the me ah, the this weekend protested clash with police and central paris with water can on the fly that angry demonstrators, thousands rally nationwide against government plans to make cobit parties mandatory and public places, infections rise and looking back to some of the other big stories we brought you in the week just gone a chilling effect on media. freedom is the reactions were dropped british law, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose state secrets the devastation in china from what's being called the worst flooding in a 1000 years. with dozens of death infrastructure wiped out,

and dams, breach, and severe weather elsewhere as well had grapes that demick failure, the german government slammed for not doing more to prevent last week's deadly flooding. despite previous morning, the devastations claimed almost 200 lives and caused damage worth billions of euro's. ah, i know that sunday and say that means we're going to run you through some of the biggest stories that we've been covering here over the past 7 days. we got the weekends developments to get you up to speed on 1st. paris police have fire water, canada, people protesting against plans for mandatory health passes in the country. thousands gathered in the capital to vent their frustrations over coby restrictions. i use

the the 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 the tensions with that water cannon. they find that the protesters also 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 than to get inside, you have to show you fully vaccinated against colgate 19. or that you have got

a negative p. c all and teach and 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 minutes for labor has also given them into the same thing. so not only will those individuals want to access thought carefully the restaurant means this house pass. 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, open obligatory health pulse and that's exactly now what's happening. but also they

feel that the, the allure is going to be amended to be able to suspend employees without the right to any pay has really may, steve, it's joe russell. see, it's a cinema. these employees can be dismissed if they do not have a health path, either an anti gen test or both components of the vaccination 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 from the principle of freedom, equality and fraternity. and now it's all over the government. so this is what it really is the way forward, tackles because they'd pandemic, because from now, the government says is in the middle of a way of that. and it's saying that the need to ramp up the number or back to the

nation as we know that health workers will be vaccinated by the middle of september the work. and again, there are still many people vaccinated people as well. the spoken to who say that this is about the freedom, the right of individuals to choose what happens to their bodies. no violent pushback elsewhere in europe to against coven policies. the in greece, thousands are opposing a mandatory vaccination program, which has been introduced to some groups including health workers, protested reportedly used petrol bombs during the unrest. it comes despite 45 percent of the population already being inoculated against corona virus. this is the british capital, which is also seen a mass demonstration under the slogan,

worldwide, rally for freedom. thought not everyone share the same message and scuffles broke out between the campaigners themselves. the protest stays just days off the major cobra restrictions were lifted. they're locked up for reporting the fates facing journalists in britain. f. a draft law goes through reporters. i met sources, could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jail for up to 14 years. senior correspondent, as 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 with her blue 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 their 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 face a 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 spies. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail, but 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 he lou would give the most or authoritarian regimes in the world a run for their money. in the 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, with journalism doesn't come up once in the 66 page report itself fundamental to

the 66 page report. journalists can be more dangerous than obviously the u. s. as 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's a journalists have to be done. that is misty, the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in erasing 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 a lot of scary and dramatic weather around to get to the last 7 days. it led to some devastating floods in central china with at least 50 killed,

more than 300000 others, forced to flee their homes and what said to be the heaviest rains in a millennium. the wall some about flooding has now receded whole streets in some cities have been turned into rivers. the authorities are ramping up rescuer and recovery operations right now, but many people are still missing. all settings also play nearly 200 lives in western europe to another 300 people still unaccounted for amid floods that have caused damage estimated at more than 2000000000 euros. we have all the opposition in germany's calling for the interior minister to quit, blaming him personally for the country. being unprepared for the deluge,

volunteers have been helping to clear the devastation. crippled infrastructure, coupled with huge pals of daybreak, had been making it difficult to move around for life to return to even a semblance of normality. no one had politicians in climate experts claimed that the government knew of the impending catastrophe in advance, but failed to warn citizens, but on the other officials claimed that the worst had areas were alerted either way, it's led many to ask what went so badly wrong as our europe correspondents been finding 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 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 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. remember what happened with the opinions of experts analyzing 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, 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 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 nature would throw out them this time? and will lessons be learned from this tragedy feature all of all teeth in cologne,

germany. we spoke to an m p for germany's left party who told us the government's repeatedly broken 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 in germany federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems aware that the, the federal government is 3. they said that last year to check their allow system and this was the sailor 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 evacuations, in other countries were a better organized than germany, which is the we should say 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 or political responsibilities. people are not sitting there with of the big party they put, reside in the weakness made headlines to a women's beach handball team and a spa hot water over their choice of outfit. in this case, a company pair of short thing is the european humble federation had forbidden them from wearing anything other than the regulation briefs. and this will raise questions about the sexualization of female sport poly boy. go took a candid look 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 in a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. and while the old all the tree rules mean that the norwegian

beach bays are obliged to strip down, apparently the athlete called lizzie, a brain has been told that her shorts were too short at a recent competition in the u. k. i just, i just, i just kid and she said that, no, i didn't get a bad binding had to 2021 is getting confusing. you got time on the wait list biz pick female power limby and being told to dress more appropriately and female handle has being pun, they're trying to dress more comfortably. in the case of the norwegian, the team, actually the european handle federation for permission for playing. 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, this is the room, the man get to play like this. the man rules state that the

breezy swimming chunk like shorts can finish 10 centimeters above the knee cap, while the women are obliged to have them on display needlessly back to allied while running around, doing strenuous exercise in fronted spect cases i'm being watched on tv. good possibly have anything to do with the caliber view is watching these for when you got it. be awesome because it's always a summer, some very, some people at the university of alabama actually analyze the beach volleyball at the 2004 a little they found that 20 percent of the cameras shot were tight shot of play is chest. wow. and the scent of that camera

races, some of you. so the research has concluded, the visual coverage of the games confirm that sex and sexuality will use not only to promote the me, but to sell the court to he was around the world. i love my something tells me that wouldn't be the case if the male players was mine. he needs with the international this sunday morrow, the weekly on the way mega 1000000000. amazon found a jeff phases made it a space this week, but more than a few people wanted it to be a one way ticket. find out why with us just said the ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows, ah, join me every thursday on the alec salmon 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 moon. ah. hello again. well, he's already the world's richest man bird. amazon found a jeff bay's also scale new heights after blasting off into orbits and his own rocket. demanding a star to watch the. it was a quick trip into space, the entire journey laughed at any 10 minutes base off landing safely back on a sunday and wanted to believe that to stay in space for good. an online petition objecting to his re entry rector more than a $160000.00 signatures. i mean, the week i'll teach caleb moore pin off new yorkers, whether in an ideal world late allowing back we need them 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 a bit 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. we had 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

a 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 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 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 to 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 to move, i mean over to the next planet. 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 in the outer space as the latest piece of space junk martin r t new york. well, i couldn't. some of those thought sir, former employee chris small's, who now heads the amazon labor union, explains why ordinary work is perceived. these kinds of space adventures is disrespectful. i feel like is a slap in the face, obviously being a worker for almost 5 years with the company. and i can tell you now the work is that i'm organizing, we're outside of staten island are they didn't take it well as either i guess his growth is over $200000000000.00. he made a lot of money off of us. his wealth increased like 3 times them out within one year air. you don't do that without exploiting your workers. and the fact that, you know, we're still struggling to have a decent living wage and it's

a fight for health care in benefits that benefit workers. we know people to have died last year just from colby 19 in you know, we know people that are brain dead from catching corona virus inside the facilities . so use a sad thing without your ceo, which is mentioned in that we paid for it. gotcha. is celebrating navy de with nationwide parades, marketing services, 325th anniversary. one of the biggest celebrations is in the port city of petersburg russians. defense minister says it's the largest one, the in years. and president putin address service personnel that a little early at the event will be rounded off with a firework display proceeding all across russia. 15000 mariners took part with almost 300 pieces of military hardware on show as well all corresponding constantine, raj calling got to look at the preparations before this large scale event. were

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 as steadfast or resolute. rushing corvettes or frigates 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 aden in 2000, 1902, the score to the merchant ships and make sure there were not a tag bite. some all the pirates truth be told, the ships argument is not something laughed at. the store, gate and other corvettes of that last can to fight against aircraft submarines and other ships that have artillery guns. but its main and the most for middle weapon is right here. it's the launching pad of rushes, latest cruise missiles caliber,

the columbia. was it hard to city worship in here? so you almost well 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 near saint petersburg, and this is where some of the biggest bad thought that i think is hard in the brain are for 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. russia's ladies nuclear stop. that was commission just the year ago the my 1st grad world headlines back in april after an operation in the arctic ocean when its surface from under the, along with 2 other stuff. this was the 1st time in the history of the russian in soviet navy. the central mission had taken place. we're on deck rocket ship,

cold deal on adult. and what's interesting about this worship is that it took part in an actual military operation. in theory, back in 2016 when these crew members were fighting isis. well, this is one of the lower decks of the ship. this is the quarter. it is where the crew members live. as you can see right here, one of the crew members is ironing his uniform levels 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 emerge as a global reading. learning vader's

river. so i'm going do, but you could, you know. ok, that's weekly for this hour. i'll have you next edition after we visit an almost crime free us town with a dark secret and a mysterious disappearance. the dakota entrapment types is next on anti international the the ah, the eastern half of the united states were going to have 1000000000,

if not trillions of periodical cicada is interacting with tens of millions of human beings in their backyard. oh, my god. obviously some of the cicadas do not have very high tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out are sick minutes, a 400 i mean that's very satisfying. and 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 development only personally i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be.
