you k prime minister is under renewed pressure over political ethics as increasing criticism over the lucrative 2nd jobs held by some members of parliament and burst . johnson's handling of the issue is raising questions about his leadership and judgment, who ran reports, westminster. ah, another he taught forest. johnson has shown an uncanny ability to swat away criticism and sail unscathed through political storms. but his seemingly teflon coating seems to be slipping in the face of an ongoing growl about the outside interests of some of his own and peas. wednesday, session of prime ministers questions was a tempestuous affair. everybody else is apologize for him, but he won't apologize for himself. i coward, not a leader. was to speak with him. my party misbehaved. i kicked them out when somebody in his party misbehaves, he tries to get them off the hook. well,

it wasn't willing to do is to work together on the basis of the independent report or by the 3 digit standards in public life to take things forwarded in the pm's attempt to turn the criticism back at the opposition felt foul of the speaker. i am not going to be challenged. you made the plan. is this the dra glenn times? i mean, john and that was just the start of it. after lunch, johnson was subjected to intense christening by members of parliament, powerful liaison committee, among them. chris bryant, the chairman of the very standards committee that johnston had tried to replace 2, it's 2 weeks since the prime minister himself ignited this firestorm by launching an attempt to change parliamentary rules to save this man. his friend and fellow conservative m p. owen patterson, patterson has earned more than a $100000.00 from his 2nd job as a consultant for healthcare company which it then one big ment contracts. there is

currently no limits on the 2nd jobs that an m p can take on no limit in terms of the amount of money they can earn from those outside interests or the amount of time that they can spend on them. but there is an outright ban on paid advocacy despite the fact that the line becomes somewhat blurred when talking about defining what consultancy is. however, some campaign is believe the route over 2nd jobs is distracting from a bigger issue. that is how many potential breaches of ministerial standards actually go on investigated? this is the really worrying part. and this goes to the hearts of government. we actually need changes in the legislation, see, address all of those areas. and that leads big bold steps by government far beyond what we're seeing in this current debate around m p 2nd jobs. johnson has been forced on the defensive. his conservative and peace are in turmoil, and his opinion poll ratings are slipping. the one thing that does have cross party consensus is the sense that johnson has brought all this upon himself. po brennan,

al jazeera, westminster, a self declared q. non shaman has been sentenced to 3 and a half years in jail for his role in the u. s. capital riot, fetch. 4 year old jacob chancellor was among the trump supporters. he tried to stop congress from certifying results of the 2020 presidential election. he became one of the most recognizable figures from the january incident picture to wearing horns and a baskin head dress. chancey was a prominent supporter, the baseless online q, a non conspiracy. his sentence is among the longest given in connection to the right so far. donald trump longtime advisor, steve bannon has been pleaded not guilty to obstructing a congressional probe into the right. he's charged with defying a request to give evidence to us house panel. alan was charged last week by a federal grand jury. he's about to fight it and says the prosecution is politically motivated. attack against him for america, jury and abrasions event

a 2nd day in the us mad. a trial of kyle rittenhouse, the 18 year old is charged with shooting protest is killing 2 people and injuring another during racial injustice rallies in wisconsin last year. britain house as he acted in self defense escalade mounted john hendern, who is in kenosha, wisconsin. now what's nicest on the trial, john? well, we're near the end of day 2, and the jury seems focused on video. they've asked the judge if they could re watch some of the video in the case and there are many. and he said, yes, not only can they watch them, they can watch him as many times as they want. that came over the objection of the defense which was concerned if they watch it too many times, they might over emphasize one piece of evidence and there's one key bit of video in there. it's a drone video that shows the entire shooting. this is when kyle written house fatally shot to men and maimed. 3rd, he claims it was self defense. they were chasing him and there was

a conflict. and so that is what the jury is deciding based on that video and in a related move. the defense has asked for a mistrial, for what they say is prosecutorial misconduct. that key drone video that everybody is looking at. they say they got a lower resolution version of it than the prosecution had. and they say that simply not fair. i spoke to a lawyers that he's never heard of a case being overturned on that basis. now, while all this is happening, cow rittenhouse is been in the courtroom listening to those arguments, looking a little nervous and his lawyer says he is nervous because he knows that if he's convicted of any of these charges, he'll be immediately taken into custody. and the jury has its work cut out for it. there are 5 main charges, ranging from reckless endangerment all the way up to 1st degree murder. and that comes with a potential life sentence. so the jury seems to be taking its job seriously, but it could be a while with him just beginning to look at that video right now. there'll be a in the court room eventually, but there will also be

a verdict right out here in the streets of canoga. remember, this all started on a hot august night in 2020 with a group of protesters and a group of counter protesters. and this being the united states, they were armed people on both sides. and that's when this conflict happened to when the verdict comes down, there are likely to be some protest and there's no telling what will happen then. but you can expect that there will be armed people on both sides once again. john hendrick, thank you very much indeed. you outbreaks of bad trade have been reported across europe and northern asia. it's called the attention of global health officials. up to 21. people in china reportedly contracting the virus and as migratory, birds had north for the winter fears growing, the virus was spread further. tourney chang reports from bangkok. ah, this is a chicken farm with the difference. the birds of fighting talks for adam raised for the ring. not the retiree and they sell for up to $30000.00 each across asia. and

the middle east anita garden job shows me his prize fighter strong wings and a long neck. but the birds need an extra barrier against infection and a given a bath in water impute the tumor and top of the vaccines. they've already had. the latest outbreak of bird flu doesn't just threaten his livestock, but also the international market on which he relies on the gateway. and i can't sell these chickens and thailand because the fighting pits are closed. so i have to so my beds in another country. there's another outbreak i may have to close down my business. if you look on. the bird flew out break in europe has now forced these geese inside. bread for their fatty livers for the luxury patty juan gruff. the farmers can't risk an outbreak from wild migrating birds outside in thailand's wet markets. the poultry may not be as valuable, but here, probably more than anywhere else. they know how costly bird flew can be back in 2004. when bird flew hit thailand for the 1st time,

they had to co more than 60000000 birds, devastating for decades. what had been at the time, the largest poultry expo business in the world. in recent days, outbreaks have been detected along with a new strain. each $5.00 and $8.00 colds are already underway in south korea, japan and china, the only effective way to stop the spread. and in china, the new strain has already jumped into the human population. infections that have left 6 people dead, there is always a potential that one of these viruses once will adapt itself so it can jump to to humans. it could be one similar as the 1918 spanish root. as one b comes from birdson makes its way into humans. buddhists and thailand released captive birds for merit or good luck with the world still reeling from the impact of one animal born bars that spread into human populations. many will be praying this person bird flew, doesn't do the same. tony chang, al jazeera banker,

the 1st time more than a 100000 people have died from a drug overdose in the u. s. over 12 month period. a center for disease control and prevention estimated 100306 people died in the 12 months to the end of april. that's $22000.00 more than for same period the year before. it's a comparison in the same time period about 509000 people in the u. s. died from coven 19, and the death toll is almost twice the total number of years deaths during the vietnam war. the overdose is primarily down to opioids at the number of deaths increasing from out 56000 to more than 75000. the synthetic opioid fentanyl was involved in more than 60 percent of the overdose deaths, and there were increased deaths in all but 4 states. the states were the highest increase were vermont, west virginia, and kentucky. dr. daniel at stick around is

a professor of addiction medicine at the university of california, san francisco. he joins us live by zoom. thanks very much for being with us. oh, what do you think of the main causes for this big rise in overdoses? oh, well, we've had a 20 year. unprecedented climb in guest new drug overdoses. what's driving most recently is festival cove. it has had a huge impact have 18 months. but even if we took covert away, we would have been seen a year over year over year arrive in offense related death. and now the latest claim is methamphetamine related deaths. and tell us about more about fennel and why it's playing such a big part in this. so fentanyl is the synthetic of the friends we're talking about here is the list of small talk from cynical version. it's super potent, it's about a 100 times as potent as morphine by weight to makes it $30.00 to $40.00 times is

potent heroine. it's been infiltrated into the heroine supply as an adult friend as a, as a poisoning, if you will. in the eastern half the united states, and then the last couple years, it's pretty westward. and so one of the reasons why we're seen overdose just climbing, spreading geographically at the same time method instead of mean it's coming up as a new pure, more potent version. and that's spreading from the western half the country to the east and half the country. so those are the, those are the main forces that are driving us up. and what will measures would make a difference? oh, that's a, that's a $1000000.00 question. you know, we have tried last few years to apply some of the well known you know, yeah, interventions like on the rocks on distribution to help the peers intervene and an overdose event. we just need to ramp this up big time. we need more harm reduction

measures and the current administration for the 1st time and us drug policy history is promoting harm reduction. we need to create increase in the availability of treatment. they're still barriers in america based on income based on insurance status based on availability. we need to bring in more folks, so like myself, we're trained in addiction medicine and we need to more open up more clinic slots. and tell me about the, the effects of the pandemic. i mean there was told that oscillation was, was one of the factors that if that's kind of, if that sort of, there's less of the, you know, the not downs that something is it gonna get better next year? would you fix the thing is continuing to get worse? so the covey effect is profound. covered by itself, of course, has been devastating with its own morbidity and mortality. but in addition, there's the reservations throughout society that has increased all

indices of mental health. she, suicides, go up. we've seen levels of depression go up. it's all of course, due to socialize, lation, the human organism is social, and we have suffered a lot, not just in america, worldwide of course. why think 2021 is going to be an unfortunately a has another historic year over year climb in overdoses. i do hope that is covered is contained and controlled. now we will start to see overdose maybe 2022. hopefully by 2023. reverse. we do have greater interest in our humane drug policies in this country. very similar to those in many countries in europe where treatment is held and primacy, but also harm reduction code healthy folks who use drugs or stay alive while their lives evolve. and they see treatment at some point later in time. this

is become of the new stance of the binding ministration, harm reduction, treatment orientation in addition, or to balance with a supply reduction approach. dr. daniel security. thank you very much indeed for joining us. thank you. thank you. i and i continued tens of thousands of government supporters have taken to the streets in a show of strength following sundays, mid term elections, the handling it as a victory despite the government losing control of the senate. in what critics say was a crushing defeat, annual shawna is at the demonstration in buenos aires. this doesn't look much like at the feet that is not supposed to often mid term elections on sunday, which the government lost control. the senate lost control of many reasons of argona and suffered in the lower house of deputies. this is meant to be a show of strength. tens of thousands of freight. you do this of social group of
