u. s . c has detected in the area $7000.00 violation to be detected according to russian . for ministry over the past 2 weeks. that is roughly an explosion every 3 minutes they say, which is 5 times more violations. 5 times more violence than was detected at this time, december last year. vladimir putin also speaking earlier regarding the situation in ukraine, said that there is tremendous a tremendous roof of concern and that russia truly fears war breaking out in east and you credit to me and i'm good at way knowing them now they're saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, our impression is that they could be preparing a 3rd military operation and a warning us in advance. don't interfere, don't protect those people. and if you do, then there will be such and such new sanctions. maybe that's what they're planning . president putin and defense minutes to show who had both previous previously said that there are hundreds of thousands, millions of ethnic russians in ukraine in the conflict so that russia would have no choice but to protect if worst comes to worst they hope, of course, the b

u. s. c's expressing caution. iran wants guarantees that sanctions on its oil sales will be lifted. well, an 84000000 people have been forced to flee their homes this year, escaping violence, disaster or seeking jobs as the highest number ever recorded. and comes despite pandemic related travel restrictions which kept many stuck at home. un figures shame more than a 3rd of those on leave. our teenage girls and a warnings. a number of refugees in migrants is emmy said to increase next year. john holman revolts one of the most searing images from 2021 u. s. border patrol agents chasing down haitians thrown across into texas. women, why? even those words of video provoked an outcry. the u. s. ambien, but in some ways they were typical of another year in which people were on the move . those will shut to them, locked him out of pocket la kills me about this is that everyone knows what we, haitians are going through. there's no president crime as high students can't go to school. there's no work. the economy is down, people can put up with that's the partition is not good for all, even o

u. s. doesn't have a desire for conflict with russia and bring lincoln said, he told love that the u. s. c's, a key to ending the conflict is the implementation of the men's agreement. and the allegations here are that russia and ukraine are not engaging in prison swaps. ukraine is not allowing local elections to take place in the area control by russian separatists. russia isn't removing heavy armor, lots of things like this that should have happened by now. so this is what an exchange in russia will repeated. it's point about is red lines that it does not want to see nato expanding beast woods taking in ukraine and georgia and burn. and can you give us a sense here because we've had a lot of strive rhetoric over the last few days, how, how's russia responded? to what we've been hearing from nato over the last little while. well, i think the most important thing that seems to come out of this meeting and is something that we think we believe the russians have been talking after the last few weeks. is that the russian news agency said after this meeting ended that there, it looks like the li

and lately the u. s. c, itself has said that it has detected more and more troops and armor ukrainian making their way towards the breakaway republics. vladimir putin in this vein has also spoken about the tragedy of civilian life. more than 2000000 civilians trapped in that conflict. so enduring this, endless bombardment than he himself has likened.

that's the spice, the u. s. c, d c, flagging concerns along some side effects and proposing that other vaccines be used rather than j and j. but so that's a can, it's, let's say they have not seen any alarming signals in local studies and that while they are aware of side effects their way and the benefits of the j and j vaccine outweigh the risks. south africa bio vac institute will also start making the 5 the vaccine early next year. and so the african role will be to finish and full the vaccine manufacture process. once that vaccine is received from europe, the old house organization and others are working on establishing africa's 1st covert vaccine technology hub. now that's as the vaccine companies have been criticized, but not doing enough to help african and developing countries. while south africa will now play a great role in the manufacture of vaccines, it's along with countries like india continue to push for vaccine tape and waivers to allow for the manufacturer of vaccines and more countries. they all

celeste to produce the heads of states, and governments have clearly stated that no participant of the u. s. c should ensure their security by damaging the security of others. so when jen stolen, burge made this high brow and arrogant statement that no one can breach the principle of the washington treaty. in accordance with which the doors are open for any candidate wishing to seem to nato, we can say that we are not party to this organization. we have not signed the street, but we have side a broader pad regional euro atlantic document that includes the principle of indivisible security and of jen salton berg believes that nato members can ignore this principle. that is im shrine, than the documents adopted at the highest level. then perhaps it is indeed time for him to get a different job because he does not perform his functions very well. the children that are one of the correspondence who was growing the foreign minister for the past hour or so as daniel hawkins, i there was very in depth. our with sir gale of robbed us, give us a recap of the key points that he came back with. yes, cert

the u. s. c. reports, violence has been on the up in, in recent weeks at vladimir putin himself. i believe we have the video has come out and has spoken with tremendous concern about what is happening in the east of ukraine. let's listen to that. then it's coming up per year comes. so somewhere i should say that russo phobias the 1st step towards genocidal. so what was going on and on bass now very much resembles genocide. we see it in your new router. but it has for many years said that it will stand by the people of dumbass, many of them. most of the vast majority ethnic russians and nic russians now, many of them jewels citizens of both ukraine and russia. passport holders. russia has helped them over the years with humanitarian aid, to the tune of millions and millions of dollars. and it said that it has an obligation to do so given that v tremendous circumstances and the tremendous conditions horrific conditions that they labored with the constant shelling the blockades, the lack of food, and the constant danger of life in the air, in east than ukraine near the near the conf

month we, she new violations, those weapons rolling and rolling into east you, craig, and lately the u. s. c, itself has said that it has detected more and more troops and armor ukrainian, making their way towards the breakaway republics. vladimir putin in this vein has also spoken about the tragedy of civilian life. more than 2000000 civilians trapped in that conflict. so enduring this, endless bombardment that he himself was like and what is happening there to a, a war cry so, so my, i should say that, russo, for me as the 1st step towards genocide of what's going on and on bass now very much resembles genocide. we see it and we know about it. the, the western narrative tool of this, certainly over the recent months has been that russia is preparing some sort of invasion on ukraine. but there's been very little condemnation of what ukraine is doing itself in terms of increase intentions, both just what's happened in the last few hours or even if you look at what's been happening, i velocity wait. while i look at this with 0, there's a lot of politics painting the, the entire scene of what

c u. s. prison camp guantanamo after this month's decision by british courts to exonerate the u. s. justice system when it comes to wiki likes his julian assange. this program investigates the alleged torture of missouri dicey by the usa, the author of don't forget us here. lost and found at guantanamo was swept up by us linked warlords and the cia in afghanistan. 18 year old missouri became detainee 441, and was held at guantanamo for 14 years without charge you a discretion was advised to so may be disturbed by us treatment of prisoners discussed in this interview. and for a daffy joins me now. from belgrade in sylvia. man, so welcome to going under ground. i suppose we better stop given the, i know from my lawyers that people watch this show in guantanamo bay, torture camp, prison, whatever. it's called a 1st a message i suppose from you to the people still in there. yeah. first of all, thank you for how are you today and is the 2nd time actually actually are to you one of their favorites. you're not going to know because it's just the other side of the wall. and before i star

there's a sign on the mantle over the fireplace that said "welcome george bush" and it was spelled b-u-s-c-h. like anheuser-busch. that made a huge asterisk for america and a an even bigger difference for the rest of the world. he did more to introduce transformation than any other president in our history. when it came to inviting people to the responsibilities of governing. yes, the opportunities that come through democracy but he made many bad leaders better leaders because of how he led. around the world. so, that's what transformed the world and very grateful of his service. but the chapter about brent skullcroft organizing the national security council is a must read because it talks about the partnership that existed even inside the white house. normally there's tension between the different bureaucracies inside the white house. i would carry around three in one oil all the time to put it in the gears. but president bush and brant and jim baker were a remarkable team and had the benefit of working with dick cheney and colon powell. a spectacular team that made a difference. the presid

u. s. y c continued spread. i think it started off. 4 in the east coast, really because of a lot of contact with the u. k. and with the southern african countries, there are direct flights from dr. misburg, for example, to new york, new jersey, d. c. it's not as prevalent maybe in california yet, although it's increasing authorizations are not that high compared to the east coast, but it's spreading westward. so i see a big sweep i see potentially unprepared hospital systems for this deluge. texas has reported which believe to be the 1st known omicron related death in the us. do we know yet whether on the cross is more deadly than other variants? we don't know that for sure, cherry. but in many cases, this 1st death that's confirmed to arman cronin us is a metaphor of lots that come this was an unvaccinated individual who was previously exposed naturally, but because of unvaccinated and on boosted it kind of confirmed our predict greatest prediction and fears. very serious e l. death. if not vaccinated, he got re

c. the u. s. president consulted with european allies, the leader of germany, the leader of france, as well as britain and italy. and what we're told is that they really try to get on the same page in terms of what they want to see from russia. and that is respect for ukraine's territorial, as well as it's a sovereignty. so this is something that is being conveyed by the u. s. president. there is also going to be a request for a di escalation attentions and an attempt to return to diplomacy. the u. k. has implemented new travel restrictions as a result of the new cove. at 19 variants. people traveling there will now need to show a negative test result within 48 hours of their flight. at least 4 people have been killed by an explosion in iraq, southern city of basra. the blast happened near a hospital. several other people were injured. the saudi coalition in yemen says its launch several last rites against military targets, and the capital sinner becomes after forcibly intercepted and destroyed m

we're joined by dr monica gandhi, infectious disease specialist with u c s f dr gandhi. you know, this is not the first time we have faced a new covid-19 variant, more people are vaccinated than ever before, and i want to start with this person in minnesota the second case here because they did travel to new york recently and up until half an hour ago, new york said they did. don't have any cases. now we know that there are five across new york. doesn't that signal that omicron has been already spreading within the us for some time now. yes it really does indicate that it's been spreading in the u. s. which in a way was this has been such a hat week. but thanksgiving, you know was the day that it was first detected from south africa scientists that very soon thereafter. netherlands uk, canada, portugal, italy and israel and now in the us, at least. eight cases, so it's really actually indicating. it's been here for a while. multiple places for a while. it's just that you have to do this genomic surveillance sequencing to look for it, and now we are so hopefully we'll be

c. u. s. revived and sanction lifted in how far this will benefit the iranian people at large. because after the implementation of implementation of the j. c. k. in january 2016, where we have economic growth that came back that came on the backdrop of revitalized oil exports. it is exactly what the iranians are also now aiming for. as you also suggested, that the money did not trickle down on to the average iranian, so that's income inequality had in fact, risen. so it is very unclear what's the song republic will do with the money in the wake of a revival in how far it will benefit the iranian people. all right, well now iran and the united states are not actually holding direct talks, but time is taking now around one's guarantees that the u. s. won't pull out of any deal in the future. and they also want the easing of sanctions and controls, which is a thorn in the side for the us. now, how much to the u. s. and around actually one this deal though. well, it seems that the buy demonstration is still very much interested to see the j. c. p o, a revived, but also patient is ru

now evidence has come to light that some c i, a employees have been involved in child sex crimes and trove of documents has revealed an apparent failure by the u. s. government to prosecute. c. i. a employees suspected of child sex abuse, or to the return of comments more than 3600 pages of deeply disturbing material. 75 of them ever more. so the parts of the trove logging sex crimes against children committed by at least 10 c. i, a employees and contractors in the worst of cases against very young children, had inappropriate sexual activity with an unidentified 2 year old girl submitted to having inappropriate social contact with that. then 6 year old on 2 separate occasions, the personal evaluation board voted unanimously to recommend termination and revocation of his clearances. the eastern district of virginia u. s. attorney's office decline. prosecution of placed on taint issues. this individual whose identity was clothed by a code name along with everybody else was fired but never charged according to the papers. another ca, employee was caught with thousands of inappropriate images of children on his work laptop. the agency employee had us

um, like the crystal clear data based statistics published by the c d c and the u. s. they've showed that although vaccines haven't prevented coven 19, or it's spread complete, lay there unvaccinated. people are still 5 times more likely to test positive for the disease than vaccinated people are, and more importantly, unvaccinated people are 10 times more likely to end up in the hospital and 10 times more likely to die. so does being vaccinated guarantee you won't get covered 19 or, or maybe even die from it. no. but for at least a while may be a long while back seen. certainly do stack the deck a lot more in your favor. m. r science corresponded derek williams. there, i'm seeing there's the in berlin, that's it for our show today. thanks watching they helping their importance to the economy is huge. but getting hold of them is often a dirty business. critical commodities make us mobile, make our smartphones smart. how can today's global hunger for lithium cobalt and more the satisfied made in germany on w. how long does a or an eternity time it can be measured precis

regard to thought that europe you see importance or political importance of, of european union and the c u. s. not really having very high on their list of priorities. international, the balkans and bosnia. so don't it is actually a very correctly judging that he perhaps might even go through with all these things get going without a real sanctions or are there warnings to him. there are even sits said in a lloyd the sanction, or even if it seems like you're saying that he's seeing him on that end and he's seizing it. mr. vitaware, would secession necessarily mean war? some have decide describe the status quo is akin to keeping bosnia and herzegovina on life support as opposed to, to, to really curing the problem. while i mean, we have to understand on the one side there, as i said, i mean this, the, these threats are here for 15 years. dozens of times we had these threats on this by the, the, our as national assembly for it's of succession, a referendum. what do you have never been that years now? these are the most concrete and for this going step. and the notion that has creeped under the

u. s. kimberly, because last week, washington d. c. well, the hotspot for code cases and now we're hearing that there are multiple places that are considered hot spots. yeah, we are really seeing numbers that we've not seen since the early days of the pandemic in a number of key states. new york, delaware, hawaii, massachusetts, puerto rico, and also new jersey, all exceeding the 7 day averages in terms of records that we had in place in the last 7 days. and this is particularly concerning to public health officials because of the strain that it puts on hospitals and the already fatigued medical workers who hurt now into their 3rd year of dealing with the coven pandemic. but we've also seen other instances where this is playing out in a negative way and that has to do with the busy holiday travel season. as you mentioned, flight cancellations have been a huge problem by the thousands because there simply aren't enough employees, particularly those at the ticket counter to check people in. and so what we're hearing from a number of trav
