we. ask. the. protesters clashed with police. force even a hot. shot but people. i don't think they have.

some famous person it's like they're telling the breach i'm not going to do that. democrats get out of control warning. for george. simply. perfect for the start of his program here on r.t. international the whole news team here lining up your top stories for this hour. so a german politicians are considering a bill to let the government rule regional powers and force even a harder. including stopping personal contacts and shutting down all sports facilities well it's. angry clashes between police and demonstrators.

earth. was. on wednesday the bundestag the german parliament voted through amendments to the infection protection act which would essentially take powers to impose covert restrictions away from the 16 states of germany and give that power to the federal government here in berlin now this is being called an emergency brake what it will do is it will give uniformity to what is essentially being a year's worth of a patchwork of covert measures that have differed from state to state across germany this will allow the federal government and angle of merkel's government here in berlin to impose things like

a curfew from 10 pm until 5 am also restrictions on meeting with other households there will be the closure of sports facilities and leisure facilities also restrictions and perhaps closures or non essential retail when it comes to schools they'll be a separate market put aside if it reaches $165.00 new infections per 100000 of the population then schools will close their doors to students and revert back to distance learning now it's fair to say that these new measures of resulted in a mixed opinion amongst the german population and. i don't know this new legislation will do much i think we should have done something much earlier also today they say one thing tomorrow something else 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 there. or 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 all goes against our basic law or at least restricts our fundamental rights far too disproportionately. germany is currently in the middle of a 3rd wave of cove of 19 and it's expected that this emergency brake would be pulled and last until at least the end of april perhaps as long as the end of may in the last 24 hours journey so just $30000.00 new code infections and not rate of infection currently stands at $160.00 new cases per 100000 population across the whole country now there are regional differences with some areas faring better than others but it does look like that break is set to be pulled once it passes. well a german politicians that we spoke to told us the changes ultimately threaten

fundamental freedoms i was one of the protesters or was one of the key speakers on the street protests also these 250 year m.p.'s who go today against. it is. quite softly speaking to call it didn't fix the protection act yeah it's cold that you fix protection act but it's funky small s. like an enabling act and yes you know we are very sensitive in germany due to truman history about enabling acts. by which government is granted such a huge power that it will never give away any more in the future it will be seen when a building act empowers government troops 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 rooms. to see the ambulance and in the $11.00 had to just look at the

parliament at least decide it's. the law now before it was just a group of. presidents of confederate states and the chances are now it's a problem that is about the measures the. it says they are contradictionary and in itself you have on the one hand reasonable things that for example you have to. measure since you have reasonable things like if there is a high incidence security measures have to return again but on the other hand it's no scientific condiment for doing a curfew from 10 o'clock in the. abusing the basic right of freedom of movement and of course causes social discontent and causes a smell that people are frustrated. and as germany tightens restrictions

britain loosens them but that may soon change with a surge in visitors to the u.k. with fake negative covert certificates or bring about story just a little bit later in this program. but for now francois reportedly use celebrities to entice the public into getting the astra zeneca shot but the question is will people bite that shot to do once he 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 undesirable 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 speed use 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 got to be closed over the weekend when only 58 people turned up despite some 4000 doses of astra zeneca. grabs so how did change people's minds 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 are people like kos 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 put the swathes of anything. i will not get vaccinated because some famous person tells me to it's like they're telling me jump of 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 vaccinated 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 $65.00 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 a few cells 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 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 i think it's. the social media these discussions going on the social media because of the bad reputation in other countries that have decided not to take the risk a tool since the 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 the tools. well for on souls who wants to be europe's 1st state to enforce code possible it's a move heavily criticized by rights campaign and says discriminating against the on vaccinated yet ministers insist it's all about quote freedom. city did this summer i hope we will reclaim our freedom thanks to the vaccination restraint and this digital certification of. all the possible it will list people's inoculation date or immunity status and will be trialed on internal flights this week officials hope to expand the us across europe within

a fortnight of shops and restaurants will be exempt and political analyst and markovitch says the rollout will lead to quote tensions. people are jittery with the talking about putting their personal information on an app which is managed by the government again if people were confident that people meant that the people at the head of france today were concerned by the health of the citizens and that was paramount to them and that was their primary concern that i think they would be ok but people see that there are huge interest personal interest big pharmacy group interest there's a lot of these interests with a lot of people think are more important than the interest of the citizens and the safety of the citizen so as long as people will be skeptical about the real attentions of the government and what this is the 1st day or 2 then i think there's going to be a have a hard time going through after a moment if it's an obligation to have this have to travel is going to be complicated because some people will really feel forced to take the ad because they need they need to see family relatives or even to work so it's going to create

a lot of frustration and we risk having some sort of 2 way society with the fast track for those who got the vaccine or who go to p.c.r. test and those who don't have it and have less liberties than the 1st and so i think this is going to create a lot of confusion and. tension within the french society for. the conviction of former officer derek show for the death of george floyd has only boyd black lives matter that they flooded now with demonstrators back onto the streets noting the police shooting of a black teenage girl on the day of the verdict shows a total lack of progress. i. authorities claim they were justified in shooting their 16 year old would have launched a probe over protesters have already run out of patience calling on police to be defunct it ties with quote cops don't hold court or reports as rallies fueled by the democratic party itself could now be spiraling out of control the verdict

guilty but the mass is far from satisfied it wasn't long before celebration over show evidence faith once more turned into anger. i don't want to hear. you don't want your area. or. right progressive's are paying a lot of lip service to it's not justice and i'll explain to you why it's not justice. it's not justice because justice is george floyd going home tonight to be with this family this is but a miniscule step on the path to justice next tops independent agency to investigate police misuse of force criminalize 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. for sacrificing your life for your name will always be synonymous with justice also spoke to john and george in those jurors young daughters you get he changed the world. you took over this afternoon. yeah he did change the rules 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 the jury heard the evidence carried out their civic duty in the midst of extraordinary moment under extraordinary pressure for so many. feels like it took all of that for the judicial 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 a law enforcement piece of legislation in the country one big verdict on 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 pharaoh 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. all right still to come here on the program on r t israel says a missile was fired at us territory but off at a nuclear site that story and whole lot more in just in time. you.

i think that will be an interesting new chapter in all of this is that after all the jobs have been shipped to china the majority of americans will be chinese. from china. chipped in china. if they can afford to someone in china.

it is good to have you with us today supporters of opposition. russia. a russian human rights says almost 1800 protesters have been detained with more than one. team called for the demonstrations off. his health was deteriorating he has been on a hunger strike in prison for 3 weeks. and. 14 fraud charges which he says politically. border around 100 people a day trying to get into britain with fake certificates raising questions if

existing restrictions keep the country safe. which picks up the story. in the u.k. cases of coronavirus and cope with 19 deaths before that following the look of the vaccine rollout but there are concerns this progress could be scuppered by the variants 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 at 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 offices have no way of checking whether they're genuine it's predominantly taken on trust we do get a 100 or more and do fake coverage certificates that we catch while the e.u.'s police agency europol has already warned travelers to be aware of all denies to 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 tests of recruits 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. a most awful use you're 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 system or any covert passport scheme could work in see every korean practice clearly there are challenges 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. he was 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 are reportedly being heard in israel's secretive dimona nuclear site that's as it's already defense forces claim a surface to air missile was launched from syria here do tell us now our teams paula reports one of the only hours of the so warning sirens sounded throughout the south of israel not far from madame ana we have heard from eyewitnesses that explosions occurred shaking houses and some of them were heard as far afield as to see them and now there is video circulating on concerned reportedly showing the moment that we need to thins all systems into stated a missile coming from syria the israeli army has issued a statement in which it has said that these sirens were activated in. missile it

was fired from student. will treat 2 wounds is really a force chase it was a counterattack following an earlier attack. on syrian territory and we have heard from the syrian state media confirming that there is a phones systems were activated after israeli jets reported he targeted an area in the countryside of damascus also in the early hours of this morning there were 4 soldiers who were injured there were some material damage but most of the israeli missiles were intercepted there is speculation as to whether or not the dimona facility was the target of that he's one of these missiles not israel's official nuclear policy is nuclear ambiguity in other words it is not a comfort that it has nuclear weapons and it has never denied it it's just left it as an open ended question 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 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. nuclear annihilation isn't something people would like to contemplate unless of course your he western command that is they've casually tweeted that it could well happen the spectrum of conflict today is neither way they're not predictable we must account for the possibility of catholic leading to conditions which could very rapidly drive an adversary to consider nuclear use as their waste bad option. the u.s. strategic command is responsible for safeguarding america's nuclear arsenal and that tweet came ahead of the agency's annual posture statement informing congress

of its work and plans and probably budgetary needs they add the u.s. is facing quote 2 nuclear capable strategic peer adverse series at the same time in russia and china but the notion that atomic armageddon is just another option on the table has not gone down well on social media what does this mean did this need to between. the least bad option it would just be letting the enemy take your chicken nuggets and not new 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 and we spoke with a former pentagon security policy analyst michael maloof told us that such nuclear statements well that's simply unacceptable it's an unfortunate thing that to treat it so blithely like. 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 they're 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 whether strategic or tactical and unfortunately we're treating the use of nuclear weapons as as the strategic command statement said in a rather blithely way and that something that is is should not be treated in such a cavalier dismissive way it's a very serious problem there are some top stories for this hour here on r.t. international we appreciate you joining us tony haas to here in moscow we are back soon with more of your world wide news headlines.

the world is driven by. no dare's thinks. we dare to ask. psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients. they want that pill that

they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term and mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful and very often there are full effects of it up to something terrible until solve all ills are only trying to mitigate life itself i just think i was in like i was just scared i was a scared little girl i was 24 and like. the didn't have to be so complicated.

greetings and salutation. guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty by now most of us have heard that most historic of burdick's which was brought down this week and former minneapolis police officer derrick. yes mr shaaban is now without a shadow of a doubt guilty of murdering george would the notorious blue wall of silence could not protect him in fact it crumbled before his very eyes and no matter how much his defense tried to put the victim of dirk's robbins actions on trial 12 individual jurors saw through the farce and racism of it all and finally brought some much needed accountability to the murder of mr floyd and while the minneapolis community and many others around the country and even the world breathed a sigh of relief and gave a cheer for justice well that didn't seem to stay.
