12:07 am
woods. we were supposed to meet up with a smuggler and his car, but he never showed up. we stayed there for 3 days without food or water. we stayed inside the bell roost borders for 13 days. the polish police would not allow us to cross the border, and the beller was police would not allow us to go back to the city. we were trapped in the border. she's just one of hundreds of iraqis who paid smugglers out of desperation and were tricked by full promises. said one hurley is an activist who works for those who have been deported or repatriated. he says the smugglers have a sophisticated network that allows them to advertise their services, book audio, we can't afford to lose just a little below with the spread of internet and social media smugglers are widely using this networks to help facilitate the connection between smugglers and people they convince them with low prices and safe passes. but i have met with many who tell me that was a lie, that they were abandoned with no choice but to pay more smugglers when they arrived . they are charged with a $1000.00 in iraq and then anything up to $10000.00 in places like this. people

sell homes and cars and close, or borrow money from the loan sharks to afford the the kurdish regional government says, cracking down on people struggling networks. and in particular targeting travel agents who offer roots to europe. still, there's plenty of smugglers in business. it's actually pretty easy to find people with smugglers online. i've just joined a social media group called iraq migration into europe and head. there are lots of people offering their services. now the word smuggling is actually mentioned anywhere in the site. it's anyone, people pay that money that they realize what it is they've actually paid for. judging by the amount of people offering the service, the iraqis have a challenge on my hand to stamp it out completely. particularly as the smugglers are international networks across the middle east in europe. there's also hope that the scenes on napoleon bell response will stop people going to smugglers. but
12:09 am
people smugglers. i just one part of the issue. what still needs to be addressed is allegations of government corruption, mismanagement of resources and nepotism unemployment. the people say forced them to go to the smugglers in wrong con, out there are bill you at the news. i live from london national still i had for you on the program. we look at the race to reach more than 18000 people cut off by floods and months slides in canada. also, i'm seeing basra via an eastern depaul at the border with we're a conflict is brewing over to an in sport. find out why australia's test captain is not to step down just weeks ahead of the ashes. ah, what is the latest record breaking corona virus serge? overwhelms hospitals through parts of western europe. austria will become the 1st
12:10 am
country in the region to re impose a full national lockdown from monday, non essential shops will close and people will return to working from home. the scale of this outbreak is clear and the numbers the start of july, austria was recording an average of $79.00 cases, a day, infections, and started to rise slowly until exploding the metal over a month ago to more than 12 and a half 1000 daily average cases right now, officials say the on vaccinated partly to blame for this, and they are making vaccinations, compulsory from february onwards. this is the 1st country in europe to do this. just over 65 percent of the population has received both doses. this is one of the lowest rates in western europe. and latest crone of ours wave is causing ripples across the continent. germany is declared at emergency and at the netherlands has already imposed a partial lockdown as well. dominic cane reports now from berlin. since
12:11 am
monday, only those who can prove they've been vaccinated or had the virus have been allowed out in austria. but from next monday, even this will not be enough because ministers say the infection rate is too high. and the vaccination rate to low up more info from maxima, a nationwide lockdown will apply from monday for up to 20 days and will be evaluated after the 1st 10 days. it will automatically and on december 13th, at the latest than the lockdown for the vaccinated or recovered will end up alongside the lock down is another ruling from next february, every one in austria must be vaccinated, whether they like it or not, the 1st for any country in europe, across the border in germany, there are similar steeply rising trends of infection and death. newly agreed rules, restricting the movement of the unvaccinated are now in force. but nationwide hospitals are once again filling up with infected patients. it removes them yet that we need to change course. now there's really no time to lose. it's like
12:12 am
a tanker heading towards a harbor wall. if we immediately counter steer the tanker it will keep moving for a while and maybe even hit the side of the harbor wall. hopefully, however, it will not crash into it had on we must use all countermeasures. now. one of those counter measures is the vaccine. but like in austria, only 2 thirds of germans have had their shots so far. a total, the government says, is still too little to end. the pandemic, the right is a liner with infant. the truth is will be able to bring the we've quick enough with just vaccinations and posters. we need measures to limit contacts. we're able to agree on the sets of rules on thursday, which will take effect on federal states when the incidence of hospitalizations reach a certain level. in the 1st casualty of the new measures, look to be some of germany's renowned christmas markets. already the bavarian prime minister has cancelled all of his states festive gatherings in berlin. the markets are being prepared for opening day late this months. but many worry whether any
12:13 am
customers will use these stalls this year. in recent weeks, it seemed that were austria has led germany, his follow not just in terms of near infection rates and deaths, but also in terms of new measures to combat cove. it now that the government in vienna is imposing another lockdown on its people. the question many here in berlin are asking is, is another one here just around the corner dominant cane al jazeera in the german capital. oksana basic is a global health advisor electra at a school farmer, state university college and, and joins me now from london. how important is it that austria is going to become the 1st country in europe to make vaccinations mandatory? what are the implications of that? oh, well, certainly it is a, a step that it is for a reason that it's taken this long. and
12:14 am
a pandemic for 1st country to move towards is, is the last resort that any country really wants to be imposing on it citizens. however, due to the nature of this current rate of spread, the pressure on hospitals and i see you going into winter. i mean that there are few options that are available to, to leaders at this point in order to try to steer this off. and even, even with these quite drastic measures, it won't slow it down immediately because of the nature of exponential growth. does that mean that they're not likely to face much of a backlash against this live, despite what it might mean, perhaps for individual responsibility and, and personal freedom? some would argue because of the, the situation and the pressure facing health care system and hospitals will the response to this type of strategy will be different for every country culturally
12:15 am
speaking, as well as other factors to consider. i think however, the one part that will be common across all countries is that there will always be pockets of resistance and it will be nearly impossible to persuade an entire population. so there's always going to be a counter group. it's just the size of it that matters. and in this instance, we have seen that there have been protests and planned for further protests. but we also see that many citizens do not want the pandemic to be prolonged, or to lose any more life or further economic costs. one of the lessons that have been learned throughout this period is if you introduce a circuit breaker. if you move in quick and fast, it can by you time down the line. however, they do have a significant challenge ahead in terms of persuading this very resistant group to
12:16 am
towards getting the back seat of the communication strategies and outreach attempts have failed. and that will also be on the shoulders of the leaders for perhaps using too much of a blanket messaging rather than a more sophisticated, a nuance way to speak to people who have hesitations. certainly this will only could potentially fuel the anti vaccine movement. to some extent, but i do think again, people understand the cost of what cobra devastation can bring and how quickly it can spread. as you say, there is a cost in terms of health and people's lives, but also economic consequences to their being a 3rd national lockdown in austria, a very blunt instrument that affects businesses and the economy that we know
12:17 am
politicians wish to avoid. as we go into the winter months and infection on the start to rise, could we see locked down measures being imposed elsewhere in europe as well. literary discussions of this currently in places like germany that are also seeing keeping a very watchful eye on the rising hospitalization, rates keeping an eye on those. i see you bet numbers which we know are, are limited and specialists that are required to treat patients. also, we can to mass produce those. however, there is some optimism around a potential availability of certain antivirals, or for instance, by merck and farther. but the problem is that by christmas, even if it is approved by all of the regulatory bodies, the just the supply issue here, we won't be able to,
12:18 am
to get it to enough people. and you also have to have it quite early in that treatment. so that it's not as though there are many other options that are available to us at this stage. however, it does mean down the line. these types of blunt instruments may not be required as much in areas that have low vaccination rates because there will be other options, a more widely available in the future as well. so hopefully this is sort of the, one of the last rounds of such drastic measures that will be needed. but again, going in introducing the circuit breaker now, means that potentially is not as long later. and the u. k. has made that mistake several times in the past. thank you. on a visit, joining us that from london. thank you. the philippines, as among the last countries to re open it schools, often any 20 months of closure because of current large restrictions that united nations children's funds has that many filipino students are suffering from reduced

12:21 am
ireland inc. as in province, central filipinos, a jury is found us teenager kyle, which in house not guilty of murdering 2 men and wounding another. we the jury find the defendant. kyle, kyle beach, read health not guilty. teenager opened fire with a semi automatic rifle during black lives. massa protested con osha, wisconsin. last year he pleaded not guilty and says he acted in self defense. let's go straight to john hender now. who's live 1st and can i? sure, it's been a couple of hours since that verdict was delivered to tell us about the reaction while what we've seen reaction inside the courtroom that was kyle written house, who collapsed in tears of joy as those 5 not guilty verdicts were read. and we've also had a verdict across the country. the president,
12:22 am
united states has spoken and asked by reporters, did he understood that a lot of people would be disappointed and concerned himself included. but he said 3 has spoken and everyone has to acknowledge that that's pretty much the same sentiment we heard from the prosecutor. we also heard from mark richards, the defense attorney, who held a little news conference and said, among other things that the 4 days of jury deliberation were the longest, he'd personally experienced. and that they were in his words, torture. there's always a verdict inside the courtroom and a reaction out in the streets to these politically and racially charged cases. and in this case, outside in the courthouse steps, we heard from justin blake who called it in just that he was, you may remember the brother of the man, the black man who was shot by a white police officer. and that is what set off the protests during which the kyle written house shootings occurred where he shot fatally 2 men and wounded a 3rd. and we heard a number of people expressing that same sentiment that this was separate justice
12:23 am
for black and white americans. kyle, written house being white, having faced a jury of 11 white people in one hispanic. but we also heard from a number of other people's gun rights advocates who said they believe justice was done that coll rittenhouse was defending himself. we've had a pickup truck circling the court house block, playing the songs celebration with the windows all open. so we're getting a lot of different reaction, but what we're not seeing yet, it's very early in the day is the kinds of protest or clashes that happened in the summer of 2020. when this was all going on, that was a hot august day. this is it cold november afternoon, so that may be part of it and it could also simply be that it's only about 3 o'clock in the afternoon here. and that means the protestors tend not to gather in large numbers in any kind of disruptive way until late at night. these shootings happened very late in the evening on august day, i believe it was the 25th. and so,
12:24 am
so far were still waiting to see if there's a reaction. there are about 500 national guard troops who are on stand by the police have been taking a very. busy low profile approach and so far it remains quiet, but it's only been a short while since it came down. all right, well, thank you very much. and krisha, wisconsin, yon hendern reporting to us on that story. want to now take you to india because pharmacists celebrating after the prime minister under, under moody, announced his government, his provoking 3 controversial laws. they'd been protesting against the legislation for more than a year, saying it endangers their livelihoods. have any metal reports or gender corps is finally relieved. she's volunteering at the community kitchen in the outskirts of new delhi where she has been protesting with thousands of other formulas. she says it's been a difficult year for her. good me. it was hard but they go, nope, i bought

a supply electricity androids to come and go on and they did everything they could to make our life difficult. but we have finally won me foremost began protesting. soon after, in just parliament, past 3 agriculture laws, they see a feeble, big corporations and leads them was off. while some rallies ended in violent confrontations with police, 7 rounds of talk between farm was union and the government failed to end the standoff. until this sudden announcement, but prime minister marines remotely withdrawing the 3 controversial laws is my unique anthem in the parliament session starting later this month. we will complete the constitutional process to repeal these 3 agriculture laws. palmer, the credit rating this victory. but the, the announcement as the 1st step, almost set up these temporary structures. last year when they decided to camp out until the government rolled back the 3 laws. they said they only pack up and go
12:26 am
home once the parliament officially revokes them. they also point to critical issue . the prime minister failed to mention the $700.00 farmers who died during the protests and their demand to government guarantees them a minimum price for their crop. more these utah from the 7 states are heading into critical elections early next year. heated the writing on the wall he relies, unlike many of the people who are around him, that b j. b would not have a very easy passage in return for this, which is very crucial state. and could return of his party to power in 2024 depend largely on how they do in you'll be and he wanted to retain. you'll be a total cost and best to be as important. so as one job for that matter, movies announcement comes on the day of one of the biggest festivals for the sick community, which has been on the forefront of the farmers filter. and while that made it most significant demonstrate as they will continue this, it did. the promise to hold pre planned rally and will observe the 1st anniversary
12:27 am
of the pro just later this month. in the middle, i'll just leave you daddy. what the protest this fred from india's northern villages, the capital new delhi, became one of the biggest challenges to render modi's rule. the indian parliament passed the laws in september 2020 or forms anc farmers who march towards the capital. in november, the government met agricultural unions for talks the next month, but those negotiations ended in deadlock. protests intensified in january when thousands of farmers storm new delhi historic red ford on republic day and in september farm was announced plans to campaign against modi's b j. p. party which will fight elections into major states next year. or joining me now from london is unimportant men on a visiting metro university of westminster, who is a research includes indian politics. so tell us how these farmers managed to defeat
12:28 am
and increasingly authoritarian prime minister, who has successfully use the machinery of the state to crack down on descent. thanks for having me, my them. so you know, we have to dig into north bed. the pharmacy has been sitting very vague as a lend lease for over 365 days. so that's more than any are they have grieved to vendor including both extreme cold and he, they have mobilized from multiple different states and to farmers from the south of india, literally walk down today to show their solidity, with all the protesting farmers. in addition to that, there has been brutal, state suppression and violence which also included part of military forces against the farmers recently just less than 2 weeks ago, that was and b to b. and these son who has been accused of driving over not just protested, but also a journalist, so they have continuously been surrounded by
12:29 am
a lot of violence. in addition to this, the state bagged media has div wired. the protest does majorly, they have called them terrorists. they have called the militants, they have called them corresponding to a separatist movement, and they have accused them to be of being funded from abroad. so despite all of this though, farmer's setup, protest sites and camp sites, the conducted citizens inspired from the women of shaheen. bog, who conducted protest in was the majority ideas. and these protests were led by muslim men. and, you know, they have gotten tactics such as of organizing, sit in sessions, organizing libraries, organizing education, educative spaces within the proto site. making sure that everybody has access to food, water, electricity, despite the government's attempts to literally cut down electricity from these proto site, got down internet despite all of those, the promise resisted and their,
12:30 am
their efforts have to be come to fruit right now. and just to go to one line from the, from the protest was that what the i lament can do, can be undone in the streets. and i think we have a good example of that here. the timing is politically astute, isn't it? the that now the government of ner under mighty chose a buff anniversary of good who not, who is the founder of the seek religion, many of the farmers all seek. so it comes on this spiritual day from any of the form is if you like little so before state elections in the to production punjab next year. yes, this is definitely a cause for whitey, but at the same time in our democracy, we do see parties playing to their electric base. though fact he did it on, grew non oaks up, but they who is the wisconsin. the founder of sic ism, is massively important because he wants to appeal to the majority.
