a bit of background to what's happening in the molly at the moment. a see me go 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 me 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 2nd qu just a few months ago. and as a result of that, to see me go, it was put in place as into a precedent. now those 2 crews within a year and molly have sparked huge diplomatic tensions not just with members of the african union, but also he, with the french government. molly has been suspended from the african union until

it returns back civilian rule. and france also suspended, joined military operations with the country as a result of that, those operations have reached started. but we know that the diplomatic ties remain tense, as molly still continues to go and pick up. and without this civilian government. in 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 of 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 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. 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 there. 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, a see me go to, we understand the safe and not only base following this, attempted assassination today. but, you know, as you can see, the situation a molly is very grave at the moment, and many people will be watching what happens down the next few hours in the next few days in that country. the death toll after the devastating floods in western europe has risen to to at least $199.00. with almost 300 more

people still missing. to rescue operations continue in the worsted areas of germany and belgium. the while the opposition in germany is calling for the interior minister to quit, saying that he bears personal responsibility for what happened. floods, of course damage estimated more than 2000000000 euros. local volunteers have been joining efforts to clear away the devastation and repair what's possible crippled infrastructure, coupled with huge piles of debris, making it difficult to move around and preventing life from returning 20 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. countries are gone 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 a scale here. not only locals who are angry at the authorities, response,

politicians and climate experts claimed the government knew of the impending catastrophe in advance. they just failed to warn the citizens. officials though claimed that the worsted areas were altered and it's impossible to protect every outcome and not begs the question. when so wrong is oliver has the story is before the floods struck west in germany, belgium looks in bergen benevolence, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european float awareness system detected problems with 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 key. 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 belongings. and other problem is that many elderly people didn't even understand what was going on if 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 analyzing what happened today? 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 send out messages instead of targeting people on the spot and perhaps getting people out of their homes in particular places. visiting the scene of utter devastation caused by the flooding and west in germany, john langler merkel pledged more efforts to tackle the challenge is posed by 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 bursted 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 and 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 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, that's our human rights groups have branded these rarely hacking spyware. pegasus

new revelations of shown as reported, have been used by governments across the world to potentially target politicians. journalists, even religious figures, software was originally developed to felt the fires against criminals and terrorists. but his antics constantino's cough reports is 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 shoji 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. busy pegasus, it was developed by israeli tech firm and a 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. you can access every message you've ever received. you can access every photo video, every email. it is effectively the most invasive form of the islands imaginable.

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 gets the product with all the relevant allies from expands or and it's leaking budget raise the question leisure is sufficient. all kinds of tools and private phone company and and it may rain joplin and question. and when you have such a total of 31 that can talk you soon or last soon.

to the extent that we have a militarist paradigm in the united states, there was also, there will always be a market for these kinds of, you know, crap products. the exploitation claims come amid growing alarm over the problems that veterans face. the latest data shows an increase in the suicide rates of veterans, which is one and a half times higher than that among civilians with 18 to 35 year olds, particularly vulnerable, is thought though that those figures might even be larger in reality is the study doesn't yet take into account the impact the ongoing pandemic is southern cooking show. again, he believes that the government ignores the needs of veterans. 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 from oakley sunglasses is just little bit of ice. you know the cake on the way for you. the highs and lows have been the world's richest man. it comes on, found a just phases profess, blocks of the space on his own wrong case. an online petition to ny him re entry to earth again called the 160000 signatures are left after a short break. ah

the the the the the the ah, ah, the ah, so 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 political time. time to sit down and talk the welcome back. he's already the world's richest man, but amazon found a just phase offs will be scaling new heights in a few hours time. and he blasts off into space and he's a rocket though it seems that there's quite a few people who want him to stay once he gets there. because an online petition object into his re entry to earth will of others, ranked up more than 160000 signatures. to date these, kelly morphine us new yorkers, whether they would allow the billionaire to return home. we need him 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 way here 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 to actually avoid paying taxes. many look at this and blame corrupt loophole, written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due or backwards and

corrupt tax system has allowed the same person who pays next to no 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 rates 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 starbucks. these 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 plan and possibly have a know with many feeling that glory projects such as races into space to 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. martin r t new york was successful to day basis will become the 2nd billionaire to privately make it a space in under a week shipments. so on tim pressing oaks, fam, which is calculated for every minute of business mogul goes to space 11 people die of starvation around the world. professor emeritus of economics at the university of massachusetts, i'm hearst, richard wolf thinks that the trips our unnecessary extravagance. 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, 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 the corruption trial, or south africa, his former president, jacob, soon has resumed his jailing last week spot, the worst was seen in the country for decades. the head of the zulu nation, south africans largest ethnic group, told us the recent and rest and looting were no shock. we see a country that had so much going for it had been destroyed completely because my view is that what is happening now actually should no surprise us because this country was a radio owner. nice because you division john state because because of

the mismanagement of the economy by the government, every striking. so there you go. every strike that is to envision south africa now or is newton. this is what is happening now. when the smallest good habit you stand is like your approaches with mccarthy graduate workers, but they don't end up, you know, just for testing. they then huge and doing that on a nice kid. but it came from the policies of the agency who said the country you must make and governor of a former president, jacob zoom. it was send us to 15 months in prison for contempt of court after refusing to appear before judicial inquiry was investigating corruption. during his 9 year rule, the protest that followed resulted in more than $200.00 death and 2000 arrests. many communities are still railing from the violence facing food shortages with local shops and warehouses, either ransacked or burned down,

or the fall asleep reports. now on the extremes, local residents have had to endure to survive the crisis. we tracking along the indian ocean coastline weight loss have been isolated and have received no relief for days. the votes have been closed and all trucks with the usual supplies have not been able to reach them. the shops themselves have either been lucid or closed. scott, 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 burned down. all the concrete steel slabs has been melted down in the fire. that was proficient like

today's the 1st day that one or 2 shots in the town had opened to most people are still staying at home. and as you can see, the sub the old border close. people have been afraid amongst rumors that the violence is going to erupt anytime again. at the moment. i'm so sorry because all the safety, it's still not safe out what's going on that the school danger. so we just trying to do a little bit of the committee here is one of the 1st shops to open, but it's owners. i hid is still assisting the damage. he says he was lucky to escape with his life intact. they've been losing everything in the shop. he would be to bred love everything for me to the noise you better, but i did not get his dog in my shop is all new to you.

suffer on the crowd. and for that reason, people ran away. people from both this town and surrounding areas have come here because it's only place that they can get food. i came here to buy the groceries 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 couldn't break the shop. 1 shop, i'd, we 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 awesome over. so there's a lot of panic buying happening right now. on the tip of the african continent policy at our teeth on the south coast. nothing's wrong today. don't forget, we do have a lot more new stories that couldn't squeeze in here in the time we have. you can
