russian army, hook our food and water and pushed us away and told us not to return. we'd been here 5 days with no food and water, and n g o work takes down my sewers, details a lawyer will help him sign a power of attorney and he completes a note formerly requesting asylum. they were quickly on, it'll soon become the y fi . in the next door cubicle, in obvious distress, alarmed ahmed hama occurred from northern iraq. i am not an e mail word from a d, and in an i c. u. bed on identified and unconscious. a 3rd man suffering the effects of prolonged exposure to cold weather. these men have been on a terrible journey drawn to bellow roofs, by the promise of safe passage to the

e. u. unwitting victims in a cynical standoff in which neither side much cares about their welfare. they may be signs of this crisis easing of conditions on the other side of the border improving of diplomacy working. but for the individuals in this hospital, on the polish side of the border, at least one of them lucky to be alive while they're stuck in a nightmare. and it's still unfolding. he is why the presence of human rights activists matters, polish border guards arrive to take them in a way dance fanny going to the okay. i say okay, so just be nice to them. be nice. okay. okay, and don't get nervous. poland is not a welcoming place for asylum seekers, and there are frequent reports of refugees and migrants being pushed back across the border. that's much harder to do now that they have legal representation.

we are following the start to make sure that there are people in the refugee crisis that the guards tab at their pc are going to be transporting the guard station and not to be pushed into the forest. are you worried that they might be pushed back into a better route? we are always worried about that beauregard headquarters is the end of the line for the men, for now under international law, they should be looked after here. there's no guarantee they won't simply be sent back. jonah haul al jazeera the of the polish border. meanwhile, nato 2nd general says they stand ready to help all allies caught up in the crisis dissertation out. the border o belarus with poland, but also the trainer,

and the latter is deeply concerning the new crushing cause. her shame use or vulnerable people as means to put pressure on other countries or is cynical and in her main nato stands in full solidarity with all affected alice, we remain vigilant and stand ready to further help our allies, when iraqis returned home from bella, rou, say, they not only faced terrific conditions at the border, but tricked by people smugglers who took advantage of their desperation. odyssey was him and con reports from arabic. in a single, he used to live in displacement camp in the hook in the kurdish region of northern iraq. she'd gone there off to a home in single was destroyed in the fight against deisel. she paid to smuggling ring to get us to europe. she is now back and another displacement campbell, after leaving bella ruth on a rocky government repatriation flight on thursday. she shows us mobile video of her time. the mother was born with poland. she says the whole experience was

horrific. if he can join kit cams company that got, we moved to turkey state for a month and then we got the visa for bella. ruth, so we went there. we stayed in the city for 4 days before setting off into the 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 bella, luce 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 false 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 product,

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, close out 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 smugglers online. i've just joined a social media group called iraq migration into europe and head. there are a lot of people offering their services. now the word smuggling is actually mentioned anywhere in the site. it's only when 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 and europe. there's also hope that the scenes and poland values board up will stop people going to smugglers, but 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 or be a jury has found us teenager, con rittenhouse, not guilty of murdering 2 men and wounding another. we the jury find the defendant . kyle: hey, kyle needs read house not guilty. he opened fire with a semi automatic rifle during black lives matter protests in kenosha wisconsin last year. written how said he was innocent or not that in self defense, the 18 year old was acquitted of all charges against him. let's bring in ronald sullivan. he's the director of the criminal justice institute at harvard law school . it wants us live from newton, massachusetts via zoom, ronald good, happy with her. so what's your response to the not guilty verdict?

did it come as a surprise to you given that written a house broke curfew in a city? he did not live in and was claiming to gaunt people and property he wasn't even familiar with? no, it didn't come as a surprise to me given the state of self defense law in the country i in when the evidence came in, it was a pretty straightforward cut and dry case of, of, of self defense. so i actually wasn't very surprised by the verdict yet, ronald and this case came about because of the black lives matter protest over the shooting of a black man. jacob blake, by a white police officer, will this verdict, do you think have any impact on the movement and is this a set back of sorts for racial justice in a broader sense? i do think it's a potential setback for racial justice. if we allow that case to be framed in that sort of way. so i would suggest that we refrain this verdict as

a specific case about kyle written house and the law of self defense in the gun laws of wisconsin. if we keep it in that narrow frame and not associated with broader claims of racial justice and then i think it will not have that negative effect. but many are already making the claim that this is a commentary. who on racial justice in america, where i think this was a simple case of the jury following its instructions for the better example of a case that might impact our racial justice. and it's much more related is the case that's going on in georgia. the arbitrary case. okay, and i'm ronald. i mean, many observers, dust important points you make because many observers will say, look, this is a white teenager who killed 2 white men and was found guilty found not due to by predominantly white jury. jacob blake's uncle said he rittenhouse was a black teenager, he would have been shot dead by the police and a heart beat. that's probably true. i. i agree with him in if i rittenhouse had

been a black man, he probably would have been convicted. i think that's a separate issue that's wrong, but i think that all criminal defendants should be treated in the way written house was treated. not written house treated the way that african american defendants are treated in the country. in other words, we are to aspire and push our criminal justice system to level up instead of level down. so those critiques are real and they are true. and we have to keep the pressure on such that every person who walks to the court room door receives the level a degree of justice that every white person in the united states receives one or just a final thought. you, i mean, let's remind ourselves, this was a high profile and politically divisive trial. it shop and the debate over gun rights in the u. s. the 2nd amendment, but will this bird do think, polarize the country even further? and could we now see civil lawsuits?

now being brought by the families. yeah, i think so. i mean, this verdict has a lot to do with a gun loss. and the proliferation of guns in the country. so written house, even at 17, was lawfully in possession of that buyer on, in the state of wisconsin. that's a problem i, that's a problem and that's a problem with the existing law, not with this jury and what this jury did. but we have to get a handle on these gun laws because a lot of these right wing are white supremacist groups in the us. unfortunately, i think you're going to pick up on this verdict even though written how said he's not part of it. and he's not a white supremacist, he distance himself from that movement. i don't know if it's true or not, but he certainly did after trial, the fear that they're going to pick up on his verdict as a rallying cry. and the gun laws in many states across the country are such that they can go places with guns and,

and i fear that it can revert into some sort of wild, wild west out here, ronald sullivan. really good to get your thoughts here. thank you very much. indeed for talking to our 0 thanks. want. thanks and take care. now these 2 people have been injured during what's been described as chaos in the dutch city of rotterdam, and he's fired warning shots and use water cannon. after protest against corona virus restrictions spiraled into violence, rules are being re imposed in response to a new wave of cases. police, a protest has burned cars, and through rocks and officers prompting them to declare emergency and shut down public transport. austria is become the 1st country and western europe to re impose a fool cove at 19 lockdown. it'll take effect on monday and is expected to last for 3 weeks. austria's also making vaccinations, compulsory from february, dominic came reports since 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 montague 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 vaccinate it or recover, it 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 midst us, we need to change course. now there's really no time to lose. it's like 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 him from the truth is will be able to bring the we've quick enough with just vaccinations and posters will need measures to limit context. 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 of this month. but many worry whether any customers will use these stalls this year. in recent weeks, it seems that well, 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 is now that the government in vienna is imposing another, locked down on its people. the question many here in berlin are asking is, is another one here, just around the corner dominant came al jazeera in the german capital min or the u . s. as all but approved cove at 19 vaccine booster shots for everyone over the age of 18 regulator say people who have had 2 doses of either the pfizer or madonna vaccine 6 months ago are eligible centers for disease control. director of support boosters just needs to sign off on the experts recommendation more than 31000000 americans have already received a booster. yes, president. jo biden's, $1.00 trillion dollars spending bill now goes to the senate after passing a divided house of representatives. the bill aimed at improving education, learning a health care costs and tackling climate change past 220 votes to to 13. the leading republican in the house, kevin mccarthy spoke for 8 and

a half hours on thursday night in order to delay the vote. so. so to come here now does air including the u. k. government moves to designate all of hamas as a terrorist organization. and iraqi security forces block bridges in baghdad to stop more people joining protests against disputed election results more nasty ah hell, i am pleased to say we have got signs of quiet weather now making its way into the pacific northwest of the us and that western side of canada, just around british columbia, we have got an area of low pressure here. so still some bits and pieces of sharon but not as wet as it has been without high pressure just starting to nudge its way through that will tend to push at wet and windy weather a little further east was. but do notice still some snow coming in over the high

ground if we make a way into sunday, but that north, west and corner the u. s. does look like he settled and sunny that dry weather pushes across into central parts. we got some snow just around the lakes. ontario could see some rather windy weather. was he go on through a sunday? nothing unusual for central and eastern parts of canada. having said that, but some very heavy ray just sliding down across the great plains, pushing towards appalachians, as we go on through the next day or so. joining up with that where to weather that we also have across the far south of florida, pushing across india competently some heavy down pools there into central america. still a few showers coming into cuba, maybe the shower too, into hispaniola, but for jamaica and the eastern alice. it does that, lottie. fine, and why? lots of pleasant sunshine temperatures, weather should be in kingston at around $28.00 degrees celsius. ah

roads, houses and bridges. several major highways are reopening to limited traffic, but most are still cut off. the military is not helping with rescue efforts. at least one person has died. well, gabriel is on those live for us in sou mass, washington state game. so it just took us through the extent of the damage there and how the cleanup operations progressing well, 1st started british columbia and canada, which is just about a kilometer. so behind me, in that direction, that's where the u. s. canadian border is at british columbia has been hit very hard. they are trying to clean up there. but as you mentioned, they are still also trying to reach people that are stranded or isolated. that rescue crews have not been able to extract from the areas that have been flooded. it's a city across the other side of the border over there is the city about 150000 people in canada. that's been the hardest hit area. a lot of farm land and farms have been

isolated as well, but the army in canada is being used there to help in a clean up efforts here in the city of sou mass in washington state. they're starting to clean up efforts here as well. but as you can see, it's hard because the storm was so strong that it derailed an entire train. and as you can see, that the waters were rushing in this direction so strong that it just burrowed under the entire tracks there. and so they'd have crews here for the last 24 hours, really trying to get this area cleaned up. but this just gives you an idea of how bad the destruction was here. the train derailment goes all the way back. as far as you can, the i can see back there. this is a town of only about 1500 people. about 80 percent of the homes were damaged, or partially just roy. the good news is, is that the vast majority of the people here were able to get out of here before the storm hit,

more than 75 percent of the people simply just left when they got those warnings to evacuate. so the human life here, i was very minimal in terms of the human life that was lost. it was only one person actually. but the destruction to the homes in the property has been incredibly strong. and on main street here completely shut down. it's a deserted because there used to be a lot of commerce between canada here and the, the u. s. that's all stopped because the border has been completely closed because of this storm. it's going to take a long time for this area to rebuild. but people here saying this was the worst storm they've seen, at least in 30 years, if not longer. all right, a gabler is on the line for 7 to mass in washington state. gabe, thank you. now the british government seeking to designate the hold of the palestinian militant group, hamas a terrorist organization home secretary party battelle announced the move in washington d. c. even the military wing of hamas is already prescribed by the u. k. as

a terrorist organization, the change would also cover the movements political wing. i'mma says the decision is biased towards israel and he bought as more from the home office in london. this is the clearest signal, yet the british government is unprepared to compromise with hamas. and now wants to designate the entire organization all of its different facets of wings as a single bond terrace organization. it's military wing, back in 2001 was designated as such. and now britain's home secretary, speaking of the united states, said that she was acting on new intelligence about her masses capabilities and out of a desire to protect jewish communities in britain and further afield. her math is fundamentally rapidly anti semitic, and she semitism is an enduring evil which i will never tolerate. anyone who supports or invites support for prescribed organization is breaking. the law that

now includes hamis. in whatever form it takes will in response to mass accused. the british government of being bias towards israel, half lost here with a she is a minister in the british government or minister and is i, you can do you want to create more problems for the sting as in an initial design. this is done by here, but i smell a steam, hence we will continue defending our the bottle and i think against the actual bishop. there was also some concern about the possible impact on grass roots organizations in garza that have been over the years, dependent upon hamas for support. a mass as well as its military and political wing that is governed garza since 2007 also has a social services wing that has provided a range of support to people in needs there, including fresh water and housing even covering people's rent when their homes were destroyed by israeli bombardments. there is some concern that the money needed by

these groups may well be stifled as organisations and supporters around the world seek to distance themselves from hamas. nevertheless, pretty patel is very eager to get this through parliament as early as next week. something that is very likely to happen, given the government's significant majority there. now hundreds of people are maintaining their protests against the outcome of last month's election in iraq. pro iran factions that fed pooley insist there was voter fraud and are threatening violence on this that grievance heard. mike went up to why it has more now from baghdad. for more than a month to now a process service i have been occupying, eddie, as near about god's degree in zone. these are supposed to dissolve the pre arranged and political parties that last many seats and october fundamentally election. the majority of them are members of the payment at the moment, a vacant orders, the ministry wings of there,

political leader of this address movement that has achieved the majority of seats in the election. he has any dec dish that idea. instead, he said he's only he stated that he's only willing to form a government to be based on the majority. and a quick reminder you can catch up with all the news on our website. there it is. saw your screen. the address address here a dot com, that's out here with our type of quick check at the top stories here. now to 0, poland says hundreds of refugees and migrants have again tried to cross a legally into you territory and courage by neighboring bella. bruce, some people found in poland forests are receiving medical treatment in hospital
