absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing in vegas is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. the moscow grim record is the daily number of cobra 19 cases. so what all the time high cities mass and the raft of new measures the us was an echo both claim victory and a legal battle over vaccine supplied the lays of the court ordered the pharmaceutical giant to deliver 15000000 more doses by the end of september. and devastating floods leave at least one person dead and 8 injured in southern russia. the crimea province, myself and provincial reign, rivers to reach the banks for districts now declared a state of emergency ah,
8:01 pm
law for moscow. thanks for joining us. and arthur, and i shall, i'm daniel who can with you till sunrise. welcome to the program. now, moscow has registered daily record and new covert infections with more than line 1000 cases. in the past 24 hours, new restrictions are now being brought in, including limiting no emergency medical care for all of x and i did. patients, ortiz elizabeth franco 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,
8:02 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. 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.
8:03 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 a real vaccination boom. when the bladder approved as press secretary,
8:04 pm
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 and he tuition is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions. so low vaccination rate and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti cobra 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 floor than 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
8:05 pm
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 live a 50000000 or more doses of its current vaccine to the e. u. by the end of september, ruling for a long running legal battle over supply delays and both sides claiming victory or power space correspondent charlotte davinsky digs 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 be forced to supply some extra deuces, meaning it would have to bring a $120000000.00 doses of $900.00 jobs to the european union by the end of
8:06 pm
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 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 lloyd's, he said, what's the reason for this delay, therefore, astrazeneca i 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
8:07 pm
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 president. this decision confirms 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
8:08 pm
confirms this, 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 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
8:09 pm
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 of the cook with 900 task force. this is food 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. with the voters of approved the new anti terror lawyer referendum allows police to keep tabs on people and children as young as 12, without a court order. as concern about the new legislation,
8:10 pm
un special repertoire on torture, niels melson has call it unprofessional, inefficient and dangerous. last year experts appointed what the un human rights council said. the legislation sets a dangerous precedent. while i'm at the international said, it's oakland, an era of general i suspicion is a senior correspondent where i guess the reporting from switzerland the 3 jews for 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 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 that people fully understand what they were voting for. thank you.
8:11 pm
feler noticed, i think a lot of people are not aware how dangerous the slot is and as it is cutting into the freedom of all activists in this country. and now you can be imprison 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 the for any reason that they deem good enough. i will be a, the put suspect 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, do, i'm the international. 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
8:12 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 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 dis me give authority is it gives them ground to take measures against citizens before a judge has ordered those measures have all in favor to protect our population. exactly. i think it's necessary unfortunately,
8:13 pm
because some people in class don't have exactly the same manner of thinking. respectfully and so one. so terrorist 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 suspect. so wide and vague is the definition of terrorist activity . if you google something that someone might construe as dangerous, do, 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
8:14 pm
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 account to for example, but what is coming that their basic can lock away everyone. so i mean, it's even harder than patrick back. i think it will be used most likely against this climate activist, but i think the much bigger problem that i see because the place except that, that kind of accurate 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 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 aren't monsters lay care for their people. the question is, the future,
8:15 pm
how future rulers will we'll this lot, and that's what worries people the county district in the russian province of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead. and 8th, others injured. hundreds of been evacuated from the city centre off intervention rains caused a river to birth its banks. the area surrounding the local power station has been inundated, are fears of a likely black help. one local posted this video on social media. as you can see, an ambulance is struggling to move through fast flowing muddy water. the administration is off, the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency health. water supplies in a district have been switched off already. so telling people to stuck up on bottle drinking water, we heard from a reporter in the city. man for the situation has no stabilize to achieve. the rain
8:16 pm
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 and 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 street to 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 sheets, and i'm assuming that we can now say for certain that the weather has come down. but just yesterday you could only cross the road here. if you were to meet or hide 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 sold 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
8:17 pm
jumped in the water to get people out. well, that is similar picture unfolding and several other parts. crimea, a total of 4 districts, 7 are declared, a state of emergency the latest being philadelphia, and cure of where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of cuts is one of the worst affected. bizarre struck there on wednesday night when hundreds of residential buildings were flooded. streets turned to rivers and cars were mostly submerged. more than a 1000 residents have fled the area thing in temporary shelters. the top official and crimea visited the city earlier to oversee the rescue operation, where this video from courage has gone viral on line 3, people can be seen swimming behind the boat, which was carrying the head of the crimea administration. official says they will, rescues, helping vessels move through the flooded streets and they'll be given awards for their work would be much easier still to come us military
8:18 pm
sheets, whatever, resurgence of terrorism and i've kind of thought perhaps reaching as far as the us itself. the softer withdrawal of american troops from the country, examine those claims to the break. the oh i use ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer
8:19 pm
lation? for community? you're going the right way. where are you being that somewhere which direction? what is truth? was his faith in the world corrupted. you need to this end. ah. so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, we're going to talk a lot about law plano energy and also use all those as a metaphor to elucidate so many of the big trans happening in geo politics and finance. ah, the welcome back to the program is really warplanes of pounded garza for the past
8:20 pm
to night. less than a month into a fragile seas for with a mass. israel says the res, response to incendiary balloons launched from gothic 45. when i was really farmland, according to the idea of several, how my targets were hits, no casualties have been reported on either side on a city in groups started launching those balloons earlier in the week in response to march 1 jewish nationally through our neighborhoods in jerusalem meanwhile, lloyd palestinian voters this i've been injured in classes with israeli police in jerusalem about a 1000 people gathered on temple mount off a friday, pres some held rocks at security offices, i think tried to clear the area least responded with rather, but it's an on going to the latest confrontation last month, 11th a war between israel and gas garza based militant more than $270.00 people died in that conflict of auth majority. on the palestinian side,
8:21 pm
we spoke to is really defined and political commentator, oran, who thinks that the new israeli prime minister will seek to take a tough stone on her mouth. bennett, elio re, needs career vowed to dismantle, come a 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 to night. he's probably going to try and retaliate for even the smallest publication, such as an inferior re balloon, which is of course, quite a nuisance. it does been the farmers fields along the border, but no casualties have been reported. nevertheless, bennett and he's a cabinet colleagues, are not going to wait for any rocket attack and to piece before the retail. so the signals are going back and forth across the border. hopefully there will be
8:22 pm
some sort of political follow up to the fees fire because justice the supplier never holds. the pentagon is warning that terrorist groups and i've got to thought could expand their reach off to the u. s. pull out and pose an international threat issue was raised in a 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 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 afghans security
8:23 pm
forces, that risk would obviously increase. but right now i'd say medium in a about 2 years or so. while ahead of the pull out there already signed the us back, staff can government is losing control of the country as the taliban has reportedly captured at least 27 districts. since the beginning of last month, american group has valid to take the entire country and establish an islamic emerett all that kind of thought. now back in april, president biden removed or pledge to remove all us troops by september 11th. that was pushed back from may. the 1st, the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump, butler taliban. u. s. military leaders, though, have repeatedly cautioned against any kind of deadline, saying the drawdown should be based on the security situation on the ground, rob the, a specific date, anti war activist from becker, thanks for some senior figures in the us are looking for a pretext to stay and i've got to start we see here is a tug of war between those 2 are insisting that the u. s. they, for ever an afghan,
8:24 pm
it's then and those who feel that the war is not winnable, it's 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 conflate 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 us military presence. yes, there's a m, stay a medium warning that kind or i can come back. but again, i think there is 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
8:25 pm
a texas prisoner 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 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 and the ongoing monitoring crisis at the border artes caleb morphin report branches destroyed threats to resonance. lots of chaos, texas border sheriffs say in the 30 years they've been guarding the border. they have not seen anything like it. crimes related to illegal border crossings by undocumented workers are now on the rise. i've never seen it quite like this. we have always had a fence. got here. fence got there because they're hauling dope or small kids or something. but we've never seen the intentional big 4 by 4 holes in the fans or now a 10 foot section just can't completely out. that's really starting to bother me.
8:26 pm
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 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,
8:27 pm
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 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, 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
8:28 pm
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 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
8:29 pm
real solutions. caleb martin, r t. new york. who must heading away in a few mom. it's time for us. you saw his commentary brings behind the bullets examining the impact of gun violence on the shooter that he would return. and often with the latest join us again than me, ah, ah ah, ah.
