Guests. What should we do with that vaccination . Should be obliged to you for that. Have the vaccination, we should functionary sheets were not what most people would actually do. The liberating convention of one of the things compounding the humanitarian disaster of these mobs in this country and refugees return home to number in a car bomb. As russian peacekeepers secure the only route linking the region to armenia, r. T. Takes the trip and test its safety. Watching our 2 international. Thank you for joining us. We are global news update this hour blood loss and competition. Killing may have provoked Australian Special forces to murder 39. 00 afghan civilians. Thats according to a new inquiry. And some killings appear to have been part of an initiation ritual for new troops. There is credible information. The junior soldiers were 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. So essentially, the general idea behind this report is that some rogue soldiers, some rogue members of most elite astray in his unit s. A. s, that they have been fusing excellence, military excellence with eagle, with pride, and well with indiscriminate killing. Heres how a top defense official of australia described the atmosphere of the dominated in this unit. The report finds that some Specialist Service ridge went 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 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 theyre all saws and 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 the like if theres a, if theres a heated shootout going on, then if its you or me, if its kill or be killed, then world could be absolved of some of the over some of its actions that later, you know, looking back in hindsight, dont look as good as, as good of a decisions as these 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 killing was made into a sport. You say it was happening again and again, what was happening . What sort of actions are we talking about . It was killing as a sport. Also the report interesting me enough, it absolves it seems to absolve the highroad commander suggesting that the higher up officers officers high in the hierarchy they did know that was taking place some difficult and disturbing information to learn to everyone who condone history is involvement in afghanistan. Especially given that they went in, that they intervened in this, in this conflict that 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 look around to bigotry and intolerance so that the report suggests punishment against 19, members of our say, yes. So this is the number. So well have to see what legal steps and what legal action will be taken in the wake of this probe. International Affairs ProfessorSophia Mcclellan says, many foreign soldiers actually disregard for afghan lives. The word 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. The u. S. Death toll from coban 1000 has now surged beyond a quarter of a 1000000. And factions have reach a 6 month period and the virus is now killing one american every minute and response. New york city is tightening its restrictions on closing all Public Schools for thursday, or than a 1000000 students will be moved to a Distance Learning level. Parents agree with the decision it causes a lot of friends and very sure as we really dont have to go down just yet, a kind of please dont do this to us. Please keep the school. Children are a little sad, its closed. 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. New yorkers are now anticipating further lock downs and stockpiling. Essential goods. Some supermarket chains struggling to keep up with demand. Even put limits on the number of items shoppers can buy, and hospitals across the country are under severe strain as are teens killed and reports. Number of covert cases across america now stands at roughly 11000000. In addition to that, 250000 people have died. We now have bloomy 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 in its ok for us to be exposed. But you have doctors. You do not even coming near. You cant get exposed, but we cant hear a ya make anonyma leg. 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 coded 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 an issue that patients be in nursing as well. Do you really worry about a nurse or now . Nurses are exhausted across the street and everybody in that house and having to turn and we have asked people to really be heard and to earn 1000 of their time to their positive. Then were going to turn around and go to work that we are totally counting any of our respects and the credibility that we have delivered community. You know, i dont, 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. What do 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 and the only reason people question the vaccine now is because of donald trump. 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 how the doses are going to be administered. Is it a single dose of the dose, like how frequently, whats 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. Art see new york. The u. K. Is considering whether or not to make code vaccinations mandatory once theyre available. A Government Survey has found was half the population would support such a move. And a senior lawmaker says those who refuse could face restrictions. 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. The conservative politician also mention previous cases when unvaccinated passengers have been barred, entry from certain countries implying that a similar thing could happen. This time, his comments have drawn widespread outrage online. Some expressed doubts that coated vaccines will be safe. Others predict it large share of the population will simply refused to get the jab. In all in denmark, a draft epidemic law could let police force the vaccine on parts of the population, but it may backtrack on the plans following mass protests. We took to the idea of mandatory vaccinations to a panel of experts. Im sorry, north against vaccinations, 101 city. My son was partly the situation since we should holies fascinations were necessary. Its made by this fact since cheney is to be approved yet. So this law is playing fast tracks and also great bizarrely. The plane governments are 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 its not like, you know, 56 years ago when you make a choice as to whether or not you have actually in rio, raised a major threat, make a Public Health threat and theyre frightening the 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 final for a terry intends to at what do you respond to people who add to that. And lets assume for one moment we have the facts, 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 crawling through companies coming in there making loads of money on it. Who knows whats really behind them. So now actually there is, there is sufficient and i would be right if they were christians openly my view, i think there and, and he baiting there and creating an issue where those that were like myself really wanted to go ahead with this rocket for getting direct bigger and bigger american units, right. In the meantime, we think you could convince the rest of the population of the worst thing that you can do is a new sport that would simply confirm people who cross. There were actually create core and more problems in the long run. And that if you read a little bit, basically its the same discourse actually should. Because if you cant get over, we are talking to a public transport, were going to rush or toward records. If you thought about actually wish most people going to meet those we are or even total total really 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 that not enough . Or do we really need to stray into as people are saying, this realm of to konya north stepping in a stepping on the toes of peoples liberties . Well i think that if we continue the way we are already getting on people who clearly i would rather not wear a mask and i would rather not push a wee bit. And through the rest of my life, i would rather every vaccine answer with millions will equal i think most people that i know from their backgrounds, you know, are actually very happy to get them actually in the aa hope that there will be on the route to get back to normal real right. Instead of the present circumstance which take a free kick for freedom and liberty the way. So most people are vaccine is a liberating intervention. And i think its re still e. To say that we dont need a vaccine. Police have detained at least 20 protesters in the armenian capital and an ongoing wave of unrest or a Peace Agreement with us or by john. Demonstrators formed a human chain blocking several roads in the center of year of and calling on Prime Minister to resign. Police moved in to break up the line and traffic is now moving again, as well as a repeat of protests across armenia over the newborn true signs. Last tuesday. That deal was brokered by russia to end 7 weeks of deadly fighting in the disputed region. Many armenians see the treaty as capitulation, as it allows azerbaijan to hold on to its military gains, including the city of shushi. Armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts to baku in all refugees are returning to cut off. And russian peacekeepers are securing the key highway, connecting the area with our media, our test of the route himself. 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 road, 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 afresh. And peacekeepers really had convinced that said by john to let mean refugees written it turned out to be a very cautious dr. 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 meters at this point. The roads are treacherous. If youre a refugee, though it isnt the fault youre afraid of. Neither is it the bad routes. The end exploded munitions or the bodies of the dead. Its still leaving that scale you just over a week ago. This was a fiercely contested front blood. 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 a judge 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 at 1st few willing to trust the other side. We heard that there were azerbaijanis about ambushes here. I didnt know if it was true or not, but now i know everything is fine here. When am i afraid . Of course im not of a threat is what is there to fear when youre driving under a russian flag. The situation is that booth side 2 were at war just over a week ago, have to share the same stretch of road. And its up to russian peacekeepers who patrol the road and who is stationed at various points to prevent the 2 sides from taking revenge on civilians or harassing them. It took a lot of work, but russian peacekeepers were successful. New weapons are allowed, not even for as they did by johnny was i mean the troops, everyone searched every vehicle, inspected every weapon, confiscated here we filmed a small, is it about johnny military convoy pass immediately after because carrying armenian refugees, which by itself was unimaginable. 2 weeks ago. Its not that i havent been home in 15 days. Were going back now. Thank you. Everything is going fine. Thank you. But everything changes. If you would have believed russian peacekeepers and i did it by jonny outposts, would be situated metres apart. Or that by johnny troops would be barbecuing food and setting the table as armenian refugees returned to carry the signal that we have had no difficulty with the neighboring outpost. We have very good relations if they need something, we help them. And if we need something, they help us everyones playing by the rules. The ceasefire stands and thousands of people are returning to their homes. Their previous lives more. I guess the of from the garden account of the Un Refugee Agency is warning of a full scale humanitarian catastrophe in ethiopia. More than 27000, people have fled to neighboring countries from civil war in the north. And the government is battling the Peoples Liberation front, after accusing it of attacking a military base authorities, then launch a military offensive calling the alleged assault, an act of treason, didnt we work for so many of us left . Everything can flat will came with just our clothes on our backs. I was severely beaten and tortured, and we were detained for 3 days. We near death from hunger and thirst before they released us. Children, adults, and pregnant women had been shot and thrown into the streets and be to a sticks after they took control of they stole all homes. Humanitarian situation on the border between ethiopia and sudan is quickly evolving and its extremely urgent. In the matter of a week, the u. N. H. C. R. Has already recorded more than 30000 refugees who have crossed from ethiopia into sudan. We lost everything our belongings, our livestock, everything. I do not know anything about my children. Because the world not see us now. Where when we go, where we just die, we barely escaped with our lives. I mean ran away, the, whoever did no
