ah, wherever you are counting the program from today. welcome to moscow into the news our an rti good of your company. moscow has registered a daily record in new cove. it infections with more than $9000.00 cases in the past 24 hours. new restrictions are now being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for on vaccinated patients are tease elite, a tranquil has the latest 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 going on? it looks like the new delta varian,
5:02 pm
which 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 resist 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 ground breaking decisions, introduced by the medical authorities in the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required.
5:03 pm
if you are a patient with 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 the 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 for nothing less but
5:04 pm
a real vaccination boom. when the bladder approved his press secretary dmitri passcode was asked about what the kremlin makes of the new spikes and the measures . here's what the spokesperson replied. don't get even worse, and he tuition is due to 3 things the absolute, ny lives, and that is people failure to comply with restriction low vaccination rate and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti cobit measures in the russian capital have been extended till the end of june, namely, 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, i'd like to point out that so far, these are the measures that have been announced for their washing capital. this
5:05 pm
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. can other headline story today, according brussels, has ordered the british company astrazeneca to deliver 50000000 more doses of its cobit vaccine to the european union. by the end of september, the ruling follows a long running legal battle were supplied to lays on both sides or claiming victory or power space correspondents, charlotte reuben ski. dig deeper into the issue. both sides claiming victory. in this court case, over whether or not astrazeneca broke 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 court a few weeks ago. it was demanding in cool that astrazeneca before to supply some
5:06 pm
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 few 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 to 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, was the reason for this delay, therefore, astrazeneca see this being 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
5:07 pm
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 crowing 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 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 commissions lawyers had actually asked for. but this ruling was welcomed by lavonne delaine the commission precedent. this decision
5:08 pm
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 that our 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 in rebuttal of the idea of the, the european commission is wanting court today, after seneca has said that it's going to smash that deadline set by the court anyway. and many will be perhaps wondering, given the circumstances surrounding astrazeneca how it's been seen hearing you
5:09 pm
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 truck regulator. when he was asked whether the idea that astrazeneca should just be entirely ditch now is a job. he said, yes, it should, begging the question why this went to court in the 1st place. moving the program or no swiss voters of approved and new anti terror lawn
5:10 pm
a referendum. it allows police to keep tabs on people and children as young as 12, with a court order. there's concern about the new law you and special repertoire and torture needles. meltzer has called it on professional, inefficient and dangerous. last year, experts appointed by the un human rights council said the legislation since a dangerous precedent alumnus the international said it's open the new year of general life suspicion. your senior correspondent morocco, the reporting from spectrum. the re juice, cabal, and the tax and stabbings in recent years have rattled society while the thing led to another in switzerland is now home to the most draconian count tara laws. in 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 state, uncheck powers, they can, and they did 57 percent voted in
5:11 pm
a referendum for these. the question is that people fully understand what they were 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 for them to take part in interviews which means interrogate the 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 i'm the senior national. this law is extremely problematic because winter and iraq generalized suspicion. any person can
5:12 pm
be targeted by this definition of terrorist activity, a definition that 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 getting 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 him. it's it's a hob. before you do something you might regret. and the sweets are still very much 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 a judge has ordered those measures,
5:13 pm
a voltage in favor to protect our population. exactly. i think it's necessary unfortunately, because some people they don't have exactly the same manner of thinking. respectfully, i'm so one. so terrorist 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 activity? if you google something that someone might construe as dangerous view cracked, or a bad joke. if your friends fall in a law enforcement raider,
5:14 pm
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 is, that don't agrees with the strategy from our federal county 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 again to define it 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 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,
5:15 pm
but chances are great at the end of the day. so with authorities on 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 alter district in the russian province of crimean has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead, and 8 others injured. 100 subbing. evacuated from the city center after torrential rains cause the river to 1st despite the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated. there are fears of a likely life. one local post of this city on social media. as you can see, an ambulance is struggling to move through fast flowing, muddy water. the old tad ministration is the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency health water supplies in the district. camping switched off on

5:17 pm
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 on folding in several other parts of crimea. a total of 4 districts have no declared a state of emergency the latest being fuel dosier cur, off where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of crutch is one of the worst affected disaster stroke there on wednesday nights when hundreds residential buildings where flooded streets essentially turned to rivers and cars were mostly submerged. more than a 1000 residents of the area and are seeing a temporary shelters. the top official in crimea visited the city earlier to oversee the rescue operation. this video from courage has gone

5:19 pm
terrified why the sudden increase in prices is this temporary, what can be done to tame this cruelest form of taxation and working ah, conservative republicans near once will use against binding the same tactics that republicans had to see common from democrats after consume. so they would accuse, bite him to be into a softer, indecisive, of electronically agenda. not off enough to definitely they will try to sabotage some of the agreements that have been reached. geneva the

the latest confrontations for last month's 11 day war between israel and gals, at base militant from children 70 people died in the context of the vast majority. on the policy side, we talked to is really defense and political commentator, amir or, and you think something was really government may take and even tougher stance on homeless bennett elia re, needs career vowed to dismantle, come scene, 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 tonight, he's probably going to try and retaliate for even the smallest publication, such as an inferior balloon. we choose, of course, quite a nuisance. he does the farmer's fields along the boulder, but no casualties have been reported. nevertheless,
5:22 pm
bennett's and he's a cabinet colleagues are not going to wait for any rocket attack and casual piece before the retail. so the signals are going back and forth across the border. hopefully there will be some sort of political follow up to the cease fire because justice fire never holds. the pentagon is warning the terrorist groups enough gun us down could expand their reach after the u. s. polite non pose an international thread. the issue was raised in the senate hearing would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like al kayden, 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
5:23 pm
that capability. fair enough, gentlemen, i, 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 afghan security forces, that risk would obviously increase. but right now it's a medium and a about 2 years or so. and they had all that polite. there are already signs that the u. s. backed off gun government is losing control of the country. now as the taliban has reportedly captured at least $27.00 district since the beginning of last month, that equates to almost half the country. the militant group has tried to take the entire nation and establish this lumnick emirates of afghanistan. back in april, president biden pledge to remove all us troops by september 11th, but was pushed back from may 1st. the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump on the telephone. but u. s. military leaders have repeatedly cautioned against any kind of deadline. thing the draw tone should be based on the security situation on the ground rather than a specific date, anti war activist brian becker,
5:24 pm
thanks. some senior figures in the u. s. are looking for a pretext to stay. and if chemist we see here is a tug of war between those 2 are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan is then 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 archived as a severely weakened course. so obviously the military again, yes, there might be a need to continue u. s. military presence. yes, there's a m, stay a medium warning that kind or i can come back. but again, i think there's
5:25 pm
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. the inmates of a texas prison are being relocated to make room for migrants after a spike in crimes committed by people illegally crossing into the u. s. from mexico . the texas governor has justified the decision by saying that the state has to pull the rule of law by its own means and reiterated his claim that the by the ministration is ignoring the ongoing humanitarian crisis of the border. your sar teeth kill up like been 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
5:26 pm
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 a 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. 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
5:27 pm
a border wall. busy of their own, 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 the 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 comma le 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 members of congress, while we visits with the people in 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
5:28 pm
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 back 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 his administration 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 trump iraq. i'm a 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 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
5:29 pm
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. deeper dive into that much more besides is as always, just a click away and r t dot com and i am back in just over 30 with all your local news updates as we welcome the weekend to catch me the biggest mortgage of ours. and we just always dress covered up, no stimulation directly connected to domestic and assistance, which is a 100 founded to everybody. and it contains millions of little
5:30 pm
if you exposure to decal muscles, millions they are going to work talk a lot about wal plano energy and also use all those as a metaphor to elucidate so many as a big trans happening in geo politics from finance. hey folks, welcome to dennis miller plus one. now listen, i have to send up a flare. i don't know the world of reality tv all that much. but we chatted before the shelf buried. i shrug lady christian cavalry, and she at least seized the reins and jumped off course, you know, or from the popular reality series laguna beach for i think they were all wow kids there. and then she joined the spin officers in the hills. that was huge. i remember hearing that all the time the last 2 seasons and also had.
