finance ah the ah stories this hour must go said grim record of a daily number of covert 19 cases stores to an old time i the cities mirror, the raft. o, can you measure the industrial and again, both claim victory and illegal buffalo over a vice thing. supply delays, the court orders the pharmaceutical giant to deliver a 50000000 more doses by the end of december and also devastating floods leave at least one person dead. and 8 injured in southern rushes, crimea province after torrential rains, cause rivers to breach. there are bugs for district of victor to state

i 1 in the morning here in moscow. hope we find you. well, i'm, you know, neil and this isn't use our on our tea. moscow has registered a daily record in new coven infections with more than 9000 cases in the past 24 hours. new restrictions are now being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for our vaccinated patients are tease elia a trunk o can bring us up to date. 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 which are recreate with an 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. and 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 antibodies 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 ground breaking 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

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 job 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 for nothing less but

a real vaccination boom. when vladimir putin as press secretary dmitri pascal 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 in a he tuition is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions, the low vaccination rate and the slide nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti cove 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 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. okay, on a related theme, a cord in 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 over supply delays, both sides by the way, they are claiming victory or paris based corresponded charlotte tube and ski. dig deeper into the issue 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 court a few weeks ago. it was demanding in court that astrazeneca before to supply some

extra deuces, meaning you 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 ruled 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 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 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 lewis had actually asked for. but this ruling was welcomed by lavonne delaine the commission president. 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 l european vaccination campaign not only delivers for our sit 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 of 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

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 have been rejected from use all together. and that's because of those links that we keep hearing about with very rare but fatal blood clots. and also in the last few days, we heard from the head to the cook, with 900 task force. this is for european medicines 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. swiss voters of approves and new anti terror law in

a referendum. now it allows police to keep tabs on people and children. indeed as young as 12, without a court order. there's concern about the new law, un special repertoire and torture. needles melcher is called it unprofessional. inefficient and dangerous. last year, experts appointed by the un human rights also said the legislation. so it's a dangerous precedent. while amnesty international said it's opened an era of generalized suspicion. here's our senior correspondent, iraq garcia, reporting from switching between jews. the balance of the tax and stabbings in recent years have rattled society. one thing led to another in switzerland is now home to the most draconian counter terror laws in europe. it was the will of the people. that's the thing with swiss direct democracy, new middle met. i've people want to give police state, uncheck powers. they can and they did 57 percent voted in

a referendum for this. the question is that people fully understand what they were voting for. thank if you notice, 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 imprisoned when i 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 them for any reason that they deem good. i will be able to put suspect 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 extremely problematic because renter and iraq generalized suspicion any

person can be targeted by this definition of terrorist activity. a definition does north 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 the crime, for example, you get punished right. while preventative means you will stopped before you can commit the crop before 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 this may give authority is, is it gives them ground to take measures against citizens before

a judge has ordered those measures evoking in favor to protect the 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 carol, reason can be everywhere it's it's really the terrorists come from government. never, never terrors. come from every but nobody, nobody, no, no, no, on the government id vote for that. i know i was not very sure, but 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 prospect so wide and 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 reva,

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 you know, the strategy from our accounts who for example, but what is coming that the basic can lock away everyone. so i mean, it's even harder than that. the patrick back, i think it will be use most likely against this climate activists. but i think the much bigger problem that i see because the waste, except at 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,

but chances are great at the end of the day, sweet authorities and monsters lay care for their people. the question is, the future, how future rule is we'll, we'll this lot and that's what worries people ok, another story to bring you this our, the yalta district in the russian province of crimea secured a state of emergency. i'm in severe flooding which has left at least one person dead. 8 others injured 100. something evacuated from the city center for torrential rains cause the river to burst is fine. the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated. there are fears of a likely lockout by the way, one local posted this video on social media. as you can see and i'm balance is struggling to move through fast slowing muddy water. and in many examples like that, the altered ministration as us the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency health water supplies in the district. something switched off on

the authorities, are telling people to stock on bottle drinking water. we heard from a reporter in the city. i've been in 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 over 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 and the situation. she has everything under her personal control. and i'm starting the fisherman. we can now say for certain that the weather has come down. but just yesterday you could only cross the road here. if you're 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 and there is a similar picture on falling in several other parts of crimea. a total of 4 districts have not the 3rd a state of emergency, the latest being fuel, dosier and ker off at where there's been expense of flood damage over the city of courage is one of the worst effects. let's show you that disaster struck on wednesday night when han, it's a residential buildings were flooded, streets like that. what else can you call them? but rivers, cars, mostly submerged as well. more than a 1000 residents of fled the area, they're seeing a temporary shelters. most of the top officials crimea visited the city earlier to oversee the rescue operation. this video from kurtz has gone viral on line at

3 people can be seen swimming behind a boat doing there a bit. it was actually carrying the head of the crimea administration, the official said they were rescuers helping vessels move through the flooded streets enough to be given states awards for their work. well, what this is art international minutes past the hour, still ahead. u. s. military chiefs, one of the resurgence of terrorism enough again this done for ups reaching the as far as america itself, after the withdrawal of us troops from the country. we look at the claims why they're saying i this is your media a reflection of reality in

a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation for community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, we all see it and we all feel it. the significant increase of inflation has many economist concern and consumers. needless to say, terrified why the sudden increase in prices is this temporary and what can be done to take the coolest form of taxation and working

the look back to r t c is really war. planes are pounded garza for the past 2 nights. less than a month into a fragile cease fire with her muff. israel sees a rage where a response to incendiary balloons launched from gas causing fires. a lot of them all is really farmland. according to the idea, several hum us targets were at the no casualties were reported on either side. listed in groups, started launching those balloons earlier in the week in response to a marched by jewish nationalist through our neighborhoods in jerusalem. 9 post indian protesters have been injured and clashes with is really police in the city around a 1000. people have gathered on temper, month after friday prayers, some her rocks security officers. as they tried to clear the area,

police responded with rubber bullets and stunning grenades. when the lease is confrontations follow last month, 11th, a war between israel and girls at bass militants, some children 70 people died in the conflict of the vast majority of palestinian 5 we spoke to is really defense and political come to the mirror and he thinks that the new is really prime minister, will seek to take a tougher stance once more on from us. bennett l. the renewal career vote to dismantle. hum garza, he is 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 provocation, such as an inferior balloon. we choose, of course, quite a nuisance. it does been the farmers fields along the border, but no casualties have been reported. nevertheless,

bennett's and he's a cabinet colleagues, i'm 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 fees fire because justice, the fire never holds. the pentagon is warning the terrorist groups enough chemist on could expand their reach after the u. s. polite and put an international threat that was raised in the senator i 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 or allies. i would assess it as medium. i would also say center that, that it would take possibly 2 years for them to develop

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, and a about 2 years or so. and they had all the polite there are already things that the u. s. by golf going government is losing control of the country. the taliban has reportedly captured at least $27.00 districts since the beginning of last month . the military group is about to take the entire country and establish this law, make emerett of us get this done. back in april, president biden pledge to remove all us troops by september 11th was pushed back from may 1st, the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump in the telephone. but u. s. military leaders have repeatedly cautions against any kind of deadlines thing that draw done should be based on the security situation on the ground rather than a specific thing. if you were active as brian becker told me,

he believes some senior figures in the u. s. are looking for a pretext to stay in galler. we see here is a tug of war between those 2 are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan, 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 archive does this really weaken for so obviously the military again. yes. there might be a need to continue us military presence. yes, there's a m, stay,

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. the inmates of a texas prison are being relocated to make room for migrant south for a spike. in crimes committed by people illegally crossing into the u. s. from mexico. the texas governor has just defined the decision by saying the state house to uphold the rule of law by its own means on reiterating his claim that the by the administration is ignoring the ongoing humanitarian crisis. at the border, ortiz kill of open reports. branches destroyed threats to resonance. lots of chaos, texas borders 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. 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, the texas governor blames joe biden for dropping the ball. texas is going to do with the bi demonstration 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 right to invite you to the us to the border 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 on the ground who deal with these issues every day . house democrats were able to block a bill, but 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 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 era. 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

a failure it is in normal viewing term. 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. caleb martin, r t. new york. that's where we leave it for now. but just a reminder for up to the minute developments, to try and give her a twitter paycheck from time to time. i promise you will not be bored. live from moscow. this is our team. ah, ah, i use

the biggest mortgage and we just always dress covered up. no stimulation directly connected to their medical assistance, which is 100000 in everybody. and it contains millions of it. if you exposed to the muscles mail, you've been working on a lot about wild plano energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate. so many of the big trends happening in geo politics and finance.
