jobs. we hear from someone who suffered severe convulsions after being inoculate. those full body from boston. tremors. brain fog has safely me. i still have not recovered a return to rationing people in south africa are forced to shoot for essentially 4 hours after a hundreds of shops are looted. nuts after rioters go on, the rampage. don't have money to buy food for children. no, no, no money to pay the rent where it was. so digging like, what are we going to do now? because we're going to, going to do again, they're going to break it again. ah, one minute path 1 pm this saturday here in moscow i'm, you know neil on 30 minutes of news and views start now at least the

150 people are known to have been killed and flooding. us. devastated parts of central europe. entire towns, villages have been left in ruins. many more people are still missing as intense rescue efforts. continue. ortiz peter oliver is on the ground for us in germany. devastation that was being left in the wake of waters that told through towns like this one in western germany leader of the state of nor throwing west farm and number one contender to be next chancellor of germany and lush. it is called the flood a historic disaster countries going through the flooding catastrophe on the historic scale. almost as the waters have started to receive by into something close to their normal levels. you can see the trail of destruction that's being left by the flood that ripped through towns like this one. these folder buildings that were in

the past didn't stand much of a chance. the river flows just over my left ton shoulder here, where you can see it only does it destroyed everything is constant there. but on a molten house, just behind me, torn half of the side of the building off in some places in the flooded region. the clean up has been able to start. i was here, i just finished cleaning up stock was about to sit down to enjoy a cup of coffee. when it all started, suddenly, the water came flooding him from above. from behind from all sides, i only had time to move away my car and it was all covered and water already. it was quite right. my son called me last week and he said, the bass come to its flooded. we thought, oh okay, that goes to basement. and then a day later, the whole flat was water. we had to sit upstairs in the bedroom and here we are now for a big clean up an all too common fight in towns in this area of the belongings of people out on the side of the street sultan from the fluid was to the toll and

through the houses, but another common sight, things like this cause tossed around as if they'd been toys the force in which the water came through these areas. really the evidence and just how much damage was able to cause and how easily it was able to pick up tons of metal and slow them one side of the flood waters, cruelly indiscriminate. while some places have been utterly destroyed, others have been incredibly lucky. just meters away from those places that have been ruined. some houses left pretty much untouched, but they are the ones in the minority. others not so lucky, hartman clean can begs home was right in the path of the swollen river. some of the woods came to this level level one and a half meters walked, then spilled over with all of the strength of what would have been in the river as well, and headed over towards that house over there. wouldn't us food,

i've not experienced that incense the years living here? it was unbelievable. the water seemed to gather itself up in the mountains and then with one big wave come down and hit us here. the st right in front of us turned into white water rapids just like a rebuttal. there were people in the basement were trying to get out, but from inside you could not open the door because of the more too pushing against it. this is terrible. we had very good information, but people did not listen. they ignored it and they did not listen to it. we were told that we were going to have pretty bad weather. and from year to year it gets worse. you just have to accept it and respect it. and this was not done. it was dismissed is not a big deal. something that we could handle, you know, we did not have it on the control. man is so small against nature. here we see. so many people you don't expect people to die in a flood. in germany. you expected maybe in poor countries, you don't expect to hear. it's unbelievable because i've heard

a strange noise. so there was opening the front door and then what was coming from everybody. and i just pressed hard, pushed hard to close the door and then needed to help my son. and together we could close the door. there's so many tragedies, so many lives which are gone now and the searching for people and the thick sledge shows you exactly where the water is reached. if we come up through this courtyard here, you can see some gas tanks over my right shoulder, 2000 and liters full gas there. thankfully the seals on those tanks didn't break because they were picked up and jostled around by the flood waters that came through here. put into perspective a little bit of just how ferocious those waters were over there over my left shoulder. where those washing machines are. they used to be a caravan caravan, is now here inside of the ridge, you can see through the other side of the ridge that the,

the river flows exactly on the other side of the property. that a hole in the wood off the side of the garbage and told the concrete as well as it moved its way through here, a force of nature that's left the trail of destruction, of the human cost to fill. not being calculated of this natural disaster. when it eventually get thrown, to calculating the financial cost of what's happened to throw it into the hundreds of millions of euro. if not more, what we are seeing at the moment, those towns like this one completely evacuated because the biggest fear of the authorities is that more rain could see those water levels rise again. already recon building swells. they could then be the next ones that end up collapsing, and this is certainly a devastating natural disaster that struck west in germany. it's one that isn't over yet. peter, all of a r, t in west in germany. the economic impact of the corona virus

has left italy facing its highest poverty levels for 12 years. the numbers are still continuing to grow as well, with masses of people out of work and businesses struggling to survive. we heard from locals and one of the hardest hit regions to live. and so they gave the until a few years ago, i was an entrepreneur who gave worked 40 family for you today. i am 60 years old and i feel humiliated. i feel like analogy to us for arms at this age, charity to try to move forward to survive. the much of the situation is dramatic. there are people who previously had shops and restaurants now have to close everything. they can no longer reopen because they have no more money. many people have turned to charities and their new poor, queuing up trust for food. what a bad situation you're paying. so the question of this is total destruction. it's a situation that is truly frightening. the number of poor people is increased. they line up to ask for food. it is terrifying. they also go to churches to us for money

and alimony. unfortunately, this is the current situation. this is the new reality. so when you know those who had little money already have nothing left and i get a horse who bought those who did not have a job and already financially struggling, now cannot even pay their rent. i know people from this neighborhood well off and now back forms have very bad situation. where latest figures show more than 5000000 people in italy now live in absolute poverty. defined as household income being below a level, which makes it impossible for the person or family to meet basic needs of life, such as food shelter. the canterbury mix up almost 10 percent of the entire sicilian population. another significant number of families live in relative poverty. local authorities say it's a desperate situation. we've just got the new poverty, which is terrible. there are too many new pull people who didn't used to be for

having serious psychological consequences. i want to make an appeal. i will keep making the regional leadership and the regional administration say yes, sometimes because they keep saying no. i was told by some organizations that they are affected because people who were donating a contribution on to last year, a poor now and seeking a contribution. therefore, there are no doubt of the situation is really complicated. a week economy like sicily was damaged by covert. another voice in this story from a chore at the organization in palermo that supports people in need does an increase the food requests. indeed, man, if i was asking foot all the families asking for shelter because they not have a job anymore, people have started sending emails to requesting aid. for example, one incident the particular struck me was about one couple. they asked for sultan christmas eve. we imagined them like the now the, with the family coming and asking for help. in these situations we hosted these

people in a, b, and b to give them a certain dignity. another incident concerned the child to cold, asking for sultan because his father lost his job in his home. consequently, there are many such incidents were involved in russia and china are undermining trust in western vaccines and a bid to promote their own jobs. that's the claim being made by the white house, which saves misinformation, is being used to exaggerate the risk of side effects from american and european made shots. but just based in reality, are those allegations kill him open? asked the question. there is a huge anti vax movement in the united states. many americans are simply refusing to get vaccinated for over 19. so we figured it wouldn't be too long before the white house started pointing, as usual, suspects russia and china has promoted their own vaccines through messaging that undermines western origin vaccine does help development programs. so you know,

that is more than just competition about vaccines. the risk and impact there is that this type of information magnifies the risk of potential side effects associated with western vaccines. this is what the, what the information some of this misinformation is doing. it seems like what the white house spokesperson is saying is that reporting on the findings of u. s. federal agencies is somehow just information because it was the us food and drug administration that came forward and recently warned about the johnson and johnson, single dose, coven, 1900 vaccine. and the fact that it could actually cause gillian bar syndrome, which is an auto immune disorder that attacks the nerves and could result in paralysis. now these cases have been rare, but this is according to the food and drug administration. the u. s. federal government agency now it was officials in denmark who recently suspended the use of the johnson and johnson and astro venica vaccines, citing possible harmful effects. but apparently that's just information,

even though it came from the danish ministry of health. it's also worth noting that on this accusation of competition, the main reason that people traveled to russia to get the vaccine was simply because they didn't want to wait for months to be vaccinated. here's what they said in the 30 people my age of can. busy lead to be vaccinated after the summer. so very far i decided to make initially 9 most. now when it comes to damaging information about the vaccine, the white house certainly made quite a few gaps. so take a listen. we are quite focused on communicating directly with those people, hence our special guest today about why it's important to get vaccinated. why do you fact scenes are safe? why they can still kill you even if you are under the age of 27. we need to be clear and direct about our messaging. i guess that's what the buying and ministration considers to be. direct messaging or multiple cases of severe side

effects have been reported from coven vaccine. one example is angelie as the sales case, which 1st came to global attention after she received the pfizer job in january. a warning you may find some of the images were about to show distressing angelie as some sure the videos and facebook showing. ringback his mother shaking violently in hospital post vaccination. he said she suffered severe convulsions soon after getting the shot in louisiana, speaking to r t. and julia said she had no prior significant health issues and claims. the u. s . government is turning a blind to people like how do i know that i would have lost the use of my life? so what has been tara law? i never would have taken it. there was never the no inform content. what so ever about the side effects that i asked? right, there was definitely not enough of awareness about hey,

this could happen. see those full body convulsions, tremors, brain fog has stayed with me. i'm 6 and a half months out. now. i still have not recovered. if i do not take diver mexican daily, my symptoms come right back. we are completely. ringback brushed aside, and i think that's only because our government is trying to get to heard immunity and they're not going to address us or knowledge until they reach their goal. a vaccination, you know, it has been done. the ping demick, the u. k. truck and phrase up the tells people to isolate if they've been near a coven, courier. but it's led to hundreds of thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay at home. and despite cause for its sensitivity to be adjusted,

the health department is ruling out any changes. the health care sector itself has become a victim of the you. with a shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being canceled. there's been calls from the industry to allow a special exemption for metrics, but the department of health insist the up is doing its job and reducing the krona virus spread. questions have also been raised if the op is actually more necessary now given the widespread rule out of have a number of factor absence, some work including medical professionals which is had a large impact, some service flipper. it makes no distinction between and a work environment contacts where in full perfect equipment or outside of that environment. and one is unable to tell where the contact came from. it's extremely easy to accidentally forget to turn off the notifications and tracking on the most you are. so there are number of invest in the affected and therefore have to miss work as a result. in many professionals, understandably removing the app,

so they don't accidentally have the pink government been very clear that they don't wish a physician to do or anyone to believe the up. but always still actually independent mc tracking, tracing up with part of vice, elation they just and we didn't have any protection against this infection. but now having got the vaccination, having protected the own elderly and the vulnerable, having disconnected the wave of infection from the weight of death, i think we really have to us, we still in and i think mode actively. i really think we already got to the point where we're not really injecting those measures of track trace isolate social distance thing people are at the point where they've virtually back to normal. well, with coven infection rates soaring in the country, the apps working over time? only last week, more than half a 1000000 people were pinged and told to isolate, and not the figures only likely to grow with more than 26000000 people having done

loaded the emp, some industries are reporting that up to 20 percent of their stuff. i've been forced to stay at home. we got reaction to the current situation from people in london. probably for people who feel it says a moment one's right to to be straight up in things stop isolate and i can see the frustrations that people ha, so i can understand why some of deleted a particular effect work. well, it is very disruptive at the moment. i'm very frustrating. it's, it's, it's necessary at the moment until a better hold times if it's bad. i don't have the person the, i've never had it. and i just think this is the point, this me, i mean, if, if you come into contact with someone, you might have it. i mean then you decide later you might not have any symptoms. so down it up. but then it was just giving world information to me throughout the whole process, it has already been improved much. we keep the news rolling right after this,

they were the. ah, they cannot. they are to say that no politicians are under work. can you been there to say that to people? oh, we have to reduce the consumption. this is why so far the consumption issue did not was not taken up pretty seriously. so or but it's a very serious issue. so we cannot address the climate change issue unless the people around the word realize that we cannot continue overconsumption as we are doing now. the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation,

let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk to me the the, the, the, let's start back in south africa were huge, qs have formed outside stores there. the public buying comes after a week of some of the worst file and seen in the country in decades which left hundreds of shops, ransacked, and looted. tension exploded over the ceiling. a former president jacob's rumor on corruption charges local to speak of a desperate situation. there is not i fear stock is finished. i don't know what's

going to it's with my tad. i've got this much life for me. even in my life, i can buy this more thing like this because of this thing, i don't know what's going to do for the next 2 months. we're just trying to see what we can get to what's needed at home. what do i mean? shut off, just follow cupboards just to keep us going. but it's been a frustrating week due to the planning buying the is a shortage of bread ingredients. people are waiting in the cues for a long while. and it's actually sad to see that some bread trucks have been taken down and been thrown into the river. there are a lot of people out there, old young, sickly, that factoring to get just one loaf of bread blended. hundreds of shelves have been destroyed. volley, the looters. some locals have been forced to arm themselves to defend their businesses. seeing that the police are overrun, with instance,

others have lost literally everything wirelessly reports on how a family from one of the homeless burg poorest aries has been. i'm hearing had gone to township, which has seen some of the worst violence over the last few days for shopping. belonging to the theme brothers. from outside the country were destroyed. downstage nothing amazed at the shop. and upstairs where the brother lived and store they products. everything had been burned, the brothers were lucky to escape with their lives, but white now the brothers on feeding lucky. 25 years of work and savings gone up in flames during the electronics to groceries. when you come, when you come to brick, everything that took everything down money to buy food for children. no, no, no money to pay the rent where it was. so digging. what are we going to do now? because we're going to, going to do again,

they're going to break it again. so where are we going? what is that? to make a living room and it's cold and what's happened there? and, or in a closing my child, 7 o'clock. when i go to my room and i cooking cooking community, i eating finish 9 of love, people coming here, type bitten my shop and begging to get my, my done 500000 scope. brittany ditton, my sleeping room. and i'm tending a hiding my one corner people in the building my room damage. i think some of the brothers were sleeping here with the stock, the lose his grab everything in sight. and as they lift, set the room allies, television sets, electronics, cell phones, clothing, money,

and passports. everything has gone among the torch remains these nothing with salvaging and praying for god god. when i held men poor in clothes only 5 days in not having played nothing but a mega day. what fun it before, love don't focus. i'm paying now a 1000000. it's nice to set my looking to this for deal. if i did some skip play, my brothers came to south africa from bangladesh and looking for better life. the last reverberates halfway around the world. given me my family's from this part of my family's kind hungry when i'm making money, i eating my eating now. now making money parties losing my family hungry as many soft the wires lasted only a few days,

but shops are empty off to being looted. others are boarded up and delivery trucks are refusing to, with bringing in more supplies. so on top of everything, if a more south african on now going hungry policy or r t, alexandra the e u has long legal action against members states, hungary and poland over what it call us discrimination facing the l g b t. community europe will never allow parts of our sites are to be stigmatized. we start legal action against hunger and poland for violations of ponder. mental rights of l, g b t i q. people or several polish regions have adopted laws declaring themselves free of l g b t. ideology. furthermore, at warsaw is constitutional court. no said it rejects decisions by the use court of justice on brussels has similar troubles with hungry to

a new hungarian law of buttons, depictions of homosexuality and educational materials and tv shows for the under eighteens. the government has also ordered disclaimers to be puts on books, featuring gay content, stating they contained behavior, inconsistent with traditional gender rules. and it seems the local authorities perceive their laws differently to the use of the european parliament. and the european commission wanted to let the l g, b, t, q activists, and organizations in schools and kindergarten. hungary does not want that debate is about who decides which way we should be the children. according to the european founding treaties, this question evidently falls under the competence of the hungarians. it is a national competence v. you law has primacy over national law and all decisions by the european court of justice, including orders for entering measures or binding on member states authorities and

national court. interesting line that isn't it. geopolitical analysts run a rough 1st believe that you needs to widen its focus. the question for me also as an observer is, why does the you react on such as a ration of single government in only specific metric field. we look at other metric fields where government in the european union have violated law on the you have not seen that trick. for example, when the showing an area of the out of borders were not protected in 2015. no, really. if you read off that you do or have in theme government in depth to themselves, more than that, you regulation allowed no reaction in luck. the. we have over 200000 non task force for russian defendants who do not well enough the national
