flight, leaving people stranded at ab holds all around the world. also in the program billionaire entrepreneur, ellen musk takes a bit of a swipe at see an end by saying he's not perverted enough to appear on the channel . which as you may know, i've been hit by a slew of sex scandals with right it's, i hope you, i'm on a very snowy christmas here at moscow with hope you having a great day. we go friends and family. it's good to have you with us with this program. so the u. s. is seeing a search in alma chronic cases. apparently they're up 55 percent across the whole country in new york, texas. i knew josie, they've more than doubled and down south and the sunshine state of florida. they've jumped 7 fold. now it was on tuesday that joe biden promised half a 1000000000 free tests for americans. he also pledged to open more testing sites,

although many testing centers of actually closed down to, to stop shortages including fil, a teen in new york. and in new jersey. 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 are waiting to get coven tests here and manhattan. that is a horrible, honestly, you know, 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 lines for hours to get tested. so it makes no sense to be that's not good. it's probably why i'm standing on line and the 26 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. 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 going to say . 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 co, good 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've not been vaccinated, you have an obligation to yourself, to your family, and quite frankly, i know we criticize this to your country,

get faxes it now it's free. it's convenient. i promise you, which saves the lives. i honest to god, believe it, you patriotic 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 la can't accuse having just been seen at cope testing stations, but also at airports across the entire world. millions of people are currently facing christmas travel disruptions due to mass fly constellations, globally, as we understand more than 2000 planes have been grounded in just the past 24 hours . a reasons including a covert among cabin crews and new cross border safety checks. so on his policy and reports from berlin on the cale facing at travelers, that of course, it's nice you can across the united states as flight cancelled. and people who are

with a day of celebration has become a day off the situation and pay off with thousands of wood travelers who instead of spending 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, slice and plain been delayed. it comes as of tons of cancels a dozen long distance flights and sustains popular connections due to low demand and pilot, falling sick. some $33000.00 connections have been canceled, that if we tend to plan flight and be tons of chief angry european union, he says that the company would have to pay out $80000.00 into flies to follow your rules and not to me. landing cloth 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 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 bike in con cases and to close an exhaustion of options and resources. one is a call to the us authorities by the delta c o 2 cuts claim team for estimated people q 5 days from the current came. 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.

in the news . i've never been in favor of corporations imposing in that kind of a mandate executive order from pres, inviting, mandates it 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 what's really, it's not exactly the easiest time to be flying, but somehow ortiz peter, all of a did manage to catch a flight this time to lapland, on a mission, to track down for the christmas. 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 the north for everyone knows in africa. yeah. yeah. yeah, right. yeah. so you get to to look to those are left to right. and yes, oh, so are on there. i have no idea but i guess somewhere in finland main present day. i think santa claus are probably living somewhere where there's a nice b and night,

little i factory that he has were all the toys actually sackcloth or in norway in new york. the north wall new york. 6 city, north paw 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, there's 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 ring? dio 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 sans ice originally from a mount ear corner of the room dory. but he was here in rob anemic because it's

easier for people to reach to him. then i'm the rangers are here in norful. there's nothing to leave route you look after the reindeer. 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 the rain do? you 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 cancer that are addressed to him on the north pole? i'm here in the bustling epicenter of santa's post office and joined by a very busy postal elf poll here. he's taking some time out of her dare to talk to her 30. 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 arrive 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 sent to get and the 1st we sought 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 damira 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 arte sunset. we've been searching for you around the world. tell us in your own words, where are you from? all of i am from here. las vegas? yeah, i've been here for oh, screen, the long time. actually here on the arctic circle i so small 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, but you're able to travel extreme distance isn't all over the world,

can make sure that you deliver toys to the boys and girls. how does that happen? oh, that is actually quite easy. oh, well, you know my, my ranges, they fly not going to fill us in on the tricks, no exclusive here. first of all, remember, the world is the wild evenings of the time zones. okay? so when you travel you all the time, the same time, sometimes on alonzo like that's how you do it. well, well the other way, sir. the santa tell you i thought, oh christmas eve. how tiring? nice. going very slowly while you're waiting. oh, well, that's my other secret. the world is turning around that day, a little bit slow and thank you very much. santa claus. a merry christmas. you all are married. and a very merry christmas for me as well. peter,

all of her for our tea in santa's village in the arctic circle. lapland. and from our traditional christmas idea to something more woke and festive, cheer pushes to many boundaries for you. here's an alternative. ah christmas. the traditional yuletide holiday. this year, making this traditional with a special christmas guide. mm. christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes oral your parents are properly number. i am this year. follow the agenda and make us know woman instead of snow man. or even better at this new person designed for themselves. ah, no gifts, no,

don't want any best. prepare your children for the brave new world. you remember, diversity is not at i o is no longer an appropriate cost. you this is appropriation 0 a logical appropriation offensive to the dear community. mm hm. and obviously sandra has to be cancelled. i because he is a white, his gender male who amuses mrs. close discriminate against children based on behavior, whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kids sandler is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions.

stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide, oh oh ah ah, one of the major fights, chance are merged, good with president bush junior, was in 2008 this so called bucharest, something at that stage. the united states actually wanted for georgia and ukraine to get them and nato membership to start this so called membership action class. and it was germany that stop that and then said no, the nato, which is one of the prerequisites in the nature of treaty,

join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess from the world politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then ah is abby with us from the program here when the r t international? well, one of the richest men in the world has lashed out at c n. n interview, tesla boss, ellen musk joked that he's not perverted enough to appear on that news network. you know what, what was it you said the the requirement for being a cnn georgiana is, are you, are, you pervert?

i have lots of. well, that quip followed a series of controversies at sienna, anchor, chris cuomo was recently fired for lying about helping out his brother then governor of new york. a both siblings have been accused of sexual misconduct and other sierras, under right there. don lemon, being sued for he was suit, was sexually assaulting a man and a bars, a claim he denies. and most recently, that one right there, producer john griffin was charged with a sex crimes against children. so we got reaction from our legal and media analyst, lionel. 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 explained that i 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 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 forissi 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. so be an filmmaker amira because students has told already that freedom of the

press no longer exists. he was reacting to the decision by german regulators to take our new sister channel r t t e off the air at the station is headquartered right here in moscow. and has a serbian license, the cable and satellite transmission, which on the european law is enough to allow it to broadcast in german speaking countries. however, berlin seems to think otherwise. earlier r t d, you tube channel was also slapped with a band. this is a bit what it means, because at the moment when the technology goes all the way around there, you don't have to go those, you know, getting one of the stations that we love to see because of it's documentary programs because of a lovely, correctly reporting from different parts of the world and 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 of 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 thought to be ally, ally to be a true. 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 base of the people against elite? it's a fight, but you have to go forward. you have to find ways to, to, to go forward because as much as they press you, you will have more and more audio. so today it marks 30 years since the symbolic and of the ussr. the kremlin soviet flag was lowered and replaced by the colors of the russian federation. of course,

within president mikhail gorbachev announcing his resignation. now the u. s. s. are united by the communist ideology existed for nearly 7 decades. however, were relations between his republics at certainly become rocking with the liberalizing policy of perestroika not doing much to stabilize the situation. the union was, of course, replaced by 50 newly formed states among them, russia. and some of these now form the commonwealth of independent states. so we asked people in moscow how they felt about the collapse of the soviet union. a downside is that the last territory would not restrain the urge of certain nations to gain in dependency. 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 it's silver. you cannot go so easily with blue one, 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. 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 was just pursued honestly, 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. so was was listed when the following day, the u. s. as i was formerly dissolved, there was rejoicing in america. the demise of its main rival, though the mood was rather different in socialist countries like china, my colleagues, saskia taylor earlier. i look back on those are well changing events with a panel of guests. 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. the show 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 pay say that space, the number of conflicts, whether that's nicole and a car back from touch cheapest on to for example, k cost on is back. is dante,

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 the 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 results of the. ready disintegration at the beginning of the and 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 the united states and europe in 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 you tube, it proved to be a utopia. it's not just a matter of what was done for people in the. ready 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 present was i would say very positive. and since then, the lack of having the soviet union that has made the world a much more dangerous place and a place much more dominated by big capital in a way that has been disastrous for the climate and disastrous for a majority of the world's population. well,

i just my wraps up the news cost for this, our headline from moscow and archie international. thanks for sharing your time with us here. and we hope you're having a perfect day with your friends, family, and loved ones as well. and a very merry christmas to we are back to more of yours. ah ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith?
