made. everyone knows it was made a quarter of an hour into the program. this is r t still ahead. many hands make a light work. president of the red cross tells the program, cooperation on vaccines is the only way to beat the pandemic. that story, and more sure. ah ah ah, ah ah, ah, ah, a ah, with oh, focused on ukraine, joe biden says, i don't accept any one's red line. russia's foreign minister southgate marlborough says. the nightmare scenario of military confrontation is returning on this edition of the program, we examined the significance of both statements. i say, oh hello again. in a controversial move, new york is set to become the 1st us city to require coven vaccines. for all private sector workers, maribel de blasio safe. the rule will take effect later this month, just days before his term ends. our teeth kill him up in reports. new york city mayor bill de blasio, who portrays himself as a national leader in the fight against colbert 19, has taken a pretty bold move and announced a vaccine mandate for the whole city of new york. for all private businesses, he cited the on the kron variant as well as cold weather and seasonal fluids and other factors in making this decision. quite a big move from the new york city mayor, who is outgoing, he will soon be out of office. here is what he said. as of today, we're going now say, 1st in the nation, measure our health commissioner. well, now's a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board. now, vaccines are already required for all city employees that teachers, firefighters, police officers, emergency medical workers, etc. furthermore, they are required for the staff of all religious and private schools in new york city. but this new mandate will hit a 184000 private businesses across the city of new york. they will be required to have vaccinations for all of their employees. quite a dramatic move and there's been quite a negative reaction and response. may a de blasio will impose a 1st in the nation vaccine mandate for all private sector workers in new york city . build up last year. isn't a mer he's a tyrant. just spoke to catherine wild, the president of a prominent n y c business group. we were blindsided, there is no full warning, no discussion, no idea about whether it's legal or who he expects to enforce it. new york city announces covey vaccine mandate for private businesses going where no city has gone before, because it's potentially unenforceable, and will probably get stuck in the courts until well off to the med to parts at the end of the year. now the new york city mayor expects that this will survive any legal challenges. we already saw a situation where for a moment jo biden's, federal mandate was put on hold by the courts. but then later upheld in the court of appeal. and bill de blasio expects the same except expects that the courts will uphold this mandate and it will move ahead. now it's important to note the mandate will go into effect on december 27th, which is the day. it's actually 4 days before bill de blasio is set to leave office and be replaced by new york city. mayoral elect, eric adams, the new mayor, will be coming in and replacing bill de blasio 4 days after the mandate. now eric adams, the incoming mayor, who was elected in the vote a few months ago, says that he plans to meet with people who are critical of the mandate and listen to what they had to say. and if you taken notice of the tone in the city right now, and the anger that may prove to be a little bit more than he is bargaining for your in russia, the country has reported dates 1st cases of the new cobit variant on the chrome. it was detected in 2 out of 10 people who just returned from south africa. the new mutation which was 1st detected in southern africa, has been steadily spreading. more than 40 countries have no recorded cases. the new strain is said to be more contagious than previous ones, although at present that's not linked to any debts at all. scientists are working to adopt existing vaccines. the site, it's a microbiologist. explain to us how the new variant works against immune systems. so i'm looking very carefully and i know people are other people are also looking very carefully at the data coming out of south africa to get a glimpse of what will happen in russia. and right now the growth of the, the spread of this wires against the background of immunity to delta does not look good. there is the very little date on that, unfortunately, so far. one piece of data when we have is that the people who got infected previously with delta are more likely to get re inspected with alma chron compared to the people who are how people who got alpha green fact. so on the chrome looks somewhat different from the viewpoint of our news system up now the delta and all on for this there is good. and so that might mean that we may need some additional explaining to the community of what the bar season, that is actually the same parts. and maybe the, the vaccines will ultimately have to be tweaked or that from the health error. you point, assuming it's probably be a good thing because, you know, there is 40 percent of its unaided people that we have here in russia are definitely unacceptable. we have a functional, ah, but seen with proven efficiency brought both within and outside russia. sputnik and the people that really should take it. failure to provide equal world wide access to vaccines may result in new covet strains, emerging fast. the warning from the president of the international federation of the red cross. in an interview here with r t earlier, francesco iraq, i discussed not just the warren cove it but also the poland, belarus. michael crisis and there were some county 9 european union, for example. we administer that there dosa. while in africa we sta, louisa raised that tisa temper sandy moodle need engrossed with 0 percent. so something that says morgana said that what we're ready to go so far, we are ready to scale up our activities in africa. but daddy, the shoes about validated the, the vaccines to have access to the vaccines. we have to put pressure on the pharmaceutical companies. there, you will be an union, the united states, u. k. we invested the b unsolved dollars, so ins researcher due to the dual to make this vaccine accessible. so why the boy discount ended up being county is that, that does not derive that to have access. so i think these, it should be a common gold, not something that said belong to the, to the, from a central young company is the beginning. there. believe me, i did it on them. it has been politicized to look at they, they did, they did the level of the fake news or their day even political lisa had to spread . busy around award. so this is something that unfortunate has been 40 decisive bukasa. it has to do with the fear of the people. it's up to the political leader to follow they, they advise is coming from their sankey community to least and not to them, to walk with them to avoid the total, to vote at the, on the same level and diesel to the media is an important responsibility. this and tv community and people the media and the governments are continuing to ring the alarm bells

and lodge in vars. now linelle, a very important statement was made in the ukraine defense minister interview to u. k. media. he essentially caught the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines war and put out there to do that by, by passing nato veneer. so, can you tell us about the last quote, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines lie? to me, a putin had to find no animal. well, we have heard similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military that they were ready to send their troops over . not only those in training, but those in combat units as well. this is something we are obviously very concerned about. this is something we do not like, and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests. while let's learn a little more about that. now, art is dan hawkins. joining us here in the studio today. good of the you today, dan. so on, the washington says it doesn't want any problems. but with the u. s. war ships cruising rushes or coastline in the black sea in all this inflammatory rhetoric about ukraine. washington says it

u. s. and the u. k. government, both members of the 5 eyes intelligence alliance and clearly wiki leaks, join us on poses a grave threat to this, to complete dominance of the information space, a digitally and globally. so that's one of the main things i think that they're concerned about having him. basically free is something they want to avoid doing. and so this ruling today is, is basically gonna bring it if it goes to appeal to a low court where we're looking at or maybe another year. so the whole timeline of this, just this saga of the, of the case 3 years. and so this is really a game of attrition that's being played. i think by the british authorities and coordination with the u. s. of, there's definitely political overtones to this that, beyond a doubt now there's involvement of the intelligence agencies from the u. s. and may be more than that. that's also beyond debate now. so you have a completely political situation. so you have a political prisoner, effective in terms of the prosecution, p
