ah, the ah bosco says the grim record is the daily member of cobra, $900.00 cases, the source total time high, the city as an else, a raft of new measures. while the you and asked resent of both claim victory and a legal battle over vaccine supply, the life of the court orders, the pharmaceutical joining to deliver 15000000 more by the end of september and devastating floods leave at least one person dead and 8 injured in southern rushes and from the problem of the torrential rain with which the banks for districts have declared a state of emergency ah,
9:01 pm
law from moscow. thanks for joining us tonight. and i should love daniel hawkins with you till sunrise. welcome to the program. the most go has where you sort of daily record in you cobra 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 underestimated 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, a 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 recreated in india,
9:02 pm
is taking its toll on the washing 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 though and now they are rushing to change that. now, here's one of the groundbreaking decisions introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required.
9:03 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 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, a 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 prudence press secretary dmitri passcode was
9:04 pm
asked about what the kremlin makes of the new spikes and the measures, here's what the spokesperson replied. don't get even worse name. he tuition is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions, the little vaccination rate, and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti colbert 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
9:05 pm
a warning from the authorities that all 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. because in brussels has ordered the british company astrazeneca to deliver 50000000 more doses of its coven vaccine to europe in union. by the end of september, the ruling follows a long running legal battle over a supply delay and both sides claiming victory. paris face correspondence shot libyans key 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 doses of 900 jobs to the european union by the end of
9:06 pm
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 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 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 vaccine which we are delivering at no profits to help protect people in europe and
9:07 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 lewis 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
9:08 pm
consensus. this shows the european vaccination campaign not only delivers for our sits since day by day. it also demonstrates that it was founded on a sound legal basis. but this is a pretty hollow victory if it is a victory in any sense because european commission and perhaps it's just trying to save face by saying that, why? well, the deadline that's been set by the court, which is the end of september, is a deadline. the astrazeneca said it was looking at working towards any way towards the end of this year, delivering all of the doses that it was supposed to. and, and rebuttal of the idea 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,
9:09 pm
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 fail 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 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. with the vote has approved a new anti terror. lauren referendum. it allows police to keep tabs on people and children as young as 12, without a court order is concerned about the new legislation. un special repertoire on
9:10 pm
torture mills, meltzer, has coolant, unprofessional, inefficient and dangerous. last year, experts appointed by the us human rights council said legislation sets a dangerous precedent international and said it's open. an era of generalized suspicion is a senior correspondent world gas via reporting from switzerland the 3 jews per 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 a referendum for this. the question is that people fully understand what they were voting for. thank you. feel annoyed. i think
9:11 pm
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 in prison 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 force them to take part in interviews, which means interrogate them for any reason that they deem good enough. i will be a, the port 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 do i'm this international. this law is extremely problematic because renter and iraq generalized suspicion where any person can be targeted by this definition of terrorist activity at the finish. and that does not correspond to that providers and the criminal code and does not correspond to international standards,
9:12 pm
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, their preventative by design. and preventative is a very controversial thing. he ordinarily, if you commit that 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, a voltage in favor to protect our population. exactly. i think it's necessary unfortunately, because some people in class don't have exactly the same manner of thinking.
9:13 pm
respectfully, i'm so one. so carol, reason can be everywhere it's it's really the terrorists come from government. no, 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 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
9:14 pm
a law. and it's the, even the big shame is that the people accepted it. everyone that is, that don't agrees with the strategy from our federal counsel for example, but what is coming that their basic can lock away everyone. so i mean, it's even harder than that. the pathway that 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 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 on monsters lay care for their people. the question is, the future,
9:15 pm
how future rulers will we'll this lot, and that's what worries people yell to districts in the russian province of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead, an 8th injured hundreds of evacuated from the city center off, the torrential rains cause the river, its banks. the area surrounding local power station has been inundated. there are fears of unlikely black out what local posted this video and social media. you can see. and i've been struggling to move through fast flooding. muddy water. delta administration has all the russian black c fleet station nearby to provide emergency help or does applies in the district tapping switched off authorities. so telling people to stuck out on bottled water. we heard from a reporter based in the city. i've been long and for the situation has no stabilized. at least the rain has stopped before that it rained for 11 hour
9:16 pm
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 started fishermen. 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 emergency services rescued to families who are trapped inside their homes by the floods and other locals help them to also provide moral support. braver one jumped
9:17 pm
in the water to get people out well as a similar picture unfolding in several other parts of crimea. a total of 4 districts have not let a state of emergency the latest being fear, dosier, and cure off where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of cuts is one of the worst effected is also struck on wednesday nights when hundreds of residential buildings were flooded. streets center, rivers and cars were mostly submerged. more than a 1000 residence of fled the area. i was staying a temporary shelters. the top officials in crimea visited the city to oversee the rescue operation with the video from catch how's going to fall on line 3, people can be seen swimming behind the boats, which was carrying the head of the crimean administration. official says the rescue is helping vessels move through the flood of streets and they'll be given states awards which is really war. planes of pounded garza for the past tonight for less than
9:18 pm
a month into a fragile ceasefire with a math. israel says, raise a response to when things are re for lose lot from gaza. gordon 5 on is really farmland, according to the idea of several, how much targets were hits. no casualties have been reported on either side. i sit in groups thought a lot, seeing those balloons earlier in the week in response to march by jewish nationalists through our neighborhoods in jerusalem. meanwhile, law and palestinian protest, this have been injured in classes with his police in jerusalem about a 1000 people gathered on several miles off the friday. pres some held rocks at security officers. they tried to clear the area. police responded with rubber bullets underneath that i just confrontations follow last month. 11th day war between israel and garza based militant more than 270 people died in that conflict. the vast majority on the palestinian side, we spoke to his reading,
9:19 pm
defense and political commentator on the organ who thinks that the new is really prime minister will seek to take a tougher stop on bennett, elio re needs career vowed to dismantle. hum a scene. 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 and retaliate for even the smallest publication, such as an inferior balloon. we case, of course, quite a nuisance. it does been the farmers fields along the 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 schedule peace before the retaliate . so the signals are going back and forth across the border. hopefully there will
9:20 pm
be some sort of political follow up to the cease fire because justice, the lawyer never holds the pentagon, his warning that terrorist groups, and i've got to thought i could expand their reach after the us pull out and pose an international threat. the issue was race and a senate hearing i would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like al qaeda and ices regenerating inside of afghanistan and presenting a threat or a 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
9:21 pm
forces, that risk would obviously increase. but right now it's a medium and a about 2 years or so. one of the pull out there are already signed the us back to have gone government to losing control of the country as a ton about as a reportedly captured at least 27 districts. since the beginning of last month, the medicine group was allowed to take the entire country and establish an islamic everett of afghanistan. back in april, president joe bought and placed the removal us troops by september 11th. that was pushed back from may. the 1st, the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump on the taliban. but u. s. military leaders have repeatedly cautioned against any kind of deadline saying the drop down should be based on the security situation on the ground rather than a specific date. and he will respond, becca thinks 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
9:22 pm
is in 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 to complete that with the isis or isis is in afghanistan because of the us invasion of afghanistan. there was no isis prior to 2001. and our kite is a really weak and core. so obviously the military again. yes, there might be a need to continue us military presence. yes, there's, and we em 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 maids of
9:23 pm
a texas prison are being relocated to make room for migrant small for spike and crimes committed by people illegally crossing into the u. s. from mexico. the texas governor has justified the decision by saying the state has to uphold the rule of law by its own means and reiterated his claim that the bind the ministration is ignoring the ongoing humanitarian crisis at the border. he's caleb wolf and reports 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 fence or now a 10 foot section just can't completely out. that's really starting to bother me.
9:24 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,
9:25 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 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 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, 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
9:26 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
9:27 pm
real solutions. caleb mob been r. t new york. up next on you know, commentary brings behind the bullets examining the impacts of gun violence on the shooter. it was in the us. you can see what's in the hawks, we're back in 30 minutes of the latest to join us again. the me look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs
9:28 pm
with artificial intelligence. real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence, was to be moving about and we just always dress covered up. no stimulation directly connected to dramatically assistance, which is 800000 everybody. and it contains millions of little money. if you exposed to decor, muscles, millions, work. ah, ah,
9:29 pm
he's really good to want to be okay with i will do this. how can i get your sit with your dad? you see your dad from room
