the the the happening this we can protest as clashed with police and central powers with water cannon fodder, those angry demonstrators, thousands across the country and rallying against the government's plan, make covert $19.00 costs is mandatory for entering public places. as those infection cases continue to be on the rise, i look back to some of the other big stories in the last 7 days for all you have a chilling effect. all media freedom is the reaction to a new law proposed by the u. k. government, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose state secret

the what, whether devastation in china is being called the worst flooding in a 1000 years. because dozens of death, white code, infrastructure, and breach times, not just very bad weather in germany and a great systematic failure, the german government slammed for not doing more to prevent last week's deadly flooding. despite previous warnings, devastations claimed more than 200 lives and cause damage amounting to millions of europe. ah, hello, late sunday morning here most go very good morning for me than welcome to the weekly with me, kevin. oh, in the round up or what's happening right now, i'm some of the headlines of the last 7 days. as you heard, 1st,

paris police have fire water candidate, people protesting against plans for mandatory health policies in france. how's? who's gathered in the capital there to vent their frustrations over covert restrictions. the news me the we've had figures from the ministry of the interior that said there were a 161000 individuals who decided to spend onto the streets to protest these new restrictions. 11000 of those were here in paris where you saw those tensions with that water cannon inside at the protesters and also kick as being

used. so i just wanna explain a little bit about what the health passes. this is something this all ready in use has been in you since wednesday. and basically, what it means is places like cultural centers and museums at the moment, if there were more than 50 individuals inside, then to get inside you have to show you fully vaccinated against kobe 19, or that you have got a negative p. c all and teach in test what the parliament is doing at the moment is looking at the bill that's expected to be passed this weekend, which will extend that restriction. now the minister for labor has also given them into the youth stating that not only will those individuals who want to access falls cafes and restaurants needs this house pass. so to will the workers old. so the establishment and if they're not in compliance with that, they could be suspended without pay, they will not be able to remain to avoid having to go straight to dismiss. so we are creating new procedure for suspending the employment contract without

remuneration and ended as soon as the employees comply. so only what people furious about the fact that just a few months ago, present macro and had said that they would be no introduction of an obligatory health pulse. and that's exactly now what's happening. but also they feel that the idea that allure is going to be amended to be able to suspend employees without the right to any pay has really made them to fees as to whole. the resume, it's a cinemas these employees can be dismissed if they do not have a health pulse, either an anti dentist or both components of the vaccination and needed, and the letter of which should have been administered during the week before they took me. this is completely unacceptable. what is happening in france right now is absolutely unbelievable. 2 years ago we could not have imagined this at the moment . we are in a situation where people want to go to work and they are told you can't because you haven't been vaccinated. and this is despite the fact that for many years we have

lived more or less from the principle of freedom, equality, and fraternity. and now it's all over the government. so this is what it believe is the way for wood tackles, because they'd pandemic, because from now, the government says is in the middle of a food wave of fat. and it's saying that they need to ramp up the number of back to nations. we know that health workers will need to be vaccinated by the middle of september. they will be able to work. and again, there are still many people vaccinated people as well. the i spoken to who said that this is about the freedom, the right of individuals to choose what happens to their bodies violent pushback elsewhere in europe to against covered policies. the in greece, thousands are opposing a mandatory vaccination program. we should put introduced to southern groups

including health workers. protests is reported to use petrol bombs during the unrest. it comes just by 45 percent of the country's population already being inoculated against corona virus, probably london as well. the u. k. capital is seen a mass demonstration on the slogan, a worldwide riley for freedom, the cold it footnote. everyone shared the same message, it seems. scuffles broke in between the campaigners themselves. the protest happened just days after major coverage restrictions there were lifted, locked up for reporting, the fate facing journalists. if a proposed british lowest pass reporters in the sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years. senior corresponded, had the story. a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot to argues the british government in this 66 page proposal,

which erases the line between investigative journalism whistle. blowing and spies are all the same under the proposed new secret law. although there are differences in the mechanics of and motivations behind espionage and unauthorized disclosure offenses, there are cases where an authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious incentive intent and or damage. what's more, the legislation seeks to remove without blow protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead advisors would be whistleblowers to, to go and talk to their boss if they have a moral issue with something that they're doing rather than reveal it to the public that the government is engaged in something immoral or illegal trays is an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like the health secretary and leaks video kissing a coworker after he obliged millions to abide by his soon strict social

distancing measures? i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them. and that's why i've got to resign officially. this new beefed up version of the secrecy. lou has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see any journalist who shared this video shared anything that they received problem with blue, couldn't see the sentence of more than a decade behind bars. due to the new way of defining espionage, including obtaining sensitive information, as well as pass it on journalists, whom are simply working. their stories can potentially face up to 14 years in prison by receiving some secret information. there's much more to it. aside from

the harsh sentences and the least than the databases of potential threats, there are special powers that the government wants to give itself the power to punish and restrict individuals, be the journalists or foreign spas. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail, but there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engage in hostile activity, but to limited evidence that could be openly used to support criminal prosecution. the civil order could include a range of restrictive and preventative measures, including measures to prevent an individual associating with certain people or from visiting specified sensitive locations. currently, these proposals are being polished off at the foreign office but could soon be in parliament and make no mistake these, these new secrets he would give the most or authoritarian regimes in the world a run for their money, a pass whistle blowing, and investigative journalism as we know within the u. k. dead,

this is one of the biggest wide ranging attacks on press freedom. perhaps since since democracy came to britain, the definitions in the report are very old indeed. in fact, with journalism doesn't come up once in the 66 page report itself fundamental to the 56 page report. journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously the u. s. is prosecuting fe, julia sans on the b as b jack. this secretary, secretary is backing a consultation document that suggests that journalists that much worse than spies supplies after all, can work for one government or another government or one actor jones. if they publish the material, everyone can see it. so journalists have to be done. that is me asleep level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in a raising freedoms and rights of the free press here in this country that have been

that have been created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act before looks to be scary. i'm dramatic whether a run again the last 7 days is led to some really devastating floods in central china, at least 50 killed. and it was 300000, forced to flee the homes and was said to be the heaviest rains in a millennium. the who's while some of that flooding has at least, thankfully receded whole streets for

a while in some cities with turned. busy into raging rivers authorities ramping up rescuing recovery operations. many people still unaccounted for this weekend and flooding clay nearly 200 lives in western europe to around 300 paper on accounting for the same time. the opposition in germany is calling for the interior minister to quit over it. blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the deluge. the floods of caused damage estimated at more than 2000000000 euro volunteers have been help her best. they can declare the devastation cripple the infrastructure willing to see for yourself. coupled with huge powers of deb rays made it really difficult to move around and for life to return quickly to some sort of semblance of order. now or whatnot. politicians in climate experts came, the government knew all about the impending catastrophe in advance, but they failed. they said to warn it. citizens on the other officials claim the worsted areas were alerted me the way. it's led to many people asking what did go so badly wrong. as

a europe corresponds and found out 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 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 was 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. remember what happened with the opinions of experts analyzing 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 hard places. visiting the thing of utter devastation caused by the flooding in western 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 account more than we have done in recent years. there had been warnings from the weather in 2016 the river, bob bursted bank, 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 good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting to 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 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 will lessons be learned from this tragedy? peace role of a c and cologne. germany is the kind of question here us every time isn't that we spoke to n p for germany less part. he told us the government's repeatedly broken his promises when it comes to emergency systems checks. we are witnessing a fatal or a monumental sailor on different levels as you know, we have to germany, a federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems aware that the, the federal government is 3. they,

they do that last year to check their allow system and this was a failure and renown to do it again this year and to repair it. and they didn't do so. no, they are not doing this for next year. it seems that the warning systems and following evacuation in other countries were a better organized germany, which is the which is because the high developed country. but that's the problem in that system and we have to check it and we have to make it better. is there a particular responsibilities people are not sitting there with of the big party they should reside in that way. this got a lot of people so i can make headlines to the next story. a woman's beach hand bull team in a spot, a hot water over the choice of outfit. in this case,

a come prepared shorts, no less. the european humble federation though, had forbidden them for where we're going to think of the regulation briefs. it will raise questions about the sexualization of female sports and i'll teach poly boys took a candid look at it to 2021 this summer. oh sure. oh, lack thereof. in the case of the norwegian speech handball team, which has been fined 1700 euros for wearing shorts in a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. while the old all the 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach bay are obliged to strip down, apparently the athlete called lizzie, a brain has been told that her shorts were too short a recent competition in the u. k. i just, that's how she said that, no, i didn't concern about finding head. sure. 2021 is getting confusing. you got time

gender weight lifted at the pick female parent limby, and being told to dress more appropriately and female handle has being pun, they're trying to dress more comfortably. in the case has been the legion, the team actually be european handle federation for permission to play and sure, but the federation said no, they did it. anyway, they were last with a fine. i have not been given a good reason. they just the telling us the, this is the room, i'm the man, get to play like this. the manager rules state that agree the swimming chunk like sure can finish 10000 meters above the kneecap. while the women are obliged to have that on display maintenance effect to allied while running around, doing strenuous exercise in front inspect cases, i'm being watched on tv. good. this possibly have anything to do with

the caliber view is watching the full way. be awesome. because it's always summer, very good people at the university of alabama, i analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2004 a little they found that 20 percent of the camera shot were tight shot of play is chat. wow. descent of that camera, braces. some of you, so the research has concluded the visual coverage of the game, confirm, sex and sexuality. we use not only to promote the me, but to sell the forces he was around the world. i loved my something tells me that wouldn't be the case if the male players was mine. he needs

well, yeah, that reminds me much just mine off to still to come. this is our t high inflation soaring in the u. s. but joe, by the says, don't worry to the majority of american thing, hit in the pocket by rising prices and they are worried. we're across it for you from the brake shoes. ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments 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

i me ah ah, i use the my game with inflation in the us hitting a 13 year high. people are rapidly feeling the pinch. a poll published this week

says 88 percent of americans are worried about the disproportionate increase in living costs. president biden bow claims is just a glitch. in fact, it certainly seems to be having little impact on his spending plans. our experts believe in the data shows that most of the price increases we've seen are, were expected, and expected to be temporary. nobody suggestion is unchecked inflation on the way. no, serious times. let's check that no one checked inflation plan. now if you have a car, it costs you twice as much to run it as it did last year. your prices have double your daily breakfast now comes with an 8 percent price. as the cost of milk, bacon and fruit have gone up. on top of that, you've got consumer prices that have hit their highest amount since 2008. now, despite the presence assurances, america's working families already being hard hit by the pandemic are starting to feel the pinch. the groceries are definitely and also the runs are also going up

and just household items, making serious progress to ensure that it works the way it's supposed to work for the good of the american people. all construction material is out of this world. somebody's making some good money and i think it's because joe biden, we could help families in small business, is whether the ups and downs or as the economy recovers. i don't buy anything when asked me what the, wherever me give it says nowadays i, i truly, truly don't look, we brought this economy back from the brink. now biden refuses to hear those voices . perhaps you'll listen to those within his own party labor market tightness, behavior of housing, markets, and asset prices all rising in a more concerning way than i worried a few months ago. this raises my degree of concern overheating scenario. there are huge uncertainties, but the focus of concern now should be on overheating. and if that's not enough to change the president mind on the economy, perhaps this comparison is the wakeup call he needs. the u. s. isn't the very bad

position from a long term point of view. i don't see how these can and well, when we're running now, budget deficits, something like 15 percent of g d p. this is beginning to look a little bit like a latin american con, printing and spending money like there is no tomorrow, as pretty clearly got people concerned. biden gave the excuse to spend is necessary to tamp down and station, which is ridiculous, has nothing in common. the, you can't stop the consequences of monetary printing by doing even more monetary printing, which is what it means to spend this level of money. and the fact is that biden, and all of his advisors and the political party that he represents, are big spenders. and they want to spend more money, they think that the u. s. government can go into infinite amounts of that. there's no limits whatsoever. they really believe this by nature as us, the problems are just temporary, but perhaps it's a bit like the pandemic and the economic aftermath. it's

a bigger problem than was 1st thought. but it seems to be a problem that biden's apparently incapable of recognizing caleb martin r t new york. right live put a pump you ceremony for you. now life event, when it brings great pages coming in for some petersburg because russia celebrating navy de upgrades around the country marketing services, 300 to 25th anniversary. not a bad day for it to. lot of people there. $15000.00 personnel taking part in today's events, almost $300.00 pieces of military hardware on show to the countries taking part in the run. talk some petersburg. well, naturally it's a beautiful place right on the water is the main city putting on the parade. and that's what he's saying. there is going to go on for hours yet. president putin failed the fireworks lay through 5. if you want to false fact about this is one of the very few times a day times at least if you go to st. petersburg in those loza bridges there,

where you'll find the bridge is opened by day. you can use that in a pub quiz. anyway, let's look at some of the build up to the saw corresponding constant was called got an early look at the preparation. we're right in the of st. petersburg on the me a river and we're approaching a worship that. c has become a fixture of this naval parade. it's called corvette story, which can be translated as steadfast, war, resolute, rushing, or baths, or frigging by native classification are relatively small, but vast warships they're designed to protect coastal waters or other vessels. for instance, stork, it was sent to the gulf of aidan in 2019 to score it if the merchant ships and make sure that we're not a tag, bart, some all the pirates. truth be told. the ships argument is not something last that

dorky and other rest of the last can to fight against aircraft submarines and other ships that have or hillary guns. but it's main. and the most for middle weapon is right here. it's the launching pad of rushes, latest cruise missiles caliber. the annual voice in the neighbor river, usually used by small tourist boats. was it hard to city worship in here though? we had to do it during the night. we more the ship in complete darkness. it was quite difficult, but we managed we're on the island of branch that me or saint petersburg and this is where some of the biggest bad thought that i think it's hard and the brain are born among them. 3 nuclear power, it's submarines that are going to be on public display for the 1st time. and one of them definitely stand down slightly. russian ladies nuclear stop. that was commission just the year ago. and that's why the,

my 1st grad world headlines back in april, after an operation in the arctic ocean when its surface from under the ice, along with 2 other sounds. this was the 1st time in the history of the russian in soviet navy that such a mission had taken place and were on deck, could ship cold on a dog. and what's interesting about this worship is that it took part in an actual military operation in syria, back in 2016 when these crew members were fighting isis. well, this is one of the lower decks of the ship. this is a quarter. it is where the crew members live, as you can see right here, one of the crew members is irish, his uniform thought. and that was come for to who does the laundry for the russian navy, a washing machine and you operated yourself. you do everything by yourself. of course

we do the annual naval for rating st. petersburg as great symbolism for the country. russia is marking 325 years since it was founded in helping to merge the global rating. you know, it's not limited to the river going do, but you could, you know, and that's the way the weeks headlines shape came across so much more r t dot com for now. they said late sunday morning and most go kevin with me on you to team. thank you so much for watching the weekly wishing have a great rest of this weekend. oh, i didn't

join me every thursday on the alex famine show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the media reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation, whole community. you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend.
