the wit is a must have got pictures of some of them not even when the broccoli so beneath the nose and i've even got pictures of ones i haven't even got over the mouth in my case in particular literally. be i'm still an international grounds i haven't gained immigration of literally just been transferred through on top of everyone's got to produce a negative test to be a not at all no one could just walk into an airport you've got to go for the bits to get a procedure even in front of it i have to produce my boarding pass on my part and to locate the form which i'll be isolating the whole call the consulate i'm going through the procedure to try and get the voice recorder of the device but ultimately i was told anyway i'm on just the advice or not the onus is on the trouble and so if that's the case then obviously so be it but the event. what happens after the are just you know it's. the mineral water brand evian has made a splash over a tweet encouraging people to drink more water pretty and oculus stuff but they
2:09 pm
posted the adverts on the 1st day of ramadan the period when muslims are forbidden to drink or eat anything during the day the french company has apologized for the timing of the ad which then led to further criticism with many accusing it of bowing to walk pressure picks up the story for us do you mean to me this is perhaps nothing more than a little. something to quench your thirst with the ground every english found itself in some very hot water here influence being accused of everything is a lot of food here to be a victim of intellectual terrorism and it all started with a tweet seems and this isn't enough rowing to retreat if you handily to a group i don't necessarily even say water i mean you're supposed to drink 2 meters a day but new this reminder of a staple for human life was put on the 1st day of ramadan a festival with muslims for eating drinking during daylight hours the reaction king
2:10 pm
unfolds. i have to explain to my mother how it is normal for everyone to tweet about water even during ramadan because she thinks they are islamophobia you know it's ramadan you're abusing if you issued an apology to coors in the offense and said that the purest most common disease but not any so if you can sinking even deeper into controversy. i would never buy every and again inadmissible to apologize it's basically a cool health message and yet you have to apologize if in 2020 i want to ask you for drinks water since provoke you should have a consultation. every umbrella under tax for advertising water on ramadan day for some islamists muslim festival should be imposed on everyone well no let's stop this madness soon was in the street to exult it is a long way off through here in paris people with the best food boy that allegation
2:11 pm
not for me no i saw the controversy i saw the to eat frankly i think it could be a green students in my opinion there was no bad intention and they deleted the tweet to avoid unnecessary control the city but not at all because they felt guilty . for me it's not a slam a for b. i don't understand it like that for me would denigrate a strong one who say look at her she still veiled for me that's islam a full get. him or madonna when i'm doing my ramadan i know where to start in the morning and it goes on until the evening i don't eat so i don't drink it has nothing to do with business or anyone else if someone tweets like this i don't care what many muslims also took to twitter to say that they didn't think that tweet by everyone was is a little bit leading so to question the way that any muslim had indeed been left insulted by evian or if somehow this whole story was the result of
2:12 pm

2:13 pm
interpreters who work for the british forces in afghanistan. well over the years the u.k. house led hundreds of interpreters who work for the british army settle in britain but critics say many who ought to be eligible for the scheme are being denied the child's u.s. president joe biden once the withdrawal by september 11th all of american nato troops from the country this week on translators who help them over the years for you they will be left to the mercy of taliban militants who branded them creatures are legitimate targets. and again things many interpreters are left traumatized. i am regularly in touch with the afghan interpreter us who are searched for the british army and there are still a psych in afghanistan and they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma unfair every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next the to them so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan analysts that british
2:14 pm
government acts quickly on introduces an inclusive scheme that allows all interpreters to relocate to the u.k. the situation will not be resolved are part of the international. missions objective in afghanistan was to secure europe on american borders from the threat of terrorism so afghans who joined the international forces and of world doesn't tap without us alongside these forces they are actually the core to the ends of the safety and the security of europe and america leaving them behind is the north's way off more ality and unhuman. still ahead in the program. covert shelves slaughtering vaccine roll out in europe travel agents offering back scene vacations to russia we'll take a closer look about for this short. so

2:17 pm
the russian federal security service the f.s.b. they have detained 2 men one is a been a russian another one has dual citizenship over been a roost. and you excuse me the united states and so they were plotting as you just said a coup in better they planned on the 9th of may it's victory day a very big celebration here in russia and in baton rouge as well they planned to capture some of the strategic buildings symbolic buildings like the t.v. station the radio station they plan to capture alexander lukashenko and his son potentially even assassinating him this is the information from the been a russian president himself example saying that they planned to assassinate him and even world capture is his 2 sons so this is what we know that it was a joint operation of the security services of bella rose and russia in better roads in the wild west of the country security services managed to find
2:18 pm
a whole stash of weapons and detain people this it had happened earlier so these 2 people arrested in russia detained in russia they are believed to be the ringleaders of the whole operation but they weren't acting alone there was a group and better which was detained which had been detained and apparently there was a whole stash of weapons discovered as well last year we spoke quite a bit on the program did in the you were there in belarus as a crisis really unfolded for quite some time tell us a little bit more a by aspect that has it alleviated you know it well bill roses still recovering from that year i says because basically what happened after the presidential elections last year which alexander lukashenko the world according to official statistics he wanted by a landslide but a lot of people a lot of people in belarus they did not believe the they said they accused the leader the president of fraud and they took to the streets there were mass protests
2:19 pm
and initially they were met with the with a very harsh police risk. bones with police police was accused of brutalizing civilians there were some horrific pictures of people with bruises and you know me with massive bruises and very terrible terrible wounds and injuries so as we were working in belarus we saw tens of thousands of people at least take to the streets protesting and demanding alexander lukashenko should go down to protest alexander lukashenko supporters who agreed with the results of the elections and will said that the country should come down and well everything should be resolved peacefully and through legal procedures so now this is so now this whole protest has been the anti-government protest and better was has been reduced to less it has been localized essentially it has been reduced to people like waving opposition flags
2:20 pm
out of their windows and law enforcement coming and tearing those flags down so it's more of a it's almost like a guerrilla guerrilla protest right now this is what's happening there now and this announcement by the security services of russia and of and by alexander lukashenko just adds up to this whole story now that there is saying that there will a position elements that planned an assassination ok we await to see what more details come out of that for now it or thank you very much igor set off. a criminal case has been opened in fronts after the photos of over 20 police officers were plus tried on walls and part of suburbs it's led to fears that they and their families may be identified and threatened we spoke to a french police union member who say it's the start was meant as a threat. initially accused will report that these are blatant threats intended to intimidate police officers were all troubled and concerned for the officers
2:21 pm
identified their families are worried and we're concerned for their families you may think it's the 1st time but it's not the 1st time this has happened in the same journey we've also seen officers being named in other areas it's scary enough that we no longer have boundaries and there are people who name officers families without hesitation and it seems to me that matthew like behavior and intimidation is encroaching into our private lives because with the police. well the incident comes after lawmakers passed a controversial security bill which bans the publications of any images of police and operation those find guilty could face a sentence of up to 5 years in prison and a 75000 euro fine the new draft law has been slammed by civil rights groups and n.g.o.s who say it could whitewash police abuse the french public kells been protesting against it for months.
2:22 pm
but french police insist the law is needed to protect officers and their families. thank you. we try to protect ourselves but it's true there are limits the police have to protect the general population but who defends the police article 24 some things are progressing well but it's not enough we are now waiting for the restrictions to be introduced to soon as possible the alliance police union demanding that the faces of police officers blurred it's not to hide what happens during the arrest because the police watchdog receives the body count footage
2:23 pm
everyone is worried about the police making a mistake we want the police to have their face is blurred to protect offices and their families because as we've seen some people don't hesitate to identify officers wives children their addresses this is a big problem if you want to avoid. in chicago more than a 1000 people gathered to demand justice for the fatal police shooting a 15 year old. protests broke out after a video of the incident emerged an officer shot the teenager who had earlier dropped the gun he was holding else he was raising. in the german city of start guard police dispersed protesters rallying against pandemic rules officers resorted to pepper spray to break up the local authorities have been trying to stay nighttime curfew starting at 9 pm. spacecraft with 3 crew members on board has returned to earth 6 months of the

turn at the end of the year and i don't want to wait that long and i had other options such as serbia israel iraq and the united states but all fell away for various reasons so this was the best offer. i was on failed the new infrastructure package that's left many people confused in part because it contains old sorts of measures that appear to have very little to do with infrastructure only about a 3rd of americans seem to support the bill as well trying to unpick it for a skill above them. joe biden's infrastructure plan is getting a fair amount of criticism polls show the country is pretty divided when it comes to the plan itself but overwhelmingly americans do agree that infrastructure should
2:27 pm
be a priority joe biden is selling the plan as a jobs creator the american jobs plan is an investment in america that will create millions of good jobs rebuild our country's infrastructure and position the united states to compete china public domestic investment as a share of the economy has fallen by more than 40 percent since the 1960 s. then merican jobs plan will invest in america in a way we have not invested since we built the interstate highways and won the space race. a plan to get america moving again and get those cast aside by the pandemic back into the workplace has certainly got america talking with the word infrastructure very much on everyone's lips a sweeping new infrastructure plan to rebuild roads and bridges across this country biden vowed infrastructure investments could create 5000000 new jobs and bring back the pandemic jobs lost president biden in pits for yesterday promising to create jobs in 5 climate change with
2:28 pm
a sweeping 2 trillion dollars infrastructure plan infrastructure means roads bridges highways it cetera however there seem to be some other items thrown in there too such as health care and benefits for business now democrats are not exactly clarifying the confusion paid leave is infrastructure child care is infrastructure ok given is infrastructure supreme court expansion is infrastructure are you feeling confused well you're not alone many are starting to wonder if this is just a democratic party spending bill with all kinds of items thrown in as they are now considered to be infrastructure democrats infrastructure proposal goes way beyond what's working americans would call infrastructure it tries to use a bipartisan issue is the truth in holes for tax hikes and miscellaneous liberal policies we need to tackle infrastructure in a more targeted way so what exactly is infrastructure 2 trillion dollars after all is quite a bit of money $1.00 thing is pretty clear while americans don't care much for red
