the political standoff or the misery. 4000 stuck here, ending soon as i beg, i'll, missouri, poland. the world health organization says deaths from coven 19 have risen 5 percent in europe in the past week. the highest numbers being reported are in russia, britain, and germany. more than 52000 people tested positive in germany on a wednesday. that's a new record. 2 thirds of germany's population has fully vaccinated a relatively low number compared with its neighbors. crowds in the czech republic of rallied against new government measures aimed at curbing the spread of coven 19 on monday. people not vaccinated against the virus were abandoned from public events and from accessing some public services. almost 58 percent of the population is now vaccinated. covered 90 measures in new zealand are set to ease at the end of the month from mid december. people living in the largest city of oakland will be able to travel outside for the 1st time in 4 months. like in many other countries.

we would have been seen a year over year over year rise in our fentanyl related death. and now the latest player is methamphetamine related. so fentanyl is to just synthetic of your friends and we're talking about here is a list of small cynical version. it's super potent. it's about a 100 times as potent as morphine by weight makes it 30 to 40 times as potent heroin. it's been infiltrated into the heroine supply as an adult friend. 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 it, spreading geographically at the same time. methods don't mean to come in as up as a new pure, more potent version. and that's spreading from the western half the country to these and half the country. so those are the, those are the main forces that are driving us up. lot more so to come here now to

sierra will get a live update on severe flooding in canada where authorities of warning there's more rain to come on pollution from cause industry and agriculture triggers to help emergency across large parts of south asia mornings. ah hello, then let's look to north america on a winter. snow storm has been dominating the weather story. here you can see the cloud cover as it sweeps from west to east. now its cause severe flooding in pots, western canada as well as the north west of the u. s. but as it's moved away, it has dried up here that remains raw the cold. and you can see the snow that's lingering. but that system has brought plenty of snow to the canadian purposes, bringing what to weather as well, to the great lakes and ahead of it. it has been rather warm across at east coast

temperatures, above average for new york and washington dc, but have a look what happens as it sweeps through as temperature dipping down for toronto as well. we'll look at a 3 day for washington dc. it's gonna be well below the average and quite a dip from $20.00 to $8.00. by the time we get to sat today, it will remain cloudy. now as we look to the west coast, we've got more of a wintry mix pulling into washington, oregon, idaho, as well. as montana, so lots of snow expected here. it's down in the southwest that things are looking a lot quieter and comma the deep south to accept full florida. we've got some heavy rain coming and it's expected to stay. or we can, thanks to this blotch of rain that spring heavy showers. you could turn peninsula all the way to the bahamas. that to weather update. ah, an african narrative. mm. from africa

injured by live fire and tear gas. the receptive state has reiterated cold for cease fire in ethiopia, conflict expressing concern the wall could spill over to the horn of africa. anthony blink, and made the comments and kenya's capital. during the 1st leg of his africa tool and bella russo set up shelters from migrants and refugees stranded on the border with poland. thousands of people trying to reach the e. u. i've been living in make shift camps defense lawyers in the u. s. murder trial of car rittenhouse of asked the judge for a mis trial. even as the jury considers a verdict, the 18 year old is charged with shooting protest is killing 2 people and injuring another during racial justice rallies in wisconsin last year. written how says he acted in self defense, which on hendrick, joins us live now from canada in wisconsin. john, so the prosecution's been pushing for a mistrial. in this case. just bring us up to date with what's been happening. it's been in vento but inconclusive day. after the 2nd day of jury deliberations,

the jury has gone home. they are not going to finish tonight and they've been focused on video. they apps the judge if they could review some of the video. in this case, the judge said, go ahead. view it as many times as you want. that happened over the objection of the defense. the defense did not want them to see it over and over because of course it shows kyle rittenhouse fatally shooting to man. and then maiming a 3rd, he claim self defense. so the crux of this case is whether he was justified in those confrontations. a, his complaint was that he was being pursued and that he had to fight back in his words, to save his own life. and it's the video that he's at the center of this miss trial issue. the defense says that the prosecution gave them a low resolution version of drone video that really captures much of what happened that evening. the judge doesn't seem inclined to grant that mr. nobody's taking it under consideration. that's actually the 2nd time the defense has asked for

a mr. ali did so 1st in writing and then verbally this afternoon. and as all of this has been happening, kyle written house has been sitting in that courtroom, looking a little bit nervous. his lawyer says he is indeed nervous and that he knows that he will be taken away immediately if he is convicted on any of those 5 charges, which range from reckless endangerment, with a sentence of up to 12 and a half years to 1st degree homicide with a sentence up to life in prison, and there are some, some charges that they have to consider if they don't convict on those top charges . so there's a lot for the jury to consider. they're going through the evidence. they seem to be taking it seriously. but of course, after the verdict in the courtroom, there will be a verdict out here in the streets of canada. and it's already gotten rough just a little bit ago, there was a confrontation between a protester and a counter protest. her one guy was body slammed, police arrested 2 people happened all in the space of a few minutes, but of course that's how this case began with

a group of armed counter protesters meeting up with black lives protestors on a warm august day and 2020 and that's when the conflict cap and police and others here are hoping it doesn't happen again when the verdict comes down this time. all right, john hendrick lie for. stay in kenosha and wisconsin. john, thank you for my you as president donald trump's long time advisor, steve bannon, as pleaded not guilty to obstructing a congressional probe into the january 6 capital riot, he's charged with defying a request to give evidence to a us house panel. abandon was charged last week by a federal grand jury. he's bound to fight it and says, the prosecution is a politically motivated attack against him. and you must judge a sentenced a writer to 41 months in prison for his role in that attack on the capital building . back in january, jacob chancellor gave himself a nickname, the shaman, for the horned address he wore prosecutors off for a whole sentence to set an example. chancellor pleaded guilty to participating in the storming of the senate to try and stop the certification of president biden's

election. when now 2 men convicted of assassinating american civil rights leader malcolm x are set to have their names cleared. after more than half a century, the new york times reports that mohammed disease and the late julio islam are being exonerated, following an investigation by their lawyers and prosecutors both spent decades in prison. the investigation found the fbi i in police withheld key evidence that would likely have led to their acquittal. this includes documents pointing to other suspects. malcolm x was shot dead during a speech in new york. in 1965. the canadian air force has been deployed to british columbia to help clear block roads after flooding in the state. canada's largest port has been cut off, and thousands of people are stranded. 2 days of heavy rain triggered mudslides, leaving one person dead and 2 missing. several towns have been completely isolated and there are reports, food supplies are running low, more rains expected in the coming days will jody vans joins us live now from

vancouver, jody. so we understand that a state of emergency has now been declared. what does this mean on the ground and how will it help the rescue effort? jody. well, a state of emergency being declared provincially and not unusual over these last couple of years. we had a state of emergency declared for kind of at 19 than one with the wildfires 4 months ago. and yet again now with these unprecedented floods, as you mentioned, some cities cut off completely. it's not unusual for highways to be washed out one here, one there perhaps in a weather event. what every highway is, is washed out currently or been hit by a mudslide. completely flooded, impassable, at the very least as are some of the train route sepi. rail roots are also damaged with debris and mud slides and, and damage that is only now being assessed. so supply chain is a concern within the state of emergency that was declared by premier john horgan here in british columbia. it gives the government the ability to take his some rather extreme measures without going through the legislature. and that usually has

to have the processes at clay, they can prohibit non essential travel. they can um, guard against hoarding. you mentioned empty shelves and, and food supply issues. they're trying to have citizens remain calm and assuring that that supply chain, establishment, or reestablishment, if need be, is a top priority clearing outweighs for things, goods and services, and essential items to move about the province. and indeed, across the country from the major port in vancouver to the rest of canada. currently, the only way to get to the rest of canada from metro, vancouver is to go through the united states. they were also concerned about price gouging as well. something that the state of emergency guards against it's about infrastructure, it's about being able to take control of certain areas if need be in activating and the need to use heavy machinery in some areas in situations that otherwise

would take time to, to gather. so really this, it gives the government of british columbia ability and opportunity to do what is most necessary in the most urgent of fashions. it starts with rescuing the people who have been trapped and unable to return to their homes or those who have lost their homes completely and have been evacuated and to help them then as these flood waters. hopefully some side, somewhat a bacon, assess the damage and then use the canadian forces to clean up and to rebuild. and this is a story that is ongoing, as you said, more rain in the forecast here on the west coast of canada or a tor jody vans life or stay in vancouver. jodi thank you. air pollution is affecting the lives of millions of people across south asia. clouds of small gar enveloping countries including india and pakistan. and india's capital new delhi schools have been closed indefinitely than many businesses of shop at doors. the equality and the hor, in pakistan's, even worse monitors recently rank
