9:02 pm
it's the south east of germany. that is being flattered by heavy heavy rain in the state of ferry, the beck, this guy, the agent has declared a state of emergency that was after by around 10 o'clock, 1030 on saturday evening. they seem record levels of war in that area with the funding at 3.50 meters. that's a record of beating the previous record with 3.12 me to set back in 20. i can 2012 now. what we're seeing is basically rivers. first bang slash floating torrance, of water flowing through towns and villages. the. the message is that people should stay away from the river banks as you would imagine, but also stay out of sellers of basement, lower floors or houses in particular. we've also seen people being rescued by helicopter, from areas in,
9:03 pm
in that particular part of area which is being hit by the floods. and it's not just that state they've been affected in germany a little bit further to the north in the states of saxony, where the saxon tries national park is. there's also serious problems there as well where people have to be evacuated from the town of 5 shots out. they are receiving huge amounts of rainfalls. their receipts of emergency in play in bed and train services have been suspended between that area. and the czech republic was just on the border as torrential rain and continues to fall throughout sunday morning for theme started on sunday evening. continuing through sunday morning australia as well also suffering at the hands of this latest heavy, heavy downpour of rain. just to the south of the city of results, book some dramatic footage coming out of towns there in which while the river has basically run straight through the whole town, an extreme flush flooding,
9:04 pm
blowing out windows and, and taking everything within those, those buildings out into the street and, and into the torrent of water as well. so that's the course the, the austrian chancellor has said it's all measures will be taken to keep people safe to get people out of areas that are, that are particularly dangerous following these the storms. and also that he stands in support with those and says they will support those areas to rebuild. but this is very much an ongoing situation in the, the south east, the east and southeast of germany, as well as in parts of austria as well. what we are going to see is the german chancellor angle american arrived here in the west of germany on a sunday, she's going to be visiting some of the scenes that were worst hit before the weekend. of course, she's going to end up talking about those areas that have been hit in the country over the weekend. they can only came back to the cro navarro has left italy facing
9:05 pm
its highest posted levels for 12 years. and i'm still continuing to grow as well with masses of people out of work and businesses struggling to survive from locals in one of the hardest hit regions. and so i gave the until a few years ago, i was an entrepreneur who gave work to 40 families today. i'm 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. 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, but a bad situation, your pain. 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 church,
9:06 pm
his trust 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 worse and worse, those who did not have a job and already financially struggling now cannot even pay their rent. i know people from this neighborhood have a well off, and now back forms have very bad situation. latest figures show more than 5000000 people in italy now live in absolute poverty. that's the fall of household income being below a level which makes it impossible for the personal family to meet basic needs of life, such as food or shelter. because through you makes up almost 10 percent of the client facility population, while another significant number of families live in relative poverty. local authorities say it's a desperate situation. we've discovered the new poverty which is terrible. there are too many new pole people who didn't used to be for having serious psychological consequences. i want to make an appeal,
9:07 pm
i will keep making the original leadership and the regional administration say yes, sometimes because they keep saying no, i was told by some organizations that there affects it because people who were donating a contribution on to last year, a poor. now and seeking a contribution, therefore, there are no doubt the situation is really complicated. a week economy like sicily was damaged by co. we've heard from one organization in palermo that supports people in need. as an inquest food request is indeed man. if i was asking foot all the families to ask him for shelter because they not have a job anymore, people have started sending emails to requesting a. for example, one incident, the particular struck me was about one couple. they asked for sultan christmas eve . we imagined them like the now there is 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,
9:08 pm
there are many such incidents were involved in the parish, our thousands of protests against ties and new co restrictions. that's what the french capital looked like on saturday. earlier in july, the government made vaccinations, compulsory to help work is giving them a mid september deadline. and from wednesday people will need a so called health fast to visit certain public places showing and recently inoculated recently had coded or passed a p. c. r test. from early august that also needed help for us to get into restaurants and cafes owners of such establishment out in for the parents project some same and i want to become the virus police or prominent figure in the yellow, vast movement on the french presidential candidate. jacqueline morrow thinks everyone should be free to choose whether or not to get vaccinated trumps even. yes, good this coffee. i believe that there are only trench people and try well, we're a manual microns he's vaccinated and then back to me,
9:09 pm
the people i only see french people. you shouldn't forget that. not everyone who haven't had the job or gifts because it's just the opposite of me. i'm not against it at all, but i want to be free to choose and give an informed decision. of course, old towns have consequences, but why they impose because the government is unable to handle the crisis properly . it's been dubbed the penguin demick case truck and trailer out that tells people to isolate if they've been near a co would carrier, it's led to hundreds of thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay at home. the spot calls for its sensitivity be to be adjusted to the health department is ruling out any changes the health care sector itself has become a victim of the out with a shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being canceled. i've been called from the industry to allow a special exemption for medics. the thought much of health insist though the but he's doing his job and reducing the career of our a spread questions also and raise if the app is actually even necessary. now, given the widespread roll out of vaccine, have
9:10 pm
a number of factor absence and works including medical professionals, which is had a large impact. some service slippers makes no distinction between and a work environment contacts wearing perfect equipment or outside of that environment. and one is unable to cow, where the contact came from is extremely easy to accidentally forget to turn off the notifications and tracking on the whilst you are. so there are a number of the best in the infected and therefore had to miss work as a result. in many professionals, understandably removing the act, so they don't accidentally have a pink government. been very clear that they don't wish physicians to do or anyone to believe the up, but always still actually independent mich tracking and tracing up with part of vice. elation they just don't. 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,
9:11 pm
i think we really have to us, we still in panic mode effectively. i really think we already got to the point where we're not really injecting those measure the track trace isolate social distance thing people are at the point where they've virtually back to normal with code infection, right. sobering in the country. the apps working over time, just last week, more than half a 1000000 people were pinging the and told to isolate, and i think there's only likely to grow with more than 26000000 people having downloaded them. some industries are reporting that up to 20 percent of the staff i've been forced to stay at home. got reaction to the current situation from people in london. police for people to leave me a moment. one's right to to be straight up in things stop isolate and i can see the frustrations of people. ha, so i can understand why some of the
9:12 pm
a particular can 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 i don't have the person the, i've never had it. and i just think to the point this personally, i mean if, if you come into contact with someone, you might have it. i mean, then you might not have any symptoms, so down it up, but then it was just giving roll information to me. throughout the whole process, it has already been improved. much huge cues are formed outside stores in south africa. they panic, buying comes after a week, or some of the was vaulted ceiling. the country in decades leaving hundreds of shops ransacked. tensions exploded over the jailing of for president j consumer on corruption charges local residents and workers speak of a desperate situation. there is not, i fear stock, it's finished. i don't know what's going through with my tad. i've got this my life
9:13 pm
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 we have, 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 battery to get just one loaf of bread. hundreds of shops have been destroyed by the loses with locals, having to all themselves to defend their business is saying. police are overrun, wirelessly reports that one on file money from one of your 100 works. forest areas
9:14 pm
has been coping. i'm hearing and exam township, which has seen some of the worst violence over the past few days. for shop, belonging to 15 brothers from outside the country were destroyed. downstage nothing remains of the shop. and upstairs where the brother live and store they products, everything had been burned. brothers were lucky to escape with a live, but white now the brothers on feeding. lucky. 25 years of work and savings gone up in flames. doing this on the electronic grocery when you come, when you come to brick, everything that took everything. don't have money to buy food for children now. don't money to pay the rent where it was. so digging like, what are you going to do now? because you will start again, they're going to do again. they're going to break it again. so we're going to make a living room and it's colonel. and what's happened there and, or in
9:15 pm
a closing my child, 7 o'clock, when i go to my room and i cooking cooking finished, i didn't finish 9 a club when it's coming here, type bitten my shop and begging to get my my done 500000 scope now brittany ditton, my sleeping room and i'm tending a i think my center one corner people in the building my room damage. i think that i die and some of the brothers were sleeping here with a stuck the looters grabbed 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 tortured remains. these nothing was salvaging and praying for god god,
9:16 pm
when i had man poor tempted in only 5 days in not having played nothing but for the day. what fun it before the benefits office. i'm not really anything just nice to set my looking for this for deal. if i did skip play my past the budget came to south africa on bangladesh and looking for better life. he lost reverberates half way around the world. given me my family's from this part of my family's credit and hungry when i'm making money, i eating my family, eating now not making money. bodies loading my family hungry as many south african the riot lasted only a few days. at shops on mt off being looted. others are boarded up and delivery trucks refusing to risk, bringing in most supplies. so on top of everything,
9:17 pm
if more african are now going hungry policy or r t, alexandra use last legal action against mistakes. hungary and poland noble would describe as discrimination facing the l g b t. community. europe will never allow parts of both sides to be stigmatized. we start legal action against hunger and poland for violations upon the mental rights of l. g. b t. i. q. people with several polish ration severed opted laws settling self free of what they call l g b t. ideology separately was constitutional court has now set it with checks any decisions by the use court of justice on those issues. brussel is also similar troubles with another member state hungry and new law in the country bands depicting homosexuality and educational and tv shows for those under 18. the
9:18 pm
government is also ordered disclaimers to put on books featuring gay content, stating they contained behavior, inconsistent with traditional gender roles seems the local authorities perceive the laws very differently to the you know, the europe in 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 funding treaties. this question evidently, falls under the competence of the hungarian, which is a national competence law, has primacy over national law and all decisions by the european court of justice, including orders for interim measures are binding on member states authorities and national court. jupiter, the last 20 offers believe the e. u means to widen its focus. the question for me also as an observer is, why does you react on such as
9:19 pm
a question of single government in the only pacific metric field? it will look at other metric field where government in the european union have violated law. the you have not seen the trick. for example, when the singing area, 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 themselves more than that, your regulations allowed no reaction in black the we have over 200000 non discipline task force for russian descendants who do not well enough. the national language, whereas the you who called for by a to the roof of minorities, et cetera,
9:20 pm
you might be condemning some of it from mistakes over controversial issues. but at the same time is getting its full backing to others, such as lithuania, which has placed barbed wire and its board with bell roofs and path tough. anti margaret measures were ready to strengthen our level of support and deploy more european standing coal offices and equipment were speeding up and briefing up what was already planned. and in close cooperation with the less awaiting authorities were preparing furthermore, a rapid border intervention. lithuanian border is our common external border and front tech stands ready to help when needed. hundreds of margaret illegally crossed into lithuania from bell ruth, and recently joining me around. 1700 people have already been detained at the border. this year. illness is accused of deliberately shipping foreign margaret to the border. reclaim means the noise is waiting for it. he's also permitted the mass detention or those margaret's limiting their right to appeal. the use thoughts only
9:21 pm
issue marks a shift and policy back in 2015 hungary fortified. it senses on the borders with croatia and serbia within 2 years that had helped to cut the inflow of margaret's by almost a 100 percent brussels though condemned hungary brought against move, racist and then a phobic. there were also suggestions the country should be forced out of the block . we discussed the issue with serbian american journalists, nimble sumani. their carving out an exception for, for wayne here and it's border wall. because this is to deal with bellows. they're dealing with the exact theme immigrants, even their don carrion's bill to the border fence to stop the well, not just people from the middle east, but general things to put it up to stop people from serbia. they put it up to stop the syrians, rockies. afghans focused on ease of africans and so on who were using that particular route to get into the you. it's who does it as well as home it is done to move is aimed, i guess a designated enemies in this case bella luce, then ok,
9:22 pm
it's fine. whatever. but if it's aimed against the designated victims or to designate do gooders, in this case, you know, poor migrants from the 3rd world only coming to realize their basic human rights by getting onto european union welfare. then of course, that's horrible, terrible, racist, moral, etc. the whole point of my write up is that there is no moral consistency, except the moral absolutes of who, who it may be called the united states. but some of those states have become increasingly restive. new polling is found that a growing number of americans want to break away and form new nations. almost half of all democrats surveyed along the west coast for leaving while some 2 further republicans in the south want the same cause for the succession of texas. are certainly nothing new on either with a state representative tabling a bill to make it possible at the end of last year. the federal government is out
9:23 pm
of control and doesn't represent the values of texans. that is why i'm committing to fall legislation that allow a referendum to give texans a vote for the state of texas to reassert its status as an independent nation of appalling on us assertion of support. so there's been a marked uptick since january 6th. the day donald trump's board is rioted in the capital building reaction from a libertarian activist spot cone. that's not a republican or democrat problem, that is a, a washington dc problem saying, i want to see from the us more often than not, they're not actually necessarily saying i don't want to be a part of the us. that's more of a reflection of discontent with the status quo. they're saying, i am sick of seeing what i'm seeing around me. i'm sick of locked downs. i'm sick of the taxes. i'm sick of the cost of living spiraling out of control. i'm sick of not being able to afford housing or higher education or health care, and i want something different when things like that happen. an increasing number of americans say, i don't even want to be a part of this anymore. so i think it's much more macro things,
9:24 pm
much more major things that are affecting all of us that have happened like that. and this is something that's been boiling over for a long time. so dissatisfaction with the status quo, it's basically an abode of no competence. redacted tonight is up next, and we're back in half an hour with the latest headlines to join us again. ah . hello, welcome. redacted night. this is the show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. you've heard and counted as the solution to all of our problems for the past 10 years. in fact, there is a one in 3 chance your part of it right now. i'm talking of course of the economy
9:25 pm
jig economy gig gig gig because there's a type on there to dial more than one 3rd. 34 percent of the united states workforce is somehow involved with the gig economy. maybe you drive over or lift, maybe you work with door dash, or post may or 5, or, or wiggle bought. maybe you showed yourself or on sugar, daddy or, or soldier terminally ill dog on short term pets. you know, you could have done that. maybe you've moonlighted for nipple, typical or showed one of your lungs on bargain, oregon discount been dot out. i may have made up a solid half of those. not really sure. but the point is, the same of 3rd of all americans earn some or all on their living as a gig worker and corporate america. and the corporate media will tell you that freelance short term employment is wonderful. the wall street journal said the
9:26 pm
giga economy is coming to the rescue. and forbes magazine said it's helping women learn how to make the gig economy work for them. the point is, the so called a gig economy is too big to be ignored in good, 59000000 americans and according to gallop 29 percent of american workers have gig work as their primary job. and i have to admit a lot of it is convenient, right? why go get food when someone can bring it to you? why wait for a cab? when an over will arrive in the next 30 seconds and smell marginally better? and there's always new apps appearing and solving every problem you never knew you had. for example, the one that combines door dash and uber. so you can get a ride to your friends house and the driver gives you an order of indian food on
9:27 pm
the way. i mean, i love that one. of course, there are just as many failed app startups like the one that combine task rab and farmers only into something called farmer rabbit. where you could use the app to order a farmer who would come over and either fix your lawn mower or you, but you didn't get to choose which got it. got mixed mixed reviews. mixed. point me the gig economy is a major factor in our workforce. and there's a reason corporate america, i love it, they love it. in fact, there are 7 reasons a lot. well, there's probably more than 7 put. i was too lazy to keep going after i got to 7. so for now, there are 7 rays in the corporate role, those love, the giga may, many of these are coming from the great research of brian becker and economist richard wolf. number one, there are no unions union though the only reason workers achieved any kind of right,
9:28 pm
any kind of regulations in various fields without unions, you'd still be losing your job to a 6 year old because his little hands fit more neatly inside the screw, cutting late by the boot poly block on the assembly line, you know, something got jammed up there without a union. no one would have a weekend. and without the weekend there be no because 90 percent of it happened on the weekend. so next time you're having sex. thank a union later, i mean, not during wait until after actually don't, don't actually don't do it at all to just they think it in your head. just just thank him in your head because otherwise that will be an awkward conversation that i fell the other day. i thought of you. i was knuckle deep in my, you know, what? never mind, never, never mind for now. the 2nd reason, corporate rulers love the gig economy, know health care. back when health care didn't cost an arm and a leg pun intended,
9:29 pm
you deal with it. that's how me that's on you back and those companies realize they could get away with paying workers less by agreeing to cover their health care. but nowadays they have covering years to health care. so they find ways to get out of it. and what better way to do that, then to not technically have employees, but these so called free lancers are employees. if you drive for over or live, you are an employee of over or lift, but they don't call you that. and therefore they get out of giving you benefits, but it is a crazy idea. just sit bones football here that about that. thank you. call you whatever the hell. 2 i one, i don't care, they call you live rocky. you're still in boy. they can call you their favorite inside out for know bone, monkey stuart and chlorine, off report that i've heard back. and one matter. but apparently,
9:30 pm
a lot of our ruling lead act like it doesn't matter. here's an easy way to find out if you're an employee of a certain company. are they exploiting you in one way or another? then you're an employee. that was reason number 3, no hurdles to firing someone that even remotely annoies them. a lot of jobs that are unionize or have basic regulation or someone secure. a school usually can't just fire a teacher because they don't like the noises he makes when he breathes. but in the gang economy, they ab can just stop talking to you like a middle school break up. and despite supposedly not being a gig employer, amazon has totally gotten in on this action. amazon bought have been firing people, contract drivers, say algorithms terminate them by email even when they've done.
