sparks police clashes with angry demonstrators let's go live to our correspondents in berlin and peter all of a pizza very good morning to you what's the latest place. well on wednesday the bundestag the german parliament voted through amendments to the infection protection act what this would do is it gives angle of merkel's federal government the ability to impose covert restrictions blanket li across the country . what its as it stands at the moment those imposing those restrictions this fall into the leaders of the individual states this would take that out of their hands give that power to federal government the changes to the act haven't gone down well with some people though they are time limited bullets we have seen some demonstrators clashing with police some small scuffles as well as police pulling.

demonstrates is out of the streets at one point. well the changes that were voted through in parliament all weapons they will be reviewed by the upper house of german government on thursday they go through there they'll be signed into law by frank told to stay in my of the german president and will be in place until the end of june it's being called an emergency brake what this means is that it's intended to provide consistency after a year where we've seen pretty much a patchwork of covert restrictions across the 16 states of germany changing varying from state to state what this would do would be

a uniform system that could be put in place that when it was needed we could see things like a curfew from 10 pm until 5 pm also limits on contacts of one person from one of the household also the closure of sports and leisure facilities and restrictions and the potential closure of non essential retail this emergency brake is intended to be pulled once new infections reach $100.00 per 100000 of the population there's also stipulations in these new these new changes that once or if it reaches $165.00 new infections per 100000 schools would be closed to pupils and they would revert back to distance learning it's fair to say there's been a pretty mixed opinion amongst the german public when it comes to these new measures . that are up there thought the think twice and i don't know how this new legislation will do much i think we should have done something much earlier also

today they say one thing tomorrow something else and then they do something and then do not stick to it it's going to be. the new legislation is very very important i'm a doctor myself and can therefore say you can really do it consistently now so it's really bring something everything else will not ultimately bring much success i believe that the new version of the national virus control or goes against our basic a lot or at least restricts our fundamental rights far too disproportionately. well germany is currently facing a 3rd wave of code 90 yesterday there was just under 30000 new infections of the virus these new and strict new restrictions are expected to be in place at least until the end of april with some saying as they're as long as the end of may currently the rate of infection stands at $160.00 new infections per 100000 across the whole of germany however there are some some big regional

differences with some areas fare in better than others pace out thank you for those days sounds nice aussies correspondent in berlin peter oliver. when we asked german politicians from 2 different parties for their views on the name bill. i was one of the protest protest kosovo's one of the key speak on the street protests today also warned one of these 250 year m.p.'s who voted against. a quite softly speaking to call it didn't fix the protection act yet it's cold that you fix protection act but it's functor small us like and enabling act yes or no we are very sensitive for him and in germany due to truman history about enabling acts . by which government is crown to such a huge power that he could be a new member or give away any more in the future to be seen when a building act empowers the government to you saw it for the whole ringback of

germany were few and all the other pressing measurements looked on and so on without the reach homes. to see the ambulance and in the one the one had to discover that the parliament at least decides all. the all now before it was just a group of. presidents of the federal states and the chancellor now it's a parliament that is about the measures that it says they are contradictionary and in itself you have on the one hand reasonable things that for example you have to. measure a cent you have reasonable things like if there is a high incidence of security measures have to be but on the other hand it's no scientific condiment for doing it because if you from 10 o'clock in the that is.

abusing the basic right of freedom of movement and that of course causes social discontent and it calls a smell that people are frustrated. and complications i think in the u.k. . 2 hours or far as he's uncovered forged vaccine certificates run months later in the program. from may you celebrities to entice the public into getting the astra zeneca shots but will people bite artie's sure do penske hit the streets of the capital to find out. celebrity power could be about to be harnessed for its most bizarre campaign to date helping to convince people to have the astra zeneca job questions over its possible links to rare blood clots and its effectiveness have essentially made it roll the design a rouble for some leaving the french leadership scratching its head and wondering

how to make it more appealing we have had difficulties convincing people on astra zeneca we must think about communication and our ability to convince if we want the vaccination campaign to improve though the president to may have been part of that given his previous buz own the vaccine the real problem with astra zeneca is that it doesn't work the way we were expecting it to the problem is so bad that in the city of nice a covert vaccination center not to be closed over the weekend when only 58 people turned up despite some 4000 doses of astra zeneca being for grabs so how did change people's mornings that's where those celebs coming into reported the government is musing full blown communication campaign that would be headed by famous people because in

a crisis that's who you trust right. celebrities that people like cos i don't think they have more knowledge than the specialists. if it's a celebrity who says that i don't care we don't know what influenced them to do it with social media it's stupid easy for people to be persuaded of anything. i will not get that's a native because some famous person tells me to it's like they're telling me jump for breach i'm not going to do that. we know that these a product placements and it turns out that they themselves have not been for. actually it did it might influence people but i personally rely more on medical expertise and scientific reports fears over the link to the rare blood clots from vaccines isn't confined to front so either in sweden several regions of reported cases of people out refusing to have the extra zeneca joab in my department we had

planned for a 150 patients aged over 65 with diabetes who were to be vaccinated there were 20 who cancelled ahead of time and 7 who left once they found out which vaccine they would get one said i don't want to die and left immediately we're still is the loser refusals all resulting in vaccines being thrown away and all of this is taking place as the european medicines agency the world health organization and even sweden's own public health authority are continuing to stress that the benefits of the vaccine for outweigh any risks so why are people still shelling it probably because of the side effects people don't believe in science and the more think it's. social media these discussions on the social media because of the bad reputation in other countries that have decided not

to take the risk a tool since that link with rare blood clots was raised the rollout of astra zeneca remains suspended in countries like norway and denmark but as countries struggle to convince citizens that the short is safe to use the e.u. itself has admitted that they may not be renewing its contract which begs the question why pull the convincing people i told. r.t. this. conviction on. of former officer derek show even for the death of george floyd has only boyd black lives matter demonstrators they flooded back on to the streets noting the police shooting of a black teenage girl on the day of the verdict shows a total lack of progress. authorities claim they were justified to shoot the 16 year olds but have no wish to probe

however protesters have already run out of patients calling for the police to be defunded and time is cut with quote killer cops nazis don't cool to ask if people are seeing politicians as promises of reform as. the verdict guilty but the mass is far from satisfied it wasn't long before celebration over chauvinists fate once more turned into anger. if you don't want your various. forms are. right and in walked the democrats ready to tell the protestors we're on your side one of the 1st to do so was former president barack obama who praised the verdict while saying it was far from a sufficient step and doing away with racial bias what did the us his 1st black president really do to fix things for well black america after all it was under his

administration that the black lives matter movement was even born when protests erupted in baltimore following the 2015 death of freddie gray in police custody obama decided to ignore it instead electing to wine and dine at the white house correspondents dinner welcome to the white house correspondents dinner. the night when washington the celebrates itself. someone's got to do it 6 years later progressives are paying a lot of lip service to solving problems they've failed to fix it's not justice and i'll explain to you right it's not justice. it's not justice because justice aid george floyd going home tonight to be with this family this is but in many skill step on the path to justice next tops independent agency to investigate. police misuse of force criminalized violence against protesters de-militarized police departments disband and deconstruct field police departments some are taking

a more sentimental approach making sure everyone knows the death of their new martyr makes them very sad thank you killers. for sacrificing your life or just your name will always be anonymous with death you also spoke to john did you originally george's young daughter if you get he changed the world and it's over this afternoon. that he did change the world since the campaign trail biden has spoken with the victim's family multiple times assuring them that his administration was on the side of justice even appeared to border on justifying the pressure that activists and vandals were putting on the court process for jury heard the evidence carried out their civic duty in the midst of extraordinary moment under extraordinary pressure for so many. it feels like it took all of that. or did you dishes system to deliver

a just just basic countability naturally that lied and ministrations pandering to anti police protesters has radicalized the republican party and the opposite direction so much so that it's now illegal for drivers to run over road blocking protesters in the red state of florida we saw really unprecedented disorder and rioting throughout the summer of 2020 and we said that's not going to happen here in the state of florida and we wanted to make sure that we were able to protect the people of our great state people's businesses and property and it is the strongest anti writing pro on foresman piece of legislation in the country one big verdict a whole lot of unsolved problems and the 2 ruling parties at each other's throats tragedies like the recent police shooting of a 16 year old black teenager in columbus ohio just continue to pile up with neither side ready to come to a compromise the american political structure of the constitutional structure is so

antiquated and so shot through with undemocratic practices and. bias that it would take a top to bottom thorough political structural reform in order to put america on a new racial footing and i don't see it happening any time soon but short of that there will be no progress whatsoever i am absolutely convinced. as well say the missile was fired and its territory and alarms went off at a nuclear reactor site that story ends more on this short break. when i was told seemed wrong. just don't call. me

if you get to shape out this day come to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i think there will be an interesting new chapter in all of this is that after all the jobs have been shipped to china the majority of american landlords will be chinese and so most people will have lost their jobs from china they'll be addicted to fence and all chip in probably from china to rent if they can afford a house to someone in china.

welcome back u.k. border stuff they are around 100 people a day are trying to get into britain with fake covert certificates raising questions if existing restrictions keep the country safe from foreign a virus invariance osses k. partridge picks up the story. in the u.k. cases of corona virus and cope with 19 deaths before the following the look of the vaccine rollout but there are concerns this progress could be scuppered by the variance of the disease being brought into the country by people using fake coded negatives certificates foreign holiday travel both leaving and entering the u.k. is found that business travels allowed the government website tells travelers to the u.k. before they set out they must provide a passenger locator for and proof of a negative coronavirus test taken within the 3 days before arrival this could be

a printed documents an e-mail or text message failure to show it could mean no travel or 500 pounds fine on arrival the traveler must ensure the test meets the right standards and the results must be in english french or spanish with personal information matching the travel documents and the tests provide us contact details but border immigration and customs staff say these documents are very easy to forge and in many cases officers have no way of checking whether they're genuine it's predominantly taken on trust we do get 100 or more day of corbett's certificates that to a carriage while the e.u. so police agency europol has already warned travelers to be aware of organized criminal gangs selling fake coded negatives certificates these have been found at british french and spanish airports online and in the netherlands via mobile messaging apps for as much as $300.00 euros each as long as travel restrictions

remain in place due to the pandemic it is very likely that criminals will seize the opportunity of producing and selling fake covert 900 testator for kits given the widespread technological means available in the form of high quality printers and different software fraudsters are able to produce high quality counterfeits forged or fake documents and talk to 20000 people entering the. u.k. every day most awful us who are in the large group of exam jobs and people including children under 11 who don't need to take a test which raises the question of whether the certificate and system or any covert passports could work in see every korean practice could either a challenge is around international travel you know you have to look across the continent and see the rise in case rates in many of our nearest neighbors it has been in the past the case that those rising infection rates have seen their way through to the u.k. we're hopeful that that won't happen this time around because of our progress with

the vaccine and so on but we do need to be cautious about that but the big worry about fake certificates is letting people into the u.k. who were carrying you could variance like those from india south africa and brazil which could be more resistant to antibodies this would diminish the impact of the u.k.'s vaccination program as thought the economic upturn then just one forged document costing a few 100 pounds could cost thousands of lives and millions in lost revenue kate partridge r.t. london. raid sirens have reportedly been heard in israel secretive dimona nuclear reactor site as israeli defense forces claim a surface to air missile was launched from syria we're joined live by our team corners flea enough the details paula good morning to you so what exactly happened . well in the early hours of the so warning sirens sounded throughout the south of israel not far from as you mentioned the nuclear reactor in dimona we have heard

from eyewitnesses that explosions of could shaking houses and some of them were heard as far afield as them now there is video circulating as of yet it's on concern but it is on social media reportedly showing the moment that easily all systems intercepted a missile coming from syria the israeli army has issued. a statement in which it has said that these simons were activated in what they believe was a surface to air missile if it was fired from soon into a treat to israeli air force now it followed a counter attack so it was a counterattack following an early attack. on the syrian territory and we have heard from a certain state media confirming that they are into flames systems were activated off to israeli jets were portugese targeted an area in the countryside of damascus also in the early hours of this morning now except the syrian side is reporting

that there were 4 soldiers who were injured there was some material damage but most of the israeli missiles were intercepted by the syrian defense systems there is speculation as to whether or not the dimona facility was the target of it he's one of these missiles not israel's official nuclear policy is nuclear ambiguity in other words it is never confirmed that it has nuclear weapons and it has never denied it it's just left it as an open ended question the facility at dimona began work in the early 1960 s. but in 1906 and he's with the technician who worked there mordechai vanunu leaked information to the british media that reportedly seemed to show that israel was conducting an undeclared nuclear weapons system and essentially building the bomb at the demonic santa at the same time what's interesting about what happened this morning is that we're hearing from the i.d.f. that they were carrying out strikes over syria and normally the israelis are very

quiet when they do such operations however in recent months we have heard these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu boasting about hundreds of israeli strikes being carried out in syria against jihadists militant targets israel is of course concerned and trying to stop the growing iranian presence in its neighboring country across its northern border in syria. paul i thank you for those details our society is a paulist leo. porters of opposition activists alexina valley have rallied in russia with more than $14000.00 turning out across the country. in the world. the largest protest was in moscow where thousands lost through the city center there are conflicting reports on how many have been detained the valleys team called for un sanctions demonstrations after we can reports that his health was deteriorating the activist

has been on hunger strike in prison for 3 weeks demanding to see his own doctors of army is currently serving 2 and a half years for violating parole on 2013 fraud charges which he calls politically motivated. nuclear annihilation isn't something people would like to contemplate unless you're the u.s. strategic command that is they've casually tweeted that it could well happen the spectrum of conflict today is neither we nor predictable we must account for the possibility of conflict leading to conditions which could very rapidly drive an adversary to consider nuclear use is there with option. we u.s. strategic command is responsible for safeguarding america's nuclear arsenal and the tweet came ahead of the agency's annual statement informing congress of its work

and plans they as the u.s. is facing quotes 2 nuclear capable strategic peer verse to reset the same time in russia and china. but the notion that atomic armageddon is just another option on the table hasn't gone down well also show media what does this mean did this need to be tweeted is least bad option would just be less and then it would take you 2 can i guess and no it's not can the world. only insane people would consider a nuclear conflict a clear indication that those who have the power positions in this country are not mentally fit to have this responsibility from the pentagon security policy analyst michael maloof told us that statements are simply unacceptable it's an unfortunate thing that to treat it so blithely lika. as a as a means of trying to scare off adversaries but it's scaring people and

it's not meant to be a it's not a pleasant subject and i think there it's a scare tactic on the part of strategic command to to put something like this and i think that it's just just better to not try to create unnecessary hysteria at a time when tensions are already high that was the whole idea of arms control was to try and minimize the potential danger of the use of any nuclear weapons whether such whether strategic or tactical and unfortunately we're treating the use of nuclear weapons as as the strategic command statement said in a rather bliley way and it's something that is is should not be treated in such a cavalier dismissive way it's a very serious problem. thanks for joining us here on aussie international this morning we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines.
