put the wrong war on terror sign on its products. one like sold to tell those who served in the military thing increasingly exploited to conventional gain. veterans are constantly being taken advantage of and 250 color classes are just one really petty example. ah hi there. good afternoon. thanks for joining me here on anti international. who start this out with news coming out of the west african country of molly, of an inside an assassination attempt on this interim president report suggests that he was attacked by 2 men during a press service in the capital's main mosque. let's get more on this story. now from us, he responded. charlotte, do the sky? good afternoon, shall that bring us up to date with the latest developments please?
7:02 am
that's right. this assassination attempt on molly's into room president a c me, greta said to take place in the great mosque in the capital city of mancha. as you said, it's thought apparently, to individuals troy to attack came one man wielding a knife that attack came during a sermon for the festival, the festival to buffy. now, according to the manager of the mosque, the moment just given a sermon, when he talks about the sacrifice of the sheep, this is a story from the bible. and after that, at least one man will, yielding a knife, got up and tried to stab the colonel, the interim precedent in the back. now we understand that it appears that he was not injured in this attempted assassination. and that he was removed immediately from the great loss can, has been taken to a secure location at an army base, but there are reports that another individual was injured in not the fascination
7:03 am
attempt. this is breaking news. we all just staying a courses at the moment. just want to give you a bit of background to what's happening in the molly at the moment a see me going into room president. she's been in place now for about 2 months, but he has a very checkered background. as i mentioned, he was a could no army. and he was the man that was behind molly's military crew. back in august last year, which saw molly moving to an into room presidency as they tried to move back to civilian government. but he wasn't happy with how fast this was moving. and apparently there was a power struggle in molly, which led to a 2nd qu just a few months ago. and as a result of thought to see me go, it was put him places into a precedent. now those 2 crews within a year, molly have sparked huge diplomatic tensions not just with members of the africa in
7:04 am
union, but also here with the french government. molly has been suspended from the african union until it returns back to civilian rule. and france also suspended, joined military operations with the country as a result that those operations have reached started. but we know that the diplomatic ties remain tense, as molly still continues to go be governed without this civilian government. now, the french diplomatic issue is a big one. and that's because, although those military operations with molly and military have been restarted in the last few weeks, we know that france is looking to pull its troops out. if not just molly. but in the saw hill area, french troops have been there for many years. they've been fighting against an islamist insurgency that started in the north of the country and around 2012 and
7:05 am
has really expanded and be massively problematic with thousands and thousands of people being killed since then. and hundreds of thousands of people being forced to flee their homes. as a result of this insurgency, that doesn't seem to be quelled, no matter how many military troops are on the grounds. we know france is looking to pull its troops out at the same time, the united nations, which has around $14000.00 troops stationed in the country. it's looking to expand its peacekeeping mission. but molly has been in the grips. if this is law making sergent see for many years now, and it does seem as if the violence is spiraling higher for the moment, colonel, the interim president, see me go to, we understand the safe in the army base following this attempted assassination today. but you know, as you can see the situation a molly is very grave at the moment too many people will be watching what happens
7:06 am
now in the next few hours in the next few days in that country. yeah, appreciate it brings the details of any of the background to other time to the fascination in molly solid, dubious correspondent there in paris thinking the death toll after the devastating floods in western europe has risen to at least 10909. almost 300 more people are still missing. search and rescue operations continue in the worsted areas of germany and belgium. while the opposition in germany is calling for the interior minister to quit saying he bears personal responsibility for what happened . of cause damage estimated more than 2000000000 euros. local volunteers have been joining us. it's clear the devastation and repair was possible crippled infrastructure coupled with huge piles of debris, making it difficult to move around and preventing life pretending to any semblance of normality. as you see, it is terrible. everson is destroyed. many people don't have any recommendation.
7:07 am
the businesses are also closed. it is like a nightmare over the country promised. i cannot remember what was promised, but we should have learned from this mistake in 2016. what happened could happen again, but nobody expected on such scale here. on this, not only local, angry at the authorities, response, politicians and climate experts claimed that the government knew the impending catastrophe in advance, but just failed to warn the citizens. official so claimed that the worsted areas were alters and it's impossible to predict every outcome and begs the question then when so wrong. p to all of a has a story is before the floods struck west in germany, belgium looks in bergen, the netherlands, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european float awareness system detected problems . went on their way for the region. people in our viola, one of the worst effected towns in germany, have been critical of the warnings,
7:08 am
or lack thereof that were given or done can do that. no one was expecting that the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance, would have helped to say some essential belongings. 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. what happened with the opinions of experts analyze what happened to this 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 and particularly hard hit places. visiting the scene of utter devastation caused by the flooding and west in germany, chance langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenges posed by
7:09 am
climate change. quickly chavez, 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 accounts 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 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
7:10 am
nature would throw out them this time and will lessen be learned from this tragedy . feature all of all teeth in cologne, germany, a tool to intimidate anyone critical once a human rights groups have branded these really hacking spyware. pegasus, you revelations have shown is reportedly been used by governments across the world to potentially target politicians, journalists, even religious figures. the software was originally developed to help the fight against criminals and terrorists, but this constantine rush golf revolts now, since the snipping, 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

the metal itself is seen by some is nothing more than the equivalent of a participation trophy given out. simply joining the military. we spoke to a former us marine sergeant who feels that that's being exploited for commercial. gay veterans are constantly being taken advantage of and $250.00 oakley. glasses are just one really dumb. paddy example, sadly to the extent that we have a militarist paradigm in the united states, there was also, there will always be a market for these times of, you know, crap products. the exploitation claims come to the growing alarm over the problems . the veterans face lacy status shows an increase in the suicide rate of vets, which is one and a half times higher than that among civilians. with 18 to 35 year olds, particularly vulnerable. and it's so those figures may even be larger as the study doesn't yet take into account the impact of the ongoing pandemic. as a cash again,
