what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. this . night. with. the. people buying it. i don't think. i will not get.

it's like that telling me. i'm not going to do the. democrats get out of control warning. george. is thursday just after 3 pm in the afternoon here on this program with breaking news for you right now here on our. defense ministry has announced it is withdrawing forces used in large scale military drills in crimea and the black sea they have utilized more than 10000 soldiers over a 1000 vehicles and 40 warships and we understand the defense minister has been

attending those. german politicians are considering a bill to let the government regional powers and force. including. closing down the sports facilities. between demonstrators and. her. it was. was. was it was. it was. with her. 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 all the 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 see one thing tomorrow something else then they do something and then do not stick to it. but 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 law or at least restricts our fundamental rights far too disproportionately germany is currently in the middle of a 3rd wave of covert 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 saw just under $30000.00 new covert infections and the rate

of infection currently stands at $160.00 new cases per 100000 of population across the whole country now there are regional differences with some areas faring better than others but it does look like that brake is set to be pulled once it passes. german politicians told us the changes threaten fundamental freedoms. i have also one of their protest protest kosovo was one of the key speak on the street protests also warned one that these 250 year m.p.'s will go today against. it is. quite softly speaking to callie didn't fix the protection act yet it's cold that you fix protection act but it's funky small s. like an enabling act yes or no 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 homes. to see the ongoing incident in the 11 had to discover that the polymer at least decides on the ball 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 senate you have reasonable things like if there is a high incidence of security measures have to be in sync and but on the other hand

it's no scientific condiment for doing it because if you from 10 o'clock in the evening that is. abusing the basic right of freedom of movement and that of course causes social discontent and calls and smell that people are frustrated. i still to come here on the program as germany tightens restrictions and. lucinda's there that may soon change with a surge in visitors to the u.k. with fake negative covert certificates will cover that story for you just a bit later in the program. but for now france may reportedly use celebrities to entice the public into getting the astra zeneca shot but will people buy it. reports from power. celebrity power could be about to be hollowness for its most bizarre campaign to date helping to convince people to have the astra zeneca job

questions over its possible links to red 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 being part of that given his previous speed use 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 mornings that's where those celebs coming in to put what did 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 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 too easy for people to be persuaded of anything. i will not get vaccinated 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 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 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 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 bother convincing people at all jollity risky r.t. paris france also wants to be europe's 1st state to enforce possible so move heavily criticized by rights campaigners as discriminating against those who don't

want to be vaccinated yet ministers insist it's about quote freedom. city did this summer i hope we will reclaim our freedom thanks to the vaccination restraint and this digital certification. of the passports will list people's inoculation date or immunity status and will be trialed on internal flights this week officials hope to expand their use across europe within a fortnight shops and restaurants for the meantime exempt a political analyst a nickel a mark of each says the rollout will lead to tension so people are are jittery when they're talking about putting their personal information on an app which is managed by the government again if people were confident that people would imagine 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 it did this 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 app is the 1st layer to 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 app to travel is going to be complicated because some people will really feel forced to take the ad because they need to be needed 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 regularly and those who don't have it and have less liberties than the 1st one so i think this is going to create a lot of confusion and. tension within the french society. the conviction of former officer derek chauvin for the death of george floyd who's only boyd black lives matter demonstrators they've flooded back on to the streets now noting the police shooting of a black teenage girl on the day of the verdict shows a total lack of progress. ah.

authorities claim they were justified in shooting the 16 year old could have launched a probe the protesters have already run out of patience calling on police to be defunct it and ties with quote killer cops donald quarter 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 chauvinists fate once more turned into anger. i don't want to hear. you don't want your career. or. right progressive's are paying a lot of lip service to it's not justice and i'll explain to you right 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 was george's young daughter if you. change the world. you tore this afternoon. he did choose them 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. it feels like it took all of that. or did you dishes system to deliver a just just basic countability naturally the administration is 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

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. by plenty will still to come on the program on the meantime israel says a missile was fired at its territory and alarms went off at a nearby nuclear site that story and many more in just

a. 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 american landlords will be chinese . 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. here in moscow supporters all opposition activists. have rallied across russia with police more than 10000 tonality in moscow and some. russian human rights says almost 1800 protesters have been detained with more than a half and some of the valleys team called for the un sanctioned demonstrations off the weekend reports his health was deteriorating he has been on a hunger strike in prison for 3 weeks demanding to see his own doctors and of all

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 are 40 years 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 system or any covert passport scheme could work in siri or in practice clearly there are challenges around international travel you know you have to look across the continent and see the the rise in case rates in many of our nearest neighbors it has been in the past the case that those rising infection rates of c. . 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 various 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 astore the economic upturn then just one forged document costing a few 100 pounds could cost thousands of lives and millions in lost revenue partridge r.t. london. raid sirens are reportedly being heard near israel's secretive dimona nuclear side as israeli defense forces claim a surface to air missile was launched from syria details now with r.t. correspondent paula sla well in the early hours of the so warning sirens sounded throughout the south of israel not far from madame ana we have heard from eyewitnesses that explosions of could shaking houses and some of them were heard as

far afield as to saddam and now there is video circulating as of yet it's on concert and reportedly showing the moment that is weight of things all systems into stated a missile coming from syria the israeli army has issued a statement in which it has said that simon's were activated in a surface to air missile it was fired from sea until a treat to israeli air force chase it was a counterattack following an earlier attack. on syrian territory and we have heard from the syrian state media confirming that they are it defines systems were activated after israeli jets will portugese targeted an area in the countryside of damascus also in the early hours of this morning they were 4 soldiers who were injured there was some material damage but that most of the israeli missiles were interested to. 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 was never confirmed 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 hearing from the i.d.f. that they were carrying out strikes over syria and normally the israelis are 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 jihadist militant targets israel is of course concerned and trying to stop the growing irena presence in its neighboring country across its northern border in syria. 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're not predictable we must account for the

possibility of conflict leading to conditions which could very rapidly drive an adversary to consider nuclear use as their waste bed 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 they are that the u.s. is facing quote 2 nuclear capable strategic pair adverse or as are the same time in terms of russia and china but the notion that atomic armageddon is just another option on the table has certainly not gone down well with those of social media what does this mean did this need to be tweeted his least better 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 former pentagon security policy analyst

michael maloof told us such nuclear statements are 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 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 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 that it's a very serious problem. and let's update you now on our latest breaking news here on r.t. international russia's defense ministry has announced it is withdrawing forces used in large scale military drills in crimea on the black sea more than 40 warships 1200 vehicles and 10000 soldiers took part in the exercises which were attended by the russian defense minister sergei showing who now despite hysteria from the west over the training supposedly preparing to invade ukraine moscow has pointed out it takes place annually in april and september and is not even the largest regular drills they have even carried out of this the update on the breaking news for you here on r.t. international and your program returns in the next a half an hour or so here live from moscow it's just what half past 3 in the afternoon on thursday we hope you can join us in about 28 minutes.
