the pandemic food banks on thanksgiving. the rich to see their 4 chainsaws thanks to party journalists are among those injured as emotions run high in the argentinian capital, where fans are grieving for diego. they just gone 6 o'clock here in moscow without international. now, a top court in germany has ruled that bird in would not be liable for war crimes resulting from u.s. trained strikes, launched from its soil. the united states have conducted a number of operations through the ramstein air base. now that the lawsuit of the yemeni nationals has been tonight,
10:02 am
the federal administrative court has explained that a general good for protection in favor of foreigners in foreign countries can exist . but southern quire means differently than the higher administrative warrant. like a more details now from peter all of a he joins us again from berlin. good evening, peter. what are the implications here then to this region? this ruling in light that the german government has no responsibility to guarantee that u.s. drone strikes that are operated from the u.s. air base on german soil that they had here to international human rights law that they fall within the remits that overturns a ruling in a german court in munster last year, which said exactly the office. it's in said that berlin did bear responsibility. it also went on to say that the german government knew that u.s. missions violated international law. u.s. missions that were being operated from the ramstein air base in the south of
10:03 am
germany. now the case was brought originally back in 2014 by human rights groups representing the families of yemeni people who had been killed by u.s. drone strikes. one of those family members spoke to the press following the ruling at this case at the court in light sick. and he said, it is a severe blow. my family cannot live free from fear while these drones flying with germany's help hover over our community in yemen. threatening to bring death and destruction. u.s. drone strikes have targeted yemen for well over a decade. the main targets have been al qaeda terrorists operating on the ground, but they haven't been the only ones that have been struck in these drone strikes. we've also, according to the, the bureau for investigative journalism seen 200 civilians or at least 200
10:04 am
civilians with around 50 children, also being killed in these airstrikes. now the european center for constitutional of human rights based here in berlin is described. the ruling is disappointing. one of their lawyers going even further on social media, he said that the court has chosen to believe the word of the government, the united states, that since 2001 has employed torture, kidnap, and killing under the guise of fighting against terrorism. there's clearly a lot of very high temperatures running here over this court ruling. in fact, reprieve the human rights group that helped finance the yemeni families court case . they are extremely unhappy with this ruling. what we're talking about here is a secret to sas nation program that kill scores of civilians each year. it is simply unsustainable and despite the ruling very clearly unlawful. well,
10:05 am
earlier this year in may, the united states put out a statement in which they said that they killed no civilians in their s. and their drone strike operations in 2019. they had put out a similar statement saying that they've killed no civilians in 2018 as well. but the statements from the u.s. state department are highly disputed by human rights groups who've been working on the ground. ok, thanks peter. that was artie's piece for all of the for us in berlin. we can talk now to martin dempsey, he's a hamburg parliament member from the german left party. i think we've got him. yes, senator. great. we can. he thank you very much for your time this afternoon. a lot of anger that we've been hearing from human rights groups about this raising. what, what's your assessment? oh, i agree with the oeuvre a relation of the european central constitutional and human rights. they clearly
10:06 am
bring forward. it's a very, very sent day for the independence of courts and that's to my mind as well. we can see clearly that there is civilians killed by that rule which are conducted by the these and run style in the german government to my mind has this responsibility. and i hope that the scepter of constitutional and human rights with their clients will go forward to make an appeal to the constitutional court. because the importance of this to cling to international law all the important is to cling to the carter of the united nations and not conduct walk crimes. i do agree more with the decision of the former ruling. 'd of called who clearly was saying that. 'd your. 'd government has a responsibility. 'd and to the mind of the human rights organization and to the
10:07 am
mind of the left wing as well. we should stop that there is any drones. 'd conducted from ramstein because we can't exclude that there is. 'd civilians killed . 'd by those drones, do you think in fact, that this ruling does show that germany, the german government is a fright that the u.s. is committing more crimes? yes, the court is not the government, but it caught short act independently. and i don't think that this court decision this independently and so on the long term, or if you have, by the way, yearly backgrounds, i think the german government and let's say in the german elites,, they are afraid of disappointing. 'd the n.r.a., the united states of america and their government. but i don't think international law. 'd and the human rights should stand in the middle of any decision or the caught in the middle. 'd of any decision of the government and there should be no.
10:08 am
'd pressure to walk crimes and we have information information and there is evidence that drones kill civilians. and this has to be taken into account. the counter-argument, i suppose, is that germany has no control over these u.s. trained strikes and therefore shouldn't be held liable. what's your reaction to that? yes, of course, the german government test the truth. what happens in the case of writing style is under control of the u.s. army. and so under the control in the last instance, you know of the u.s. government only. now once keep this base and ramstein is given by the government through responsible. 'd of your population, if you're responsible to keep the human rights regulations that work. 'd like human rights. 'd international law regulations and you cannot control what's happening.
10:09 am
you're sure to allow my into the mind of the left. these should be close because this control issue. now i was just going to ask, did you feel it is necessary for the u.s. to have bases in germany? if we look at the strategic you idea of being on your vote and then we look to the physical circumstances. you see at base because it's not possible to to who. 'd will conduct the drones from the us itself because the radiation item of the circle of despair, not the sort of art, cannot make possible that you contact the drones from us. so they need to have some other place and seven-up that. 'd only says one can do it here we should say no because. 'd we want to keep to the international law that will be keep up the
10:10 am
a position to have peace like more of them making some kind of agreements. 'd which are abusing international regulations. what is the final, what is the view if the german public on this, how do they fit in the back u.s. bases in germany. and it would be nice for drone strikes in yemen. where we look at their regular relations. there's always round about 65 to 85 percent of the german population which is not satisfied or which says it's not possible and with it's not won't it that germany is leading. 'd any the military operation lite the german army is and 13 places in the world in this other places as well. and as well, it is allowing as an ally the u.s. to conduct wall against places grew in germany. and so will the majority of german
10:11 am
population is against this. clearly in every evaluation. 'd in the last 20 years, and that will leave it there when you get to talking tonight as martin hamburg upon member from the german left party. thank you. now the u.k. government has been criticised for holding asylum seekers in prison like conditions of the disused army barracks activists want the site to be closed, saying it does flout coded regulations, but authorities are trying to gag them with confidentiality agreements. r.t. shetty edwards dashti reports. even if we saw you would see why are you talking? don't like that. why do you think of it? so there's something wrong. the government stands accused of trying to cover up the problem. the home office introduced a gagging clause in the form of a confidentiality waiver, centuries silencing visitors from speaking out about what they see inside the
10:12 am
barracks. my efforts to talk to people on the inside of the barracks proved futile as long as security was around. so we just arrived here at napier barracks and just as we got here, a man came out of his window and he started screaming help out. so he pointed in gestured overhead. we came over here and the security man preventing it. and as you can see, the security guard is still there, and it seems like he is calling for more. but why can't they speak to us? we want to know why don't you let them speak to us? if they want to speak to us, they can speak to us. at the same time, i need to talk to you the full military base napier barracks in folkston in kent has recently been turned into an assessment and a special facility that houses around $400.00 of saddam sica is all men, some of whom have made their way to the u.k. across the english channel, the government is obligated to find accommodation for asylum seekers while the
10:13 am
claims are being processed. but the cave at 9000 pandemic has left local authorities desperate to find enough housing having to resort to using sites like this one in kent. those on the inside told me the conditions are far from livable. i don't believe what they say, but because the neighbor is a very tired of this place, i threw a to be able to have only one choice. here for any side is not about a fairly thick show. you have to go go outside and you know it's very cold blooded, no safety because the hobo office maintains, however, that these protocols underpinned by the official secrets act are essential. we have worked closely with our accommodation provider, clear springs, ready homes and stakeholders to ensure the napier site is safe and secure. this includes an agreement with staff to provide silent seekers with privacy and confidentiality. as would be expected,
10:14 am
volunteers and medics have sounded the alarm there for the conditions. this footage shot by a resident shows cramped sleeping areas, call it off by sheets at a refugee himself, has been bringing clothes and essential items to the camp. he says the military environment in the barracks could trigger a trauma for those inside knowing a lot of asylum seekers. beautiful trauma, one with a journey of all safely in prosecution free regimes that imprisoned them false, imprisoned them, and told shouldn't be in place in just use military barracks and it's going to a lot of them in terms of these also it's just demonizing as more reports imagist protests, hunger strikes, and even suicide attempts. it's unclear what the future of these and similar sites will be, but for the residents, a decision can't come soon enough. only i dream, i think we've reached around going to be free shots r t u
10:15 am
k. can't charities are warning that more americans are going hungry than in the last 20 years. food banks have seen demand saw during the pandemic, and last year some 35000000 americans live in highest holstein to be through it in secure this year. though a food rescue charity claims that 50000000 will struggle to put meals on the table . but while many do fight hunger during the pandemic, others are enjoying record profits. r.t.g. was done of explains when you hear the rich and powerful talk about covert 19 in the us, it turns to be arguing for unity, you know, the country girl, we would fight. we need to remember. we're at war with the virus now with one another. now, with the chance the corona virus has impacted everyone in the states. there's no arguing there, but the lives of a select few have changed in a very different way. these are the richest americans,
10:16 am
and this is how many benjamin franklin's they've raked in during the pandemic. as their combined wealth hit a trillion dollars you are must just passed. bill gates become the 2nd richest man in the world with a fortune of over $128000000000.00. it's almost like 2 parallel universes coexist in america. millions have slipped into poverty, more lost their jobs. hundreds of thousands can't afford to feed themselves or their families relying on the good grace of food banks, which are feeling the strain humbled. hi, how much this pandemic is attacking the community and great of an area. if there's life you need help in the realm of the ultra rich person makes more money in an hour than an average american family makes. in decades, as if the mega businesses of the wealthiest have been vaccinated against the covert
10:17 am
induced financial collapse, leaving all the hardship to the common people. but i think it's for everybody, but you know, everybody knows what happened to the right e.c.c. screeches. everything is closer to happen to future. we just have to be patient. i don't know, i don't know what is happening. i have an idea and nobody has any idea for the news we need it is we are close to protect the public good. and we need the public to come help us. we need government aid. it may look like the most fortunate are trying to help out. after all, the top 50 richest americans have donated a total of $1000000000.00. as for coronavirus relief, it seems like a large sum. but only when you put it in perspective, it's a miniscule percentage of their wealth. while the upper claws good to let go of their money, there's no problem when it comes to giving the less fortunate
10:18 am
a chance to earn some wealthy new yorkers. for instance, have apparently been offering $80.00 an hour to those willing to hold a place in the queue at covert testing centers for them in and to suppuration over safe travels ahead of thanksgiving. even before the pandemic. the gap between rich and poor was the largest in the western world. and now it's only ground. the ruling class has used the pandemic to enrich itself and to impoverish millions of americans. we have people now on the verge of being evicted. many people have been evicted, many small businesses have gone under permanently. never to come back in congress, meanwhile, is doing nothing to prevent these things. it's shameful. i think you're going to see a country that again looks more like brazil looks more like india than
10:19 am
it does like the united states say in the sixty's, in seventies. even eighty's, you know, you're going to look at a country with a very poor, you know, masses of very poor people. and if you're rich, it's going to be a very difficult situation for millions and millions of americans. america is 2 different worlds with different fiscal laws and physics. it seems. and while one watches all of the american dream unfold before them, the other is left with hope and prayer day to day. well, to help cushion the effects of the virus here in russia, he's been in the vaccine, will be given free of charge in moscow. does say it's ready to start mass vaccinations, but after the jab proved to be highly effective in its clinical trials as more there is a good news for the russian capital. moscow mayor says the city prepared $300.00
10:20 am
fully equipped specialized. that's the nation's center's, mr. said banning also adds that half of moscow was already mune to corona virus 20000 of them through vaccine. all of them feel, all right, but with all that, you have to understand that corona virus cases and probably 19 related dabs, remain in a very high level here in moscow and across russia and pandemic restrictions remain in force in so many places. just remind us put new career is currently undergoing phase 3 of its clinical trials. early interim results just recently showed that the drug is 95 percent effective. 42 days after the 1st days, developers expect to produce up to $2000000.00 doses till the end of this year. meanwhile, other vaccines are also getting ready to enter global markets, some of them with some difficulties. the u.k. sweden astra zeneca will be trialled again and made mounting questions over dosage issues. russia suggests combining with sputnik the vaccine to boost efficacy
10:21 am
current full those astra zeneca regimen resulted in 62 percent efficacy. if they go for a new clinical trial. we suggest trying a regimen of combining the astra zeneca shots with the sputnik, the human edina viral vick, to short, to boost efficacy. combining vaccines may prove important for revaccinated ins. there was no immediate response from the company behind us through seneca, russia still waiting for their reaction. other vaccines are also there. the u.s. based foreign giant is pfizer and the dead in the say their drugs are also over 95 percent. a factor of well has russia says the more vaccines the better? and i think we would rather all agree with that. football fans in argentina have queued in their thousands to say their final goodbyes to the late for forcing for star diego, a marathoner with emotions running high, the procession did descend into clashes between police and mourners.
10:22 am
police use rubber bullets and tear gas against agitated fans who were demanding more time to say goodbye. as they lined up to see marathoners coffin, r.t. journalists covering the story were injured as well. one was hit by stone, another by a rubber bullet. i was not much like the model in the italian city of naples fans their way flags and chanted football anthems dedicated to the late stuff i. i was the night sky turned bright red. a supporter set off flares in tribute. marathoner played from apple for 7 years and story period for the club to winning their 1st
10:23 am
ever league title a 2nd thing followed as well as success in european competition by one chef in a city to decide to pay his entry to favorite football star, he recreated marathoners face on pink says and brought them to the stadium where other fans were laying candles and flowers in honor of their i call it all love to not be. i was lucky enough to have met diego and give a pizza directly to him. but this time it was done with a different mood, is that 78 years ago, i was lucky enough to give it to him in person. if i can a friend who brought something this morning, a memory to the stadium. i wanted to bring my aunt the marriage on a pizza is different this time, but i'm sure diego will never fade and his name will always be strong in the sport and in the world. people often loved or hated marathoner, but whatever their views he will be remembered as one of the sport's all time
10:24 am
greats. apparently, diego, for the argentinians, is like a hero. he always had the hero's cape and the hero's shield that the argentinians needed. he always came to the defense. he showed us that it was possible to be the humblest nation and take on the most powerful enemy. married daughter to me is everything, not just in terms of food bowl, but also never the aspect the man, the food bowl or his whole character. i don't think we do that. i've been following
10:25 am
10:26 am
this treatment for addiction has become less available to you to cope with restrictions and it comes to you after a recent lawsuit against u.s. drug maker, perjury pharma, which pleaded guilty to mishandling its addictive prescription painkiller oxycontin . we spoke to a mother who lost her son to an overdose of painkillers. do i believe as commiserate with the pain and suffering that families like our own, who lost a son to an overnight pure opioid or even have related overdose? there's no way that will ever get our son back and we have, you know, half a 1000000 people in our country don't want their lives to opioids for me. i'm it really just says that if you have enough money, you can really commit murder and get away with it. i really believe that the money that they were bringing and because of the sales of their drug oxy cotton really gave them a lot of money just spend potentially give it getting the money to legislators and
10:27 am
other people in need of power positions that really perhaps change the direction or you know, of their support or not. and they also were required to pay into the f.d.a. . so we've never felt comfortable that the f.d.a. really has necessarily i reacted appropriately to produce a pharmacist or purging pharma. was ordered to pay almost a quarter of a $1000000000.00 for spreading misinformation about their painkiller. you know what i paid to guilty to paying doctors to mean change them to write more prescriptions for its painkiller as a prank and says it's not by just us pharma companies that are fighting people. there are obviously other companies who have been involved in the search here in crisis, in the stimulation and sustaining of it, they would include opioid manufacturers as well as just tribute hers of men and of
10:28 am
opioids. so in other words, the companies that would be just refuting out to the individual pharmacies and communities across america as well. the f.d.a. is festooned to watch over these drugs and drug makers and especially the marketing practices. clearly they didn't do their job effectively or we wouldn't have ended up where we we are now. there's no way to produce armitage, not know that a certain amount of these drugs were getting out on the black market and so individually. but it even goes out to the individual drug dealers on the streets and not feeling really confident right now that we're going to see the resolution that we watch. although i remain hopeful that things will turn around with enough advocacy work. that brings us up to date for the sa, don't forget, you can always stay across the news team on our social media pages and each channel .
10:29 am
because schumann's waited years for, you know, millions of years to build up an emotional one. when the communication happens within 10 milliseconds in skype and zoom and all that after strong doubt because it takes about 260 milliseconds, just flew us to talk. now when you get to the same room, you know, this emotional bond between us is very different in the slightest. she will bring this box down. what bargain that he will go on or yours will pull you out of bed and him up. and then what about and i didn't do, it will always be the good. is it also or know when to
10:30 am
hold on it how much you can keep it or don't or don't let you. people come up with you through the content. not about the how i live and i'm mad at them and the minimum time because i'm not bad with the internet, but oh, november a bit of a stick by them that it down to the point about it, but i will mean size it and it is about me and be able.
