venues. i come cinemas, set to expire at the end of the year, but it may be extended. we are going to focus in on austria right now, though, and speak on 2nd to michael bungalow is an independent journalist and author who studies the far right. how are things michael and the i will our since we last spoke to you? well 1st of all, from the i love, basically the situation is getting more and more can cheer. so you may see are not directly are in funds to produce done more because this is too dangerous for secure to resist right now. just like a 100 meters away right now to tell to tell about it. basically they are la marching seems just several marches. is containers, marches to the street seems to police have lost control. you may hear the back door is police all around for the scene. they don't control anything anymore. and i think this will be a longer, that will be a tough night in vietnam. so the police overwhelmed,
7:03 pm
have not got enough numbers out there. yeah, absolutely. well, i was totally surprised, but i heard about the police numbers because it was absolutely clear that this will be not enough. and it was also very clear that the police post very worry, you know, standing back at the control, the mask as they should do, and so on. so it was very clear that they were not really prepared to do something against this big right reaction was watching vienna with thing a lot of demonstrations across europe in fact, all over the world at the moment. now michael, what is it that in australia is making it as you are saying here, actually have this violence edge to it, this threat of violence? well basically the extreme right in australia is very strong and presidential elections in 2016 the far right got almost 50 percent of throats. so that's what we see here. now we see that the far right is able to mobilize also the street. we
7:04 pm
have to say by now, this is not as tough as it has been. me, for example, in the nettle and yesterday, but we'll see what the night thinks today when the saw read it was a very aggressive situation. i was attacked several times. i was a boy, i was attacked with the bottle so i can show control on the police just been attacked was traces pretty tough already. now, why would you attacked? well, basically because i walk on extreme ride since several years, and all those people know me very well. there were even leaflets handed out f as tomorrow on the march showing my picture. so paling everywhere, look at that guy. and it's very clear wherever i am people thought yelling at me and then people thought attacking me. but still, i think it's very important to be here because it's it,
7:05 pm
we can't accept that the right wing extremists decide to was reporting on them. okay, well we want you to stay safe, michael, that. thank you for your reporting. we really appreciate it. ok. ok, thanks a lot. and i 5, why? by let's move on. the u. s. secretary of state says, washington is investing in africa without imposing unsustainable levels of debt. anthony, blinking in senegal on the 3rd and final leg of his trip to the continent, he signed $1000000000.00 trade deals and asked leaders to bring in economic and social reforms. lincoln says president joe biden plans to hold an african leaders summit soon. nicholas huck is in deka for us. ah, so much that's been discussed on this trip. i know vaccines were part of this part, a trip to synagogue as well, but also multiple regional issues. that's right, and that's why he met with the president of seneca, mikey sal who will be the chair of the african union next year. a lot of this visit
7:06 pm
was to change the tone of the white house's approach, a former administration. now when we saw last might compare with the former secretary of state coming in to senegal. before his departure there was very much a fight. so we've lost nicholas hunk there, but why don't we have a quick listen to what antony blinkin did say, in that news conference last l. we continued to push when it needed them to have studies without pre conditions and humanitarian access for the millions of people who need life saving. and we continue to americans to have evan sounds of commercial flights out of the country and were providing assistance to them. to do so, i was, we had to show them the violence would be seen from the security forces in recent days. that has to end the right of the students, people progress peacefully must be protected. and we join the people sit down in
7:07 pm
urging the restoration a prime minister hancock and his civilian transitional government. and the release of everyone who's been arrested for expressing their opposition to military take over. right. not able to reconnect with nicholas huck. i just now, so we'll move on with the rebels and the saudi coalition. fighting against each other in yemen, said it both launched major military operations, who it is claiming to have hit bases oil installations and an airport, and a number of cities in saudi arabia, while the saudi say they have launched attacks on more than doesn't targets in yemen. we spoke to raymond, i'll hand down the about the research at the human policy center and the group says, the conflict does not escalating that. these attacks and retaliations show just how both sides are trying to undermine each other. we've been seeing a lot of escalation on the ground and a lot of sunlight changing in yemen. that basically has led to an intensification of airstrikes on to the capital city of santa and as well. and if occasion of fighting along areas where there shouldn't have been recently,
7:08 pm
there has been basically violations of a, in the united nations, an agreement to basically allow the city what city about the date on which they are in the western coast. if you haven't to centrally leave that port, city alone, and allow it to be an access for all foods and goods into yemen. however, recently there have been shifts over those positions and the who these are now fighting western coast, the west coast forces that are supported by the united arab emirates. as such, this has basically allowed the kingdom said to radio to help us and aspire forces to back these battles over there. but nothing that so significant is going to change the who the position in the north. and i think the so significant that's going to change the corporate i think, i think there are very, very many requests that are coming out. now. that's how the baby does not want to continue its investment in the conflict in yemen, but rather move its investment to were just protecting its borders. and so the more the who is should violence, or actually even claim, even though they may not have been attacking all these drones. it sounds good for
7:09 pm
them because it makes it look a little weaker and it makes them look like they're in charge of the battle. a such a salary radiance cannot be quiet when all these drone attacks continue to hit the civilian and non civilian infrastructure and sad ravia. and so these are straits have done very little in the past to curtail the healthy spread. and i don't think they're going to do much to do so today in ethiopia, the construction of hydro, electric time on the blue nile is now more than 80 percent complete and will be africa's largest hydro electric project when it's finished. but the $5000000.00 mega project is cause tension with both egypt and sudan downstream. been under construction out for 10 years out there. that if you, if the bureau chief mohammed pa, to walker has been given rare access to the site. and he has this report they've been selling our debt to the north. is the borderline with sudan, about 25 kilometers from here. construction and other walks underway as we speak, according to the project manager, the 1st filling of the damn has yielded 18000000 cubic meters. this represents one
7:10 pm
quarter of the scheduled filling capacity. we also visited the 2 turbans that were installed within the facility. our expect it to be launched next december. this by the tensions and if you work on the project has not been interrupted. as you see behind me, there is the main dam and behind it there exists the waters. and it's this result is expected to hold 74000000000 cubic meters within the next 5 to 7 years. it's known that the negotiations have come to a standstill and the filling of the dime was completed without the consent of the 2 downstream countries. egypt as to don, the project manager also told us that 83 percent of the construction of the dams has been completed, people 11 and struggling to pay for medicines after the government cut subsidies on some drugs. the countries already in a severe economic crisis center in the reports from beirut seems no sign of any way
