me ah, the this we can protest this clash with police and central power is with water cannon fodder, angry demonstrators. thousands across the country, arriving against the government plan to make it i think policy is mandatory bread for public places. the same time, most inspection cases on the rise, looking back to the other big stories brought in the last 7 days, a chilling effect. so media freedom is the reaction to a new law proposed by the government that could threaten investigative journalists with prison. if they expose the secret.

the devastation in china was being called the worst flooding in a 1000 years. a cold dozens of death, white code infrastructure, and breached and not just raise a bad weather elsewhere. 2 plus a grave systemic failure. the german government slammed them for not doing more to prevent last week deadly flooding their slight previous warnings. the devastations claimed almost 200 lives and caused damage, amounting to billions of years ah, mid day sunday here, moscow will welcome to the weekly on our team with me, kevin, in bringing what's happening right now as you heard. and also looking back at some of the big headlines over the last 7 days and 1st and paris police have 5 water

candidate. people protesting against plan for mandatory health passes in france, thousands gathered in the capital there to vent their frustrations over covey restrictions the mm. mm mm. we've had figures from the ministry of the interior that said there were a 161000 individuals who decided to send onto the street to protest these new restrictions. 11000 of those were here in paris where you saw those tensions with that water cannon being fired at the protest. this is 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 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 all fully vaccinated against colgate 19, or that you have a negative p. c. all i'm teaching test will the parliament is doing at the moment is looking at the bill that is expected to be passed this weekend, which will extend that restriction. now the minutes for labor has also given them into the you stating that not only will those individuals want to access cafes and restaurants means the health path. so to work is 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 a new procedure for suspending the employment contract without remuneration and ended as soon as the employee comply. so only what people furious about, the fact that just a few months ago, president mccord 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 id, the allure is going to be amended to be able to suspend employees without the right to any pay has really made them to speak to whole regional fits of cinemas. these employees can be dismissed if they do not have a health path, either an anti gen test 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 me if 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 on the principle of freedom, equality and fraternity. and now it's all over the government. so this is what it believe is the way forward, 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 the need to ramp up in number or back to the nation as 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. indeed, violent pushback elsewhere in europe to against covert policies. the you can save yourself grief, which is coming in from clowes is opposing

a mandatory vaccination program, which has been introduced to some groups including health workers. protest is reportedly used petrol bombs during the unrest. the cabinet is $545.00 defense of the country's population already being inoculated against corona virus. elsewhere, the u. k. capital is also seen the muslim station under the slogan worldwide valley for freedom. but not everyone shared the same message and scuffles broke between the campaign as themselves. the process happens just days of the major public destruction lifted their way small we pro is this looks up for reporting the fate facing journalists. if we propose the british law is passed, report is on their sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets couldn't see them jailed for up to 14 years. a senior correspondent had the story. a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot. so 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 authorize disclosure offenses. there are cases where an authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. but more the legislation seeks to remove with her blue protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead it 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 leaked video kissing a coworker after he obliged millions to abide by his own 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 secret. lou has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see any journalist to share this with your shed. 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 and the data bases 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 spies. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail them, there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engaging 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 make no mistake. this, this new secret law would give the most authors area and regimes in the world a run for their money. at past we feel blowing and investigative journalism,

as we know within the u. k. dead. this is one of the biggest wide ranging attacks on grants freedom, perhaps, since since democracy came to britain, the definitions in the report are very old indeed. in fact, were journalism doesn't come up once in the $66.00 page report itself fundamental to the $56.00 page report, journalists can be more dangerous than scholarly. obviously, the u. s. is prosecuting fe juanita sons on the as jack this secretary or the secretary is backing a consultation document that suggests that journalist 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, is the level of logical 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 it created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act before looks to be such scary and dramatic weather. and again, last 7 days it led to some devastating floods in central china, at least 50 killed and over 300000 falls to flee. the homes were said to be the heaviest rains in a millennium. the who's also without flooding has now receded whole streets in cities would turn into raging rivers. at times. authorities are ramping up rescue and recovery operations,

but many are still reported missing. not just their flood things claimed, nearly 200 lives in western europe to around 300 people are accounted for this weekend and the route was going on behind the scenes, over at the opposition in germany's calling for the interior minister to quit. blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the deluge. the floods of course damage estimated more than 2000000000 euros volunteers have been helping best they can to help clear the devastation, crippled infrastructure. coupled with again, as you can see for yourself, a huge pause. a debris making it really difficult to move around and try to get life back to some semblance of order anytime soon. now, on the one hand talking about the row behind the scenes, politicians and club experts and the government knew about the impending catastrophe in advance. but simply felt a warning citizens on the other though, officials say that's not true, they say the worst areas were alerted. either way, it's that many to us was went so badly wrong. europe correspondence was across it

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 where 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 due to. 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 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 the history of 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 particular, hardy places visiting the thing of utter devastation caused by the flooding and west in germany. john langler merkel pledged more efforts to tackle the challenges 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 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 the end, and now the bridge is gone again. this part of germany is no stranger to flooding, which begs the questions. why with the authorities not better prepared for what nature would throw out them this time. and will lessons be learned from this tragedy piece roll of all tea and cologne, germany. that's what he had. tom and tom again. office kind of thing, isn't it? we spoke to them p for germany's left part. you told us the government's repeatedly broken promises when it came to emergency systems checks. we are witnessing a fatal or a monumental sailor on different levels as you know, we have in germany federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems

aware that the, the federal government is free. they, they do 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 so no, they are not doing this for next year. it seems that the warning system and of following evacuation in other countries were a better organized than germany, which is the 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. the political responsibilities, people are not sitting there with of the big party did. they reside totally different controversy for our next story making headlines, a willingness beach handball team in a spot, a hot water over their choice of outfit. in this case,

a nice comfy pair of shorts. the repeal humboldt federation had forbid them though from wearing anything other than the regulation briefs. it will raise questions about the sexual ization of female sport and poly boy took a candid look at it 2021 this summer. oh sure. oh, lack thereof. in the case of the norwegian speech handball team, which has been fined 1700 year a for wearing shorts than a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. while the old all the 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach bass 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 said, just kid and she said that, no, i didn't get a bad binding. had to 2021 is getting confusing. you got transgender wait listed.

abilene pick female power limby and being told to dress more appropriately and female handle has being punished for trying to dress more comfortably indicated the norwegian, the team, actually the european handbook federation for permission for playing shore. 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 this is the room. the man get to play like this. the man rules state that the agree, the swimming chunk like short can finish 10 centimeters above the kneecap, while the women are obliged to have them on display maintenance, respect to allies while running around doing strenuous exercise in front inspect

cases. i'm being watched on tv. you could possibly have anything to do with these canada viewers and watching the school will be there because it's always the summer. i've been very some people at the university of alabama. i analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2411. they found that 20 percent of the cameras shot were tight shot of play is chest. wow. and the scent of that camera braces. some of you. so the research has concluded, the visual coverage of the game, confirm that sex and sexuality, we use not only to promote the me, but to sell the school to us around the world. i love my

something tells me that wouldn't be the case if the male players was mine. he needs to pay your money. takes joe. you say this is alex international coming up. i can stick around the sundays. kevin and hear from all scope billionaire amazon, jeff, base us and making it up into space this we know for long, but he got there but some wanted to be a one way ticket. find out why with us just ahead ah. ah ah. ah

me. what we've to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy going from station 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 critical time time to sit down and talk me ah ah, he's already the world's, which his mom, but amazon found

a jeff face or scaled new heights of to blasting off into it. it is own rocket. and i didn't start to watch the entire journey lasted just 10 minutes with the base of landing safely back on a some though i wanted the billionaire to stay in space for good. an online petition object thing to is re entry rector more than 160000 signatures in the week out. he's kellum, open us to yoke, is whether an ideal world date allow him back on planet earth again, anytime soon 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 problems right now with the pandemic. but they're going to space at the end of the day. we supposed be focused 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 i was who actually avoided paying taxes. many look at this and blame it 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 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 its obscene race to space severe quite to pay this show. 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 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 upgraded to the fact that how we bought the movie was 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. martin r t new york. russia celebrating navy day with parades around the country,

marking the services 3 and 25th anniversary. right now. this is the event from the paul city of some, petersburg rushes defense minister, earliest thing. it's the largest event type in years. president pushes re, spoken to all across russia. 15000 personnel said to take part in today's events with almost 300 pieces of military hardware on show that they are a corresponding coast. he was coffee, got an early look at events. we're right in the heart of saint petersburg on the 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 out that fast or resolute washing corvette or frigging by native classification, are relatively small, but vast warships they're designed to protect coastal waters or other vessels. for instance, stores were sent to the gulf of aidan, in 2001,

902 scored if the merchant ships make sure that we're not attacked by some all the truth be told. this shifts armament is not something to laugh. that story in the course of the last can fight against aircraft submarines and other ships that have are hillary guns but its main and the most formidable weapon is right here. it's the launching pad of rushes, latest cruise missiles caliber. daniel voice in the neighbor river, usually used by small tours boats. was it hard to city worship in here? so if 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 battle that i think it's hard to parade our form along 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. that's why the, my 1st grab world headlines back in april after an operation in the arctic ocean when its surface from under the ice along with you other stuff. 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 rocket ship called the lawn adult. 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 the quarters. this is where the

crew members live, as you can see right here, one of the crew members is ironing 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 its naval. what's down that help emerge. and the global academic arena. you know, it's not gonna make any better river if they have to go in and you get your final bit and use emergency workers engage an ongoing struggle. still battling fears while father, east and russia. bad mix of record heat, not much rain of contributed to extraordinary intense fires. russian authorities

have even been deploying those fire service pirate troopers to get a handle on it. the the, me, the 1st of all, when you're one on one with you, feel the heat, the seriously feel anxious while and then you can get injured because you're jumping onto unprepared. landing areas 1st, if dangerous as trees come forth, that's what we try not to work separately. when somebody's patrolling an area, they always go with a companion we parachute or repel from the helicopter to a site. the most important thing is that you save nature for

g, i was the situation very serious last year, 5 once the 5th, where the conditions do not allow us to put out the fires as quickly as we would like. these wildfires are very difficult to fight as mere complicated with mountains and wind, but it's possible to fight for severe or yeah, good luck guys. big job is made. that's the way the headline shapes of over the last 7 days in this we can keep across. so much more at r t dot com the the, the.
