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 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 from the podium bell response 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 and employment. the people say forced them to go to the smugglers. iran con out there are bill a jury in the us as phones co written house,

10:11 am
a surprise to me given the state of self defense law in the country. and when the evidence came in, it was a pretty straight forward cut and dry case of, of self defense. so i actually wasn't very surprised by the, 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, then i think it will not have that negative effect. but many are already making the claim that this is a commentary on racial justice in america. where i think this was a simple case of the jury following its instructions for the better example of

10:14 am
increased to more than half lebanese officials are being criticized for failing to protect the poor. by making essential goods like medicine, more expensive by the subsidies, but the state is nearly bankrupt and lacks the foreign currency needed to import drugs. the health ministry says $130000000.00 was being spent on medical supplies a month. and that's now down to 35000000 the international community has been helping with 8, but it's limited. we tar 3rd special aircraft the earlier this week and flew in 97 metric tons worth of basic supplies to help and to shore up the public system. but this will only last so long. we are seeing children dying needlessly from things like a fever. they didn't have the medications or they weren't affordable for them. they weren't available in a health facilities when the children needed at the most. some medicines are given

10:20 am
industries have now got no job, no job laws, which means people who are currently on vaccination won't be able to continue working. and the other thing that many people are protesting about are locked downs . now here in australia, melbourne did suffer the longest lockdown and there have been locked downs in other states and territories including sydney. and there have been much sure to lock downs in brisbin, adelaide and perth, and in high bought as well. the northern territory is currently has parts of this of the state in lockdown as well, which people is to do with cove. it's still spreading there. so people are protesting about a number of things. and it's also important to recognize that the pros, as to some extent, have been infiltrated by far right so far, right? political activists who are, you know, staging conspiracy theories as well among the protesters. so it's a range of reasons that people are protesting here in australia, it's interesting you bring up the,
10:21 am
the fact that the far reiser or infiltrates and some of these protests because to see so many people out on the streets, it just makes you wonder, is, is this a sentiment that shared by the majority of australians to these protesters represents the vast majority of australians, or is it just a small number? i would say the protestors represent an absolute minority vestry. aliens as a country where currently sitting at just under 92 percent have had a 1st dose vaccination and around 85 percent have had 2 doses of the vaccine. so we're looking at a country, but on the whole, believes in the, in the safety and the efficacy of that vaccines when it comes to trading cove at 9 tame. now. estrella as a country of you know, we're in 20 above 20000000 people in population here. so even when you're looking

at process of tens of thousands of people, like we saw on the straits of melbourne today, which is the city of over $5000000.00 people, we're still talking about a minority of the population to combat some of the conspiracy theories. we also saw that there were some small law pro vaccination rallies held to sort of balance out the anti vaccination and anti lockdown process that were held to day. they were attended by far fuel, paypal and they, they don't seem to have attracted the crowds that the anti vaccination rallies have . but it would, it would be very fair to say that they are in the minority despite being a very vocal minority. okay, great to get that update then from melbourne, dana morris, thank you very much. and deeds. early 7 people have been injured and dozens arrested during protests against corona virus restrictions. and the dutch city of rotterdam, police declared an emergency and shut down public transport restrictions in the
