the the, the, the, ah, moscow sets a record of the day, the number of cobra, 900 casey source to an all time high cities. meds announced a raft of new measures to you and us presented both claim victory and illegal buffalo vaccine supply delays. the court ordered the pharmaceutical giant to deliver 15000000 more doses by the end of september. also this our devastating floods leave at least one class instead and 8 into its in southern russia, crimea, problems of health and parental reigns cause rivers to breach the banks. for districts have declared a state of emergency ah,
7:01 pm
life from oscar, thanks for joining us. the 19th and i shall. i'm daniel hawkins. whether you are welcome through the program. moscow has registered a daily records, a new cobit infections with more than 9000 cases. just over the last 24 hours, new restrictions are now being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for all the vaccinated patients. ortiz elizabeth frank, who 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
7:02 pm
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 variant. 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 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 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.
7:03 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 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
7:04 pm
a real vaccination boom. when latimer proved as press secretary, dmitri pascal 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, low vaccination rate, and the slight 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 their washing capital. this
7:05 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. a cause in brussels has all the british company astrazeneca to deliver 15000000 more doses of its co vaccine to the e. u. by the end of september, the ruling follows a long running legal battle over supplying the life and both sides, claiming victory or power space correspondence shot it, dubious key biggs, 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 when it's louis 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
7:06 pm
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 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, 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
7:07 pm
vaccine which we are delivering at no profits to help protect people in europe and around the world from the deadliest pandemic and generation. well, the european commission is also crowing that it had a victory in caught by this ruling by the belgian judge is well, why will that 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 commissions lawyers had actually asked for. but this ruling was welcomed by lavonne delaine the commission precedent. this decision confirmed the position of the commission astrazeneca did not live up to the
7:08 pm
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 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 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 the 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 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 here in europe.
7:09 pm
over 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. 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 for european medicines agency, which is the use of truck regulator. when he was asked whether the idea that astrazeneca should just be entirely ditched now with a job, he said yes, it should, begging the question why this went to court in the 1st place with the voters and for the new anti terror law in a referendum. it allows police to keep tabs on people and children as young 12,
7:10 pm
without a court order. as concern about the new legislation, you went in special repertoire on towards mil, smells of coolant, unprofessional, inefficient and dangerous. last year, experts appointed by the un human rights council said the legislation such a dangerous precedent. while on the same national service opened an era of general life suspicion is a senior correspondent, moral gas via reporting from switzerland. the swiss are 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 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 referendum for these. the question is,
7:11 pm
did 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 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. i will be able to put suspects as young as 15 and the house arrest for months and months and rights groups have been ringing. alarm bells about this. let me sit said durham, the scenes national. this law is extremely problematic because renter and iraq generalized suspicion any person can be targeted by this definition of terrorist activity at the finish. and that does not correspond to that providers and the
7:12 pm
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're stopped before you can commit the crop before it's a hob. before you do something you might regret, and the sweets is 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 a voltage in favor to protect our population. exactly. i think it's necessary
7:13 pm
unfortunately, because some people don't have exactly the same manner of thinking respectfully, so one reason can be everywhere it's it's really the terrorists come from government. never, never terrors. come from everybody. 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, all of us become prospects 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 radar, you can become suspect. i'm the freedom loving us with. for me, i mean it's
7:14 pm
a shame. it's an absolute shame that we have, that we have to vote for such a law. and if even the big shame is that the people accepted it, everyone that is, that don't agrees with the strategy from our account to, 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 will be fine activists. but i think the much bigger problem that i see because this waste 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 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 we authorities, aren't monsters lay care for their people. the question is the future. how future
7:15 pm
rule is we'll, we'll this law. and that's what worries people does, y'all to districts in the new in the russian province of crimea, has declared a state of emergency. i made severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead. and 8 others injured. hundreds of evacuated from the city center after torrential rains for the route, but its banks. the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated. there are fears over likely black out what a local post to this video and social media, as you can see. and i'm going and struggling to move through fast flowing muddy water. the delta ministration is off, the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency help would of lies in the district have been switched off. the authorities are telling people to stuck up on bottle drinking water from one reporter in the city.
7:16 pm
i've been long 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 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 in the situation. she has everything under her personal control. started we can now say for certain that the weather has come down, 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, fortune around the military, actually very professionally. they've provided all necessary aid. i saw the
7:17 pm
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. well, let's see what a picture unfolding in several other parts of premier as well. a total of 4 districts have now declared a state of emergency the latest being philadelphia. i'm curious where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of catch is one of the worst effect. the disaster struck there on wednesday night when hundreds of residential buildings were flooded . streets, tons of rivers and cars were mostly submerged. more than the 1000 residence of fled the area and staying a temporary shelter top official in front of the city earlier to oversee the rescue operation. well, this video from has gone viral on line 3. people can be seen swimming behind the boats, which she was carrying ahead of the try me and administration. official says they
7:18 pm
were rescuers helping vessels move through the flooded streets and will be given state awards for their work. with phil ahead, to honor to us military chiefs ward of a resurgence of terrorism in going to san perhaps reaching as far as america itself . withdrawal of us troops from the country we examine those claims after the break . ah ah, with me ah
7:19 pm
ah, i use we all see it and we all feel it. the significant increase of inflation has many economist concerns and consumers. needless to say, terrified why the sudden increase in prices is this temporary, what can be done to tame the cruelest form of taxation and working? ah, max program is ready. warplanes of pounded garza for the past 2 night, less than a month into a front row seat with mass israel. so the res reforms to incendiary balloons
7:20 pm
launched from gather, causing fire. when ready, form 9. according to the idea. several. how must targets were heads? no casualties have been reported on either side upon a city in groups thought in launching those balloons earlier in the week in response to mars by jewish nationalists through our neighborhoods in jerusalem. meanwhile line palestinian protesters have been injured in clashes with israeli police in the city about a 1000 people gathered on temple mounts off a friday, pres some held rocks at security officers as they tried to play the area. police responded with rather, but it's still grenades. where the nation's confrontation was last month, 11 day war between israel and gaza. basically nathan's more than 270 people, died in that conflict of off majority on the palestinian side. we spoke to his ready defense and political commentator, ami oren, who thinks that the new israeli prime minister will seek to take
7:21 pm
a tougher star from bennett. elliot renewed career vote to dismantle, come in gaza. 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. 1 and retaliate for the smallest provocation such as an incendiary balloon. we changed, of course, quite a nuisance. he does the farmer's fields along the boulder, but no casualties have been revolted. nevertheless, benefits 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 sees fire
7:22 pm
never holds the pens again, his warning that terrorist groups and i've got to thought i could expand their reach out to the u. s. put out and pose an international threat issue was raised in a sanitary i would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like l. k, the and ices 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 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 afghan security forces, that risk would obviously increase. but right now it's a medium and, and a about 2 years or so. while ahead of the pull out,
7:23 pm
there are already signs the us back to afghan government is losing control of the country as it's not about has reportedly captured at least $27.00 districts since the beginning of last month. but it's a group has developed to take the entire country and establish an islamic emeralds, all the canister on a back in april president joe biden, the place to remove all us troops by september 11th. that was pushed back from may . the 1st, the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump and the taliban. u. s. military leaders repeatedly cautioned against any kind of deadline, saying the drop down should be based on a security situation on the ground rather than a specific date. and you were activist braun becca, thanks. some senior figures in the us are looking for a pretext to stay and i've got to stop we see here is a tug of war between those 2 are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan us then, and those who feel that the war is not winnable, it's
7:24 pm
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 weekend for so obviously the military again, yes, there might be a need to continue us military presence. you asked me m stay a medium warning that al qaeda 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 remains of a texas prison, a being relocated to make room for migrant saw through
7:25 pm
a spike in crimes committed by people illegally crossing in the us from mexico and texas governor has justified the decision by saying that the state has to uphold the rule of law by its own means and reiterated his claim that the biden administration is ignoring the ongoing when a tearing crisis at the border of caleb morphine, referrals, 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 dill 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
7:26 pm
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 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,
7:27 pm
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 share the perspective of americans who live the. i encourage you to join me and other members of congress while we visit 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 common 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
7:28 pm
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. 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 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. i would say,
7:29 pm
ron now where the voting in the countries presidential election has come to a close. that window will replace her son, ronnie, who's served the maximum to turn. interior ministry has extended to voting by 2 hours due to crowds of falling stations, even though on official later just turn out is actually lower than the last election. the wrong see, justice librium racy is believed to be the clear front runner and one of the handful of candidates that made it through to the final ballot. analysts say victory for you see, could pave the way for him to become the next. supreme leader was powerful post iran lawyer and middle east x, but kura shimmer, shambler told us how a change in leadership could affect the nuclear deal. honey was just love the way the parliament supreme of the supreme guys. so they didn't, they didn't give him all the power to negotiate equally with the united states. now
7:30 pm
that conservative going to become the president, they are talking behind the curtain and they just waiting to sign a new deal. that's what they think with the americans, because they got the date that we were able to bring the run back to the international scene. and we're gonna, we're gonna be able to bring the economy back to give jobs to the job. and that the time they are holding, they don't want to rule needs to sign, but these, they want the new administration we're going to be at brian, right? the 2 scientists, the across talk coming away just a few mom. it's time for us. few as it's the world, according to jesse the team and i are back in half an hour. the latest you want to, again, the always be polite, never engage with an aggravated or confrontational office.
