doing clearly, they put him in harm's way, a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else had to be happening with the a grave systemic failure. germany faces criticism for not doing more to prevent last week's flooding. tragedy despite previous warnings, almost $200.00 lives are lost and the damage caused what amounts of failure on assassination attempt on molly's interim president, the attack catholic during a prayer service in the west african nations central. most managers start to one, the author of the world's richest man, jeff bezos successfully complete a 10 minute space flight in his private companies rocket. that was off the

thousands petitions for him not to come back at the latest generation flying power showcase to crowds just outside moscow. the bi annual max show which open today also with the unveiling of a brand new su, quite fighter jack. ah, well, plenty of your store, it's viewed light up tonight and live from moscow where it's not work just off to 9 pm on tuesday. welcome to the program. the number of confirmed dead after the devastating floods in western europe now has risen to 199 of we understand another 300 people are still unaccounted for. a search and rescue operations or remain under way in the worst areas of germany and belgium. meanwhile, the opposition in germany is calling for the interior minister to quit. it play with him personally for the countries unpreparedness floods of cause damaged,

estimated more than 2000000000 euros volunteers from all over have been helping to clear the devastation of crippled infrastructure. coupled with huge positive debris, it's making it difficult just to move around and ultimately for life to return to even a 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 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 is not only locals and good by the authorities . response politicians on climate experts claim the government knew of the impending catastrophe in advance, but just failed to warn citizens. officials though claimed that the worst hit areas were altered as led many to ask what,

when so badly wrong was peter all of now reports 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 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 belonging or another 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. in history of 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 sent out messages instead of targeting people on the spot and perhaps getting people out of their homes in particularly hard places. visiting the thing of utter devastation caused by the flooding in western germany, chance 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 which is another 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 situation 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 the end. 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 feature all of all see and cologne. germany. we spoke to andre hung co, m p for germany's left party. he says that governments repeatedly broken its promises when it comes to the issue of emergency systems checks. we are witnessing a fatal or a monumental sailor on different levels. as you know, we have generally a federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems aware. but for example, the, the federal government is 3. they said to that last year to

check their allow system and this was a failure and pronounced to do it again this year and to repair it. and they didn't do all they are pronounced because for next year. it seems that the warning systems and of following evacuation in other countries are a better organized than germany, which is the which is because the high developed country. but there's a problem in that system and we have to check it and we have to make it better. is there a particular response to people are not fulfilling their responsibility for it if they should reside? that's been assassination attempt on molly's interim. president report suggest he was attacked during a prayer service in the capital's main mosque. more details have without

correspondence. shawna. do 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 . that attack came during a sermon for the festival, the islam mac festival, to bassi. now, according to the manager of the mosque, the moment just given assume. and when he talks about the sacrifice of the sheep, 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 mosque and has been taken to a secure location at an army base. but there are reports that another individual was injured in that assassination attempt to just want to give you a bit of background to what's happening in the molly at the moment. a see me going

to is this 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, a could know me and he was the man that was behind molly's military crew. back in august last year, which saw molly move in to an interim 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 that, 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 african 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 pick up. and without this civilian government, 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. the 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. at the same time, the united nations, which has around $14000.00 trips 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 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. but earlier in the program here on r t, i spoke with their store and gerald horn about who might be behind the assassination attempt. there are a number of possible culprits, the number one on the list or the religious don't like who are on the marks, not only and molly, but we're health health region. there are one of the reasons why francis decided to pull back in terms of the deployment of troops. and of course, ultimately you could point the finger vacuous ation at parents. because it's parents that over the decades is treated molly, like a political football, intervening and interfering extensively and excessively in molly's internal affairs

. helping to destabilize left wing elements which were bit foreign, redistributing the wealth, which creates a vacuum for the rise of these religious though it is all the international. huge wildfires raging and ne, russia with a massive effort now underway to try and bring the situation under control of special fire fighting power troopers have been deployed in the battle. in the video, we can show you them in action, actually jumping out of the airplanes and power shooting down to the hot to reach areas. each trooper has a 20 liter backpack to fight the flames and of course, shovels as well. to dig those fire breaker lions, the emergency services volunteers, and locals have all been doing that bit to try and douse the flames in your kuta. i think smoke as hampering efforts in the worsted areas. according to the emergency ministry, a close to 200 wildfires, a boating right now with specialist chocolate drafted into help. forest fires are

also raging in another region that have cornelia popular tourist destination in the north west of the country. and people living in the part of the flames that has been evacuated. and a region wide drought has made forest tinder dry and very vulnerable to wildfires. these already the world's richest man, but amazon found a jeff bezos has scale to new heights off the blasting off into orbit in his own rocket. and then start to watch the it was a rather quick trip interface, the entire journey laughing just about 10 minutes and with the bizarre, sliding safely back on earth or some had wanted a billionaire to stay in space for good. an online petition objecting to his re entry, wrapped up more than a 160000 signatures and our t caleb martin and our testing the pulse of those in new york. we need them. yeah,

but i'm say a lot of things happen in the world. you don't need to be flying to the space that seems a little bit extreme. but maybe because it will probably never really happen. those 3 people alone can take care of the whole world 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 just days. those is not the only billionaire to have gotten space fever. he actually lost the space race to another ultra rich man, 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, those who actually avoid paying taxes. many look at this and blame

a corrupt loophole, written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due backwards and corrupt tax system has allowed the same person who pays nicks 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 1st. while working families were 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 starbucks. these travels never going to be affordable for everybody, but 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 movie with earth. i mean over to explain it

possibly. so you never know 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. well, as us has become the 2nd 1000000000 ad or private, they make it a space and less than one week. but those achievements onto pressing oxfam, oxfam as calculated for every minute of business mogul goes to space 11 people die of starvation globally. richard wolf at the university of massachusetts and the host says the trips are an unnecessary extravagant. 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 in 10 demik are still to come here on the program or to get up to spy in your pocket. a major leak sparks outrage. is it a ledgers? israeli develop phones? spyware has been used by government. so all around the world to snoop on john list is politicians and even priests will lift the lid on that in just a minute. i i what we've got to do is identify

the threats that we have. it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with me ah ah, i

use the that's going to be to join us here for this program on r t. a tool to intimidate any one critical. that's how human rights groups have branded the israeli hacking spyware. pegasus. a new revelation suggest has been used by governments all around the world to target john list and politicians among them. the likes of french president emanuel mac, ron, and the software it was originally developed though, to help the fight against criminals and terrorists, resulted on either cause in a rush. cough now report has 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 journalist 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 again, any kind of forth we have in the european union. what of 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 tooling question is called. busy 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. 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 surveillance imaginable. according to the investigative journalist, someone who knows your mobile number can use spec us as to read all of your attacks, e mails, chats and location data that's used to require victim to click a malicious link, 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. and as a 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 the company. these really want these booking and selling gets the product with all the relevant lives from expands or and it's

leaking budget raise. the question mother is sufficient. all kinds of tools and private phone company and and it may rain joplin a question. and when you have such to poke the one that can talk you soon or last soon. even though the need, if you will press any link, it may read the question whether we need to regulate those activities. one of those targeted is french human rights activists on journalists, dominique, simo, she's already said, she's going to file a lawsuit though, she hasn't clarified against whom we spoke to her lawyer. she dominique the fact that dominic seminar was spied on means that almost all important journalists and

all editor offices in france could be spied on. that's what's important. so if we know lawyers are being targeted, and we also know that the $500.00 french noise who conduct the highest profile cases might also be why attorneys. and it's not just why it's happening. this means that absolutely any information can be leaked. this is a violation, not only a fundamental rights, but also the most importantly of confidentiality. if they are journalists this concerns their right not to disclose their sources. in the case of lawyers, we're talking about attorney secrecy. think about doctors, they listen to every one, but it's also worth recording that n, as has indicated that prior to any request to install its pegasus software. it awaits prior approval from the israeli authorities. that is the israeli authorities and exactly how it will be used. who will wire tap. whom can you imagine that if he is really states does this, we can be sure that the american state and everyone else is doing the same. and the french stay to the skies. they've been roaring around moscow today. the best in the

next generation flying power, dazzling crowds just outside the capital among those in attendance. on tuesdays opening up a max ash oh, flag may putin who got a chance to should we say assess the latest su hoyt fighter jet. the bi annual event has been around for almost 3 decades. that will run this year for 5 days. of course one of the eager to donal brings us to some of today's highlights. so today's the 1st day of one of the world's biggest shows max 2021. today is also a business day. so it means all the top bosses brushes, companies working in defense in high tech, in the space. they're all here to network and well perhaps make deals. but by far the most high profile jessia is vladimir putin. we came here not only to enjoy the show, but also it's for a grand reveal of something that is stored in a warehouse in the background behind me. it was a wash and fight to gent,

brand new, never seen before, and never presented to the public named checkmate. ah, it seems pretty much everything is out of the ordinary with this new fighter jet evens and naming foods outside of the russian tradition. like for example, mig at 35, this one has a more of a nato style name, checkmates again. now we don't know much about this machine yet. what we have been told is that you can carry up to almost 7 and a half tons of military equipment and travel at the speed of twice the speed of sound. now this was certainly the most impressive thing shown today, but not the only one. we've seen brand new russian passenger jets fly. also some

impressive aerobatics from another. gen fighter jet sou who is 57. now this was of course, just the 1st day this show will be open to the public for a few days more for a couple more days. for everybody who might be willing to enjoy the show thrown by some of the world's most elite performers. and will have coverage for the next 4 days from about the max as show here on our t international. for the meantime though, we are back at the top of the ah ah ah, financial survival guide. let's learn about be allowed. i'm a joy and your grief. i'm grief based of the fight. walk 3 prod. thank you for

helping with joy. that's right. fell out that way. the war on drugs noted as a way to come back, a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening. i

mean for my phone are 69. i've done a lot of them. i just saw up dollar a former isis fighters and now a boarding a philippine naval ship with this has been the whole $900.00. just aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them to do can i get a hold of me
