Australian troops. A shocking new inquiry finds as the u. S. Death toll from the pandemic passes a quarter of a 1000000 people Emotional Health care workers complain. Theyre devastated by it all and not least the risks theyre having to take. Were going to say its ok for us to be exposed. You can get exposed, but we cant make them out of like countries discussed. Mandatory vaccination is the solution to rising numbers of covert victims. We debate the issue with our guests and what should we do . That vaccination should be obliged people to have the vaccination, but we should only use fluctuations were necessary for most people back to the liberating new dimension. And one of the themes compounding the humanitarian disaster is the sheer ruggedness of these mountainous country refugees. Return home to nagornokarabakh. As russian peacekeepers secure the only route linking the region to armenia, r. T. Takes the trip and tests its safety. A very welcome. Youre watching r. T. International with me. Blood lust and competition. Killing may have provoked Australian Special forces to murder dozens of afghans. An inquiry has found and some killings appear to have been part of an initiation ritual. For some troops, there is credible information. The junior soldiers required by their patrol commanders to shoot a prisoner in order to achieve the soldiers 1st kill in a practice that was known as bloody. Well, im joined in a studio by a costar of to discuss this further eagle. Whats more, more is in this report . Well, just to give you an idea about the scale of this report, its more than 400 pages long. And all these, each and every single page of this investigation meticulously details. Every one of the 23. 00 incidents that the investigators have been have managed to uncover which world, which suggests that some potential war crimes happened during the presence of afghans. Most of, excuse me, australias most elite units in afghanistan. So essentially, the general idea behind this report is that some rogue soldiers, some rogue members of most elite history, is unit s. A. s. That they have been fusing excellence, military excellence, with eagle, with pride, and the world with indiscriminate killing. Heres how a top defense official overstrain described, the atmosphere of the dominated in this unit. The report finds that some Specialist Service ridgemont commanders in australia fostered within the s. A. s. What Justice Burton terms, a self centered warrior culture . A misplaced focus on prestige, status and power. Turning away from or from the regiment. Heritage of military excellence fused with the quiet humility of service. So to put it in simpler terms, a soldier was given a boost in status in the world, you know, within the unit for kills. So essentially, the more kills the movie elite, the more prestigious, the more respected you, you, you, you work. For instance, the 11 ritual that is described in this, in this document in this report, is that some new recruits were made were made to shoot prisoners compliant prisoners which were no longer combat tends to make their 1st kill. It was called blooding. And there also, theres also some evidence uncovered by the investigators that weapons were planted later on the bodies of these prisoners to make them look as if they were fighting back and so on and so forth. And also the report suggests that these kills that they werent made in the heat of battle. So you know how some decisions, like if theres, if theres a heated shootout going on, and then if its you or me, if its kill or be killed, then well, a soldier could be absolved of some of the, of some of its actions that later, you know, looking back and hindsight, dont look as good as, as good of a decisions as they seemed in the heat of the moment. That was not the case when it comes to the incidence that this report has been looking into. In fact, one of the investigators that was who is familiar with the matter. She said that the killing was made into a support. So it was happening again and again, what was happening, what sort of actions are we talking about . It was killing as a sport. So essentially like any sport discipline, you know, it has leaderboards, the same happened in afghanistan with the australian troops. Essentially they had killed boards where soldiers would put down their names. And then before them they would put the update, the number of people that they killed. There is that also the report interesting me enough. It absolves it seems to absolve the highroad commanders suggesting that the higher up officers officers higher in the hierarchy. They did know that was taking place that those, you know, appalling events, those appalling actions were taking place. And that was all covered up by, you know, by the, by captains, by sergeants, for instance, and so on. But these are not, this is not easy news for the australians, especially given that even before this report came out, other incidents had been, you know, reported on extensively for instance, like killing children, mutilating bodies, again, shooting compline. Prison is this one case that had been reported on earlier before. This report came doubt like when one prisoner of war had been killed simply because there was too little space left in a helicopter. So these members, apparently theres an allegation that they had shot someone just to get some extra leg room in a hellish. So theres that. So it is some difficult and disturbing information to learn to everyone who condone history isnt rule meant in afghanistan, especially given that they went in, that they intervened in this, in this conflict, the interim intervened in affairs to the tune of these words. Terrorism is based on evil intolerance and bigotry and new free societies such as australia and the United States can never buckle under to bigotry and intolerance. So that the report suggests punishment against members of our say, yes. So this is the number and it also suggests that compensation that the australian government, a financial compensation to the families of the afghan families affected by the events described in this 400. 00 more than 400. 00 page pages report. So well have to see what legal steps and what legal action will be taken in the wake of this probe, appalling allegations, indeed a washed out of thanks for coming in with those details. International Affairs Professor fear mcclellan says its clear. Foreign troops are simply dont care about the afghan lives. The war in afghanistan was always brained and a 2 pronged way while on the one hand accountability for the attacks of 911 arguments that afghanistan had been used as a breeding ground for terrorists. And on the other hand, in attack against the taliban, a humanitarian intervention, to save the Afghan People from a brutal regime. The reality is that none of the behavior that we have witnessed in these reports shows any serious care for the Afghan People. At no time do we get the sense that theres any concern for the future of the nation. And for the complexities of rebuilding a country thats been ripped apart by war since 979. 00. And in fact, in the, the afghanistan papers that were released are only just about a year ago. We found out that the u. S. Government was uneven really taking seriously counting civilian casualties. They didnt count the bodies of dead afghans because the afghan lives did not count in the war. And so i think we see, you know, a consistent pattern here where theres no accountability and no concern at all for the people one death to take over to every minute as the u. S. Is setting ever more appalling records with a new 6 month pick of coronavirus victims reach this week that makes even tougher lockdown restrictions. Increasingly likely. New york city is closing all Public Schools from thursday. More than a 1000000 students will move to distance learning, but its not all parents agree. It causes a lot of friends and very sure as we really dont have to cool down just yet, a kind of please dont do this to us. Please keep the school. Children were a little sad to close their thats what i asked for the carrots. Its super unfortunate that these kids are going to be denied an education, but we can go eat dinner inside a restaurant. And yes, it makes no sense to me out. Absolutely. And fears of strikes along downs of people scrambling to stock up supermarket chains struggling to keep up with demand have put limits on the number of items that shoppers come by. Arties can have more pain reports on a growing u. S. Crisis over the pandemic. The number of covert cases across america now stands at roughly 11000000. In addition to that, 250000 people have died. We now have gloomy predictions coming from scientists, saying that that number could double in the coming months with the virus giving no sign of abetting. Many hospitals around the country have been pushed to the brink. One nurse in texas told the horrors of overcrowded morgues. d we have noticed that is, its ok for us to be exposed, but you have doctors, we do not even come in even. You came here to follow, but we came here a ja making non of money. In fact, it has gotten so bad that in el paso, texas, its Prison Inmates whove been given the job of transporting bodies in north dakota. The governor has signed an order saying that medical workers who test positive for coated 19 should still show up for work as long as theyre not showing symptoms. Nurses are furious. Union leaders say this is putting workers in mortal danger. We really feel like it has a mission. He should be interesting as well. Do you really worry about a nurse or now the nurses are exhausted across the street and Everybody Knows that. And i think it started, we have asked people to really be heard and your current teen and their contact and im positive and were going to turn around. Im going to work with that. We are totally counting any of our respect and the credibility that we dont know about community or not. You know, for politicians though, the Public Health crisis is an opportunity to point fingers and blame each other. Joe biden blames the coronavirus deaths that have been forecasted for the next few months on donald trump and his refusal to concede the election. Furthermore, joe biden is saying that donald trump is the reason that Many Americans are suspicious of the vaccine, which you see as the biggest threat to your transition right now. Given president trumps unprecedented attempt to obstruct and delay a smooth transfer of power, more people may die. The only reason people question now is because of the now polls are showing that only about 58 percent of the American Public is willing to get vaccinated. And that is not going to change depending on whether or not donald trump is willing to concede the election results. If i took it, if some people might die again, with the mud down no vaccine. And some people might die in the future, like in 10 years. So even if it got tested that it was positive and it had no ill effect, i still wouldnt want to take it. I want to see what the actual effect of the doses are going to be administered. Is that a single dose of the dose like what the gap between doses. So just more information in terms of what the actual role of the covert 19 pandemic has devastated the country both in terms of Public Health and the economy. There is not much optimism right now, and theres not much hope that, a new administration in the white house is going to turn things around. R. T. , new york, with the number of covert cases also growing across the atlantic. Europe gauging Public Opinion making vaccinations mandatory. A British Government survey found almost whole of the population supports that. But despite significant opposition to an obligatory job, a senior m. P. s theres those who refuse should be banned from public places. If vaccination works, and if were confident its safe and all indications so far are good, then i can certainly see the day when businesses say, look, youve got to return to the office and if youre not vaccinated, youre not coming in. According to the ruling party will make a only vaccinated passengers should be allowed to use public transport. But that sparked a massive online backlash. Many still question the safety of an anti covert vaccine, while others note a mandatory job could only make things worse. Meanwhile, in denmark, a draft epidemic could let police force the vaccine on parts of the population. But it may backtrack on the plans following mass protests which took the idea of mandatory vaccinations to a panel of experts on sunday, march against vaccinations on one of city. My sons, partly the situation, even students. We should hurleys fascinations were necessary. Its made me suspect since cheney is soon to be approved yet. So this will always been fast tracked and also hurried. It was ali. The u. K. Government refused to ensuring its people cannot sue the manufacturers, will be company for anything which happens to be tomorrow. Hes as a result of this flaxseed, i think that were in a real emergency situation and that you know, 56 years ago when you make a choice, whether or not you have actually in rio raised a major threat. Make a Public Health threat by the and theyre tracking government. Its not really right. In speeding things up, people are worried that this essentially is kind of straying into the area of triclosan and nor a bit of health or a terry intends to at. What do you respond to people who add to that . And lets assume for one moment we have them fax, a nation which is safe. What should we do with that vaccination . Should be obliged people to have the vaccination. Well, there is no law in the u. K. That the government could use at the moment to make you know, bigotry. In fact, the 984 act which comes closest to it actually prevents the government requiring people to undergo medical treatment or vaccination. So there isnt a more, a lot of people are mistrust who are going back in because, you know, people are saying, well, theres all these Big Pharmaceutical Companies coming in there making loads of money on it. Who knows whats really behind them. So now actually theres, there is the patient and i would be right if they were christians, no, only my view, i think there and, and he baiting there and creating a mediation where those that were like myself, really wanted to go ahead with the rocks. Forgetting dick bigger and bigger, America Needs rotten mean crime. You can rent the operation because the worst thing that you can do is use chords that were simply confirm. People who destroyed the work to create quorum or call them in the long run. And then you can read it a bit. Basically its the same discourse, axillary should, because if you cant get over her title, public transport going to russia or toward earth, if you thought about actually wish most people going shed meet we or totally, totally, and states. If we got a hold on treatment rather than vaccination, and we kept doing what were all trying to do when mosques, why gloves, social distance, is not not enough or 2, we really need to stray into as people are saying, this realm of tacoma, north stepping and a stepping on the toes of peoples liberty. Well, i think that if we could do you know where we are, we already know people who clearly i would rather not wear a mask and i would rather not push and clearest in my life. I would rather have accidents, there were millions. I think most people die from their backgrounds. You know, are actually very happy to get them actually in the world are about to go back to a normal real life instead of the present circumstance which they call liberty go with it. So most people are back to that liberating intervention. And i think its very astutely to say that we dont need about you. Still to come this hour, the u. N. Warns of a humanitarian catastrophe. Great catastrophe anything opiah as tens of thousands flee civil war and then all but should renounce all sense. Pregnant women being shot and thrown into the streets and beaten with sticks, what will break down the conflict in the country off to this short break, stay with us . Traitor transferred to st. Simpson, exacerbating alarming everyone mindlessly. Actually what that means is we end up Picking Solutions that cost a lot, but actually drink very little. Its just a kind of fuel. Instead of the Actual Solutions that were tricks is your media a reflection of reality . In a world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation or community . Are you going the right way . Or are you being led . By what is true, what is in the world corrupted. You need to descend to join us in the death or a made in the shallows. Welcome back. And your group of refugees has returned home to home to the disputed region of nickel and i cower back under the truce reached between armenia and azerbaijan. Last week, russian peacekeepers have secured the k. Roads connecting the area with armenia, allowing dozens of buses and cars to pass through. Smart gas to have tested the road himself and brings us this report. One of the things compounding the humanitarian disaster here is the shia ruggedness of these mountainous country for the 10s of thousands of people who fled the fighting for them to return home. They need a safe route, but because of the fighting various segments of the routes to get about under the control of different sides. What the Russian Peacekeeping mission has been able to do is to make the achaeans key, corridor safe for all these refugees to return. So we went for a very literal test drive to see if its true. It fresh and peacekeepers really had convinced that said by john to let me and refugees written it turned out to be a very cautious drive. The other problem, of course, is the weather. These late in the year in november, december, it gets increasingly cold, increasingly wet and visibility is down to what . 20 reasons. At this point, the roads are treacherous. If youre a refugee, though it isnt the fault, youre afraid of, die there is at the bad routes. The end exploded munitions or the bodies of the dead. Its there leaving that scale you just over a week ago, this was a fiercely contested front glide. It still is a frontline in the room no longer contest that the next 19 kilometers off to the sun. Held by is headed by judd, through russian mediation. The sides have agreed to let all traffic through unmolested. Meenie and its headed by john, the military vehicles, civilians, or refugees, but 1st few willing to trust the other side
