the me the ah, the people you can see working around me, your old volunteers, you've come to be, it's a villa to try and do whatever they can. those who seem their lives swept away by the devastating floods in germany turned on politician saying it's an action they need not just words of support. i've been trying to sort out drinking water for 2 days, but it's impossible. business own as an ordinary people alike. feel let down by the politicians divided communities in south africa and now it's done side by side patrolling the streets, helping overwhelmed police like back against the looters. we had

a lot of divisions prior to this, but it's not that people that are losing its looters, basically. so you got the black, white in the color, all sending together to prevent the same thing from happening. facebook killing people with misinformation. that's the claim of president biden, who's blaming the social media giant for his failure to reach covert vaccine targets also ahead the all eyes to the skies. our correspondent joins the best in the business sounds. they prepared to flex their wings of the annual max or show taking place near moscow. ah, fly from moscow. this is our team, my names unit, emilio, 30 minutes of news and news start. the hard work begins

massive cleanup operations are underway in germany going the catastrophic floods. they're a huge army of volunteers, how join firefighters police out the military and tackling the devastation. german chancellor, anglo merkel visited some of the worst effected areas in western germany, describing the scenes as surreal and terrifying, stating the climate change must be addressed more. 180 people have lost their lives . many more remained missing with intense search operations. continuing, the deluge is said to be the worst of its kind in 200 years or europe correspond. peter, all of her reports from germany. the people you can see working around me are all volunteers. you've come here to try and do whatever they can. one of the big problems they say that facing though, is that there's no real coordination with the emergency services, like the fire brigade, or the police, or even the military who are here in this area as well. although there's no

shortage of people willing to help. many of those don't know if by turning appear, they're actually causing problems by parking cause in the way of stopping emergency vehicles guessing where they need to be. i think it's a heart to, in this federal system to, to coordinate some things like this. i asked the firework is where my help is needed because i drove with my brother and a friend here just to help. and they just didn't know exactly where to put the help they will like, i don't know either. and a lot of people are just like, ok, we want to have, we want to do something but tend to make it worse if they're just standing in the way or the blocking the roads for the, for the, for the workers who really need like fireworks and nursery and stuff the devastation from the flooding which parted west in europe is huge in terms of human lives, lost and horns destroyed. clean of work is on the way in most areas, while searches continue for those people still missing. in germany,

senior politicians have been pledging their support for those and the federal government will not pull it said, i hear the rumor that the military won't be there. the army will be there to help for as long as needed. i promise. and as this is good that the federal and state governments have announced their support for those who has suffered great losses affected communities will also be helped to repair the damage in the hour of need. our country stands together and the whole of germany will help this region needs of the community. know the country will be able to fix this alone, but we'll do everything or build whatever can be rebuilt about we can not every, like a leader has struck the right torn. while german president franklin died, maya was offering messages of support and lush. it the man who will potentially be the next german chancellor of the september's election within laughing and joking in the background. those having to clean up the devastation, say words of support,

a one thing actual help is another and they are seeing enough, you know, we have a situation that really calls for action. even this help on the spot is probably more effective than any effort by the authorities who are wondering what's going on . i have to stress that people relying on the government feel somewhat abundant. but we have a lot of community support, including young people's clubs, volunteer firefighters, and groups of people have teamed with their friends. we would definitely not be able to manage without these people here. i've been trying to sort out drinking water for 2 days, but it's impossible. it was supposed to arrive between 8 o'clock and 9 in the evening. but we only gothic today. we have enough food, thanks to private donations, totes are available. we have never been so aware of how comfortably we live before business owners and ordinary people alike. few let down by the politicians. now with it, the flood waters have receded in most places in the west. tens of thousands of homes are without electricity and running water. maintaining supplies to those

areas is alongside making sure that buildings and infrastructure like bridges are secure among the top priorities for those on the ground. they are demanding that politicians back up, their words of support. we action peter, all of a r, t west in germany. the white house has been facing flag over the failure to reach its coven vaccine targets. former president, donald trump has claimed the pace of inoculation has fallen because people don't trust the current administration and the media because of the election result. joe biden, though, is pointing the finger at facebook thing disinformation on the platform is quote, killing people, broadcast the of ticks up. the story when barton promised to vaccinate 70 percent of americans by the 4th of july few could have predicted that it would be facebook that would stop him, doesn't make much sense, but that is allegedly exactly what happened according to the white house. so barton

breaking his promise is facebook's fault. according to the white house, what's your message? the platforms like said, the people. really, the only pandemic we have is that we've increased this information, research and tracking within the surgeon general's office. we're flagging problematic posts for facebook. the federal government is now marking posts that it deems problematic for facebook to take down its 5. this is every one's good. they say one time thing to save lives. they say this is ministry of truth level of no fees and they're literally admitted to collude and with media to control the narrative, this a censorship. this is the union of corporate and state power. one of the classic hallmarks of fascism that they people who spend 5 years babbling about fascism

support, probably didn't expect facebook to put up a fight. see facebook has been playing biden scape good game for, for much longer than biden has been president. and they're very good. the data shows that 85 percent of facebook uses in the us have been all want to be vaccinated against cobra. 19 these and other facts tell a very different story to the one promoted by the administration in recent days. as i said, these guys are my s cruise deflecting reflecting in dissipating blame. generally the only facts that make it into facebook press statements of those that make them look good years and years of scandals and disgrace have taught them well. facebook would love full transparency if there was a guarantee of positive stories and outcomes. but when transparency creat uncomfortable moments, the reaction is often to shut down the transparency as an example that team of facebook employees recently found the conservative media on the platform has

outperformed everyone out in likes and shares even off the facebook and trump. so what are the executives do? they disbanded the entire team, just for sharing facts, our own tools, helping journos to consolidate the wrong narrative. it told a story they didn't like, and frankly didn't want to admit was true. facebook man, the biden administration. they deserve each other, that 2 winds of the same stick moved blameless, and righteous, both eager to fence at the race ideology and debate that they don't like. the only difference is one is help and money and the other help and power. and we the ordinary people, we're just going to have to learn to live with a world where we need corporate or government approval for our opinion. point facebook is already extremely sensory us and they're prohibiting any type of

information that counters the narrative that they are. so intent on maintaining. now the government itself is stepping in and censoring content. they're telling facebook what the sensor. so this is strictly prohibited by the 1st amendment. i think it's basically an attempt on the part of the administration to enforce a particular narrative and to exclude all others. and also it's a way of shutting down political opposition to the administration. and you might think of facebook as an extension of the state. i don't see any possibility of them actually being regulated in any way. the only thing that will bring them down will be real competition. and the venture will like from facebook

by flocks of people who had enough britain. so named ping demick, where you're full warn you to self isolate for coming into contact with a cobit case of same to high profile victims, the prime minister, or is johnson and his chancellor. thus, after the health minister tested positive for the virus over dawning st. intended to bypass the rules by taking part in a pilot daily testing program, sparking both outrage and a hasty you turn. what happens when the rules apply to the prime minister? he tries to wriggle out to them and pretend these on some pilot scheme that exempts him. i'm afraid that yes again. we see it's one rule for them and another for everybody else. one rule for them with another made up because pilots came won't go down. well, full out will be bigger than bonded council. i test. ah, that's pilot scheme and full deer and

a chest track and tracy boris. and re she have a special pass and not have to isolate your sincerely morrison reaches mom. ah, well, it took less than 3 hours for the about turned to be announced. now came amid mounting controversy about the plum lifting of almost old colbert restrictions in england from today despite the rising infection rates. last week, more than half a 1000000 people were forced to self isolate by the contact tracing up the reform parties, deputy leader told us the government has simply failed and attempts to have a consistent coordinated policy. clearly what happened was that the government tried to get away with it by trying to use this idea that they were actually involved in a pilot scheme where they could be tested every single day. and it just seems incredibly hypocritical. but that seems to be one rule for them. one rule for the rest of us. and so what for me, this smacks of is the fact that we have

a totally rutledge government. the government doesn't know what it's doing. and clearly actually, i think they start coming for a couple of hours and then realize there was no way they could get away with it. and, and there's a really important point here which is that a government only governs with consent of the people who am i think this government is fost running out of goodwill from the people. and actually the british public have been extraordinary. they have actually tapped to the rules. the vaccination levels in this country are extremely high. and i think people have have this incredible responsibility to do the right thing. but it seems that the government feels that it is untouchable. and i sense that actually people are pretty angry. the way things are going, we've got businesses that are failing. we've got people who are struggling for that livelihood. and the government seems increasingly out of touch. it cannot go on that needs to be a change. the south african president, serial rema post has call for unity after the chaos that engulfed his country over

the past week, violent riots and looting spark by the jailing of his predecessor has left more than 200 people, that dozens of pharmacies been left. devastated with everything taken, including all prescription medicine that spark serious concern about the consequences of using random drugs. communities have also faced food shortages with local shops and warehouses, either ransacked or burnt out. volunteers have been trying to clean up the mess while others have form groups to protect their homes and businesses. seeing the police can't cope or correspond policy or has been talking to some of i'm carrying elberton, city and south africa the way the minority white of the cons community is going out on a voluntary patrol tonight. they will not face in the countries police. and so, like other minority communities have taken upon themselves to defend the own street

and the own houses. i think that both of them are with them on the water all over the country. they've been deployed to many different areas. that's why we are assisting that was going to go to an article probably city we had to report for the communities, actually locating that and protecting the shopping, to grow bombings that i've excuse me. what do you see here? people are guarding that shopping center for looters. they'll probably be in the whole not got somebody to be vehicles in the fund. and that's what they're going to be in for the not digitize. these people from the,

the community itself is guarding the self contained ah, these rocks have been placed in the road to stop any kind of potential looters driving down this road towards the shopping center that's nearby here. and potentially trying to loosen the in with technology like this, what we can do is we can see them in the dark and we can immediately dispatch some of our gosh to go to save them. and it's actually happened the other night as well . and what this also does is this little thing over here. so we can turn this on and it makes a very wide area like that. and especially the other night when they saw that

they weigh that off. they were hiding away from us. but the moment to be done, they obviously got this gate and they went back to where they came from. we don't have to put our guys into it to hobbes way until it's absolutely necessary for them to react. we can another shopping center where the guys have mixed up with other volunteers who've also been here for the last few nights, making sure that their communities are safe. we only for the same purpose, so they more experienced, they've got the weapon with the knowledge. so we follow the lead, all the all countries understand so, so it's pretty sad at the moment. but you all after saying you ought to go, she's a lost friend on one of the townships on the end of all the time. and we preventing those to come in to us others because it's going to people as much of the looting going on, there's a lot of positivity that has come out of the united, the country and, and in a different aspect where we had a lot of division prior to this, but it's not that people that are looking at looters, basically. so you got the black white in the color was any together to prevent the

same thing from happening in all our communities. it's quite culture and now it's late at the past midnight. we're going to head off. the guys themselves will stay here until the early hours of the morning. the situation remains tense and no one really knows what they come bring policy a r t arbiten still ahead an hour to the british opera hoping to america killing out of the death of a former russian by hitting the right notes about the details for the pick the the

ah me, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk to me. the news.

ah, it's got drama on former russian spy poisoning plenty of songs. the story of the death of alexander lithonian co has been turned into an opera in london with cell i chose, the organizers are claiming they've got a hit on their homes. so sky taylor though, has been checking just how ensuring the performance actually is with reality. full disclosure, i am a big profound when i had that a new one had passed onto the scene to check it out. like all of the classics, i'm talking i da. com and tough guy. this one, take a short week and give nothing away. the me and like, well the classics. it starts with

a song about chemical element. ah, yes. ex finance. yeah. bolton decided to have a job at music and said, dave, you chose the story of alexander and young co, former at the b agent, tons and my 6 informant who was poisoned with a radioactive substance in london back in 2006. he lived 25 years, also deteriorating, with his body being eaten from the inside out. so i was very moved by that. it was then this inspiration came that he had the ingredients for an opera. these ingredients include historical inaccuracy, may contain giving no evidence stereotype. the evil putin regime, obviously, i'm fun, galling over a man who probably did some pretty bad things in his time. but that was mean about putin so automatically became a free to fight and obviously a hero. in short,

all the ingredients found in the traditional anti russia dish, the so many fight pasty in the west and made all the more appetizing since bolton sells it. as fact, i hope i've written something that might have longevity and keep the story alive in the long run. that's one of the things opera can do. one adamant that didn't make the call up. the truth. take the opera is audibly most morbid moment. the reenactment complete with gun toting stake, terrorist walking amidst the audience of the duke roth got thea, to siege and moscow. so back in 2002 armed catch you medicines took 900 pair, took, was hostage, security forces. they took the building and they killed the terrorist, bought by done 130 hostages, had already died. but if the, you know, lastly known truth in russia and abroad, but bolton's a money guy. and he knows what cells inexpensive or 2002,

and that's hostage taken moscow's debris. fca theater is stated by the f b to spread anti church, and failing a cynical, a politicization of the deadliest attack. the capitals ever seen. also living in cuz magic is presented case closed as opposed to hit job. obviously, even though a british inquiry itself only use the what probably an inversion of tourism a highly likely, you know, points the thing without coughing out the proof. imagine then how devastating it must have been for bolton when the reviews for his opera came in. and well, they want exactly 5 star, all of which might suggest that this isn't all for a full of so many shocks, terrors and malign. miss thieves that you leave the theater shaking with fear and righteous indignation. so it might have been if, for instance, just the code which had been available to compose it. sadly, bolton is nauseous to code which poor thing and also you gave it all the way, did that shape bank. russians of that bunch of stumbling drunk. i didn't mention

them, but they all, they're in the bruton, the kid up silenced opposition, and rewriting of history, highly likely, and even a balla leica, it should have been didn't the easiest spell of his career. but you know, police are thrown in a mentoring bad. well, so, but masha, it's the annual showcase of every thing, or else the mux or show is about to take off just outside moscow. it will see the sky, it's filled with planes being put through their paces, including those from the russian 1st flight or club ortiz, julia shop of oliver. it's the left the

hours before the launch of the month 2021 international s face and preparations are in full swing in the most original members of the fast flight alabassic team. practicing best sounds right before the show and we are lucky enough to be part of the household. so this is my 1st flight would be 5 life arrow by 6 team. the line has existed for 12 years and during this time, dad, because multiple well champions in both group and so by 6, the guys train in this port, yes. if you see the 64 planes with paste and engines, the team also have a unique support. see says he won in the arsenal immediately after the marks asian sho zacharon who will travel to poland to participate in the world championship? ah!

better not to look down. pilots instructor irina markovich. honestly our blame to have been involved in asians for for over 35 years. why do you think so many people suffer from ara say be, why are many people so afraid to fly? hard to say it's actually not typical for me. so i just feel sorry for those people who do not understand what kind of happiness they are depriving themselves of. can you advise them in order to become the cfo? you learn such planes and feel the comfort of the flight and make sure that it is absolutely safe. plus it's very beautiful and emotional democratization in space alone, defense slide group will present its most varied program with the participation of 6 aircraft. the well coordinated flight of the team during the performance is the

most important go pilot must speak the same language. therefore these days trading is very intensive. one of the most famous arabic career teams is nestor is believe it's a real insurance test for the pilot body. when approaching the lowest point of the maneuver, the overload is 5 g. that is, the pilot is press down by a full that it's 5 times the weight of the body will cut off. so the key to a good flight is sleep, food, and red. it's necessary to sleep, at least a 1000000 hours. you need to be hungry. you cannot be absolutely hungry or full. it is comfortable when you are just half hungry. surprisingly, if the pilot comes hungry to fly, then he will most definitely get sick, or even a highly trained one. they say the key to successful performance is facing yourself, your teammates and the accuracy of the calculation. therefore, before each flight, all the formations are practiced on the ground level or flight program always turns

round training. this is particularly important for group flights because the planes are very close in the air next to each other. and everyone must clearly see their place in the formation, not allowing any dangerous maneuvers. according to the pilots, the most aerospace alone and the perfect platform to meet every 2 years communicate and show you as well as to show what they have learned and upload batch humans of others. you lasha bob oliver c. yeah, it's going to be a fun time in the mosque region these next few days. well for a deeper dive into any of this, our stories are t dot com by the way, it's a good starting point, fresh content life. the discussion is always just a click away. i'm you know, no needle catch you against me. ah, the
