the 400, the, the, i mean that's very satisfying the ah, a grave systemic failure. germany faces criticism for not doing more to prevent the flooding tragedy last week. despite previous warnings, the devastations claimed almost 200 lied, or damage amounting to billions of euro display in your pocket. some major league sparks worldwide, dray jones and alleges has really develop phone. spyware has been used by governments around the world to potentially snoop on journalists, politicians, and even brief u. s. army venture in the through shade on the

sunglasses company, hopefully after it got the wrong war on terror sign on its products. one x soldier tells us that are being increasingly exploited for commercial gain. veterans are constantly being taken advantage of and $250.00 class, or just one really dumb teddy example ah, life for moscow, this is our etc. my name's unit o'neil. the 30 minutes of news and views starting on the deck tool after the devastating floods in western europe has risen to at least $199.00. almost 300 more. people are still missing. search and risk you

opperation continue in the worst hit areas of germany and belgium. the floods have caused damage estimated at more than 2000000000 euro. local volunteers help being joining efforts to help clear the devastation on repair, what's possible. crippled infrastructure couple with huge piles of debris is making it difficult to move around and preventing life returning to any semblance of normality. sounds easy as you see it is terrible. everson is destroyed. many people don't have any commendation. the businesses are also closed. it is like a nightmare country that's promised. i cannot remember what was promised, but we should have learnt from this mistake in 2016. what happened could happen again, but nobody expected on such scale here was not only locals, angered by the authorities, response, politicians and climate experts claim the government knew of the impending catastrophe in advance,

but just failed to warn their citizens. officials so claimed that the worst hit areas were altered not it's impossible to predict every outcome. so what went so wrong? ortiz peter oliver has the report is before the flood struck west in germany, belgium look simberg and the netherlands, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european float awareness system detected problems were on their way for the region. people in our viola, one of the worst effected towns in germany, have been critical of the warnings, or lack thereof that were given or done come to the case. no one was expecting it. the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance would have helped to say some essential belonging or another problem is that many elderly people didn't even understand what was going on. they didn't hear anything about it. and then they're also the foreigners. everything should have been organized better. people should have gone door to door or received a warning by phone, audio history of what happened with the opinions of experts analyze what happened.

today's information. you can just refer to the fact that people were informed by text message. you have to imagine how much information is being dumped on people every day already. but then they say, yes, we sent out messages instead of targeting people on the spot and perhaps getting people out of their homes in particularly hot places. visiting the thing of utter devastation caused by the flooding and western germany champ langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenge is posed by climate change. latrecia, which is the germany, is a country that can overcome this financially. germany is a strong country and we will oppose this force of nature in the short term, but also in the medium and long term to a policy that takes nature and climate into account more than we have done in recent years. there had been warnings from the weather in 2016 the river far burst, its banks, causing damage to bridges and other infrastructure. they were repaired, but nothing was done to protect against future high waters. it's not

a secret that streets in bridges and all these dams are not in a good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting till something happens again, 5 years ago we had a duration similar to this one and a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired it. like yeah, it's okay for now. and nothing happened till then. and now the bridge is gone again . this part of germany is no stranger to flooding, which banks the questions. why were the authorities not better prepared for what nature would throw out them this time? and we'll lessons be learned from this tragedy. peace role of a c and cologne, germany. a tool to intimidate any one critical. that's how human rights groups are branded the is really hacking spyware. pegasus new revelations have shown this reportedly being used by governments across the world to potentially target politicians, journalists,

and even religious figures. the software was originally developed to help the fight against criminals and terrorists, but this constantine rosco reports had ended up snooping on so many more 50000 mobile phone owners in 45 countries targeted by spyware. that's been in the hands of governments for years. with the approval of the israeli defense ministry. that's all according to a group of investigative journalists from 17 media outlets who claim they obtained a lead document that reveals the sheer scale of the snooping. edward snowden has already, tweed that this could be the story of the year. the ears also a guest. if it is the case, it is completely unacceptable and against any kind of rules we have in the european union. what the freedom of media is concerned,

free press is one of the core values of the european union. it is completely unacceptable if this would be the case. according to the guardian targets include business executives, religious figures, government officials, and journalists among them, murdered washington post columnist jamal showed you the report. singles out a number of countries suspected of using the spine to maliciously, among them hungry, saudi arabia the a turkey in india. the all either denied or refused to comment. the tool in question is called pegasus. it was developed by israeli tech firm and as so group, the company keeps a low profile and doesn't really out its services. but it is sad to be behind the most advanced piece of spyware ever developed. they can access every message you've ever see. they can access every photo and video every email. it is effectively the most invasive form of surveillance imaginable. according to the investigative journalist, someone who knows your

a mobile number can use passes to read all of your attacks, e mails chats and location data. this used to require a victim to click a malicious lane, but the malware can now penetrate phones with so called 0 click attacks. and a so group has for body claims its product is being used maliciously by state actors enter. so group firmly denies false claims made in your report, many of which are uncorroborated theories that raise serious doubts about the reliability of your sources is what is the basis of your story israeli firm and says it's that's clients granting access only to foreign governments with good human rights records, it also claims its products is meant only for things like preventing terror attacks and locating missing children. if your mobile number is on the list, it doesn't mean you were actually spied on, but you were selected as a potential target. the journalists behind the revelation, say, they will publish even more names soon. what's clear from all this is that

a very powerful spy tool is being wielded by governments around the world. whether for good or for bad. while you will have to take their word for it, solve a company these pretty long use booking and selling it's a product with all the relevant allies from the media expands. so and it's leaking. but it raises the question whether it's sufficient, both kind of tools and private phone company and and it may rain joclett question. and when you have such a total of 30 po, one, that can truck you will sooner last soon. even though the need that you will press any link, it may raise the question whether we need to regulate

those activities. huge wildfires or raging in north east russia with a must effort underway to try and bring the situation under control. special fire fighting paratroopers have been deployed in the battle. in this footage, you can see them in action, exiting planes and pars, shooting down to hard to reach areas. each trooper has a 20 liter backpack to fight the flames and shoveled to dig fire breaker lines. the emergency service has volunteers and locals have all been doing their best to try and dos the flames in the thick smoke is humping efforts in the worst areas. according to the emergency ministry, 190 wildfires are burning up. present with specialists, helicopters, drafted in to help forest fires are also reaching in another region.

carmelia popular tourist destination in northwest russia. people living in the path of the flames, their helping evacuated to safety. a region wide draw does made forest tinder dry. i'm vulnerable to wildfires now they're branded as the global war on terror sunglasses, but the marketing ploy by shades manufacturer, oakley, was created an army of angry us veterans. the issue centers on a ribbon, on the rim of each per representing the metal us soldiers received. the problem is they got the colors wrong. to make matters worse, the metal itself is seen by some of nothing more than the equivalent of a participation trophy given on for simply joining the military. we spoke to a former us marine sergeant who feels spencer being exploited for commercial gain.

veterans are constantly being taken advantage of and $250.00, oakley, sun. glasses are just one really dumb petty example. sadly, to the extent that we have a militarist paradigm in the united states, there will also there will always be a market for these kinds of crap products. lee exploitation claims come and make growing alarm over the problem is the veterans face. the latest data shows an increase and the suicide rate for events, which is one and a half times higher than 2, amongst billions, with 18 to 35 year olds, particularly vulnerable. however, it is thought the situation could currently be even worse, as the figures don't get take into account the impact of the ongoing pandemic item cookies. she again believes that government ignores veterans needs. it's not a challenge to get people to recognize that you served it's challenge to get people

to care about the bigger problems in the fact that better and commit suicide rate of $22.00 per day more proportionally than the general population. and the v a is more interested in pushing pharmaceuticals that have suicide listed a side effect. then actually effective treatments for p t. s. d, and other things experienced by veterans homelessness, unemployment, all of the challenges that go along what the government does. by contrast, the u. s federal government spent $86000000.00 on housing for illegal immigrants, and 0 for homeless veterans. and this lab in the space for the sunglasses is just little bit of icing on the cake. he is already the world's richest mountain, but amazon funder jeff pays us. we'll be selling new heights today when he blasts

off the space in his own rocket. though it seems there's quite a few people who want him to stay there. once he arrives an online petition objecting to his re entry to earth has rocked up more than 150000 signatures. so far, ortiz caleb and after york, whether they would allow the billionaire to return home. we need them here, but i'm saying it's a lot of things happen in the world. you don't need to be flying to the space that seems a little bit extra human. but maybe it will probably never really happen. those 3 people alone can take care of the whole world's problems right now with the pandemic. but they're going to space at the end of the day. we supposed be focusing on our population. not up there down here jeff days. those is not the only billionaire to have gotten space fever. he actually lost the space race to another . alter richman, richard branson. and ilan mosque is set to be 3rd on the podium. they all claim that it's for the common good,

where he had to make space more accessible to all welcome to the dawn of a new space age. recent studies showed that a minimum wage worker cannot afford a one bedroom apartment. in 93 percent of the counties in the united states, this is not a situation where people can afford to just get off to the stars for a holiday weekend. now there are many billionaires like days, those who actually avoided paying taxes. many look at this and blame a corrupt loophole, written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due all backwards and corrupt tax system has allowed the same person who pays next to know federal income tax to blow $7500000000.00 on his own private aerospace company, while hard work in american families pay an average of 14 percent income tax each year. basis on the other, billionaires in his obscene race to space should be required to pay their fair share. while working families are struggling to pay their bills and the infrastructure of the united states is crumbling,

the billionaires are having their own little space race and seeing who can reach the stars faster. do you think you'll ever be able to afford to go to space? i can't afford to live in new york. the average person can barely afford to starbucks travels, never going to be affordable for everybody. by the fact we might be because you know what, as this economy is coming down to order technology and everything is being upgraded to the fact that how we bought the move, i mean over to our next planet possibly. so you never know, is it reasonable to allow billionaires to do 2 things decide how to spend their money. for example, competing on getting on rockets into space. and number 2, how do you justify the enormous wealth devoted to this kind of rich persons, amusements, those moral demands are more powerful than allowing the super rich to become even richer. as for example,

they have over the last 18 months even while the rest of the world was struggling with the cold. busy did pen demik with many feeling that glory projects such as races into space and make a mockery of the hard work carried out by the majority? it shouldn't be a surprise that many are wondering if we shouldn't just dump the ultra rich into outer space as the latest piece of space, junk mop and r t new york. you're watching rti international after the break. south africa looks that pick up the many pieces following a week of rioting and chaos, sparked by the ceiling of a former president. ah, we ventured a new era. an era of, here's about deflation, is giving way to a new era about the confusion of inflation.

ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the in a world transformed what you feel safe for the tycer? elation community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? what is in a world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah,

ah ah, 900 minutes into the program. welcome back. the corruption from hell of silicon for his former president, jacob's human as resumed his jailing last week, spark the worst mile and seen in the country for decades. the prime minister of zulu nation. so it's, i forget the largest ethnic group told us the recent on rest and newton comes as no surprise. we see a country that has so much going for it. been destroyed completely. because my view is that what is happening now actually should no surprise us because this country was really only nice because you just vision john state because because of the mismanagement of the economy by the government,

every striking. so there you go. every strike there is to envision so you got now or is newton. this is what is happening now. when a smaller scale had been used 10 days ago. approaches with mcafee greg report is, but they don't end up, you know, get for testing. they get route. and they're doing good or a nice kid, but it came from the policies of the agency who said the country must be made and governor and say being the leading party, their former president and leader of that party. jacobs was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court after refusing to appear before judicial inquiry investigating corruption during his 9 year room. the protest had followed resulted in more than 200 debts and 2000 arrests. many communities are still reeling from the violence facing food shortages with local sharps and warehouses,

either ransacked or burned down our teeth. paul, asleep reports now on the extremes. local residents have been forced to go to to survive the crisis. we tracking along the indian ocean co sign wait, lots of small towns have been isolated and have received no relief. for days the roads are being closed and all trucks with the usual supplies have not been able to reach them. the shops themselves have either been lucid or close got, but because the odors offer that they could be ransacked in the coming days. the i now can, you can see a close to the house that has been completely defeated and been down. all the concrete steel flats have been melted down in the fire. that was like,

today's the 1st day that one or 2 shop in the town had opened. most people are still staying at home. and as you can see, the shop, the old boarded clothes, people are afraid amongst rumors that the violence is going to erupt anytime again . at the moment, i'm so sorry, because with safety, it's still not safe. i'll be asking what's going on that the school danger. so we just trying to do a little bit about the community. here is one of the 1st shops to open, but it's owners. i hid is still assessing the damage. he says he was lucky to escape with his life intact. people lose everything in the shop with a single piece of bread. love everything for me, the noise. can you tell me better? but i did not get his dog and my shop is all new. you

can see the preview at a deal holding that just by yesterday. and we know the kind of, if he which has also been completely lifted, we're accompanying a shop. oh no. who hasn't been able to reach the town since divine and started this is a 1st walk in the shelf. now i'm totally shocked to absolutely devastated something that we never terms of as quite said and what can i see if everything's been taken out? we've talked a look in about 3000000 and what stuck has been looters. i do. they expect it to be bad, but this is like 10 of us. absolutely. so as you can see, there is security in front of this supermarket. the only reason that the supermarket survived is that what god sleeping inside at the time they

suffer on the crowd. and for that reason, people ran away from both this town and surrounding areas have come here because it's only place that they can get food. i can yeah, so by the process because my children are very hungry, there is no food in the house because. 1 we only, i hope is only the shop now if they're gonna break the shop. 1 shop here, i don't know what to do now. the violence of the past few days had left an estimated 2000000 south africans unemployed. as it is a country already faces. a huge problem of these people are doing for days they haven't eaten. and many of them are afraid that the violence it's far from over. so there's a lot of panic. fine happening right now on the tip of the african continent policy on an account south coast with all eyes currently on the fast approaching

olympic games in tokyo. the par lympics a few weeks after that sometimes get overlooked. but for months, russian competitors have been getting ready for action and are getting 4 goals we took to the streets of moscow as partly, to mitree enough to gauge awareness of the global sporting spectacle. do you know when the paralympics are not dead this summer? do you know when the olympic compound and pick gains are happening? so i don't what our p. c stands for. now? waday. no. can you name any some sport for swimming? running water out. madman, tom. we have to educate the russian people

we have good dog, the last world championship we had for sportsmen who will world sport ranking much and now the country can only enter the linux through worlds. fort ranking world to let the qualifying form in the atlanta and my career after london in 2012. but the thing didn't work out there. i performed badly coming in 7th and 8th. so i decided no, i need closure and started preparing for you. but the bound from real me, i do everything by myself. of course i clean i cook, i definitely everything. the only thing is it takes me a little bit more time than say, the normal man. and for instance, if i clean with my sister, it's fast, but if i clean alone, it takes me the whole day. i can type with my arm or with my foot, or even in rare cases when it's too painful. any other way i type with my note or

shift. unfortunately, you can't always use disabled parking, for example, with talking shopping. now, you have to say come up with a parent and a young voice that gets out and is evidence that they are disabled. why mon perspective and if it's possible, i don't use table parking because i can walk. i leave this place free for someone news worse than me. the. the major competitive for me is curtis mcgraw, the last time i lost him in the final by just 2 seconds. he has the same disability is made, although he has his own knee. he also uses prophetic. i actually if we talk about moral preparation, for example,

for international tournaments, then yes, we've not had enough ask for television, you know, in order for people to be able to watch it, you have to show paralympic athletes shown in their competition. and that's the view is where it can be interesting too, because in my opinion, incredible passions are boiling over there. the me, it all gets going near the end of august. no max and stacy are standing by to navigate us through another episode of the kaiser report next and, and i'm back at the top with all mysteries affecting your world today. mm. the.

ready ready quin july class to push me off in the service it will go blue book truly i don't you for one for the the because it's always more you need to have this done repeatedly through which practice and gone. yeah. because when you go from the moment that you need to bring it up on the not, i'm not in the middle chopsticks on the look on the

i am mass kaiser. this is the kaiser report. you know, we ventured a new era, an era of confusion about deflation is giving way to a new era about the confusion of inflation. alrighty, let's get into a stacy. yes, it's becoming a highly politicized sort of events. whether or not we want inflation and how much inflation and this inflation is good. but one thing you and i have said is that, you know, the seventy's are back. we started to warn about that stagflation sort of thing in place, and prices and all goods. and services and decline in employment number. so
