9:00 am
ah, the news is our top headlines are not paid most goes, it sets a grim record as a daily number of cove at 900 cases, souls to an old time high. meantime, the cities man has announced a whole new raft of restriction, unprofessional, ineffective, and dangerous. that's how the un special rapids who are on torture, describes a new swiss anti terror law that allows police to spy on and question people as young as 12, without a court order. it's really not very sure that i did the vote for it all in favor to protect that population voted against
9:01 am
because of civil liberties restrictions migrate, crime rates of the us southern border are on the way off. i made an influx of newcomers with a prison in texas actually being cleared out to make room for the offend. ah, i just off at 4 o'clock on friday afternoon here in the russian capital. this is archie international already a big day. your worldwide headline. moscow has registered its highest ever daily covert infection rate with more than $9000.00 people, catching the virus in just the last 24 hours. the city mayor says a host of new restrictions are being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for non vaccinated patients. let's learn more about this right now. are these electronica joining us here on the programmer area? what's going on in the city right now?
9:02 am
can you tell us about these new measures that are coming into place or are already in place shore warri? hi again. well, less than 2 weeks ago, the daily numbers for moscow were plus $2900.00 new cases. but on friday, a record more than plus 2000 cases in a whole country like mexico. the figure is 2 times smaller. so the situation is very serious. what's going on? it looks like the new more aggressive delta varian, which are rid of it originated in india, is taken install on the washing capital, according to moscow's mayor, survey about in almost 90 percent of the new infections in moscow are the new delta various. so the government has come to an understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very slow,
9:03 am
and now they are rushing to change that. here's one of the groundbreaking decisions introduced just now. the medical authorities in moscow are saying that free non essential care at the hospital, hospitals in the russian capital will only be provided for those who've been vaccinated. now everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's needed. if you're a patient with cancer or with blood diseases, in that case you will still get all the necessary treatment. but in all other cases, sorry for not intentional medical treatment, no job, no treatment. this is what we're hearing from medical authorities. patients have a weekend immune system for them could be 19, is especially dangerous. it is impossible to avoid all contact with them or to isolate them. all. those who can have the jap for special reasons will still be admitted to hospital and emergency medical care will be provided with our exception
9:04 am
to everybody regardless of vaccination status. a campaign in the city to promote booster jabs to make sure that there are enough anti bodies with the patients that have already been vaccinated will also begin in the near future. and only a couple of days ago, it was announced by the mayor's office that in the service sector, the employers are obliged to vaccinate 60 percent of their staff. so really the city is bracing itself for a true vaccination boom. and now here's what the press, secretary of latimer said when he was asked about what the kremlin makes of the new spike and the measures that are being introduced. the worsening situation is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions the low
9:05 am
vaccination rate and the slight nature of the virus. while if we go back to the measures that have been introduced by the mayor, the existing ones have been extended up until the end of june. for example. that is the closure of restaurant bars and nightclubs during the night. and also the obligation for the employers to send a 3rd of their staff home to basically work from home. besides this, starting from this friday mass gatherings of over 1000 people have been banned in the russian capital and dan flores and the euro of football fan zones will also be shut down. now all of this isn't on a federal level just yet, but we have received a warning from the medical authorities of this country that these measures could
9:06 am
also be possible for as the other regions of this country as well. what are the delay for trunk or thank you. swiss the voters of approved or new anti terror law in a referendum. it allows police to keep tabs on people as young as 12 without any court order. however, there's plenty of concern about this new law. un special repertoire on torture nails melting has called it unprofessional, inefficient and dangerous. last year, experts appointed by the un human rights council said that legislation sets a dangerous precedent. and i'm just going to national set. it opens an era of generalized suspicion. but i guess thea takes a look at this controversy. the 3 are jews to balance, but the tax and stabbings in recent years have rattled society while the thing led to another and switzerland is now home to the most draconian count tara laws. in
9:07 am
europe. it was the will of the people. that's the thing with suisse direct democracy, new middle met. i've, people want to give police the state, uncheck powers, they can and they did 57 percent voted in referendum for these. the question is, did people fully understand what they were voting for? thank you. no, no. i think a lot of people are not aware how dangerous the law is as it is cutting into the freedom of all activists in this country. and now you can be in prison when they put under house arrest or put under suspicion of terrorism without a court order. and i think the people were not sufficiently aware before the referendum. police can now monitor those as young as 12 years old, limit their movements force them to take part in interviews which means interrogate the for any reason that they deem good enough and will be able to put suspect as
9:08 am
young as 15. and the house arrest for months and months and rights groups have been ringing, alarm bells about this. let me sit do. i'm the senior national. this law is extremely problematic because winter and iraq generalized suspicion with any person can be targeted by this definition of terrorist activity. a definition does not correspond to that providers and the criminal code and does not correspond to international standards, which always includes an element of violence. the crux of the matter is that these new laws, apart from the ethical complications of going off the 12 year olds, that preventative by design. and preventative is a very controversial thing. he ordinarily, if you commit a crime, for example, you get punished right. while preventative means you're stopped before you can commit the crop before it's. it's a hobb before you do something you might regret. and the sweets are still very much
9:09 am
divided over this. i voted against it. of course what dis me give authority is it gives them ground to take measures against citizens before. busy a judge has ordered those measures a voltage in favor to protect our population. exactly. i think it's necessary unfortunately, because some people in the class don't have exactly the same manner of thinking. respectfully, i'm so one. so terrorist and can be everywhere it's it's really the terrorists come from government to never, never tears come from every but nobody, no, no, no. on the government id vote for that. i know i was not very sure that i did the vote for voted against because of civil liberties restrictions which go pretty far under that low. and that's the thing making all,
9:10 am
all of us become suspect. so why didn't vague is the definition of terrorist activity? if you google something that someone might construe as dangerous view cracked, or a bad joke? if your friends fall in the law enforcement radar, you can become suspect. i'm the freedom loving us with. for me, i mean, it's a shame, it's an absolute shame that we have that we have to vote for such a law. and it's even the big shame is that the people accepted it. everyone that is, that don't agrees with you know, the strategy from our federal counsel for example, but what is coming that they're basically locked away? everyone. so i mean, it's even harder than that. the pathway that i think it will be used most likely, again to the fireman activists. bob, i think the much bigger problem that i see because the way 6 up that, that kind of patrick back is that a lot of other countries might take it over. and say, you know,
9:11 am
switzerland period as well. so we can do it also over here in saudi arabia, wherever. and this is, this is a terrible sign for the rest of the world. and so i'm very, very much shame to be with, oh, some people are planning to fight that, but chances are great at the end of the day. so with authorities and monsters lay care for their people. the question is, the future, how future rulers will we'll this lot and that's what worries people the european union is trying to free up travel with his new cobit 19 said pickets, but things are getting off to a rather shaky start. a consumer group in belgium says the scheme as it stands is not going to work. the group called test charts pointed to a list of differences and how members states regulate cove a travel. for some countries, p c, r tests for entry should be no older than 72 hours, but others, spain and portugal,
9:12 am
for example, have a 48 hour deadline. also, some countries, including austria and denmark, are unwilling to accept and different tests from those coming from red zones that includes great britain. and if you are traveling with children, you'll find the minimum age requirement for testing varies from state to state. well, let's delve into this a bit more. we can now speak to simon, november a spokesperson for test chats, the belgian consumer group joining us live here on our team. thanks for coming on. good to see you today. the e. u copay to certificate system is supposed to be in effect across the block by july. first we've got, well now less than 2 weeks before f one is supposed to have this medical possible medical certificate. do you think it was a good idea to start off? i guess to start off early because we've got less than 2 weeks now for all of the block to get on the same page. we already have, you were being certificate in the 16th of june and other other countries to follow only the 1st of july. so that means that the belt in their difficult, you know, the values in other countries in europe. so we,
9:13 am
we have to come to your organization, have you working to ensure that your internal certificate isn't effective, not discriminatory, and free certificates fargo's yours. so it took a lot of work, but now in fact we feel we have to be able to, to unify it has to be an effective general tool. so we got the call 3 different different rules. as you said in the introduction, they are different validate validated the big for bcr, this, the vaccination vaccination periods are different. so it has to be a unify do. and it's not like a level g thing. time is it just quickly for our viewers who are watching this interview right now? do you think people who are traveling for, for june or july across europe? do you think that travel plans have been scuppered? if they don't have this certificate in time?
9:14 am
yes, of course. that's, that's one problem. and the other problem is there a different route in different countries. so you mentioned that you go in whole day by car and you have to travel to a different countries in europe. and there are different rules applicable concerning explanation. time or n v g, or d r as hoster. you can struggle. so if the other guy ask situation. yeah, we believe for uniformity. so it's, it's a build towards the members. they do make it an effective general useful tool. so that means that all the members, they have to have to speak the same language. and that's not the case. it's not just the case among general states in their leadership, but it's also across the block. people have a lot of concerns. mr. november, for example, you use the word discrimination a few moments ago, the chinese vaccine, the indian vaccine, the russia vaccines. they still have not been approved by the european medical
9:15 am
agency. so let's say some russians. well, some indians have had their vaccines, they travel to europe and they get stopped. they get blocked, they get bogged, they get bad. is that discrimination, mr. november? well, it's might, it might be discrimination, but it's a strong war worth. of course, are, you'll be in medical agency, maybe has genuine concerns about those indian or chinese back teens. i can't do any declaration decorations on that another. but in any case, the russian or indian union can throw by means of a vcr sets. but then again, but i mean that's, that's a limited window, so forgive me that jumping it, but a p, c r test is ok. you get a pcr to 72 hours before you fly somewhere. when you arrive in that place to get another pcr test, you get a q r code that tells you within 24 hours if you can stay or if you can go. but how about, for example, you know, there are over 60 countries worldwide that have agreed to sign up for the,
9:16 am
for the russian sputnik v vaccine. but if they get the shot, they can't come to europe, right? i don't, i don't think so. no, no i, i, i don't, i don't know exactly, but a being there is, there is nothing i agree, agrees about the, the russian vaccines. it's only about the vaccines. that's very old, right. barney european medical agency at the moment and the european medical agency has taken many months now. as it says, it keeps saying we don't have enough time. we don't have enough left logistics. do you think there's any politicking going going on here? do you think any politics are involved with the approval of certain countries, vaccines while i'm not in the right place to make any declarations about about that, i know that i'm not a medical expert, maybe are there some medical arguments i don't, i don't know about. we were maybe focusing on traveling among the country. we didn't knew you're being union and the differences in the european union itself,
9:17 am
they're already there are already differences between members of the year to be a union. so that's already a problem. so large and the scope evolving yet, and russia make it even more complicated. so as for today we're mainly focusing on the new members. they are not in the right place to make any declarations about as russian, as i see. okay, so if i can, if i can, because i'm, i'm running very low on time, but i want to ask you one final question. if you could send a message to brussels about getting everyone on the same page and approximately the next 15 days, what would you tell the leadership in brussels about this cove? it possible this coven certificate. well, there was, there really wasn't. there was an agreement. now and we plead that the member states was you, it will unify and apply, apply the same, the same rules everywhere, so that it from voted in greece. the same rules about about
9:18 am
only that and this is can be generally useful doodle. and now now we felt as for and for the european medical agency is concerned, i don't, i don't want to do any declarations about vaccines from, from other countries, globally. fair enough, simon, november spoke spoken for a test, a child joining us life or not to international. we appreciate what you're doing and thank you for your time. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. well, the inmates of a texas prisoner being relocated to make room, i made a spike in crimes committed by illegal migrants amassing the u. s. southern border . the texas governor has justified the decision by saying that the state has to uphold the rule of law by its own means. unclaiming that the by the ministration is ignoring the ongoing monetary and crisis at the border. has all correspondent caleb
9:19 am
martin, branches destroyed threats to resonance. lots of chaos, texas border sheriffs say in the 30 years they've been guarding the border. they have not seen anything like it. crimes related to illegal border crossings by undocumented workers are now on the rise. i've never seen it quite like this. we have always had a fence. got here. fence got there because they're hauling dope or small kids or something. but we've never seen the intentional big 4 by 4 holes in the fans or now and 10 foot section just can't completely out. that's really starting to bother me . it's a mess. that's what it is. nobody seems to care about is down here. we're 6065 miles away from the border and they say that everything's okay. no, it's not. ok. conservatives are voicing outrage that amid the situation. restrictions are being loosened and not tightened. trump era. 2 restrictions on asylum seekers intended to curb gangs and domestic violence have just been lifted.
9:20 am
the numbers are big in may. 180000 people were apprehended at the border. the biggest monthly total since april of 2000 border states are now pleading for help. florida is sending officers to arizona and texas to help out texas is now putting $250000000.00 of their own state budget into building a border wall. busy of their own and the texas governor blames joe biden for dropping the ball. texas is going to do with the by the ministration is refusing to do. we will be using every tool available to us under the law. and we will ensure that we build a wall, arrest people, and make texas safe. many border state residents feel like the white house just doesn't care. it's been over 85 days, but vice president common harris has still not visited the border. i write to invite you to the us to the board to observe the ongoing humanitarian crisis and show the perspective of americans who lived. i encourage you to join me and other
9:21 am
members of congress, while we visits with the people on the ground who deal with these issues every day . house democrats were able to block a bill, put forward by republicans that would have actually prevented comma le harris from taking any international trips until she visited the border. pri, of border state residency is one of the outrage at government mismanagement. what i believe is that the democrats are playing a long game of obscure and confuse while they try to get as many illegal immigrants . i'm still going to call them that into the country as possible. well, the democrats haven't taken any action that will actually solve probably on the border. those are actions that trump took during the ministration that solved problems at the border. wonderfully well, the combination of the fence and the working with the mexican president to get the immigrants to stop before they get to the border. all that was taken care of and working very well during a trumping counselor, harris was put in charge of the border by joe biden, but she hasn't gone to visit because she doesn't want to tow
9:22 am
a group of reporters around taking pictures and asking questions about the chaos she doesn't want to draw attention to it. she'd rather embarrass herself by talking in circles and flying off to europe and doing other things and saying that she must do those instead of going to the board. she doesn't want to go to the order because it will draw attention to how much of a failure it is in normal viewing terms. now the biden white house has certainly offered up a change in rhetoric and policy is when it comes to the us mexico border. but so far things have not really gotten better. in fact, they've gotten quite a bit worse. many are wondering when the white house will step up and offer some real solutions kayla bobbin r t. new york. the impartiality of the british police is endanger due to woke trends. that's according to the chief of manchester police, who says the public's fed up with officers virtue signaling instead of fighting serious crimes. i do not thing that things like taking the,
9:23 am
the demonstrating that you have a commonality of the with the protest us that you're policing is compatible with the standards of service that people require. the police, i think we're bus, the high watermark, the public gets a little bit fed up of virtue signaling police officers when they really rob the we just locked up burglars last summer. so or a wave of b l m protest across the u. k. following the movements arise in america during the rallies, pictures, most of the police officers taking the knee and solidarity with demonstrated back in spring. this year, the country's independent police authority urged the force to think very carefully before making such suggestions. meanwhile, the case being hit by a spike and burglaries in recent years with many cases going unsolved mattresses, police chief is valid to change the situation and investigate even minor crimes. however, one former police officer we spoke to as little confidence that will happen. you can police service does not have sufficient resources to do everything properly. it
9:24 am
doesn't even have sufficient resources to do most things. reasonably. something is criticized to place service react, so that by moving resources from elsewhere into it, it gets better for something else and starts to 5. and he's criticized. we will just go round and round and round in circles because nobody's actually diagnosing the fundamental problem. and doing anything to trade back is essential that the police are seen to be biased. that is a concern about taking the ne, happened a couple of times with a few officers the particular place. i think the place service has been effected like virtually everything, every other institution in this country, by changing attitudes, particularly deciding and then towards these signaling sort of things and wellness and whatever. it's something that's happening in why there's a in fact, across the world. we seem to be getting more and more of this. i don't know why the yalta district in the russian province of crimea has declared
9:25 am
a state of emergency amid severe flooding. that's left at least 8 people injured. hundreds of people have been evacuated from the city center off the french range course the local river to preach at bank of the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated and there are fears of a likely black out of water supplies have been switched off and the authorities are telling people to stock up on bottled drinking water or the yell to administration has off the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency health. well now another crime in district a coach has already been battered by the extreme, whether it started on wednesday night when hundreds of residential buildings were flooded. as you can see, streets come to rivers and some cars are quite thoroughly submerged, and more than a 1000 residents have fled the area and are staying at temporary shelf is pop official and crimea visited the city earlier to oversee the rescue operation. a new investigation has reveal that missing
9:26 am
u. s. military weapons have been used in violent street crimes. according to the study, at least 1900 military firearms were lost or stolen over the past decade, while many others have vanished without trace from the military supply chains. the main site, his reason for this, our security failures such as soldiers sleeping on the job and surveillance system malfunction well stolen military guns have in some cases been sold to street gang members unused on the streets with the missing guns, often traveling a long distance. first, for example, in one case authorities linked an army pistol stolen from a base in north carolina to 4 shootings in new york. we discussed the implications with a peace activist tie berry. there is no real basis for the united states to know how many weapons they has or where they're going. it's a weapon becomes lost or stolen. they are to report it sometimes months. most people, they lose their weapon,
9:27 am
they get it stolen. they don't even take the time to report it to the authorities. people are selling guns across the street to their neighbor without registering. there is no culpability, no responsibility. there is no criminal time jail time find is for someone that loses a got we have the number one highest budget for our military in the, in the world. and it's growing but every single day. and when there's no way to account for, for these guns, no way to account for military spending in general. there, the corruption level is very, very, very high. well, we need to have responsible military officials. we need to have laws on our books. but these, these, these we've been asking for these laws for decades now, and the congress is incapable of coming up with real serious nonsensical, impactful gone laws in
9:28 am
a word. the same with the military and use of a has revealed it almost 60 percent of americans view, so called a critical race theory and a rather unfavorable light that has ever more american states oppose teaching it in schools, branding it as divisive so far, legislation to bind the theory from classrooms has been tabled in over 20 states, and 5 governors have already signed it into law. parents and lawmakers opposed to c r t say children should be well, they should not be taught values on anything based on somebody's skin color. critical race theory is teaching children the because of your skin color, you are in the heavenly bud and racist or you can succeed in life. i don't think we should tell children that they are inherently but based on the color of their skin . a quick reminder, what critical race theory is, although it seems different, people have their own definition, but in essence it's a theory developed in the us that suggests that racism is systemic and pretty much
9:29 am
everything is racist. white people are inherently privileged and oppressors, minorities are inherently oppressed, most interactions between people of different ethnic groups revolve around racism, and political and social structures, especially in the west, are all founded and operate on racism. basically, almost everything is about skin color. so proponents of critical race theory say that teaching it is informative, a critical study of history and systemic racism meant to prevent repeating past mistakes. the outcome is not to shame or have someone feel guilty or few shame for our past and for our history. that's not even productive, but what we want to do is for people to understand it so that going forward, we will be aware of it. we can make sure that we don't pass laws or educate or do housing. that leaves groups of people, black people or brown people behind, but for the tractors that's nothing like how it's actually being taught and applied
9:30 am
. after years of critical race theory being drilled in schools, many have come to see it is indoctrination of kids. and so radical ideology aimed at getting them to despise their own country and putting people against each other, based on the color of their skin, teaching kids to hate their country and to have each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money. naturally, supporters of the theory are outraged over attempts to ban these teachings with something that this is a ration of the issue and that there are more important problems to solve. but with how society is already divided, it may be no surprise that the most vocal opponents of the theory, for example, the parents of kids being taught this. don't see how this actually help he'll social device. does racism exist? yes, our identity politics and fading almost everything and everyone is racist. a solution to the problem.
