4:00 pm
so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in need together in our headline story. this is our moscow said sir grim record of the daily number of colbert 19 cases. sores to an old. busy time high, the city's mirror as the nuns, the raft of new measures. also the he, you, austria, seneca, both claim victory and a legal buffalo over vaccine supply delayed a court order is the pharmaceutical giant to deliver $50000000.00 more doses by the end of september. and devastating floods leave. at least one person dead on 8 injured in. southern rushes, crimea province after torrential rains, goals, rivers,
4:01 pm
to reach their pangs for district. some declared ah, around the clock across the world. this is the news are in order to grip of your company. i mean, and the moscow has registered a daily record in new coven infections with more than 9 families, in cases in the past 24 hours new restriction to not being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for on the vaccinated patients, ortiz lip a tranquil has more for us less than 2 weeks ago. the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, and new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is
4:02 pm
going on? it looks like the new delta vary and which are recreate with an india is taking its toll on the russian capital. according to the mayor of moscow, almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance because also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resistance compared to the original hand viruses. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very slow and now they are rushing to change that. now, here's one of the groundbreaking decisions introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have
4:03 pm
been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required. if you are a patient with the cancer or with blood diseases, you will still get all the necessary treatment. but in other cases for non essential care, like i said, a jab will be required. patients have a weekend immune system for them could be 900, is especially dangerous. it is impossible to avoid all contact with them or to isolate them. all those who can have the jet for special reasons will still be admitted to hospital and emergency medical care will be provided with exception to everybody regardless of vaccination status. i campaign in the city to promote booster jabs will also begin in the near future. at a couple of days ago, the moscow's mayor office announced mandatory vaccination for 60 percent of the staff in the service sector. so it looks like the russian capital is bracing itself
4:04 pm
for nothing less but a real vaccination boom. when vladimir prudence press secretary dmitri passcode was asked about what the kremlin makes of the new spikes and the measures here is what the spokesperson replied. don't get even worse and he tuition is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions, a little vaccination rate and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti over measures in the russian capital have been extended till the end of june name leave the closure of bars, restaurants and clubs during the night. and also a 3rd of staff members being required to work from home. in addition to that, the moscow mayor's office has also bad mass gatherings of over 1000 people. besides this dance floors and football fans, those will also have to be shut down for now. once again,
4:05 pm
i'd like to point out that so far, these are the measures that have been announced for the washing capital. this isn't on a federal level just yet, but we have received a warning from the authorities that all. busy of this could be extended to other regions of russia if that is required. so this is a possibility in the near future as well. a court in brussels has ordered the british company astrazeneca to deliver a 50000000 more doses of its covert vaccine to the european union. by the end of september, the ruling follows a long running legal buffalo ber supply delays on both sides are claiming victory or power space correspondent, charter dubin ski. dig deeper into the issue, nor both sides, claiming victory in this court case over whether or not astrazeneca through its contract to deliver supplies of cobra. 1900, that's at least will you repeat the commission alleged to and it's lewis went to
4:06 pm
court a few weeks ago. it was demanding in cool that astrazeneca before to supply some extra deuces. meaning it would have to bring a 120000000 doses of 900 jobs to the european union by the end of june. so in the next 2 weeks, but the belgian court rejected that and set out a completely different time table for astrazeneca. the judge also rule that the european union european commission didn't have the exclusive right. it didn't have the priority to any of the astrazeneca jobs that were manufactured here, also in the u. k. which is also something that the commission lawyers had claimed. and additionally, the court recognized that astrazeneca had had problems with its manufacturing processes. that's what i presented because lawyers had said the reason for this delay, therefore, astrazeneca see this being
4:07 pm
a win astrazeneca has fully comply with its agreement with the european commission . and we will continue to focus on the urgent task of supplying an effective vaccine which we are delivering at no profits to help protect people in europe and around the world from the deadliest pandemic in a generation. well, the european commission is also crying that it had a victory in court by this ruling, by the belgian judge is well, why? well, that's because of the court outlining this new time table for extra deliveries of the job to come here to the european union. basically what the court said is that by the end of september, astrazeneca has to supply an additional $50000000.00 doses to the book. and if it doesn't, it receive a fine of around 10 euros per dose that is delayed, but not 10 years per day. a delay, which is what the european commission lewis had actually asked for. but this ruling
4:08 pm
was welcomed by lavonne delaine the commission precedent. this decision confirmed the position of the commission astrazeneca did not live up to the commitment made in the contract. it is good to see that an independent judge consensus. this shows the european vaccination campaign not only delivers for our sits since day by day. it also demonstrates that it was founded on a sound legal basis. but this is a pretty hollow victory if it is a victory in any sense because european commission and perhaps it's just trying to save face by saying that, why? well, the deadline that's been set by the court, which is the end of september, is a deadline. the astrazeneca said it was looking at working towards any way towards the end of this year, delivering all of the doses that it was supposed to. and, and rebuttal of the idea that the european commission is wanting court today, after seneca has said that it's going to smash that deadline set by the court
4:09 pm
anyway. and many will be perhaps wondering, given the circumstances surrounding astrazeneca how it's been seen hearing you report for the last few months why this case even went to court. and i say that because across the european union, many countries have put severe restrictions on who can have astrazeneca and lots of countries. it's only age groups over a certain age. and in some countries it has been rejected from use all together. and that's because of those links that we keep hearing about with very rare but fee to blood clots. and also in the last few days, we heard from the head to the cook with 900 task force. this is food european medicine agency, which is the use of the truck regulator. when he was asked whether the idea of the astrazeneca should just be entirely ditch now with a job, he said yes, it should, begging the question why this went to court in the 1st place?
4:10 pm
no story to tell you about today. swift footers have approved a new anti terror law and a referendum. it allows police to keep thompson people and children as young as 12, without a court order. and wherever there's plenty of concern of both the new law, un special repertoire and torture, new meltzer is called an unprofessional, inefficient and dangerous last year, experts appointed by the un human rights council said the legislation, that's a dangerous precedent. while amnesty international said it's opened, nearer of general life suspicion, your senior corresponding rock garcia, reporting from switzer the 3 are jews. the balance of 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 counted perils in europe. it was the will of the people. that's the thing with suisse direct democracy, new middle met. i've,
4:11 pm
people want to give police state, uncheck powers, they can, and they did 57 percent voted in a referendum for these. the question is that people fully understand what they will voting for. thank you. no, no, i think a lot of people are not aware how dangerous this law is, as it is cutting into the freedom of all activists in this country. and now you can be imprison, 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 forced them to take part in interviews, which means interrogate them for any reason that they deem good enough and will be able to put suspects as young as 15. i'm the house arrest for months and months, and rights groups have been ringing, alarm bells about this. let me sit said to am this international. this law is
4:12 pm
extremely problematic because winter and iraq generalized suspicion. 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 it's, it's a hobb before you do something you might regret. and the sweets are still very much divided over this. i voted against it. of course, what this may give authority is is it gives them ground to take measures
4:13 pm
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 terrors come from every but nobody. no, no, no. on the government id vote for the i know i, 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, all of us become suspect. so why didn't vague is the definition of terrorist
4:14 pm
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 raider, you can become suspect. i'm the freedom loving us with. for me, i mean it's a, 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 stepped on the grease with, you know, the strategy from our federal counsel for example. but what is coming that the basic can lock away everyone. so i mean, it's even harder than that. the battery back. i think it will be use most likely against the climate activists. but i think the much bigger problem that i see because the place except that, that kind of patrick act is that a lot of other countries might take it over and say, you know, switzerland period as well. so we can do it also over here in saudi arabia, wherever and this is, this is
4:15 pm
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 on month of lay care for their people. the question is, the future, how future rulers will we'll this lot, and that's what worries people quarter an hour into the program. let's move all know the your district in the russian province of crimea declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead, and 8 others injured. 100 something if i q weighted from the city center off the transfer rate for a river to burst its banks, the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated. there are fears of alexi black one. the local posted this video on social media. you can see in unbelief is struggling to move through fast flowing muddy water. the yalta
4:16 pm
administration has asked the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency water supplies in the district have been switched off. the authorities are telling people to stock up on bottle drinking water. we heard from a reporter in the city. i've been among and the situation has no stabilized. at least the rain has stopped before that it rained for 11 hour straight. so the city center is under water, public transport has been paralyzed overall, more than a 1000 people are involved in the rescue operation. emergency crews are working alongside residents to help people as much as they can to more reverse breach their banks today. and we haven't stopped the flow yet. the head of the administration has been over seeing the operation of the streets of the city since early morning. we met her when we got here. she updated us in the situation. she has everything under her personal control, starting fishermen. we can now say for certain that the weather has come down,
4:17 pm
but just yesterday you could only cross the road here if your 2 meters high or in the special vehicle. there were turned into a real river with cars floating around the military, actually very professionally. they've provided all necessary aid. i saw the emergency services rescued to families who are trapped inside their homes by the floods and other locals help them to also provide moral support. the braver once jumped in the water to get people out. there is a similar picture and falling in several other parts of tri, mia, a total of 4 districts, have declared a state of emergency the latest being, feel dosier, and corrupt where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of courage is one of the worst effected disaster struck there on wednesday nights when hundreds of residential buildings reflected streets turned to rivers and cars were mostly submerged. more than a 1000 residents have fled the area and are seeing a temporary shelters. the top official and crimea visited the city earlier to
4:18 pm
oversee the rescue operation. this video from courage has gone viral on line 3, people can be seen swimming behind a boat, which was carrying the head of the crimea administration. the official face, they were rescuers helping vessels move through the flooded re. they'll be given state awards where their work is really warplanes, have pounded garza for the past 2 nights. less than a month into a fragile cease fire with hum us. israel sees the raids where a response to a century balloons launched from gal, causing fire is on, is really farmland, according to the idea of several hum us targets were heads. no casualties were reported on either side. palestinian group started launching those balloons earlier in the week in response to marched by jewish nationalists through our neighborhoods . jerusalem in all 9 palestinian protesters has been injured in flashes with
4:19 pm
israeli police in jerusalem. or under people gathered on temple mount after friday prayers. some reportedly hurled rocks security officers, as they tried to clear, the police responded with rubber bullets and stunning grenades. and the latest confrontations followed last month's 11 day war between israel and bass militants. more than 270 people died in the conflict. the vast majority on the palestinian side was hoping to save and cross and live know to tell if he is really defense on political commentator a mirror or an amir hello to you. the cross border attacks were talking but they're quite limited in scope. cut it escalate into something serious or do you think it's just warning shells from both sides? well yes. it does seem to be on the warning shots or really
4:20 pm
regenerating the process shots and the good news, the latest news is that today was quiet. no, we seem to re balloons and for no reason to expect any israeli error aid tonight in retaliation. and what happened earlier this week is that you have basically 3 palestinian areas. you have peace universe. when you have the west bank, we see it. jason, to east jerusalem, and you have said they're away. they got the street and they come out. know how much has undertaken for itself to tell israel what to do or not to do in jerusalem, which even the more moderate israeli government, which took off these only earlier this week does not intend to obey. and so what really happened is that 4 weeks ago, as you mentioned, there was
4:21 pm
a ceasefire in the exchange between israel and math. but there was no mechanism to implement any of the understandings, including reconstruction of the gover. 3 or bringing money, especially from cuts are 2 guys up. so in order to reinvigorate the process, how much let the balloon flyers stop there? he's seen very work. israel got the message. you got the message to end. apparently, there will be, renew talks behind the scenes. you know that to get some arrangement. that's pretty interesting. as you say, we're just a few days into the new government led by a prime minister enough tale bennett, i was going to ask judge him by the early signs. how do you think he's going to to handle? how must maybe just out on to your 1st answer. well, you know, there are 2 time ranges under which to judge it
4:22 pm
fed their own benefits l. the renewal career vowed to be spent to come in gaza. he's not going to do it. the cost of occupation for res row will be too high, but day to day and night to night. he's probably going to try and retaliate for even the smallest publication, such as an inferior balloon. we case of course, quite a nuisance. it does been the farmers fields along the boulder, but no casualties have been revolted. nevertheless, bennett's and he's a cabinet colleagues, are not going to wait for any rocket attack and casual piece before the retail rate . so the signals are going back and forth across the border. hopefully there will
4:23 pm
be some sort of political follow up fees fire because just as the fire never holds israel. know for the 1st time husband are a party united are a list lead by months or a bus in the ruling coalition. they are pushing for a major, spending boost for our towns, villages. do you think that they're going to get that amir and cut it, improve its really palestinian relations finally? well, it's a very interesting aspect because this particular least, the united air, at least under missouri bus, has told each electorate as well as the other copy of the jewish dominated parties . if he's only interested in the civil agenda of the next government rather than the political or religious one, even though the piece islamist actually is glossary night, the ology to hum us and to be muslim brethren in egypt and elsewhere. so this is
4:24 pm
going to be the 1st test to see whether there is any motion, any vote of no confidence. and then they will have to decide whether to both the government to abstain or even to vote again. ok, thanks so much for letting your expertise in all those issues today. a mirror and it's really defend some political comments live in television. the pentagon is warning the terrorist groups enough gala stun could expand their reach after the u. s. polo and pose an international threats up the issue was raised in a senate hearing. how would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like al qaeda and isis regenerating inside of afghanistan and presenting a threat to our homeland our allies. i would assess it as medium. i would also say center that, that it would take possibly 2 years for them to develop
4:25 pm
that capability. fair enough, gentlemen, i concur with that and i think that if certain other things happen, if there was a collapse of the government or dissociate, disillusion of the ap can security for that risk would obviously increase. but right now it's a medium of about 2 years or so. well ahead of the police, there are already signs that the us backed off. going government is losing control of the country as the taliban has reportedly captured at least 27 district. since the beginning of last month, the militant group has voted to take the entire country and establish this lumnick emirates of afghan us. then, back in april president joe biden place to remove all us troops by september. 11th was pushed back from may 1st. the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump on the telephone, but u. s. military leaders have reportedly cautioned against any kind of deadline saying a draw done should be based on the security situation on the ground rather than the
4:26 pm
specific date, anti war activists. brian becker thinks some senior figures in the u. s. are looking for a pretext to stay in afghanistan. we see here is a tug of war between those 2 are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan is den. and those who feel that the war is not winnable, it's a drain. it's not going to be, it's not going to alter the outcome. and they also make a differentiation between the taliban and should the television become the new government? yes, it would be the same kind of government, maybe with some slight variation from the way it was before september 11. but i think it's important not to complete that with the isis or isis is in afghanistan because of the us invasion of afghanistan. there was no isis prior to 2001, and our kite is severely weakened for so obviously the military again. yes, there might be a need to continue us military presence. yes, there's a me, em stay
4:27 pm
a medium warning that i'll kind or i can come back. but again, i think there's a tug of war here between those who want to have wherever war in afghanistan, and those who say, look, it's time to end the war here. let's talk a rum not because the interior ministry has extended voting by 2 hours. and today's presidential election, officials say the deadline's been extended due to crowds at polling stations. although on official data suggest turnover is actually lower than the last election runs. chief justice ibrahim easy is believe to be the clear front front of the harmful of candidates that made it through to the final fall. it's a victory for raise, a could pave the way for him to become the next supreme leader. the most powerful posts in the office to talk about to russia. lou lawyer, a little specialist, welcome to the program crush. the outgoing president found honey eat, generally seen as a moderate. where is the front runner?
4:28 pm
and we've just been speaking about has more hard line views, could that lead to a more confrontational policy from around? thank you. so for having me on, it's not going, but it's not going to be more confrontational because every right the, as you said, that you just did. and he, he's going to become the president. and he's on his side, a guy, he's on the site. so it's not going to be confrontational, but if he's gonna, he's going to sign a deal with the american. and he's, he's going to say that he had, he's the one who was lifted, who was able to lift the sanction and who was able to bring iran back to the international left in the elections. coincide with the latest round of talks in vienna aimed at reviving the around nuclear deal. how could that change of leadership impact those negotiations?
4:29 pm
it's going to, it's going to change a lot because as you said, the rule, honey, was the love, the right and the parliament and the supreme the supreme guys. so they didn't, they didn't give him all the power to negotiate equally with the united states. every time he wanted to do something, the conservative was knocking him down. now that service is going to become the president. they are talking behind the curtain and they're just waiting to sign a new deal. that's what they think with the american because they got a day that the we conservative, we're able to bring the run back to the international. and we got, we're gonna be able to bring the economy back to get the job to the job. and that the time they're holding, they don't want through a need the same, but these, they want the new administration, we're going to be abraham, right. the 2 scientists, the cross you're in toronto,
4:30 pm
they're just all not say aspect of the chart notes on official pools of suggested. it could be around 40 percent lower than the last time. to what extent may that undermine the result? is there any aspect of a duffy official numbers or iran? $0.48 on the on the show la numbers are below 40 percent. the people that are going to what you said, i'm in the run right now. i mean, the norfolk can run, which is the big jury run almost nobody that i know when the and vote, but on the conservative in the middle, middle of the run in the provinces of iran, most people went to vote and those people are more conservative. so among the 40 percent people who went to vote, almost all of them are going to vote for brain. gracie.
