as walking one of the gods, this is why you where again when you scale it doesn't take it off. i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons who are less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number of deaths in the headlines are not the international, huge cues at dwindling us testing centers as on their chronic. busy sweeps donation for the daily infection rate, a parent be increasing 7 fold in certain states. we have a surgeon and we do need more testing centers. i mean, look at these lines. that is, are horrible. honestly, you know, most of my friends have to wait on line for hours and hours to get for food. i've had to wait. i'm blind for hours to get tested. and millions of people all around the world are facing travel. chaos this christmas is a huge cove and so she's airlines counseling that flight leaving people stranded

although many testing centers of actually closed down to to stop shortages. that includes 13 of them in new york and 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 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 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. 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, refused 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 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, believe it, you, patriarch, 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, toyota cues. i've just been seen at various coven testing stations, but actually at airports all across the world, of millions of people are currently facing christmas travel disruption, jude math flight constellations. as we understand globally in the past 24 hours more than 2000 planes have been grounded now. the reasons include a covert and also that of new cross border security checks. so a correspondent, artist paul asleep. now reports from berlin on the chaos facing christmas. travelers a christmas nightmare here and you can across the united states as flight suck,

canceled, and people, 4 hours a day of celebration has become a day of frustration and chaos for thousands of would be travellers who instead of spending christmas with their friends and family, are being refused to fly, what's more, passengers are complaining. they're only allowed to check in 2 hours before departure. the result, people missing flights and planes being delayed. it comes as of tons of councils, a dozen long distance flights and suspends popular connections, g to low demand and pilots, falling sick. some 33000 connections have been canceled. that if we 10th planned flight and b, lufthansa chief was angry at the european union. he says that the company would have to carry out a 2000 empty flights to follow e rule and not to move landing slots at various airports. 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 commission wants to achieve. meanwhile, those bodies to, for those who are planning the holidays across the atlantic, the 2 biggest american airlines, delta and united, have cancelled around $200.00 flights according to the carriers. the reason is a spike in only con cases and to quote, an exhaustion of options. and resources, this one is a call to the us authorities by the delta v o, who off to cut quarantine for fully vaccinated people to 5 days from the current. tim, these developments come several months after the fio of another american eylandt. southwest ordered his employees to be fully vaccinated against by the same mis 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 president biden 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. i use obviously it's not, it's actually the easiest time to be flying these days. but all these peter, all of us somehow managed to jump on a plane and fly all the way to luck land his mission. to track down father 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. oh so left to right and yes. 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 night feed and night,

little i factory that he has were all the time actually sag authorization 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. first sleep best, 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 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 sans ice originally from

a mount ear, quarter of a balloon glory. 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 north. well, there's nothing to leave route you look after the reindeer. how do you whisper to arrange via 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 answer that are addressed to him at the north pole? i'm here in the bustling at the center of santa's post office and joined by a very busy postal elf poll here. he's taking some time out of her dear 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 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 get 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 examples, 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? oh, i am from here. we got las vegas rocker. yeah, i've been here for a really long time. actually here on the arctic circle i so small than way over 30 years in my house yet here i have my office now here i'm here every day of the year. so children who all over the world can come and meet me, but you're able to travel extreme distance,

isn't all over the world to make sure that you deliver toys to the boys and girls. how does that happen? oh, that is actually quite easy. oh oh, you know my ranges, they fly not going to fill us in on the tricks. no exclusive here. first of all, remember, well this the wild evenings of the time zones. okay. so will you travel you all the time the same time from times on alonzo. right. that's how you do it. well, well the other way, sir. the santa taylor 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. thank you very much. santa claus. a merry christmas. you all are married, a and a very merry christmas for me as well. peter, all of her for

r. t in santa's village in the arctic circle. lapland. and so from traditional christmas idea to something more woke, if festive chair pushes to many boundaries for you, that is here is an alternative. ah christmas. the traditional yuletide holiday this year i'm making this traditional with a special christmas guide. me christmas tolerance diversity guide. busy we all know that christmas is a family holiday. i make sure all your parents are properly numbered. i follow the agenda and make us no woman instead of snow man. or even better at this new person designed for themselves.

oh, no gifts, no don't. so teddy bears prepare your children for the brave new world. i remember diversity is not at all i o is no longer an appropriate costume. this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dia, community. mm hm. and obviously sandra has to be cancelled. i because he is a white, his gender male who amuses mrs. claus 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. i a ah, with

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. is an offense, very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult, time. time to sit down and talk. ah, it is good to have you with us today here when i see well, the world's richest man has lashed out at cnn in an interview on tesla boss, e. long musk joke that he's not perverted enough to appear on that news channel.

what, what was it you said the the requirement for being a cnn georgiana is? are you, are, you pervert not provided or no? not a quip followed a series of controversies. sienna, you probably know most of them are anchor chris cuomo, recently fined for lying about helping out his brother. then governor of new york. both of them have been accused of sexual misconduct, another c, and present right? that don levin has been sued for sexually assaulting a man in a bar. it's a claim he denies. and most recently, that one right, the cnn producer john griffin was charged with sex crimes against children. well, we reached out for comment and reaction from a legal and media analyst liable. 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 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 terminal 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. his aunty international get abby with us today or serbian filmmaker, a miracle students a has told auntie that freedom of the press no longer exists. he was reacting to the decision by german regulators to take our brand new sister channel r t d e, off the air. now the station is headquarters. here in moscow is just on the hallway for murray. i am now. it has a serbian license for cable and satellite transmission, which on the european, laura's fine to allow her to bro akash in german speaking countries. apparently, however, berlin might be thinking otherwise. even earlier, archie des youtube channel was also slapped with a ban. this is a bit what it means, because at the moment when the technology goes all the way around, you don't have to go those, you know,

any one of the stations that we love to see because of its documentary programs because of a lovely and 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 of 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 alive to be 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 base of the people against elite? it's a fight, but you have to go forward. you have to find ways to, to go forward because as much as they press you, you will have

a more and more audience. so today marks 30 years since the symbolic end of the u. s. s. on the kremlin to serve yet flag was lowered and replaced with the colors of the russian federation. of course, with our then president mikhail gorbachev, announcing his resignation. now the u. s. s. are united by of course that of the communist ideology. it existed for nearly 70 years. however, relations between republic certainly had become a bit rocky, with the liberalizing policy of perestroika doing very little to stabilize the situation. the union was replaced by 15 newly formed states among them, russia, of course. and some of these now formed out of the commonwealth of independence things. so here at r c, we, we asked people in the streets of moscow how they felt about the collapse of the soviet union 30 years ago. 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 it's silver. you can not go so easily with flu when 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 go to 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 was more freedom. now there's little trouble that was just to proceed on us. it has definitely become better now. we are not as isolated as we were before, so there is more opportunity for a cellphone filament inside the country. she wasn't released when at the following

day, the u. s. as i was formerly dissolved, there was rejoicing in america. the demise of its main rival for the mood was rather different in socialist countries like china. my colleagues, huskier taylor earlier, she looked back on these well changing events with a panel of guests the, the collapse of the soviet union is down to political leadership ago, making our garbage off is the main person who bears accountability. 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, but as you listen and they fell out, they hated one another. now had deals and go with joe worked together. so would, you know, were probably been with us today. that's all we had to reform. those reforms are absolutely necessary. the gorbachev is 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 in russia to, to come to terms, we'll say that see in the pe site, that space the number of conflicts on whether that's going to come back from touch based on 2, for example, kicks on is back, is don t t 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. busy relations human relations. ready was the breakdown of the been rather narrow to tell you waited the but the feeling of community community policy that existed within the soviet union that local level that is lost and i think everybody knows resolves 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 yes, and you also to try to engage with united states and in the european that field is, well 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 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. i there was a top stores for this out here. life on asi international wrapping up a program just for now. thanks so much for sharing the time with us here on the special day hope you're having a wonderful day with family, friends, and loved ones. we are back with more of a very kaiser christmas now. santa claus and rudolph are scheduled to deliver a bounty of toys today. but due to supply chain constraints and the
